Elasmopalpus angustellus explained

Elasmopalpus angustellus is a species of snout moths in the diverse subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Émile Blanchard in 1852.[1]

Elasmopalpus lignosellus has been considered a synonym of E. lignosellus.[2] Clarke (1965), however, re-investigated the two species and found E. angustellus to be a separate species that is confined to Chile and the Juan Fernández Islands, with material from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and North America correctly assigned to E. lignosellus.[3]
