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 ecozone, in the Near East and in North Africa.[5]

Species

Two subgenera are recognized. Species of Pseudatemelia include:[6][7]

gollark: No idea. `ip r list ff02::aeae` doesn't say anything at all about it, but that is also the case for some *working* addresses on the LAN.
gollark: * in one of them
gollark: I'm trying to send packets to `ff02::aeae` port 44718, which is *meant* to be one of the multicast IP ranges for service discovery and stuff.
gollark: It's a multicast thing, it *should*, if I understood the specs right, just go to everything on the same LAN.
gollark: Well, I have no idea *what's* going on with this.
