Ypsolophidae is a family of moths with some 160 species. [1] They are included in the Plutellidae by many authors.
This is a list of genera and selected species.
The following genera are not assigned to a subfamily:
Yponomeutoidea is a superfamily of ermine moths and relatives. There are about 1,800 species of Yponomeutoids worldwide, most of them known to come from temperate regions.

The Plutellidae are a family of moths commonly known as the diamondback moths, named after the diamondback moth of European origin.
