Neopseustis is a genus of moths in the family Neopseustidae.
Neopseustidae is a small family of day and night-flying "archaic bell moths" in the order Lepidoptera. They are classified into their own superfamily Neopseustoidea and infraorder Neopseustina. Four genera are known. These primitive moths are restricted to South America and Southeast Asia. Their biology is unknown.
Prototheora is a genus of moths. It is the only genus of the Prototheoridae, or the African primitive ghost moths, a family of insects in the lepidopteran order, contained in the superfamily Hepialoidea. These moths are endemic to Southern Africa.
Myoglossata is a clade within suborder Glossata within order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths. It contains the family Neopseustidae and the clade Neolepidoptera. Myoglossata is considered a clade, that is, a group of organisms made up of a single common ancestor and all of its descendants. They are distinguished by "intrinsic mouthparts". These added intrinsic galeal muscles are unique to the Myoglossata and developed after the galeae changed to form sucking parts.
Opostega is a genus of moths of the family Opostegidae with 49 listed species.
Pseudopostega is a genus of moths of the family Opostegidae.
Phyllonorycter is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Eucosmophora is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Marmara is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Synempora is a genus of moths in the family Neopseustidae.
Neopseustis calliglauca is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is known only from the Khasi Hills of north-eastern India.
Neopseustis bicornuta is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by D.R. Davis in 1975. It is known from the type-locality, Mount Omei, located in the south-western area of Sichuan Province, China as well as Mount Gong Gashan, also in Sichuan.
Neopseustis archiphenax is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. It is known from upper Burma and the Sichuan Province in China.
Neopseustis meyricki is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is known from the central highlands of Taiwan, where it occurs rather widely at elevations exceeding 1,000 meters.
Neopseustis sinensis is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by D.R. Davis in 1975. It is known from the Sichuan Province in south-western China.
Apoplania chilensis is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by D.R. Davis in 1975. It is known from heavily forested areas of central Chile at elevations of 600 to 1,000 meters.
Neopseustis fanjingshana is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by Yang in 1988. It is known from the Guizhou Province and Hunan Province in China.
Apoplania valdiviana is a species of moth belonging to the family Neopseustidae. It was described by Davis and Nielsen in 1985. It is known from the south-western part of the Neuquen Province of Argentina and the eastern part of the Osorno Province and the Cautin Province in Chile.
Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths which was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854.
Carposina is a genus of moths in the Carposinidae family.
Aenigmatineidae is a family of basal Lepidoptera, moths discovered on Kangaroo Island in South Australia by Dr Richard Glatz. The family is based on a single species discovered in 2015, Aenigmatinea glatzella, commonly known as the enigma moth. The larvae feed on conifers by mining the stem of Callitris plants in the cypress family. The adult has highly reduced mouthparts but its position in the Glossata containing the more familiar moths-with-tongues is confirmed by morphological and DNA sequence similarity. The group is best treated as a sister of the family Neopseustidae.
