Phylogeny and taxonomy of the subfamily Dichomeridinae (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

M.G. Ponomarenko

Abstract. The relationships between genera within the subfamily Dichomeridinae are studied for the first time. A cladogram based on 65 analysed characters for genera of the Palaearctic fauna is given. The presumed hypothetical ancestor is reconstructed. Evolutionary changes of genital sclerites and other structures are discussed. The taxonomic composition of the subfamily Dichomeridinae of the world is proposed.
