The genus name Brosis was first proposed by J. Hübner in 1806, but in a book – the famous Tentamen determinsationis ("Preliminary examination") – that was essentially an immense discussion paper and not a valid work of zoological nomenclature. When Hübner came to validly erect the genus in his 1822 genus list (Systematisch-alphabetisches Verzeichnis), it had already been used by G.J. Billberg for what is nowadays considered the Incurvariidae genus Incurvaria.Pitkin & Jenkins (2004ab)
