Dolichomia Explained

Dolichomia is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1891. It is mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia^[1] or Herculia, which in turn is also mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia. Others sources retain it as a valid genus however.^[2]
