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