Symmocinae
Symmocinae is a subfamily of small moths within the family Autostichidae (superfamily Gelechioidea). The group has undergone repeated taxonomic reclassification, having been treated historically as a tribe within Blastobasidae, as a separate family Symmocidae, or united with Holcopogonidae. Modern molecular and morphological evidence supports its current placement within Autostichidae, though some authorities recognize it as a distinct family pending further phylogenetic study. The subfamily is primarily distributed across the Palearctic region and Africa.
