The genus Simplimorpha Scoble is recognized for the first time from South America. We describe a subgenus, Myrtinepticula Stonis Diškus, subgen. nov., for three new species from the southern Andes (Chile and Argentina): Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) cercaria Diškus Stonis, sp. nov., S. (M.) nielseni Remeikis Stonis, sp. nov., S. (M.) sapphirella Remeikis Stonis, sp. nov.; and one new species from the southwestern Amazon (Peru): S. (M.) kailai Stonis, sp. nov. We provide a pictorial differentiation scheme for Simplimorpha Scoble and Pectinivalva Scoble. We synonymize the recently erected, predominantly Australian Menurella Hoare, syn. nov. and Cosanovula Hoare, syn. nov. with Pectinivalva Scoble. We also revise the taxonomic status of the Australian Roscidotoga Hoare as a subgenus of Simplimorpha which now exhibits a Gondwanan distribution in the Southern Hemisphere, with the presence of a single species in the Mediterranean. All new taxa are illustrated with photographs of the adults and the genitalia; the leaf mines of Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) nielseni sp. nov. are also provided.
南美首次发现了Simplimorpha Scoble属。我们描述了一个新亚属，Myrtinepticula Stonis Diškus，亚属新名，包含来自安第斯山脉南部（智利和阿根廷）的三个新物种：Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) cercaria Diškus Stonis，新种，S. (M.) nielseni Remeikis Stonis，新种，S. (M.) sapphirella Remeikis Stonis，新种；以及来自亚马逊西南部（秘鲁）的一个新物种：S. (M.) kailai Stonis，新种。我们提供了Simplimorpha Scoble和Pectinivalva Scoble的图像鉴别方案。我们将最近新建立的、主要分布在澳大利亚的Menurella Hoare，新异名，和Cosanovula Hoare，新异名，归为Pectinivalva Scoble的同物异名。我们还将澳大利亚的Roscidotoga Hoare的分类地位修订为Simplimorpha的一个亚属，该属现在在南半球呈现冈瓦纳分布，在地中海有一个单一物种。所有新分类单元都配有成虫和生殖器的照片；还提供了Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) nielseni新种的虫瘿照片。
