A number of genera have been described that show little evidence of monophyly and might render other genera paraphyletic. Kaila (1999) has performed a cladistic analysis of the Elachistidae. This analysis revealed several clearly monophyletic groups and the species formerly placed in their own genus Cosmiotes are clearly nested within a monophyletic Elachista. Thus, Kaila (1999) synonymized Cosmiotes with Elachista. Distribution The first record for Bayern has been published by Guggemoos et al. 2018.
