Similar Species: The following members spiraeifoliana species complex (Gilligan et al. 2008) cannot at present be reliably distinguished by external features of adults. (A. mira is here included based on DNA barcode): 3365 A. spiraeifoliana 3366 A. laciniana 3367 A. burgessiana 3368 A. mira 3369 A. fuscociliana Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: • Anchylopera spiraeifoliana Clemens, 1860 • Phoxopteryx spiraeifoliana Walsingham, 1879 • Anchylopera spireaefoliana Clemens, 1860 Taxonomic Notes: Ancylis spiraeifoliana (Clemens, 1860) corrects the spelling of spireaeifoliana at MPG, an apparent typo. Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist) lists as a synonym spireaefoliana (Clemens, 1860), a misspelling corrected by later authors based on the host plant genus Spiraea.
