Crossophora

Crossophora is a genus of gelechioid moths from eastern Australia.

All other supposed Crossophora were subsequently moved to other genera, but C. semiota was considered to be too distinct to be incorporated elsewhere.

The genus name is valid because it was published as part of a single-access key, and because the description of C. semiota was accompanied by a full description of the genus.

[1] The caterpillars of these moths feed on dead leaves of Eucalyptus, which they spin together with silk.
