Tineidae is a family of moths in the order Lepidoptera described by Pierre André Latreille in 1810. Collectively, they are known as fungus moths or tineid moths. The family contains considerably more than 3,000 species in more than 300 genera. Most of the tineid moths are small or medium-sized, with wings held roofwise over the body when at rest. They are particularly common in the Palaearctic, but many occur elsewhere, and some are found very widely as introduced species.
Yponomeutoidea is a superfamily of ermine moths and relatives. There are about 1,800 species of Yponomeutoids worldwide, most of them known to come from temperate regions. This superfamily is one of the earliest groups to evolve external feeding and to colonize herbs in addition to shrubs and trees.
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.
Bedelliidae is a small family of small, narrow-winged moths; most authorities recognize just a single genus, Bedellia, previously included in the family Lyonetiidae. The family is still included in the Lyonetiidae as the subfamily Bedelliinae by some authors.
Lyonetiidae is a family of moths with some 200 described species. These are small, slender moths, the wingspan rarely exceeding 1 cm. The very narrow forewings, held folded backwards covering the hindwings and abdomen, often have pointed apices noticeably up- or down-turned. The larvae are leaf miners.
Opostegidae or "white eyecap moths" is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera that is characterised by particularly large eyecaps over the compound eyes. Opostegidae are most diverse in the New World tropics.
Lyonetia is a genus of moths in the family Lyonetiidae.
Phyllobrostis is a genus of moths in the family Lyonetiidae.
Prolyonetia is an extinct genus of moths in the family Lyonetiidae. The single species Prolyonetia cockerelliKusnetzov, 1941, has been described from Baltic amber.
Leucoptera lathyrifoliella is a moth in the Lyonetiidae family. It is found in Finland, Germany and England.
Leucoptera coffeella is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in every coffee-growing country in South America, Central America and the West Indies. It is considered one of the worst pest species of coffee.
Leucoptera orobi is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in Finland, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia and Scotland.
Leucoptera meyricki is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae that is found in Ivory Coast, Angola, Congo, East Africa, Ethiopia and Madagascar. It was also discovered in Kenya and Tanzania. It is considered one of the worst pest species on coffee.
Leucoptera coma is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in Zaire and Uganda. It is considered a pest species on coffee.
Bucculatrix pyrivorella is a moth of the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in Japan, the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East. It was described in 1964 by Hiroshi Kuroko.
Leucoptera puerariella is a moth in the Lyonetiidae family. It is known from Japan.
"Phyllobrostis" argillosa is a moth in the Lyonetiidae family. It was described from a single male from Kranspoort near Pretoria. It is misplaced in Lyonetiidae and even in Yponomeutoidea. The species should probably be placed in the superfamily Tineoidea, probably in Tineidae.
