Abstract

The genus Naryciodes was originally proposed as a monobasic genus (type species: Naryciodes posticalis Matsumura) by Matsumura (1931) in Tineidae. About fifty years later, the genus was transferred to Limacodidae by Inoue (1982) because the larvae possess an autapomorphic character of Limacodidae: the lack of crochets on the prolegs (Epstein et al. 1999).
