Meleonoma is a genus of moths in the family Autostichidae.
Meleonoma was established by Edward Meyrick in 1914, [2] who placed the genus in the family Oecophoridae. Subsequently, Clarke (1965) [3] listed the genus in the family Cosmopterigidae. Park & Park (2016) [4] attributed the genus to Lypusidae sensu Lvovsky (2015), although shortly after, Yin & Wang (2016a [5] & 2016b [6] ) placed the genus as incertae sedis within Gelechioidea and then in Oecophoridae, followed by Kitajima & Salamaki (2019) [7] when studying the Japanese species. Furthermore, Lvovsky (2015) synonymized the genus Acryptolechia (at that time placed in Cryptolechiinae of Depressariidae) with Meleonoma. More recently, Wang & Li (2020) [8] studied the molecular phylogeny of Gelechioidea, and found Meleonoma plus Phaulolechia formed a clade constituting the tribe Meleonomini, sister to Periacma + Irepacma + Epiracma , constituting the Periacmini, bringing both tribes together to form the subfamily Periacminae, in Autostichidae.
Most recently, there has been a flurry of publications on the genus: Yin & Cai (2019) [9] described two new species from Guangxi and Fujian provinces, China; Wang et al. (2020) [10] reviewed the genus, retained the placement in Meleonomini (Autostichidae, Periacminae) and provided a global checklist, including transferring 50 species from the moth genus Cryptolechia ; Zhu et al. (2020) [11] described 16 new species from Hainan Island, China; Yin et al. (2020) [12] described three new species from Yunnan province, China; lastly, Wang & Zhu (2020a [13] & 2020b [14] ) described a further 36 species from China.
(species groupings follow Wang et al., 2020 [10] and Wang & Zhu (2020a [13] & 2020b [14] )
sensu Wang et al., 2020, [10] i.e. current placement to genus is uncertain and may be revised
Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this.
This list contains species first discovered in Hong Kong, with the endemic species asterisked.
Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.
Issikiopteryx is a genus of moths in the family Lecithoceridae.
Scrobipalpa is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. Euscrobipalpa has sometimes been treated as a distinct subgenus, or even as a full genus, but is generally no longer recognised as valid, following Ponomarenko & Park (2007).
Agnoea flavifrontella is a species of gelechioid moths in the family Lypusidae.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Depressaria is a genus of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is the type genus of subfamily Depressariinae, which is often – particularly in older treatments – considered a distinct family Depressariidae or included in the Elachistidae, but actually seems to belong in the Oecophoridae.
Agnoea is a genus of butterflies in the moth family Lypusidae. There are more than 20 described species in Agnoea.
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.
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. Originally, this genus was named Automola, but this name properly refers to a fly genus in family Richardiidae.
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.
Pseudatemelia filiella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Staudinger in 1859. It is found in France, Spain and Portugal.
Promalactis is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae.
Acria 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.
Meleonoma crocomitra is a species in the moth family Autostichidae, found in Kanara, India.
Meleonoma facialis is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in China (Shaanxi).
Meleonoma malacognatha is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in China (Shaanxi).
Cryptolechia is a genus of moths in the family Depressariidae.
Paralypusa chinensis is a small moth in the family Lypusidae. It was found in eastern China in Zhejiang province.
