Spulerina Vári, 1961: 181 . Type species: Ornix simploniella Fischer von R̂slerstamm, 1840, see also Nye & Fletcher (1991: 284).

Here we used the following characters as diagnostic for the Spulerina: (1) antennal scape with flap of scales; (2) valva with one short comb with spreading teeth on inner surface; (3) median sclerotization of the dorsocephalic apodeme of male abdominal segment VIII extending onto tergum.
