Sohn, Jae-Cheon, Kobayashi, Shigeki & Yoshiyasu, Yutaka, 2020, Beyond Wallace: a new lineage of Chrysorthenches (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutoidea: Glyphipterigidae) reveals a journey tracking its host-plants, Podocarpus (Pinopsida: Podocarpaceae), Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 190, pp. 709-736 : 713

Host-plants: Podocarpaceae – Podocarpus .

Remarks: Chrysorthenches callibrya ( Turner, 1923) , the focal species of C. callibrya species-group, was originally associated with an Australian genus Diathryptica . This species was compared with the type species of Diathryptica , D. proterva Meyrick, 1907 and both species showed several differences in generic level. Further, C. callibrya shares five characters with Chrysorthenches and they include the presence of a chorda on the forewing; the male genitalia without the gnathos and socii and with the valva divided into a proximal and a distal piece; the male pleural lobes fused dorsally; and the trophic association with conifers. Our COI phylogeny also agrees a separation of C. callibrya from Diathryptica (Supporting Information, Fig. S1).
