Autosticha is a genus of gelechioid moths. It belongs to the subfamily Autostichinae, which is either placed in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae. It is the type genus of its subfamily (and the Autostichidae). Originally, this genus was named Automola, but this name properly refers to a fly genus in family Richardiidae. [1]

Contents

Typically, these moths have the second and third forewing vein emerging from a common stalk. The labial palps are characteristically tapering from the second segment onwards and end in a pointed tip. [2]

Several originally independent genera are now included here, and while most of them are probably not even valid as subgenera, some species included in Autosticha have been historically assigned to entirely different Gelechioidea lineages, such as the long-horned moths (Lecithoceridae) or the Xyloryctidae. [3]

Species

Species of Autosticha are: [4]

Some of these might belong in other genera of Autostichinae, such as the supposedly monotypic Stoeberhinus .

<i>Hypatima</i> Genus of moths

Hypatima is a genus of the twirler moth family (Gelechiidae). Among these, it belongs to a distinct lineage, which is variously treated as tribe Chelariini in subfamilies Dichomeridinae, Gelechiinae, or even Pexicopiinae, and historically was considered a subfamily in its own right, Chelariinae. Of this lineage, Hypatima – under its junior synonym Chelaria – is the type genus. This genus has numerous species, but its exact limits are not quite clear. This genus occurs mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, though one of the better-known species is the only member of this genus native to Europe, the lobster-clawed moth.

Monopis is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the nominate subfamily, Tineinae.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Autostichinae</span> Subfamily of moths

The Autostichinae are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. The present lineage was often included in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), but alternatively it is united with the Symmocidae sensu stricto to form an expanded family Autostichidae.

<i>Stoeberhinus testaceus</i> Species of moth

Stoeberhinus testaceus, the potato moth, is a gelechioid moth, supposedly the only species of its genus Stoeberhinus. However, the genus might also include some related moths presently placed in Autosticha. It belongs to the subfamily Autostichinae, which is either placed in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae.

<i>Agonopterix</i> Genus of moths

Agonopterix is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is placed in the family Depressariidae, which was often – particularly in older treatments – considered a subfamily of the Oecophoridae or included in the Elachistidae.

<i>Exaeretia</i> Genus of moths

Exaeretia is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is placed in the family Depressariidae, which is often – particularly in older treatments – considered a subfamily of Oecophoridae or included in the Elachistidae.
