Application of Molecular Methods in Systematics Casebearer Moths (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae)

Abstract

Discussed suprageneric system casebearer moths from a study of the nucleotide sequence of the gene first subunit of cytochrome c oxidase (COI). Confirmed the monophyly of the family and the availability sister Coleophoridae groups – family Batracherdridae, which are discussed in the rank of individual families. The proposed scheme, in general, supports the families of moths casebearer with selected earlier suprageneric taxa domestic and foreign experts, lepidopterist [1–5] based on morphological characteristics and features of these trophic caterpillars of moths.
