Pseudatemelia is a genus of gelechioid moths.[1][2]
Taxonomy[]
In the systematic layout used here, it is placed in the subfamily Amphisbatinae of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). Delimitation of Amphisbatinae versus the closely related Depressariinae and Oecophorinae is a major problem of Gelechioidea taxonomy and systematics, and some authors separate the former two as full-blown families (Amphisbatidae and Depressariidae), and/or include the Amphisbatinae in Depressariinae (or Depressariidae), or merge them in the Oecophorinae outright.[3]
Recent research has shown that this genus is one of those close to Lypusa, the type of the supposed Tineoidea family Lypusidae.[4]
Distribution[]
These moths are present in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in the Near East, and in North Africa.[5]
