Hierodoris is a genus of moths in the family Oecophoridae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1912. ^[2] This genus is only known from New Zealand. ^[1] In 1988 the genus Taoscelis was synonymised with Hierodoris. ^{[1] [3]} In 2005 the genus Coridomorpha was synonymised with Hierodoris. ^[1] It is alternatively placed in the family Xyloryctidae after Kaila, 2013, ^[4] supported by Heikkilä et al. 2014. ^[5]

Species

The species that are currently placed in this genus are: ^[1]

• Hierodoris atychioides (Butler, 1877)
• Hierodoris bilineata (Salmon, 1948)
• Hierodoris callispora (Meyrick, 1912)
• Hierodoris electrica (Meyrick, 1889)
• Hierodoris eremita Philpott, 1930
• Hierodoris extensilis Hoare, 2012
• Hierodoris frigida Philpott, 1923
• Hierodoris gerontion Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris huia Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris illita (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875)
• Hierodoris insignis Philpott, 1926
• Hierodoris iophanes Meyrick, 1912
• Hierodoris pachystegiae Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris polita Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris sesioides Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris s-fractum Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris squamea (Philpott, 1915)

• Hierodoris stellata Philpott, 1918
• Hierodoris torrida Hoare, 2005
• Hierodoris tygris Hoare, 2005

However as at 2005 the placement of both Hierodoris insignis andHierodoris stellata in this genus is in doubt. ^[1]
