Epinotia

Epinotia is a very large genus of tortrix moths (family Tortricidae). It belongs to the tribe Eucosmini of subfamily Olethreutinae.

Species
166 species of Epinotia were considered valid as of 2009. Though many tortrix moth genera are fairly comprehensively studied, with little other than cryptic species complexes remaining undiscovered, distinct new species of Epinotia are being described every few years or so. With such a large and insufficiently known taxon, it is of course possible that the group may not be monophyletic as circumscribed here:

Synonyms
In particular during the early to mid-19th century, when little of the diversity of Epinotia was known, it was split into many smaller genera. Today however, these are generally – but not universally, e.g. regarding the supposedly monotypic Griselda, or Catastega which is here considered separate but included in Epinotia elsewhere – included here again at least pending a thorough taxonomic review. Now-invalid scientific names (junior synonyms and others) of Epinotia are:


 * Acalla Hübner, [1825]
 * Astatia Hübner, 1825
 * Asthenia Hübner, 1825
 * Cartella Stephens, 1852
 * Ccalla (lapsus)
 * Curtella (lapsus)
 * Epinotis (lapsus)
 * Evertia (lapsus)
 * Evetria Hübner, 1825
 * Griselda Heinrich, 1923
 * Hamuligera Obraztsov, 1946
 * Hikagehamakia Oku, 1974
 * Hypermecia Guenée, 1845
 * Lithographia Stephens, 1852
 * Neurasthenia Pierce & Metcalf, 1922

 * Poecilochroma Stephens, 1829
 * Proteopteryx Walsingham, 1879
 * Steganoptera (lapsus)
 * Steganoptica (lapsus)
 * Steganoptycha Stephens, 1834

Halonota has also been listed as junior synonym of Epinotia. But its type species Pyralis populana is today placed in Pammene, and thus Halonota is a junior subjective synonym of the latter genus.
