Taxonomy
The genus Cadmogenes was described in the family Plutellidae, but is considered an enigmatic unplaced genus (along with the genus Titanomis) and may require its own family.[1][2][3]
Cadmogenes literata was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1923 using specimens collected at Silverstream and Auckland in January.[4] George Hudson described and illustrated this species in his 1928 book The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand.[5] The lectotype specimen was collected at Kauri Gully, Birkenhead, Auckland by George Hudson and is held at the Natural History Museum, London.[6]

This species is endemic to New Zealand.[7][8] C. literata occurs in the Northland, Auckland, Taupo, Taranaki and Wellington areas.[6][9]
Host species and biology
