Xyrosaris is a genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae. [1] [2]

Moth Group of mostly-nocturnal insects in the order Lepidoptera

Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths, and there are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species.

This genus is allied to Zelleria but distinct by the long antennae, peculiar palpi and scale-tufts of forewings. [3]
