Parornix is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae. The genus was raised by the German entomologist Arnold Spuler in 1910.
The genus Paronix comes from para, meaning alongside and ornix named after the genus Ornix Treitschke, 1833, which refers to ornis, a bird. The genus Ornix originally included a wide range of feathery-winged microlepidoptera in the Coleophoridae and the Gracillariidae. Ornix was an early synonym of the genus Coleophora as a number of moths were named after birds. The feathery-winged moths were later restricted to Paronix. [1]
