2.1. Etymologie (Namenserklärung)

Pinzari & Pinzari (2020: 584) teilen mit: “The name of the new species derives from aenigma (mystery in Latin). The male, previously determined as H. vulneratella var. roseostrigella, after the clarifying work of GASTÓN et al. (2016) had remained enigmatic for a long time. Despite the research carried out since then in the same places, we have not been able to find other specimens and therefore, based on the clarity of the characters and biogeographical characteristics of the genus in Italy, we decided to describe the new species without delaying further.”
