Hofmann's Werk: Die Gross-Schmetterlinge Europas, 4 Vols – Vol. 2: 410, by original designation. Parornix was established to denote a subgenus of Ornix Treitschke, 1833 (Nye & Fletcher, 1991: 266–267). Ornix Treitschke is itself a junior synonym and junior homonym of Ornix Kollar, 1832, though both have the same type species: Tinea upupaepennella Hübner, 1796, a junior subjective synonym of Tinea stigmatella Fabricius, 1781, synonymized by Haworth (1828: 529), presently placed into the genus Caloptilia, Hübner 1825.
