As of 2007, 69 species of Nemapogon had been described. New ones are still being discovered on a regular basis:[2]

Synonyms

Junior synonyms of Nemapogon are:[3]

  • Anemapogon Zaguljaev, 1963
  • "Brosis" Hübner, 1806 (suppressed name)
  • Brosis Hübner, 1822 (non Billberg, 1820: preoccupied)
  • Diaphthirusa Hübner, [1825]
  • Longiductus Zaguljaev, 1964
  • Nematopogon Agassiz, 1847 (unjustified emendation; non Zeller, 1839: preoccupied)
  • Paranemapogon Zaguljaev, 1964
  • Petalographis Zaguljaev,1962

The genus name Brosis was first proposed by J. Hübner in 1806, but in a book – the famous Tentamen determinsationis ("Preliminary examination") – that was essentially an immense discussion paper and not a valid work of zoological nomenclature. When Hübner came to validly erect the genus in his 1822 genus list (Systematisch-alphabetisches Verzeichnis), it had already been used by G.J. Billberg for what is nowadays considered the Incurvariidae genus Incurvaria.[4]
