Enteucha is a genus of moths of the family Nepticulidae.
Tischerioidea is the superfamily of "trumpet" leaf miner moths. The superfamily contains just one family, Tischeriidae, and traditionally one genus, Tischeria, but currently three genera are recognised, widespread around the world including South America, except for Australasia. This is one candidate as the sister group of the bulk of Lepidoptera, the Ditrysia, and they have a monotrysian type of female reproductive system. These small moths are leaf-miners in the caterpillar stage, feeding mainly on Fagaceae, Asteraceae, and Malvaceae (Astrotischeria), and some also on Rhamnaceae, Tiliaceae, and Rosaceae.
Nepticulidae is a family of very small moths with a worldwide distribution. They are characterised by eyecaps over the eyes. These pigmy moths or midget moths, as they are commonly known, include the smallest of all living moths, with a wingspan that can be as little as 3 mm in the case of the European pigmy sorrel moth, but more usually 3.5–10 mm. The wings of adult moths are narrow and lanceolate, sometimes with metallic markings, and with the venation very simplified compared to most other moths.
Ectoedemia is a genus of moths in the family Nepticulidae. It consists of the subgenera Ectoedemia, Etainia, Fomoria and Zimmermannia. This genus was established by August Busck in 1907.
Tischeria is a genus of moths in the family Tischeriidae. The genus Coptotriche was long treated as a synonym of Tischeria, but is now considered distinct.
Stigmella is a genus of moths of the family Nepticulidae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Acalyptris is a genus of moths of the family Nepticulidae.
Trifurcula is a genus of moths of the family Nepticulidae. For the Triassic aged ray-fin "Glaucolepis" Stensiö, 1921 see Pteronisculus.
Enteucha acetosae, the pygmy sorrel moth, is a moth of the family Nepticulidae found in Europe. It is one of the smallest moths in the world with some having a wingspan of only 3mm. The larvae mine the leaves of docks, leaving bright red tissue around the mines.
Opostegoides is a genus of moths of the family Opostegidae.
Pseudopostega is a genus of moths of the family Opostegidae.
Stigmella betulifoliae is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Diškus in 2003. Specimens were in Tajikistan.
Enteucha terricula is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Robinson in 2000. It is known from Peru.
Enteucha trinaria is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Robinson in 2000. It is known from Venezuela.
Enteucha contracolorea is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Robinson in 2000. It is known from Belize.
Enteucha hilli is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Robinson in 2000. It is known from Belize.
Enteucha snaddoni is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Robinson in 2000. It is known from Belize.
Acalyptris pseudohastatus is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It was described by Puplesis and Diškus in 2002. It is known from premontane rainforest in the Napo region of Ecuador.
