Subfamily: Olethreutinae
Tribe: Lobesiini (1G 5S)
Genus Lobesia was formerly included in Tribe: Olethreutini and was considered with the 'Olethreutidii' of Pierce and Metcalfe, characterised by the signa as 2 scobinate patches, though sometimes absent; the ostium is strong with a large plate. In the male: valvae long; uncus developed, weak; socii large, drooping. I have yet to establish the reason for placing Lobesia in a separate tribe
