Only '' Eulia'' is found in the Old World, since it has a Holarctic distribution. Diversity The tribe includes over 650 described species in nearly 90 genera. Most species have been described in recent years. Taxonomic history The tribe was first proposed as Euliae by Kuznetsov and Stekolnikov (1977) as a subtribe of Cochylini. Powell elevated the group to tribal status in 1986. Research by Regier et al. in 2012 has provided fairly convincing evidence that Cochylini are a monophyletic lineage within a broader Euliini. If this is accepted, Cochylini should be treated as subtribe Cochylina of Euliini. Biology The larvae of most species are leaf-rollers or leaf-folders. However, some may be gall Galls (from the Latin , 'oak-apple') or ''cecidia'' (from the Greek , anything gushing out) are a kind of swelling growth on the e ...
