Elachistidae family of insects

The Elachistidae are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths.

Lecithoceridae family of insects

The Lecithoceridae, or long-horned moths, are a family of small moths described by Simon Le Marchand in 1947. Although lecithocerids are found throughout the world, the great majority are found in the Indomalayan realm and the southern part of the Palaearctic realm.

Archipini tribe of insects

The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.

<i>Dichomeris</i> Genus of moths

Dichomeris is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.

<i>Scoparia</i> (moth) genus of insects

Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.

Brachycyttara is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Brachycyttara crypsipyrrha, the cryptiv crest, is found in the Australian states of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Both the genus and the species were first described by Turner in 1833.

Corethrobela is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae. Its only species, Corethrobela melanophaes, is known from the Australian state of Queensland. Both the genus and the species were first described by Turner in 1908.

Lophozancla is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Lophozancla prolixa, is found in Australia's Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Both the genus and the species were first described by Turner in 1932.

Orthozancla is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Orthozancla rhythmotypa, is found in the Australian state of Queensland. Both the genus and species were first described by Turner in 1933.

<i>Iropoca</i> genus of insects

Iropoca is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Lymantriinae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1904. Its only species, Iropoca rotundata, the iropoca moth, was first described by Francis Walker in 1855. It is found in the Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

<i>Ectropis</i> Genus of insects

Ectropis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). They are mostly paleotropical, but also plentiful in Australia and extend into Asia. Only one species – or cryptic species complex – is found in Europe. There are about 100 known species in this genus.

<i>Scotocyma</i> Genus of insects

Scotocyma is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Turner in 1904. All the species in this genus are found in Australia.

Lecithocera is a genus of moths in the lecithocerid subfamily Lecithocerinae. The genus was erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1853.

Depressariinae subfamily of insects

The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.

Oenochrominae is a subfamily of the moth family Geometridae.

<i>Epicephala</i> genus of insects

Epicephala is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
