The Elachistidae are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths.
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga) is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus Chionodes, which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea.
The de Havilland DH.60 Moth is a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company.
The Calpinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1840. This subfamily includes many species of moths that have a pointed and barbed proboscis adapted to piercing the skins of fruit to feed on juice, and in the case of the several Calyptra species of vampire moths, to piercing the skins of mammals to feed on blood. The subfamily contains some large moths with wingspans longer than 5 cm (2 in).
The Lecithoceridae, or long-horned moths, are a family of small moths described by Simon Le Marchand in 1947. Although lecithocerids are found throughout the world, the great majority are found in the Indomalayan realm and the southern part of the Palaearctic realm.
The Pyralini are a tribe of snout moths described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809. They belong to the subfamily Pyralinae, which contains the "typical" snout moths of the Old World and some other regions. The genus list presented here is provisional.
Calodesma is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Crocomela is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
Gardinia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
Hyalurga is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Hypocrita is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1807.
Though small in absolute diversity of genera, the Hemitheini are nonetheless the largest tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Geometrinae. Like most Geometrinae, they are small greenish "emerald moths". The tribe was first described by Charles Théophile Bruand d'Uzelle in 1846.
Isostola is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae described by Felder in 1874.
Josiomorphoides is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by Hering in 1925.
Pseudophaloe is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Hering in 1925.
The Autostichinae are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. The present lineage was often included in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), but alternatively it is united with the Symmocidae sensu stricto to form an expanded family Autostichidae.
Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths.
Ctenuchidia fulvibasis is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is found on Jamaica.
Ctenuchidia interrupta is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is found on Dominica.
Hypocrita ambigua is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is found in Honduras.
