Archinemapogon

Archinemapogon is a somewhat disputed genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae.

It is apparently an extremely close relative of the type genus of its subfamily, Nemapogon, and some authors include it there.

[1] Its type species is called A. yildizae today, but that name was not established until 1981.

Formerly, this moth was known as A. laterella – originally placed in Tinea –, as well as T. picarella and A./T.

Clerck a T. picarella as early as 1759 (now Nemapogon picarella), and F. von P. Schrank a T. arcuatella in 1802 (probably a junior synonym of the arctiid moth Dysauxes ancilla).
