Borkhausenia is a genus of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). Among these, it belongs to subfamily Oecophorinae, wherein it is probably closely related to Hofmannophila (Brown House Moth). In the past, several other Oecophoridae (e.g. Schiffermuelleria) have been included in Borkhausenia, as well as a few even more distant members of the superfamily Gelechioidea. Metalampra was originally described as a subgenus of Borkhausenia. Telechrysis has also been included here as a subgenus by some, while other authors have considered it a separate genus in the Oecophorinae or – if these are also considered distinct – the Amphisbatinae.
