Aphelia
Aphelia is a genus name with multiple unrelated applications across biological and non-biological domains. In zoology, Aphelia is a genus of tortricid moths (family Tortricidae, order Lepidoptera). In botany, Aphelia is a genus of monocot plants in the family Restionaceae (order Poales), with authority R.Br., 1810. The name also appears in astronomy as the plural of aphelion, referring to the points in solar orbits most distant from the Sun. This record addresses the biological taxa only; the astronomical usage is nomenclaturally coincidental.
