Mimallonidae Burmeister (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named species in 43 genera. These moths are found only in the New World, with most taxa occurring in the Neotropics. Adult moths are externally similar to those belonging to some of the other Macroheterocera families Bombycoidea and Drepanoidea, and thus have been variously treated as belonging to either one of these or other superfamilies.
Merimnetria is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It was first described by Lord Walsingham in 1907. All species are endemic to Hawaii.
Eucosma is a very large genus of moths belonging to the family Tortricidae. Some taxonomies place a number of species in the genus Eucopina. The genus has a Holarctic and Indomalayan distribution. Even in well-studied Europe and North America, new species are still regularly discovered. There are at least 670 described species in Eucosma worldwide.
