Merge proposal on 1 October 2021 edit
The merge proposal I made in October was recently closed with the remark "no case made, and no support over many months. Seems to be different moths with the same common name" Ok no case made I can admit, but the case is so evident that I thought that no closer explanation was needed. I will submit a number of references to support the case below.
No support, sure, but no objections either. That rather show the poor interest in this type of pages
"Seems to be different moths with the same common name." That is a somewhat strange conclusion. Species within the same order sharing common name is unusual. I do not know of any cases at all but that does not mean that there isn't any.
Links to pages supporting the species as synonyms or as “other combinations”:
- Leucania obsoleta (Hübner, [1803]) in www.lepiforum.de
- Obsoleta in The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (Natural History Museum)
- Mythimna obsoleta (Hübner, 1803) in GBIF
