Thyraylia Walsingham, 1897 View in CoL

Type species: Conchylis bunteana Robinson, 1869

Thyraylia View in CoL [with its synonym Acornutia Obraztsov, 1944 View in CoL ; type species Cochylis nana (Haworth, 1811) View in CoL ] includes seven Nearctic species (including the one transferred herein) and one Holarctic species. Although Razowski (1960) treated it as a valid genus (as its junior synonym Acornutia View in CoL ), he later ( Razowski 1970, 1997, 2011) treated Acornutia View in CoL (which he considered a monotypic genus for the Holarctic species nana View in CoL ) as a synonym of Cochylis View in CoL . However, Thyraylia View in CoL has long been recognized as a valid genus in North America (e.g., Powell 1983, Pogue 1986, Brown 2005, Metzler & Brown 2014), and it currently includes the following species: bana ( Kearfott, 1907), bunteana (Robinson, 1869) , discana ( Kearfott, 1907), gunniana ( Busck, 1907), hollandana ( Kearfott, 1907), nana View in CoL , and voxcana ( Kearfott, 1907) ( Metzler & Brown 2014). Species of Thyraylia View in CoL are characterized by an elongate, somewhat upcurved, distally attenuate valva, a sacculus with a long, free distal tip near the middle of the venter of the valva, and a slender, curved, apically pointed phallus that lacks cornuti (e.g., Razowski 1997: figs. 87‒91). Phalonia wiscana Kearfott is herein transferred to Thyraylia View in CoL .
