• [Asteraceae:] Liabum sp. [Zucht des Holotypus (und der Paratypen?)]

Diškus & Stonis (2018: 872) geben zu bedenken: “Three new species (Stigmella aeneola, S. violea and S. bracteata) were reared together from the same samples (Figs. 40–43) of very similar leaf mines; at this stage, differentiation of leaf mines seems impossible.”
