Incorrect records of a moth “Cnephasia” incessana (Walker, 1863)

[EstebanMH-SiB]

This page of records from New Zealand (Auckland Museum) purporting to be of the European tortricid moth Cnephasia incanana in fact belong to the endemic NZ species “Cnephasia” incessana (Walker, 1863), as originally submitted. The name has somehow been “normalized” but this is in error.
