We provide the first multi‐locus molecular phylogeny of the lichen moth genus Barsine Walker and related genera, focussing on the recently revised Ammatho Walker and Ovipennis Hampson. One mitochondrial (cytochromec oxidase subunit I) and three nuclear (EF‐1α, RpS5 and Wg) genes were sequenced for 114 taxa representing most of the known members from these genera, sourced mainly from continental East Asia. Phylogenetic topologies obtained from maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference were generally congruent. Based on these results, we propose the four genus‐groups: the Melanaema, Asuridia, Miltochrista and Asura groups. The following genera are described: Longarsine gen.n., Callidarsine gen.n., Fangclia gen.n. and Micrarsine gen.n. The following subgenera are raised to genera: Ammathella stat.n., Striatella stat.n., Conicornuta stat.n., Delineatia stat.n., Composine stat.n., Barsipennis stat.n., Coccinigripennis stat.n. and Processine stat.n. The following genera and combinations are restored: Idopterum stat.rev., Nebulene stat.rev. and Ovipennis postalba comb.rev. The genus Hampsonascia is synonymized with Sesapa (Sesapa).
