Copromorphidae, the "tropical fruitworm moths" is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. These moths have broad, rounded forewings, and well-camouflaged scale patterns. Unlike Carposinidae the mouthparts include "labial palps" with the second rather than third segment the longest. With other unusual structural characteristics of the caterpillar and adult, it could represent the sister lineage of all other extant members of this superfamily. The genus Sisyroxena from Madagascar is also notable for its unusual venation and wing scale sockets.
The Batrachedridae are a small family of tiny moths. These are small, slender moths which rest with their wings wrapped tightly around their bodies.
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.
Ateucheta is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1940. Its single species, Ateucheta zatesima, was first described by George Hampson in 1914. It is found in Australia.
Brachmia is a genus of the twirler moth family (Gelechiidae). Among these, it is mostly placed in the subfamily Dichomeridinae.
Hypatima is a genus of the twirler moth family (Gelechiidae). Among these, it belongs to a distinct lineage, which is variously treated as tribe Chelariini in subfamilies Dichomeridinae, Gelechiinae, or even Pexicopiinae, and historically was considered a subfamily in its own right, Chelariinae. Of this lineage, Hypatima – under its junior synonym Chelaria – is the type genus. This genus has numerous species, but its exact limits are not quite clear. This genus occurs mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, though one of the better-known species is the only member of this genus native to Europe, the lobster-clawed moth.
Halone is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae from southern Asia and Australia. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Aboetheta is a monotypic moth genus of the Spilomelinae subfamily of the Crambidae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1914. The sole species in the genus, Aboetheta pteridonoma, was described by the same author in the same year, and is found in Australia.
Araeopteron is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1893.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Comodica is a small genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Erechthiinae. It is apparently a close relative of the type genus of its subfamily, Erechthias.
The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.
Barea is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1864.
Dryadaula are a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1893, and is the sole genus of the family.

Eretmocera is a genus of moths in the family Scythrididae.

Calathusa is a genus of moths in the subfamily Hypeninae of the Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1858. Many of its species occur in Australia. It was previously included in the subfamily Chloephorinae of the Nolidae.
Heosphora is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae. The genus was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. The type species is Anerastia psamathella Meyrick, 1879, designated as such by George Hampson in 1901. All Heosphora species are found in Australia.
