Thaumatotibia Zacher, 1915 View in CoL

Type species: Thaumatotibia roerigii Zacher, 1915 , a junior synynym of Argyroploce leucotreta Meyrick, 1913 .

Thaumatotibia includes 17 described species ranging from the Oriental Region to South Africa and Madagascar ( Komai 1999, Brown 2005); most species are indigenous to the Afrotropical Region. Species assigned to Thaumatotibia were included in Cryptophlebia Walsingham, 1900 View in CoL until Komai (1999) distinguished the two genera. Based on morphology, Adamski and Brown (2001) suggested that Thaumatotibia is the sister to ( Cryptophlebia View in CoL + Pseudogalleria Ragonot, 1884 View in CoL )+ Gymnandrosoma Dyar, 1904 View in CoL .

Larvae of Thaumatotibia feed primarily in seeds and have been reported from a wide range of plant families, including Annonaceae View in CoL , Apocynaceae View in CoL , Bromeliaceae View in CoL , Capparaceae , Celastraceae View in CoL , Combretaceae View in CoL , Ebenaceae View in CoL , Fabaceae View in CoL , Malvaceae View in CoL , Oxalidaceae View in CoL , Rubiaceae View in CoL , Rutaceae View in CoL , Sapotaceae View in CoL , Solanaceae View in CoL , Sterculiaceae , and Theaceae ( Komai 1999) View in CoL . The majority of the reported host records for Thaumatotibia are for two species: T. leucotreta ( Meyrick, 1913) View in CoL , the false codling moth, and T. batrochopa (Meyrick, 1908) .
