Edward Meyrick FRS was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics.
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first. They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths", for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales. There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus Thambotricha from New Zealand may be the sister group of all other extant members. The most important genera are Epermenia, Ochromolopis and Gnathifera. The group has been extensively revised and catalogued by Dr Reinhard Gaedike.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,132 described species in 340 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Haplopseustis is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Haplopseustis erythrias, is found in Australia where it has been found in the Northern Territory and Queensland. Both the genus and species were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1902.
Heteralcis is a genus of moths in the family Lecithoceridae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1925.
Torodora is a genus of moths in the family Lecithoceridae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1894.
Sterrhinae is a large subfamily of geometer moths with some 3,000 described species, with more than half belonging to the taxonomically difficult, very diverse genera, Idaea and Scopula. This subfamily was described by Edward Meyrick in 1892. They are the most diverse in the tropics with the number of species decreasing with increasing latitude and elevation.
Edosa is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae.
The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.
Dryadaula are a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1893, and is the sole genus of the family.
Acentropinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. Species of this subfamily are exclusively found in wetlands and aquatic habitats.
Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths which was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854.
Helcystogramma arotraeum is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1894. It is known from Japan, Taiwan, China, Myanmar, Thailand, northeastern India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Cybalomiinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by Hubert Marion in 1955.
Dichomeris uranopis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1894. It is found in Myanmar.
Prasinoxena is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae. The genus was created by Edward Meyrick in 1894.
Prasinoxena astroteles is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1938. It was found on Java.

Heosphora is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae. The genus was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. The type species is Anerastia psamathella Meyrick, 1879, designated as such by George Hampson in 1901. All Heosphora species are found in Australia.
