Introduction

[After Edwards 1996]
No modern study of the Australian Brachodidae is available. Species have been named primarily by Meyrick (1907) and Turner (1913, 1942). Heppner & Duckworth (1981) provided a review of the family with a complete listing of the world fauna. Their division of the family into two subfamilies (Brachodinae, Phycodinae) and their arrangement of the genera is followed here.
