Phylogeny and System of Tortricidae (Lepidoptera)
Abstract:
The proposed system of the family level groups of Tortricidae is based chiefly on the structure of male genitalia and their musculature. The phylogeny of several groups can be explained by a study of the function of male genitalia. Examination of the remaining characters utilised to date showed their limited importance. Several taxa are synonymised or their status is lowered as no constant differences were found among them or the distinguishing characters proved insufficient. In the historical review only the most important data are included because they are to be found in the synonymies of the subfamilies, tribes and subtribes.
