Genus of moths
Autosticha genus of gelechioid moths . It belongs to the subfamily Autostichinae , which is either placed in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae . It is the type genus of its subfamily (and the Autostichidae). Originally, this genus was named Automola a fly genus in family Richardiidae .[ 1]
Typically, these moths have the second and third forewing vein emerging from a common stalk. The labial palps are characteristically tapering from the second segment onwards and end in a pointed tip.[ 2]
Several originally independent genera are now included here, and while most of them are probably not even valid as subgenera , some species included in Autosticha have been historically assigned to entirely different Gelechioidea lineages, such as the long-horned moths (Lecithoceridae) or the Xyloryctidae .[ 3]
