Micropterigidae Family of primitive moths

Micropterigoidea is the superfamily of "mandibulate archaic moths", all placed in the single family Micropterigidae, containing currently about twenty living genera. They are considered the most primitive extant lineage of lepidoptera. The name comes from the Greek for mikros, little and pterux, a wing. The fossil record of the group goes back to the Middle-Late Jurassic with the earliest known species being Auliepterix from the Karabastau Formation in Kazakhstan.
