Taxonomy
editThe name Ancylosis pectinatella is preoccupied by the species described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1887. This means the species described by de Joannis needs to be renamed, but no replacement name has yet been given.
The wingspan of this species is 23 mm. Its larvae had been found in February on sugar-apples (Annona squamosa).[2]
