We capitalise on these developments to generate data from independent sources like mitochondrial genomes, morphology and bionomics. Using leaf-mining moths as model organisms, we address the evolutionary problems in the Australian biogeographical realm, from learning about the morphological traits and associated bionomics to revealing principles of the relationship between plants and insects based on genetic studies. We use museum specimens and mitochondrial genomics to associate century-old and often in bad condition primary type specimens with more recent accessions at the Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra, Australia, adding detailed morphological descriptions and bionomics like host records to otherwise relatively bare names. Genomic data yield well-resolved phylogenies, while morphology and bionomics improve visual evidence and practical biological knowledge. All three datasets fine-tune the taxonomy of the global Gracillariidae and the Australian members of the subfamily Ornixolinae in particular. In the present study, we demonstrated that some Australian species which were considered to belong to Ornixolinae in fact, should be classified as part of Acrocercopinae or Gracillariinae. We use holistic analyses to learn about species and species-group boundaries, assisting in species and higher taxa delimitation and classification.
