Merrifieldia is a genus of moths in the family Pterophoridae. It has an Old World distribution, with species known from Asia, Africa and Europe.
Species
As of version 1.1.23.125, the Catalogue of the Pterophoroidea of the World lists the following species for genus Merrifieldia:
= Fossil species
=†Merrifieldia oligocenicus (Bigot, Nel & Nel, 1986), formerly Pterophorus oligocenicus, from the late Oligocene–early Miocene boundary.
This species was originally described as Pterophorus oligocenicus, and its authors associated it with what was at the time the tridactyla-spicidactylus group within genus Pterophorus. Although these species were transferred to Merrifieldia as a result of the 1996 revision of Pterophorus sensu lato by Cees Gielis, Pterophorus oligocenicus remained within Pterophorus until it was transferred to Merrifieldia in 2012 by Sohn et al.
