The systematics, morphology, and distributions are summarized for the 91 species and 2 subspecies of New World Opostegidae. A phylogenetic analysis using the \“parsimony rachet\” in Winclada and based on 34 morphological characters for the seven currently recognized world genera indicates the monotypic Chilean genus, Notiopostega, to be the basal taxon. Monophyly of the Nepticuloidea (Nepticulidae + Opostegidae) is well supported by nine morphological synapomorphies. Several synapomorphies distinguish the Opostegidae from all other Lepidoptera. Principal among these are the presence of a single, spinose seta on the larval mandible, adult wing venation extremely reduced with all veins unbranched, frenulum lost in both sexes, antennal flagellomeres each typically with 3 sets of ascoid sensillae, and a pedunculate, typically elliptical, cucullar lobe bearing a well-developed pectinifer on the valva of the male genitalia. Larval biologies of only two New World species are known. Larvae of both species mine primarily the cambium layer in woody plant stems. Results from light trap sampling at the La Selva Biological Station in Heredia Province, Costa Rica, indicated that adult Opostegidae were much more abundant in canopy habitats compared with near-ground level. Four genera (Neopostega new genus, 5 species; Notiopostega Davis, 1 species; Opostegoides Kozlov, 1 species; and Pseudopostega Kozlov, 84 species and 2 subspecies) are recognized for the New World. One genus (Neopostega) and the following 68 species and 2 subspecies are described as new:Neopostega asymmetra, Neopostega distola, Neopostega falcata, Neopostega longispina, Neopostega petila, Pseudopostega acrodicra, Pseudopostega acuminate, Pseudopostega apotoma, Pseudopostega attenuate, Pseudopostega beckeri, Pseudopostega bicornuta, Pseudopostega bidorsalis, Pseudopostega brachybasis, Pseudopostega breviapicula, Pseudopostega brevifurcata, Pseudopostega brevivalva, Pseudopostega caulifurcata, Pseudopostega clavata, Pseudopostega colognatha, Pseudopostega concave, Pseudopostega conicula, Pseudopostega constricta, Pseudopostega contigua, Pseudopostega crassifurcata, Pseudopostega curtarama, Pseudopostega denticulate, Pseudopostega didyma, Pseudopostega diskusi, Pseudopostega divaricata, Pseudopostega dorsalis dorsalis, Pseudopostega dorsalis fasciata, Pseudopostega duplicate, Pseudopostega ecuadoriana, Pseudopostega ferruginea, Pseudopostega floridensis, Pseudopostega fumida, Pseudopostega galapagosae, Pseudopostega gracilis, Pseudopostega lateriplicata, Pseudopostega latiapicula, Pseudopostega latifurcata latifurcata, Pseudopostega latifurcata apoclina, Pseudopostega latisaccula, Pseudopostega lobata, Pseudopostega longifurcata, Pseudopostega longipedicella, Pseudopostega microacris, Pseudopostega mignonae, Pseudopostega monstruosa, Pseudopostega obtuse, Pseudopostega ovatula, Pseudopostega parakempella, Pseudopostega paraplicatella, Pseudopostega plicatella, Pseudopostega resimafurcata, Pseudopostega rotunda, Pseudopostega sectila, Pseudopostega serrata, Pseudopostega spatulata, Pseudopostega sublobata, Pseudopostega subtila, Pseudopostega suffuscula, Pseudopostega tanygnatha, Pseudopostega tenuifurcata, Pseudopostega texana, Pseudopostega triangularis, Pseudopostega truncate, Pseudopostega tucumanae, Pseudopostega turquinoensis, Pseudopostega uncinata

The genus Nepticula comprises about 60 species of minute moths. In general, the forewing is purple to black with a transverse, golden or silvery band. Because of this similarity of pattern, it is often impossible to identify many of the species in the adult stage. The larvae mine within the tissues of leaves, usually just beneath the upper epidermis, consuming the palisade layer of cells. Each of the species feeds in a characteristic manner. For example, N. rosaefoliella Clem. forms a serpentine mine usually along the edge of a rose leaf, and N. juglandifoliella Clem. forms a linear mine along a vein. The mine of an undescribed species on elm starts as a semi-serpentine track and abruptly enlarges into a viscera-like blotch; that of another undescribed species on willow terminates in an irregular blotch; and so on. Each species engraves its own symbolic characters, and whoever has learned to read the symbols can readily determine the species that made them.}, keywords = {Canada, leaf mines, Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae, Stigmella juglandifoliella, Stigmella rosaefoliella}, doi = {10.4039/Ent96111a-1}, author = {Freeman, T.

