List of gelechiid genera: R
Within the Gelechiidae family, the genera that begin with the letter R form a distinct group of small moths. These moths vary in shape and life history but are typically plant feeders, with many species that mine leaves or bore into seeds. Scientists classify these R genera using characteristics of the wings, body, and genitalia, sometimes supported by DNA data. Because taxonomy changes as new research appears, the exact list of R genera can change over time.
