From collection: USNM | | | Notes: Authorship of this taxon (as Grapholitha ninana) usually is attributed to Riley; the name first appeared in Rileys contribution to Smiths (1891: 93) checklist of the Lepidoptera of North America without a description or reference to specimens examined. Heinrich (1926: 60) correctly recognized that Dyar presented the first description, based on Rileys specimens, in a footnote in his checklist (Dyar 1903), and hence should be considered the author. | |
