	Moths of Borneo (Part 8) Castniidae, Callidulidae, Drepanidae & Uraniidae - Books - Travel Centre - www.wildasia.net
		The Castniidae could perhaps more appropriately be assigned to one of the first two parts, covering the Cossoidea and Zygaenoidea to which they are probably most closely related within the Apoditrysia (Minet, 1991).
		The lack of knowledge and indeed the very scarcity of the Castniidae in the Oriental Region has prompted their treatment in this part to alert naturalists in South East Asia to this lacuna in the hope that fresh observations can be made and the ecological requirements of the group revealed.
		On biogeographic grounds, treatment of the Castniidae in this part enables their distribution to be contrasted with a number of other biogeographically interesting groups (Holloway & Hall, 1998), particularly the Callidulidae, a family that is probably also essentially Gondwanan but involving affinities across the Indian Ocean rather than through Australia and Antarctica to South America.

		Skeleto-muscular morphology of the pterothorax and male genitalia of Synemon plana Walker (Castniidae) and Brachodes appendiculata (Esper) (Brachodidae), with notes on phylogenetic relationships of tortricoid-grade moth families (Lepidoptera)
		The skeleton and musculature of the meso- and metathorax as well as of the male genitalia of Synemon planaWalker (Castniidae) and Brachodes appendiculata (Esper) (Brachodidae) are described, illustrated and compared with corresponding structures earlier described from the Cossidae, Choreutidae, Zygaenidae, Limacodidae and Sesiidae.
		Our findings supported the monophyly of a group composed of three families (Brachodidae, Sesiidae and Castniidae) constituting the superfamily Sesioidea sensu Minet, and hence indicated that the Choreutidae are not closely related to the Sesioidea.
