Moths of the genus <i>Emphylica</i> Turner, 1913 resemble species of <i>Achyra</i> Guenée, 1849, <i>Loxostege</i> Hübner, 1825 and <i>Sitochroa</i> Hübner, 1825 in having a conical frons. In order to examine the monophyly of <i>Emphylica</i>, and its relationship to other genera with a conical frons, a molecular phylogenetic framework is reconstructed based on sequence data of COI, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA, EF-1α and Wg gene regions. The results robustly support the monophyly of <i>Emphylica</i>. <i>A ...[more]
