Nomenclatorial Notes:
Stigmella myricafoliella (Busck, 1900) was described from Florida, Palm Beach, and reared from leafmines on Morella cerifera (as Myrica cerifera). We revise the synonymy of N. obscurella Braun, 1912 as a synonym of S. myricafoliella, on the basis of the host plant and genitalia. Details to be published elsewhere. (From van Nieukerken, 2016)
