https://www.gbif.org/species/8581601 =Cirrhia icteritia (Hufnagel, 1766) [doubtful]

https://www.gbif.org/species/1771678 = Xanthia icteritia Hufnagel, 1766

These two names refer to the same species.

No comment on which genus name is the correct one, this group isn't my speciality. Our local NorthWestern European checklists use Cirrhia.
