Heterobathmia is a genus of Lepidoptera. It is the only genus in the suborder Heterobathmiina, as well as in the superfamily Heterobathmioidea and in the family Heterobathmiidae. Primitive, day-flying, metallic moths confined to southern South America, the adults eat the pollen of Nothofagus or southern beech and the larvae mine the leaves. Most known species are undescribed.
Lophocoronoidea is a superfamily of insects in the order Lepidoptera. These are small, primitive nocturnal moths restricted to Australia whose biology is unknown.
Sir George Francis Hampson, 10th Baronet was a British entomologist.
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.
Urodidae or "false burnet moths" is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order, representing its own superfamily, Urodoidea, with three genera, one of which, Wockia, occurs in Europe.
Copromorphoidea, the "fruitworm moths" is a superfamily of insects in the lepidopteran order. These moths are small to medium-sized and are broad-winged bearing some resemblance to the superfamilies Tortricoidea and Immoidea. The antennae are often "pectinate" especially in males, and many species of these well camouflaged moths bear raised tufts of scales on the wings and a specialised fringe of scales at the base of the hindwing sometimes in females only; there are a number of other structural characteristics. The position of this superfamily is not certain, but it has been placed in the natural group of "Apoditrysia" "Obtectomera", rather than with the superfamilies Alucitoidea or Epermenioidea within which it has sometimes previously been placed, on the grounds that shared larval and pupal characteristics of these groups have probably evolved independently. It has been suggested that the division into two families should be abandoned.
Metachanda is the sole genus in tribe Metachandini of moth subfamily Oecophorinae. Metachandini was originally described as family Metachandidae by Edward Meyrick in 1911, and at the time also contained the genus Chanystis, which is currently unplaced to tribe within Oecophorinae. It has also previously been described as tribe Metachandini of subfamily Gelechiinae.
Agathiphaga is a genus of moths in the family Agathiphagidae, known as kauri moths. This caddis fly-like lineage of primitive moths was first reported by Lionel Jack Dumbleton in 1952, as a new genus of Micropterigidae.
The Thyatirinae are a subfamily of the moth family Drepanidae with about 200 species described. Until recently, most classifications treated this group as a separate family called Thyatiridae.
Lamprostola is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae.
Coxina is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Heterochroma is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family.
Declana is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae that is endemic to New Zealand.
Ithysia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species is Ithysia pravata. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825, but the species had been first described by Hübner in 1813.
Lipomelia is a genus of moth in the family Geometridae. It contains only one species, Lipomelia subusta, which is found in India and Taiwan.
Lamprostola endochrysis is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Paul Dognin in 1909. It is found in Colombia.
Lamprostola nitens is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by George Hampson in 1900. It is found in Bolivia.
Lamprostola olivacea is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Schaus in 1896. It is found in Brazil.
Lamprostola molybdipera is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Schaus in 1899. It is found in Mexico.
Lamprostola unifasciella is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Strand in 1922. It is found in Colombia.
