Abstract

The genus Zizyphia hitherto considered in the family Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) is placed into the family Depressariidae (tribe Orophiini). This conclusion is substantiated by the peculiarities of the shape and venation of the wings, and the structure of the male genitalia studied in this genus for the first time.
