Abstract
We report the first discovery since the 1970s of a new extant family (
A
enigmatineidae
fam.n.
) of homoneurous moths, based on the small
Aenigmatinea glatzella
sp.n
. from
K
angaroo
I
sland off southern
A
ustralia. It exhibits a combination of extraordinary anatomical characters, and, unlike most homoneurous moths, its larva is a conifer‐feeder (stem mining in
Callitris
,
C
upressaceae). While the adult's mouthparts are strongly regressed, evidence from other morphological characters and from a
B
ayesian analysis of 25 genetic loci convincingly places the taxon among
G
lossata (‘tongue moths’). An unexpected tongue moth clade including
A
canthopteroctetidae and
N
eopseustidae, suggested with low support in recent molecular analyses, remarkably becomes strongly supported when
Aenigmatinea
is included in the molecular analysis; the new taxon becomes subordinated in that clade (as sister group to
N
eopseustidae) and the clade itself appears as the sister group of all
H
eteroneura, representing the vast majority of all
L
epidoptera. Including
Aenigmatinea
into the analysis thereby strengthens the surprising indication of non‐monophyly of
M
yoglossata, and the new phylogeny requires an additional number of
ad hoc
assumptions of convergence/character reversals in early
L
epidoptera evolution.
