Taxonomic Swap 137861 (Committed on 2024-01-19)

Koçak (2005) designated Muhabbetia as a replacement name for Corythophora Braun, 1915 (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), a name preoccupied by Corythophora Loew, 1862 (Diptera: Ephydridae) and Corythophora Stål, 1869 (Hemiptera: Membracidae). Placement of the moth genus in Tineidae and unplaced to subfamily follows Sohn et al. (2013) and Pohl in Pohl & Nanz (2023).
