Synonyms and other taxonomic changes

Was considered a distinct family (Cochylidae or Phaloniidae) prior to about 1985. (leptree.net)

BugGuide includes classifications proposed by Sabourin et al (2002) such as their new species and name combinations in the genus Aethes (see FUNET) that, as of January 2008, were missing from BugGuide's normal moth reference at All-Leps

Numbers

135 species in 13 genera in North America listed at All-Leps

Remarks

According to Bob Patterson: "It is very difficult to get 'expert opinion' beyond tribal assignments within the Cochylini." So for now it is OK to place images at this tribe level. - Mike Boone
