The genera and species now considered within Tribe: Cochylini include all the genera considered by Pierce and Metcalfe as "Phaloniadii" - characterised by female genitalia with large dentations covering the bursa copulatrix. The Phaloniadii included Sparganothis which is now placed in Tortricinae:Sparganothini.
Phtheochroa (4S)
3 of these species were formerly considered in a separate (now redundant) genus Hysterosia. These 3 species have a long, slender uncus which is completely absent in P.rugosana. Why these genera have been merged is a mystery to me.

Valva wide, curved; transtilla strongly developed; socii "flying"; aedeagus very strong, cornuti usually absent.
Pierce and Metcalfe treated A.tesserana/rutilana/cnicana/rubigana/margaritana in a separate genus Phalonia - characterised by "anellus very wide, cone-shaped; manica heavily spined; cornutus a slender spine" (I think the manica is the well-developed heavily spined portion of the anellus).
Ostium elaborate, bursa spined.