A taxonomic revision, including descriptions, diagnoses, and bibliographies, is given of the genera and species of the family Nepticulidae (Lepidoptera) so far collected in Canada. In addition, extensive material from the U.S.A. and a number of specimens from Europe have been examined. Five new species and two new subspecies are described. Notes on the biology of the species have been collated from rearing records, label data, and the relevant literature. With one exception all existing types have been examined and, in addition, a number of types designated. A major f\&$\#$39;eature of this work is a study of the genitalia of the moths never before undertaken extensively on the North American Nepticulidae. These structures give valuable diagnostic features and are of fundamental importance in the provision of modern descriptions and keys. As genitalia characters are thought to be the best taxonomic indicators of relationships between species in the Nepticulidae, the species-groups proposed have been mainly defined on these structures. The confusion over the nomenclature of the family name is discussed. Taxonomic histories of the genera are given and one generic synonymy is made. Taxonomic problems are discussed in relation to distribution and food-plant choice. The hostplant associations of the family are reviewed, with reference to the mining habits of the Iarvae. A priori use of host-plant data in the taxonomy of the Nepticulidae is found to be limited. However, the proposed species-groups illustrate a general conclusion that related species tend to feed on plants that are themselves taxonomically related.

The nearctic species of ltwo genera of leaf-mining microlepidoptera are here revised as a prelude to a revision of the North American Nepticulidae. The concept of Microcalyptris Braun is widened from what was known as a rnonotypic genus to one having eight species. Fomoria Beirne can no longer be regarded as solely Palaearctic for here the true relationship of twospecies is shown in their transfer from \"Nepticula\" von Heyden. Generic and species diagnoses, key, descriptions, and details of genitalia arc given where necessary.

The Nepticulidae form an early-radiating family of leaf-mining moths with tight associations with their angiosperm hosts. Around 850 named species in 10 genera form part of an unknown but much larger global diversity. The group offers insights into evolution between insects and host plants. Traditional methods to investigate their diversity and host plant relations require considerable human effort, an impediment further confounded by their extremely small body size (3-8 mm). DNA barcodes can speed up recognition of host plant relations, distribution, and taxonomy. Results:We built a barcode dataset of leaf-mining larvae and emerging adults from focused sampling in many parts of the world, study of museum specimens, and barcoding initiatives such as in Finland (www.finbol.org). We mined the Barcode of Life Datasystems (BOLD) for all barcoded specimens labeled with the family name, and additionally searched for closely-allied Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) lacking family-level taxonomy. We found almost 5500 barcoded specimens, representing 928 BINs and 890 species, of which more than 55\% are unnamed or unidentified. A large portion of the specimens (around 2500) originated from the massive Malaise trapping program at the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario. Most were initially identified only to the ordinal or family level. We use our data for estimating the unknown biodiversity of Nepticulidae, globally and per continent. For North America alone, our results suggest 40 unnamed species, confirm 12 species as Holarctic (including several newly recorded), and link previously unidentified host records to named adults.Significance:Barcoding mass-trapped specimens showed an unprecedented increase in our knowledge of distribution, host plant use, and invasiveness in an intractable and otherwise poorly known group. Such records, however, acquire scientific value only if validated by a solid barcode reference library that has been vetted by taxonomic expertise. We advocate combining large-scale biodiversity inventories with DNA barcoding.

