Nomenclatorial Notes:
Stonis and Rocienė (2014) placed Stigmella multispicata Rocienė & Stonis, 2014 in the Stigmella malella group (that previously also contained the species of our S. rhamnella group and in their vision also the prunifoliella group), but in fact the species is in all aspects extremely similar to Stigmella ulmivora, that only can be separated by details in the genitalia. It is therefore moved here, and it is highly likely that it feeds on Ulmus. (from van Nieukerken et al. 2016)
