Glyphipterix minorella

Subspecies
No subspecies are recognized. Other authors regard the present taxon as a subspecies or individual aberration of Glyphipterix equitella. However, these forms differ in the morphology of the male genitalia, and have greatly overlapping (sympatric) ranges. Thus, these taxa should be regarded as separate species.


Synonyms
Glyphipteryx minorella Snellen, 1882
Glyphipterix minorella (Snellen, 1882)
Glyphipterix equitella minorella (Snellen, 1882)
Glyphipteryx sexguttella Toll, 1936
Glyphipteryx equitella sexguttella (Toll, 1936)

Note: the taxon Oecophora angulosella O. G. Costa, 1834, its unnecessary replacement name Elachista pernicipennella O. G. Costa, 1834, and its combination Elachista angulosella (Costa, 1834) cannot be unambiguously identified. Some authros tentatively place these names in the synonymy of the present species.
