The references to papers and notes listed below contain information relating to Gelechiidae recorded in the British Isles and selected European material although the list is by no means exhaustive. Brief summaries of the content of the papers have been added in a few cases. Information on any additional peer-reviewed published material is welcomed.
For ease of reference, in the General section the list is ordered alphabetically by name of the first author. Within the Genera / Species section, the genus or species are listed alphabetically and within each genus or species the papers are listed chronologically starting with the oldest.
