Versuch der phylogenetischen Gliederung der Epermeniidae der Welt (Lepidoptera).

Abstract

A phylogenetic classification of the Epermeniidae of the world is given on the basis of an evaluation of their characteristics with regard to their significance for their relationships. It appeared that Cataplectica Walsingham, hitherto regarded as a genus, should be included in Epermenia Hübner as a subgenus. A new genus Gnathifera is established for the Australian species (with the exeption of cornutifera) which had formerly been classed with Ochromolopis Hübner.
