We review and illustrate the four species of Choreutidae recorded from Madeira – Anthophila
threnodes (Walsingham), A. fabriciana (Linnaeus), Choreutis nemorana (Hübner), and Tebenna micalis
(Mann) – and describe and illustrate for the first time the male of A. threnodes, as well as the biology of
this Madeiran endemic. We provide brief notes on each of the species and give short diagnoses for correctly
identifying them. Finally, we discuss previous misidentifications of Madeiran choreutids and the
occurrence of choreutids on other oceanic islands.
