BB2C8784FFEFFF9DB39EFB1CFE3CC044.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new genus-group name is a combination of the prefix from Eocene and the generic name Compsoctena Zeller, 1852 type genus of the subfamily. The gender of the name is considered to be feminine.	en	Ngô-Muller, Valerie, Engel, Michael S., Nel, Andre, Nel, Jacques (2020): First fossil Eriocottidae discovered in Eocene Baltic amber (Insecta: Lepidoptera).

BB2C8784FFEFFF99B39EF924FD92C4F0.taxon	description	Description. Female. Head (figs 1 A, 1 B): frons bulged with erect scales; ocelli absent; antenna filiform, extending to a point slightly distal to half of forewing costa, with tufts of long thin setae on each flagellomere, a pecten present on scape with six long setae; proboscis as long as maxillary palpus but distinct, uncoiled and serrate; maxillary palpus with probably three (?) palpomeres, as long as proboscis and first labial palpomere; labial palpus with three palpomeres, first and second palpomeres with a ventral scale brush, third palpomere as long as second palpomere, longer than first palpomere. Forewing (figs 2 A, 2 B) 7.6 mm long, 2.7 mm wide. Apparently dark blackish brown, possibly with microtrichia, ten veins arising from discal cell, all simple, with only R 4 and R 5 with common point of origin but lacking a combined stem, and all other veins well separated basally; R 5 terminating on termen; ac and ic present, ic longer than ac; CuP distally effaced, not reaching posterior wing margin, but quite elongate, surpassing level of discal cell apex; anal veins beyond anal loop fused into A 1 + 2; fringe not preserved. Hind wing ca. 6.1 mm long, 2.8 mm wide, with six veins originating from discal cell, all simple and well separated basally; ic present; fringe not preserved; frenulum not visible. Epiphysis quite slender, arising from proximal half of tibia and extending beyond distal end of tibia (figs 3 A, 3 B); meso- and metatibiae with one and two pairs of spurs, respectively; tarsomeres spinose. Abdomen with possibly telescopic ovipositor, with anal tuft made up of long piliform scales (probably used to emit pheromones to attract males).	en	Ngô-Muller, Valerie, Engel, Michael S., Nel, Andre, Nel, Jacques (2020): First fossil Eriocottidae discovered in Eocene Baltic amber (Insecta: Lepidoptera).
