In addition, the specific name interruptana was used in a list of tortrix moths by G.A.W. Herrich-Schäffer in 1848 already. But he did not provide a description then, thus the scientific name – later determined to refer to the same species as J.W. Zetterstedt's Grapholitha duplicana – was validly established by him only in 1851.[3]
