Summary

The authors examine relationships within theChrysoxenagroup of the tortricid tribe Euliini. They define 54 species among six genera:ChrysoxenaMeyrick;VulpoxenaBrown, new genus;ThoridiaBrown, new genus;DorithiaPowell;CuproxenaPowell and Brown, new genus; andBidorpitiaBrown, new genus. Using cladistic methods, the authors develop a phylogenetic hypothesis for the genera and species groups ofDorithiaandCuproxena. A systematic treatment of the included species provides appropriate generic assignment for several previously misplaced species and describes many taxa as new.
