for synonymy.
The genus
Ectoedemia
has been divided in five subgenera (
Van
Nieukerken 1986
): the two treated here,
Ectoedemia
s. str.
,
Zimmermannia
Hering, 1940
, further
Etainia
Beirne, 1945
,
Fomoria
Beirne, 1945 and
Laqueus
Scoble, 1983
. Th e latter, which is also preoccupied, has later been synonymised with
Fomoria
(
Van
Nieukerken 2008;
Puplesis 1994
). Preliminary molecular analyses (E.J. van Nieukerken, personal data) indicate that the monophyly of
Ectoedemia
in this wide sense is problematic in relation to
Parafomoria
Borkowski, 1975
and
Acalyptris
Meyrick, 1921
. However, in all analyses,
Ectoedemia
s. str.
and
Zimmermannia
remain closely related.
Diagnosis
.
The two subgenera here are recognised from other
Nepticulidae
by the collar comprising hairscales (lamellar scales in
Stigmella
and most
Bohemannia
), bifurcate Rs+M in hindwing (trifurcate in
Trifurcula
) and absence of uncus in the male genitalia. Males often have a hairpencil on the hindwing, forewing cilia line usually conspicuous.
