<i>Atteva</i> Family of moths

Atteva is a genus of moths in the monotypic family Attevidae. 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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Plutellidae</span> Family of moths

The Plutellidae are a family of moths commonly known as the diamondback moths, named after the diamondback moth of European origin. It was once considered to have three subfamilies: Plutellinae, Praydinae, and Scythropiinae. Praydinae was later elevated to its own family, Praydidae, while Scythropiinae has variously been moved to Yponomeutidae or also elevated to its own family.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Yponomeutinae</span> Subfamily of moths

Yponomeutinae is a subfamily of "micromoths" in the lepidopteran family Yponomeutidae. As their scientific name implies, this is the subfamily containing the type genus of the ermine moths, Yponomeuta. The subfamily has worldwide distribution.

<i>Hypatima</i> Genus of moths

Hypatima is a genus of the twirler moth family (Gelechiidae). Among these, it belongs to a distinct lineage, which is variously treated as tribe Chelariini in subfamilies Dichomeridinae, Gelechiinae, or even Pexicopiinae, and historically was considered a subfamily in its own right, Chelariinae. Of this lineage, Hypatima – under its junior synonym Chelaria – is the type genus. This genus has numerous species, but its exact limits are not quite clear. This genus occurs mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, though one of the better-known species is the only member of this genus native to Europe, the lobster-clawed moth.

<i>Opogona</i> Genus of moths

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.

<i>Zelleria</i> Genus of moths

Zelleria is a genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae.

<i>Yponomeuta</i> Genus of moths

Yponomeuta is a large genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae. It has 103 described member species.

<i>Prays</i> Genus of moths

Prays is a genus of moths of the family Praydidae, formerly assigned to Plutellidae or Yponomeutidae.

Xyrosaris is a genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae.

<i>Stathmopoda</i> Genus of moths

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.

Sagalassa is a genus of moths in the family Brachodidae.
