3.3. Taxonomie und Faunistik

Christoph (1982: 33-34) teilte zu seiner "Lecithocera luridella" mit: "Bei Raddefka und Wladiwostok in der ersten Woche des Juni in Laubwäldern gefangen." Das Taxon geriet danach weitgehend in Vergessenheit. Erst Ponomarenko & Chernikova (2018) beschäftigten sich erneut näher mit diesem Taxon, untersuchten ein frisches Tier aus der Primorskii krai mit Daten "PK, Chuguevskii distr., "Zov Tigra" Nat. Park, Pobedinskaya polyana, 7-11.06.2013" und stellten dabei - genitalmorphologisch wie auch genetisch - fest, dass die Art in die Gattung Carcina gehört. Damit gab es auch ein neues Synonym: "The species Lecithocera luridella Christoph, 1882 was described in a nominative genus of the family Lecithoceridae on the base of a type series including specimens collected at Radde village (Jewish Autonomous Region) and at Vladivostok, Russian Far East. The species has been forgotten about 75 years from last mention in the catalog of Gelechiadae [sic!] (Meyrick, 1925). It is noteworthy that this species is absent in the Key to the insects of Russian Far East, part 2 (Lvovsky, 1999). However, the mentioned issue of the book includes the species Carcina homomorpha (Meyrick, 1931). It should be noted that the last species, described from Hokkaido, is a type of monotypic genus Heterodmeta Meyrick, 1931, which was treated as the junior synonym of Carcina Hübner, [1825] by Moriuti (1982). After a long period of oblivion, the syntypes of the L. luridella was studied and designation of the lectotype was made. As result, it was established that luridella is conspecific with homomorpha and the latter specific name was proposed to consider as junior synonym of the previous one (Lvovsky, 2001)."
