Name

Ligia acutaria Herrich-Schäffer, [1852]

Type locality: USA, North Carolina, Carteret Co., Croatan Na- tional Forest, Sam Hatcher Road.

Neotype: USNM. male ♂. 23.IV.2006. legit J. Bolling Sullivan. BOLD barcode Sample ID: 06-NCCC-932. (neotype designated by Lafontaine & Sullivan 2015: 9).

CURRENT STATUS Doryodes bistrialis

Note:

Ligia acutaria is nominally described from southern Russia, although already in 1852 Herrich-Schäffer suspected it was mislabeled. The type is lost, so to ensure that the current synonymy is maintained, we designate the neotype of Agriphila bistrialis as Neotype of Ligia acutaria also.
