DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SUBFAMILY OF CASEBEARER MOTHS, OMPHALOPODINAE SUBFAM. N. (LEPIDOPTERA, COLEOPHORIDAE), BASED ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR GENETIC CHARACTERS
Based on a complex analysis of both morphological and molecular genetic methods, a new subfamily of casebearer moths, Omphalopodinae Anikin et Dyomin, subfam. n., is erected. Omphalopoda Falkovitsh, 1987, the type genus of this subfamily, is well characterized by a set of apomorphic morphological features and is clearly clustered between two genetically well differentiated groups of the family Coleophoridae, Tolleophorinae and Coleophorinae + Augasminae + Ischnophaninae + Metriotinae.
