Aristotelia Hübner View in CoL , [1825]

Type-species: [ Tinea ] decurtella Hübner, [1813]; by monotypy.

Aristotelia is closest to Caulastrocecis , but it can be distinguished from the latter by a well developed sacculus that is separated from the cucullus, the absence of a frontal process, and the absence of pecten scales on the scape, the latter of which are characteristic of Caulastrocecis .

About 30 species are known from the Palaearctic region; 35 from the Nearctic region ( Lee et al. 2009); at least 50 from the Neotropical region ( Becker 1984); about 10 from the Afrotropical region (Vári at al. 2002); at least 20 from the Oriental region; and nearly 20 from Australia (Edwards 1996). Larvae have been recorded on Apiaceae , Ericaceae , Empetraceae , Lythraceae , Lamiaceae , Scrophulariaceae , Fabaceae , Plumbaginaceae .
