“…Dr. Pflug was a dealer resident in the Danish West Indies who sent material do Fabricius (Horn and Kahle (1935–37). Zimsen (1964: 576) listed P. griseana but did not mention any type-material, whereas Baixeras and Karlsholt (2011: 30) mentioned the existence of one type-specimen.…”

Pyralis griseana Fabricius, 1794 was described from an unspecified number of specimens from "America meridionalis insulis," which we now understand to mean the Virgin Islands, especially St. Thomas (Zimsen 1964). Stenoma griseanum Zeller, 1839, was described from a series of four specimens from "America", presumably from Brazil. In the original description Zeller added a note, with a question mark "?Stenoma griseanum Fabricius." This citation, repeated by Zeller (1854: 391) has been the origin of much confusion as all subsequent authors (Walsingham and Durrant 1896;Walsingham 1897 Walsingham , 1912Busck 1934;Becker 1984) interpreted this as a redescription of Pyralis griseana, not the description of a different species. The uncertainty persisted based on two further facts: the type material of Pyralis griseana was considered either lost or destroyed (Zimsen 1964) and, secondly, that Stenoma griseanum was never collected in the Caribbean (Walsingham 1897: 99, Duckworth 1969). Luckily the type specimen is not lost but still preserved in the Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen, Dennmark, which made it possible to establish its identity. The results of this search is the subject of this article. Materials and MethodsThis work is based on the type specimens of both species, on the material in the author's collection (VOB) and in the collections of other major museums (NHMUK, USNM, CMNH, IES), and on the pertinent literature. A synoptic collection, representing all the species, was taken to USNM and NHMUK and compared with the material deposited in these institutions. Genitalia were prepared following the methods described by Robinson (1976). Terms for morphological characters follow Hodges (1971).

In this study the aim was to resolve the taxonomy of several species of Argyria Hübner (Pyraloidea, Crambinae) with previously unrecognised morphological variation. By analysing the DNA barcode (COI-5P) in numerous specimens, the aim was to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships between species, to provide better evidence for synonymies, and to circumscribe their geographical distribution. Using an innovative DNA hybridisation capture protocol, the DNA barcode of the lectotype of Argyria lacteella (Fabricius, 1794) was partially recovered for comparison with the 229 DNA barcode sequences of Argyria specimens available in the Barcode of Life Datasystems, and this firmly establishes the identity of the species. The same protocol was used for the following type specimens: the Argyria abronalis (Walker, 1859) holotype, thus confirming the synonymy of this name with A. lacteella, the holotype of A. lusella (Zeller, 1863), syn. rev., the holotype of A. multifacta Dyar, 1914, syn. nov. newly synonymised with A. lacteella, and a specimen of Argyria diplomochalis Dyar, 1913, collected in 1992. In addition, nine specimens of A. lacteella, A. diplomochalis, A. centrifugens Dyar, 1914 and A. gonogramma Dyar, 1915, from North to South America were sampled using classical COI amplification and Sanger sequencing. Argyria gonogramma Dyar, described from Bermuda, is the name to be applied to the more widespread North American species formerly identified as A. lacteella. Following morphological study of its holotype, Argyria vestalis Butler, 1878, syn. nov. is also synonymised with A. lacteella. The name A. pusillalis Hübner, 1818, is considered a nomen dubium associated with A. gonogramma. The adult morphology is diagnosed and illustrated, and distributions are plotted for A. lacteella, A. diplomochalis, A. centrifugens, and A. gonogramma based on slightly more than 800 specimens. For the first time, DNA barcode sequences are provided for the Antillean A. diplomochalis. This work provides a modified, improved protocol for the efficient hybrid capture enrichment of DNA barcodes from 18th and 19th century type specimens in order to solve taxonomic issues in Lepidoptera.

Recent developments in museomics enable genetic information to be recovered from previously unusable collection specimens and thus to answer complex taxonomic questions. Here we apply museomics to a taxonomic problem involving several species ofArgyriaHubner (Pyraloidea, Crambinae), with previously unrecognized morphological variation. By analysing the DNA barcode (COI-5P) in numerous specimens, we aimed to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships between species, to provide better evidence for synonymies, and to circumscribe their geographical distribution. Using an innovative DNA hybridization capture protocol, we partially recovered the DNA barcode of the lectotype ofArgyria lacteella(Fabricius, 1794) for comparison with the 229 DNA barcode sequences ofArgyriaspecimens available in the Barcode of Life Datasystems, and this firmly establishes the identity of the species. The same protocol was used for the following type specimens: theArgyria abronalis(Walker, 1859) holotype, thus confirming the synonymy of this name withA. lacteella, the holotype ofA. lusella(Zeller, 1863),rev. syn., the holotype ofA. multifactaDyar, 1914,syn. n., newly synonymized withA. lacteella, and a specimen ofArgyria diplomochalisDyar, 1913, collected in 1992. A complementary sampling composed of nine specimens ofA. lacteella,A. diplomochalis,A. centrifugensDyar, 1914 andA. gonogrammaDyar, 1915, from North to South America, were integrated using classical COI amplification and Sanger sequencing.Argyria gonogrammaDyar, described from Bermuda, is the name to be applied to the more widespread North American species formerly identified asA. lacteella. Following morphological study of its holotype,Argyria vestalisButler, 1878,syn. n.is also synonymized withA. lacteella. The nameA. pusillalisHubner, 1818, is considered a nomen dubium associated withA. gonogramma. The adult morphology is diagnosed and illustrated, and distributions are plotted forA. lacteella,A. diplomochalis,A. centrifugens, andA. gonogrammabased on slightly more than 800 specimens. For the first time, DNA barcode sequences are provided for the AntilleanA. diplomochalis. Our work highlights the efficiency of the DNA hybrid capture enrichment method to retrieve DNA barcodes from 18th and 19th century type specimens in order to solve taxonomic issues in Lepidoptera.
