Batrachedra is the largest genus in the moth family Batrachedridae, with representatives all over the world. The early stages of most species are unknown. The genus name is derived from the Greek words batrachos, 'frog', and edra, 'seat', referring to the frog-like resting posture of the adult moths. As of 2018 at least some 114 species are known to belong to the genus.
The Heliozelidae, commonly known as shield-bearer moths, are a family of small, day flying monotrysian moths distributed worldwide. The larvae of most heliozelid species are leaf miners who cut distinctive shield-shaped cases from the surface of the host leaf, hence the common name. Some species are considered pests of commercial crops such as grapevines, cranberries, and walnuts. The taxonomy of this family is poorly understood.
Stegasta is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae.
Imma is a large genus of moths in the obtectomeran "micromoth" family Immidae. This is the type genus of its family. They are widespread in the tropics, with most species occurring between the Himalayas and the Oceanian region; the genus is furthermore plentiful in the Neotropics, but not very diverse in the Afrotropics.
Hednota is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Prorocopis is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1897. All the species in the genus are known from Australia.
Microdes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. They occur in Australia and New Zealand.
Crocanthes is a genus of moths in the family Lecithoceridae.
Anatrachyntis is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Some authors include it in Pyroderces.
Labdia is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae.
Leptozestis is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae.
Limnaecia is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Trachydora is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae.
Opogona is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Hieroxestinae. As it includes Opogona omoscopa, the type species of the now-abolished genus Hieroxestis, it is the type genus of its subfamily.
Stathmopoda is a genus of moths. It has variously been placed in its own family, Stathmopodidae, or in subfamily Stathmopodinae in the family Oecophoridae. Note that the phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved.
Emmalocera is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1888.
Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths.
Notodryas is a genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae. Its species all occur in Australia.
