Phylotranscriptomics resolves phylogeny of the Heliozelidae (Adeloidea: Lepidoptera) and suggests a Late Cretaceous origin in Australia

Heliozelidae are a cosmopolitan family of small, day‐flying moths, and include some pest species of commercial crops. Overall, the family is poorly known and lacks a well‐resolved phylogeny. Previous molecular and taxonomic work has revealed rich undescribed diversity within the family, particularly in Australia; however, the relationships amongst the major clades or genera were not resolved. We sequenced the transcriptomes of 39 taxa,...
