Memo: Poole (1989) included ACOSMETA in the subfamily AMPHIPYRINAE, subsequently restricted to the genus AMPHIPYRA by Kitching & Rawlins, in Kristensen (1999). Other genera formerly treated in the subfamily AMPHIPYRINAE are treated as HADENINAE by Kitching & Rawlins (1999). Poole (1989) included HYDRILLA Boisduval, 1840 as a junior synonym of ACOSMETIA Stephens, 1829. Poole (1989) included 5 species in the genus.
