Phytoecia molybdaena (Dalman, 1817)
Opsilia molybdaena (Dalman, 1817)

Some authors place this species in its own genus Opsilia, while other authors regard Opsilia as a subgenus of Phytoecia. In my opinion, there is currently insufficient evidence for the monophyly of Opsilia and the other subgenera of Phytoecia to warrant their acceptance as separate genera. Therefore, I currently do not split Phytoecia into numerous smaller genera.
