Blastobasis vittata is a moth of the family Blastobasidae. It was thought to be endemic to Madeira[1] but is now known to inhabit the Netherlands, France, the Channel Islands, England and Northern Ireland.[2][3][4]
Taxonomy
[edit]The name Blastobasis lignea was for a time used for records now identified as Blastobasis adustella.[1] Karsholt & Sinev's taxonomic revision in 2004 reclassified Walsingham's original B. lignea specimen as B. vittata, making lignea properly the junior synonym of vittata. B. adustella was originally described by Walsingham as a variety of B. lignea.[1]
