Advances in genomics enable the inclusion of historic collection specimens in phylogenetic analyses for the delimitation of natural groups. We capitalise on these developments to generate data from independent sources like mitochondrial genomes, morphology and bionomics. Using leaf-mining moths as model organisms, we address the evolutionary problems in the Australian biogeographical realm, from learning about the morphological traits and associated bionomics to revealing principles of the relationship between plants and insects based on genetic studies. We use museum specimens and mitochondrial genomics to associate century-old and often in bad condition primary type specimens with more recent accessions at the Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra, Australia, adding detailed morphological descriptions and bionomics like host records to otherwise relatively bare names. Genomic data yield well-resolved phylogenies, while morphology and bionomics improve visual evidence and practical biological knowledge. All three datasets fine-tune the taxonomy of the global Gracillariidae and the Australian members of the subfamily Ornixolinae in particular. In the present study, we demonstrated that some Australian species which were considered to belong to Ornixolinae in fact, should be classified as part of Acrocercopinae or Gracillariinae. We use holistic analyses to learn about species and species-group boundaries, assisting in species and higher taxa delimitation and classification.

基因组学的进展使得在系统发育分析中纳入历史馆藏标本以界定自然类群成为可能。我们利用这些进展，从线粒体基因组、形态学和生物生态学等独立来源生成数据。以潜叶蛾为模式生物，我们解决了澳大利亚生物地理区域的进化问题，从了解形态特征和相关生物生态学，到基于遗传学研究揭示植物与昆虫之间的关系原理。我们利用博物馆标本和线粒体基因组学，将澳大利亚堪培拉国家昆虫馆中百年历史且往往状况不佳的模式标本与近期采集的标本关联起来，为原本相对简略的名称增添详细的形态描述和生物生态学信息，如寄主记录。基因组数据产生了分辨率良好的系统发育树，而形态学和生物生态学则改善了直观证据和实际生物学知识。所有这三个数据集都对全球细蛾科，特别是澳大利亚Ornixolinae亚科成员的分类进行了微调。在本研究中，我们证明了一些在澳大利亚被认为属于Ornixolinae亚科的物种，实际上应归类为Acrocercopinae或Gracillariinae亚科的一部分。我们使用整体分析来了解物种和物种组边界，协助物种和高级分类单元的界定与分类。本文介绍的新内容：9个新属：Bridella De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Crotona De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Dondavisia De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Kallia De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Murwillumbah De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Ornica De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Polka De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Ponga De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属；Toowoomba De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick属，新属。38个新物种：Bridella doo De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Crotona kakadu De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Cuphodes calycanthae De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Cuphodes drypette De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Cuphodes leucoptera De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila auris De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila breynella De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila cairna De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila cornuta De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila crotonella，De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila djabu De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila glochidia De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila glochidiella De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila nix De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Diphtheroptila virosae De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Dondavisia digitata De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Epicephala breyniphaga De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Epicephala doddi De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick,新物种；Epicephala dunkensis De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Epicephala philippa De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Epicephala sydnea De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Epicephala xerocarpa，De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Gibbovalva lambertiae De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Gibbovalva lomatiae De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Kallia myopora De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Liocrobyla kuranda De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Liocrobyla pinnatae De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Parectopa acaciella De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Parectopa braidella De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Parectopa melanoxyla De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Polka commoni De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Polydema eubenangee De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Polydema macaranga De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Polydema mallota De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Polydema virgula De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Ponga pinna De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Stomphastis dhileepani De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种；Toowoomba toowoomba De Prins、Sruoga & Zwick，新物种。2个新的同物异名行为：Cyphosticha Meyrick，1907，同物异名 = Cuphodes Meyrick，1897；Conopomorpha heliopla (Meyrick, 1907)，同物异名 = Polysoma eumetalla (Meyrick, 1880)。14个新组合：Cuphodes acrolitha (Meyrick, 1908a)，组合新名（= Cyphosticha acrolitha）；Cuphodes albomarginata (Stainton, 1862)，组合新名（= Gracilaria albomarginata）；Cuphodes callimacha (Meyrick, 1920)，组合新名（= Acrocercops callimacha）；Cuphodes microta (Turner, 1894)，组合新名（= Gracillaria microta）；Cuphodes pandoxa (Turner, 1913)，组合新名（= Cyphosticha pandoxa）；Cuphodes pterocola (Meyrick, 1914b)，组合新名（= Cyphosticha pterocola）；Cuphodes pyrochroma (Turner, 1894)，组合新名（= Gracillaria pyrochroma）；Gibbovalva zaplaca (Meyrick, 1907)，组合新名（= Conopomorpha zaplaca）；Kallia murtfeldtella (Busck, 1904)，组合新名（= Gracillaria murtfeldtella）；Murwillumbah panconita (Turner, 1913)，组合新名（= Cyphosticha panconita）；Ornica australis (Turner, 1896)，组合新名（= Ornix australis）；Parectopa epimicta (Turner, 1913)，组合新名（= Acrocercops epimicta）；Polysoma heliopla (Meyrick, 1907)，组合新名（= Conopomorpha heliopla）；Toowoomba dialeuca (Turner, 1940)，组合新名（= Cyphosticha dialeuca）。新模式指定：Gracillaria heteropsis Lower，1894。19个选模式指定：Conopomorpha chionochtha Meyrick，1907；Conopomorpha habrodes Meyrick，1907；Conopomorpha zaplaca Meyrick，1907；Coriscium ochridorsellum Meyrick，1880；Cuphodes didymosticha Turner，1940；Cuphodes habrophanes Turner，1940；Cuphodes maculosa Turner，1940；Cyphosticha dialeuca Turner，1940；Epicephala colymbetella Meyrick，1880；Epicephala invita Meyrick，1912；Epicephala stephanephora Turner，1923；Epicephala zalosticha Turner，1940；Gracillaria albistriatella Turner，1894；Gracillaria cramerella Snellen，1904；Gracillaria mnesicala Meyrick，1880；Gracillaria pyrochroma Turner，1894；Ornix trigonophora Turner，1900；Phrixosceles lithographa Meyrick，1912；Ornix australis Turner，1896。澳大利亚新分布记录：Diphtheroptila oxyloga (Meyrick, 1928a)；Stomphastis labyrinthica (Meyrick, 1918)，Liocrobyla Meyrick，1916b，Polydema Vári，1961属。新寄主植物：柿科：Diospyros calycantha O.
