Comodica is a small genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Erechthiinae. It is apparently a close relative of the type genus of its subfamily, Erechthias.

It is usually delimited sensu stricto, making it a smallish genus, with 11 species presently placed here:

  • Comodica cirrhopolia (Turner, 1923)
  • Comodica coarctata (J.F.G.Clarke, 1971)
  • Comodica crypsicroca Turner, 1923
  • Comodica drepanosema Turner, 1923
  • Comodica lucinda Meyrick, 1927
  • Comodica ordinata Walsingham, 1914
  • Comodica polygrapta Meyrick, 1924
  • Comodica semiades Bradley, 1956
  • Comodica signata J.F.G.Clarke, 1986
  • Comodica tetracercella Meyrick, 1880
  • Comodica tigrina Turner, 1917
  • Erechthias and Comodica are not unequivocally delimited against each other yet. Some species of the former are occasionally placed in the present genus, namely:

  • Erechthias citrinopa
  • Erechthias contributa
  • Erechthias decaspila
  • Erechthias dochmogramma
  • Erechthias epispora
  • Erechthias eurynipha
  • Erechthias saitoi
  • Mecomodica fullawayi is also sometimes placed in Comodica; it might alternatively belong in Erechthias or represent a distinct lineage not much closer to either of the two than to the other.
