Holcopogon is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is the type genus of the subfamily Holcopogoninae, which is mostly placed within the concealer moth family Autostichidae.[1]
The type species was designated as H. helveolellus, but this turned out to be a junior synonym of H. bubulcellus. Some authors have thus erroneously assumed the latter taxon to be the genus' type. Cyrnia is sometimes listed as a distinct genus, but its type species (Cyrnia barbata) is generally assumed to be another junior synonym of H. bubulcellus. Thus, Cyrnia is a junior subjective synonym of Holcopogon.[2]
The species of Holcopogon are:[3]
- Holcopogon bubulcellus (Staudinger, 1859)
- Holcopogon cinerascens Turati, 1926
- Holcopogon croesus Gozmány, 2000
- Holcopogon glaserorum Gozmany, 1985
- Holcopogon robustus (Butler, 1883)
- Holcopogon scaeocentra Meyrick, 1921
- Holcopogon tucki Vives Moreno, 1999
