Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this.
Crambidae comprises the grass moth family of lepidopterans. They are variable in appearance, with the nominal subfamily Crambinae taking up closely folded postures on grass stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly coloured and patterned insects that rest in wing-spread attitudes.
The Drepanidae are a family of moths with about 660 species described worldwide. They are generally divided in three subfamilies, which share the same type of hearing organ. Thyatirinae, previously often placed in their own family, bear a superficial resemblance to Noctuidae. Many species in the drepanid family have a distinctively hook-shaped apex to the fore wing, leading to their common name of hook-tips.
Tineoidea is the ditrysian superfamily of moths that includes clothes moths, bagworms and relatives. There are six families usually included within it, Eriocottidae, Arrhenophanidae, Lypusidae, Acrolophidae, Tineidae and Psychidae, whose relationships are currently uncertain.
Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.
The Cosmopterigidae are a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. These are small moths with narrow wings whose tiny larvae feed internally on the leaves, seeds and stems of their host plants. About 1500 species are described. The taxonomic family is most diverse in the Australian and Pacific region with about 780 species.
Lypusidae is an obscure family of moths placed in the superfamily Gelechioidea.
The Herminiinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. The members of the subfamily are called litter moths because the caterpillars of most members feed on dead leaves of plants, though others feed on living leaves, and/or the mushrooms of fungi as in the case of genus Idia.
Dasystoma salicella, sometimes also known as the blueberry leafroller, is a moth of the family Lypusidae. It is endemic to Europe, but is an introduced species in North America.
The March dagger moth is a moth of the subfamily Chimabachinae. It is found in Europe and was first described by Michael Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.
Diurnea lipsiella is a moth of the subfamily Chimabachinae. It is found in Europe.
Pseudatemelia subochreella, the straw-coloured tubic, is a species of gelechioid moth.
Pseudatemelia is a genus of gelechioid moths.
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings (Catocala); litter moths (Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths (Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth ; piercing moths ; micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae. Some of the erebid moths are called owlets.
Diurnea is a genus of moths of the subfamily Chimabachinae. The genus is noted for sexual dimorphism, with the males fully winged and the females having reduced wings and incapable of flight. The larvae are polyphagous i.e. feeding on many plants, in this case deciduous shrubs and trees.
Lypusa maurella is a moth of the Lypusidae family. It is found in most of Europe.
Ashinaga is a genus of moths in the family Oecophoridae.
Lypusinae is a subfamily of moths in the Lypusidae family.
Dasystoma is a genus of moths in the Lypusidae family.
Dasystoma kurentzovi is a moth in the family Lypusidae. It was described by Alexandr L. Lvovsky in 1990. It is found in south-eastern Siberia.
