Gabriel Höfner specialised in Lepidoptera, most notably species from Carinthia, Lavanttal, Koralpe and the Saualpe. He described Micropterix aureoviridella (Höfner, 1898), Dichagyris nigrescens (Höfner, 1887), Montanima karavankensis (Höfner, 1888), Elachista albicapilla (Höfner, 1918) and Elachista argentifasciella (Höfner, 1898). Höfner undertook studies on Erebia and Psychidae, among others in over 40 publications (1876–1900) on Lepidoptera. He was past master of the Lepidoptera of Carinthia recording over 1,600 species.
