About Cryphia fraudatricula (Hübner)
According to Warren's 1914 description, Cryphia fraudatricula (Hübner) (originally cited as M. fraudatricula Hbn) has a forewing that is browner grey than that of Cryphia raptricula. Its lines are black with white edges, a reverse pattern from that of C. raptricula. The inner line is more vertically curved, connected to the outer line by a thick black streak on the sub-median fold, followed by a second black streak that lies beyond the outer line. Its stigmata are slightly darker than the base wing color, and the hindwing is dark grey. This species is widely distributed across Europe. The form ab. simulatricula Guen. is now recognized as the separate species Cryphia simulatricula (Guenée, 1852). Guenée first recorded this taxon from Florence, but Staudinger reported it from Castile and Aragon. This species is greyer than C. fraudatricula, and has a paler hindwing. Its original description closely matches that of andalusiae (Duponchel), which is now classified as Bryophila ravula. C. simulatricula is native to Southern Europe.
