Synonymy:
  • clarki Clarke, 1951 (Corticivora) - MONA 1983: 3446
  • Taxonomic Notes: Corticivora clarki Clarke, 1951: the species in Corticivora are renumbered following the inferred treatment in Aarvik, et al. (2025:102). Based on molecular data showing that Corticivora was misplaced in the Grapholitini, having a greater affinity to Eucosmini, Hu et al. (2023:367) treated the tribal assignment as uncertain. Citing Hu et al., Aarvik, et al. transferred Corticivora piniana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) to the tribe Eucosmini stating, "We return the species to the end of Eucosmini after Rhyacionia and Clavigesta Obraztsov, 1946."
