Identification
Genitalia:
Range
Native to Asia; has been observed in Virginia and Georgia in the USA.
Remarks
Family assignment of this species is based on the Gelechioidea phylogeny of Heikkilä et al. (2014) (1), in which the congeneric Scythropiodes malivora was placed in Depressariidae. This placement is supported by Sohn et al. (2016) (2).
Wang & Li (2016) placed Scythropiodes in Oditinae which was in turn tentatively placed family Lecithoceridae, contradicting Heikkilä et al. (2013) due to differences in morphology.
