Double trouble: Invasive insect species overlooked as a result of a shared name

An invasive leaf-mining moth, feeding on cornelian cherry, has been gradually expanding into northern Europe under the cover of a taxonomic confusion for a period likely longer than 60 years. It has been sharing a name with another species. For the first time, a recent article properly distinguishes between the two insects and tries to reconstruct the invasion of the ‘true’ moth behind the name of Antispila treitschkiella.