A revision of the fifty-one species of the genus Stigmella from North America is presented. Thirty-one species are recorded only from the U.S.A., seventeen species and one subspecies from the U.S.A. and Canada and three species and one subspecies are known only from Canada. Five species are new: Stigmella inconspicuella (U.S.A., California); S. heteromelis (California); S. sclerostylota (Arkansas); S. longisacca (California) and S. plumosetaeella (Arizona). Life histories, mine characteristics and larval habits are given where known. These are collated from field study, material examined, breeding records and the literature. A list of host plants is also provided. A neotype is designated for Nepticula prunifoliella Clemens, previously considered to be possibly dipterous. Although most Stigmella species have different genital morphology, some pairs of species do not. In these pairs, however, external features and characteristics of the mine often differ - some pairs also differ in distribution or season. The taxonomic implications are discussed in the individual treatments - not all the problems, however, can be resolved without further rearing studies and collection. Species-groups have been designated on the basis of morphology. Some species are, however, structurally intermediate between species-groups and others may resemble Ectoedemia Busck in aspects of the male genitalia while their female genitalia, external features and venation are typical of Stigmella. }, keywords = {Canada, Lepidoptera, Nearctic, Nepticula apicialbella, Nepticula argentifasciella, Nepticula belfrageella, Nepticula bifasciella, Nepticula ceanothi, Nepticula cerea, Nepticula condaliafoliella, Nepticula diffasciae, Nepticula fuscocapitella, Nepticula gossypii, Nepticula latifasciella, Nepticula nigriverticella, Nepticula pallida, Nepticula prunifoliella, Nepticula purpuratella, Nepticula quercicastanella, Nepticula resplendensella, Nepticula rhamnicola, Nepticula rhoifoliella, Nepticula serotinaeella, Nepticula taeniola, Nepticula terminella, Nepticula tiliella, Nepticula unifasciella, Nepticula villosella, Nepticulidae, North America, Stigmella, Stigmella alba, Stigmella altella, Stigmella amelanchierella, Stigmella apicialbella, Stigmella argentifasciella, Stigmella aromella, Stigmella belfrageella, Stigmella braunella, Stigmella caryaefoliella, Stigmella castaneaefoliella, Stigmella ceanothi, Stigmella centifoliella, Stigmella cerea, Stigmella chalybeia, Stigmella condaliafoliella, Stigmella corylifoliella, Stigmella corylifoliella group, Stigmella crataegifoliella, Stigmella crataegifoliella group, Stigmella diffasciae, Stigmella exasperata, Stigmella flavipedella, Stigmella fuscotibiella, Stigmella fuscotibiella group, Stigmella gossypii, Stigmella heteromelis, Stigmella inconspicuella, Stigmella intermedia, Stigmella juglandifoliella, Stigmella latifasciella, Stigmella longisacca, Stigmella macrocarpae, Stigmella minimella, Stigmella minusculella, Stigmella myricafoliella, Stigmella nigriverticella, Stigmella obscurella, Stigmella opulifoliella, Stigmella ostryaefoliella, Stigmella pallida, Stigmella paludicola, Stigmella pectocatena, Stigmella plumosetaeella, Stigmella pomivorella, Stigmella populetorum, Stigmella procrastinella, Stigmella procrastinella group, Stigmella prunifoliella, Stigmella prunifoliella group, Stigmella purpuratella, Stigmella quercipulchella, Stigmella resplendensella, Stigmella rhamnicola, Stigmella rhoifoliella, Stigmella rosaefoliella, Stigmella rosaefoliella group, Stigmella saginella, Stigmella saginella group, Stigmella scinanella, Stigmella scintillans, Stigmella sclerostylota, Stigmella slingerlandella, Stigmella stigmaciella, Stigmella taeniola, Stigmella tiliella, Stigmella unifasciella, Stigmella variella, Stigmella villosella, Stigmella virginiella, Taxonomy, United States, USA}, url = {http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-3113.1982.tb00455.x/abstract}, author = {Newton, Philip J. and Wilkinson, Christopher} } @article {7421, title = {Exotic Microlepidoptera}, journal = {Exotic Microlepidoptera}, volume = {3}, number = {15}, year = {1928}, note = {Marlborough.}, month = {1928-12}, pages = {449-480}, keywords = {Canada, Ectoedemia, Ectoedemia bosquella, Ectoedemia chloranthis, Ectoedemia glycystrota, Ectoedemia obrutella, Fomoria, India, Lepidoptera, Nearctic, Nepticula alicia, Nepticula glycystrota, Nepticulidae, Oriental region, Stigmella, Stigmella alicia, Thailand, USA, Zimmermannia}, author = {Meyrick, E.} } @article {7414, title = {Exotic Microlepidoptera}, journal = {Exotic Microlepidoptera}, volume = {2}, number = {12}, year = {1920}, note = {Marlborough}, month = {1920-12}, pages = {353-384}, keywords = {Brazil, Canada, India, Opostega cretea, Opostega pexa, Opostega scioterma, Opostega subviolacea, Opostega velifera, Opostegidae, Opostegoides, Opostegoides scioterma, Pseudopostega, Pseudopostega cretea, Pseudopostega pexa, Pseudopostega subviolacea, Pseudopostega velifera}, url = {http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/37719$\#$page/406/mode/2up}, author = {Meyrick, E.} } @article {6038, title = {A supplement to the genus Ectoedemia Busck (Nepticulidae: Lepidoptera) in North America, dealing with some difficult species and also some new ones}, journal = {Tijdschrift Voor Entomologie}, volume = {124}, number = {3}, year = {1981}, month = {1981-07-20}, pages = {93-110}, abstract = {This article attempts to shed light on some nomenclatorial problems in Ectoedemia.
