Hierodoris

Hierodoris is a genus of moths in the family Oecophoridae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1912.^[2] This genus is only known from New Zealand.^[1] In 1988 the genus Taoscelis was synonymised with Hierodoris.^[1][3] In 2005 the genus Coridomorpha was synonymised with Hierodoris.^[1] It is alternatively placed in the family Xyloryctidae after Kaila, 2013,^[4] supported by Heikkilä et al. 2014.^[5]
