This preliminary catalogue represents a significant step towards a comprehensive overview of the known Psychidae fauna of India. However, it also highlights the notable gaps in our knowledge. The number of species currently recorded from India is relatively low compared to previous data and other regions. Many literature records are based on morphological characters alone, and the taxonomic status of some species are uncertain. Molecular studies are needed to resolve taxonomic ambiguities and clarify phylogenetic relationships within the family. It is therefore important to emphasize that the present list is by no means exhaustive, and further research is needed to confirm the status of many of these species and to describe additional ones.
