Atteva is a genus of moths in the monotypic family Attevidae. [1] The group has a pantropical distribution; however, the range of at least one species, Atteva aurea , extends into the temperate zone. No consistent hypotheses regarding the relationships, placement, and ranking of Attevidae have been published, but the prevalent view is that they likely form a monophyletic group within the Yponomeutoidea.
