Genus Ectoedemia Busck View in CoL View at ENA

Ectoedemia Busck, 1907: 97 View in CoL . Type species Ectoedemia populella Busck, 1907: 98 View in CoL by original designation and monotypy; see Van Nieukerken 1986: 75 for synonymy.

The genus Ectoedemia View in CoL has been divided in five subgenera (Van Nieukerken 1986): the two treated here, Ectoedemia View in CoL s. str., Zimmermannia Hering, 1940 , further Etainia Beirne, 1945 View in CoL , Fomoria Beirne, 1945 and Laqueus Scoble, 1983 View in CoL . 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 View in CoL in this wide sense is problematic in relation to Parafomoria Borkowski, 1975 View in CoL and Acalyptris Meyrick, 1921 View in CoL . However, in all analyses, Ectoedemia View in CoL 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.
