The Phaudidae are a family of moths within the Zygaenoidea in order Lepidoptera. Formerly known as subfamily Phaudinae within the Zygaenidae, it has since been elevated to the taxonomic rank of family, with phylogenetic research placing the family as sister group to the Zygenidae. It includes Phauda flammans, a significant horticultural pest on Ficus spp. trees in China, Vietnam, Thailand and India.
