Taxonomic history & placement

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Oecophoridae</span> Family of moths

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.
