Abstract

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to suppress the little-used senior family-group name Epigraphiidae Guenée, 1845, in order to conserve the well-known family group name Depressariidae Meyrick, 1883 (both in Lepidoptera). Both the name Epigraphiidae and its derivatives have been seldom used, with about eleven known uses since 1900, in contrast to its junior synonym Depressariidae.
