The phylogeny of the New Zealand hepialid moths was estimated from a 527-bp nucleotide sequence from the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I and II gene regions. New haplotypes were identified for Wiseana cervinata, W. copularis, and W. signata. Phylogenetic reconstructions using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods indicated that the four hepialid lineages Aenetus, Aoraia, "Oxycanus" Cladoxycanus, and "Oxycanus" s. str. hypothesized by Dugdale (1994) based on a morphological taxonomic revision were monophyletic within New Zealand. Addition of exemplars from the Australian genera Fraus, Jeana, Oxycanus, and Trictena to the data set tentatively support the monophyly of the New Zealand "Oxycanus" lineages. Estimated times of divergence for the genus Wiseana taxa fitted well with known geological events and suggest that the genus may have diverged 1-1.5 mya.
通过线粒体DNA细胞色素氧化酶亚基I和II基因区域的527个碱基对核苷酸序列，估算了新西兰蝙蝠蛾科蛾类的系统发育。已鉴定出怀氏蝙蝠蛾、交配蝙蝠蛾和有斑蝙蝠蛾的新单倍型。使用最大简约法和最大似然法进行的系统发育重建表明，根据形态分类修订，达格代尔（1994年）假设的四个蝙蝠蛾科谱系，即Aenetus、Aoraia、“Oxycanus” Cladoxycanus和“Oxycanus”狭义种，在新西兰境内是单系的。将澳大利亚属Fraus、Jeana、Oxycanus和Trictena的样本添加到数据集中，初步支持了新西兰“Oxycanus”谱系的单系性。怀氏蝙蝠蛾属分类群的估计分化时间与已知地质事件吻合良好，表明该属可能在100万至150万年前分化。
