Résumé :
The species formerly known as Scrobipalpa pauperella (Heinemann, 1870) is hereby revised to Scrobipalpa freyii (Scott, 1859). An account is given of the discovery in the British Isles of the larva mining the leaves of Centaurea scabiosa L. (Asteraceae). The larva, pupa, adult and genitalia of both sexes are compared with those of Scrobipalpa acuminatella (Sircom, 1850). Images are provided of both species.
