Coordinator notes: https://bugguide.net/node/view/45766 - "Formerly in Phlyctaenia, the Pyraloidea database now places this in Anania. It has been discovered that "Both molecular and morphological evidence establish that ‘Anania coronata’ is actually a complex of four species. Anania coronata is restricted to Europe, while three species are present in North America - Anania tertialis (Guenée, 1854) comb. nov., Anania plectilis (Grote & Robinson, 1867) comb. nov. and Anania tennesseensis sp. n.." We need to see if we can find out how to separate the three."
