Celypha is a genus of tortrix moths (family Tortricidae). It belongs to the tribe Olethreutini of subfamily Olethreutinae.^[1]

The closely related genus Syricoris is sometimes included in Celypha.^[2]

The 20 currently recognized species of Celypha are:^[3]

Celypha anatoliana (Caradja, 1916)

Synonyms

Obsolete scientific names (junior synonyms and others) for this genus are:^[1]

Celypa (lapsus)
Celyphoides Obraztsov, 1960
Cleyphoides (lapsus)
Euchroma (lapsus, non Solier, 1833: preoccupied)
Euchromia Stephens, 1829 (non Hübner, [1819]: preoccupied)
Loxoterma Busck, 1906

Due to the very close relationship between Celypha and the "wastebin genus" Olethreutes, there has been some confusion about the former's synonymy. Celyphoides and Loxoterma are sometimes^[4] listed as a synonym of Olethreutes. But the type species of the first is Tortrix flavipalpana (a junior synonym of C. flavipalpana), and that of the second is T. latifasciana (a junior synonym of C. aurofasciana). This makes Celyphoides and Loxoterma junior subjective synonyms of Celypha, at least in its present delimitation.^[1]

Celyphoides, meanwhile, was a nomen nudum for 5 years. It was first used by R. Agenjo Cecilia in 1955, but only properly established by N.S. Obraztsov in 1960.^[1]
