Cameraria is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae, which includes many species of leaf miners. One of the best known species is the horse-chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella.
The horse-chestnut leaf miner is a leaf-mining moth of the family Gracillariidae. The horse-chestnut leaf miner was first observed in North Macedonia in 1984, and was described as a new species in 1986. Its larvae are leaf miners on the common horse-chestnut. The horse-chestnut leafminer was first collected and inadvertently pressed in herbarium sheets by the botanist Theodor von Heldreich in central Greece in 1879.
Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, Cameraria ohridella.
Ectoedemia is a genus of moths in the family Nepticulidae. It consists of the subgenera Ectoedemia, Etainia, Fomoria and Zimmermannia. This genus was established by August Busck in 1907.
Tischeria is a genus of moths in the family Tischeriidae. The genus Coptotriche was long treated as a synonym of Tischeria, but is now considered distinct.
Stigmella is a genus of moths of the family Nepticulidae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Elachista is a genus of gelechioid moths described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1833. It is the type genus of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae). This family is sometimes circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to Oecophora than to Elachista and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here.
Phyllonorycter is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Cremastobombycia is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Hyloconis is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae. The type species is Hyloconis puerariae.

Acrocercops is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Parectopa is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Lithocolletinae is a subfamily of insects in the moth family Gracillariidae. It is distributed worldwide, with most species in temperate regions.
Astrotischeria is a genus of moths in the family Tischeriidae. It was described by Puplesis and Diškus in 2003.
