Atteva Pulchella
''Atteva'' is a genus of moths in the monotypic family Attevidae. The group has a pantropical distribution; however, the range of at least one species, '' Atteva aurea'', extends into the temperate zone. No consistent hypotheses regarding the relationships, placement, and ranking of Attevidae have been published, but the prevalent view is that they likely form a monophyletic group within the Yponomeutoidea.Sohn et al. 2013"A Molecular Phylogeny for Yponomeutoidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Ditrysia) and Its Implications for Classification, Biogeography and the Evolution of Host Plant Use".

Atteva Aurea
The ailanthus webworm (''Atteva aurea'') is an ermine moth now found commonly in the United States. It was formerly known under the scientific name ''Atteva punctella'' (see Taxonomy section). This small, very colorful moth resembles a true bug or beetle when not in flight, but in flight it resembles a wasp. Host plants The ailanthus webworm is thought to be native to South Florida and the American tropics (south to Costa Rica), which were the habitat of its original larval host plants: the paradise tree (''Simarouba glauca'') and ''Simarouba amara''. Another tree called tree-of-heaven, (''Ailanthus altissima''), originally from China, has been widely introduced into landscapes and invaded into natural areas where ''Atteva aurea'' has been able to adapt to this new host plant, giving rise to its common name, the "ailanthus webworm". ''Ailanthus'', common name "tree of heaven", is considered an invasive species, although it is still sold by nurseries as a yard plant, mainly becau ...

Atteva Gemmata
''Atteva gemmata'' is a moth of the family Attevidae. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873 and is endemic to Cuba. It is very similar to '' Atteva rawlinsi'' from Hispaniola but half its size. In ''Atteva gemmata'' the dots are reduced in number and connected to each other forming small, vertical, white lines. Taxonomy Both available names have been wrongly synonymised under '' Atteva pustulella'' (Walsingham, 1897) and reinstated as a valid species (Meyrick, 1914; Walsingham Walsingham () is a civil parish in North Norfolk, England, famous for its religious shrines in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. It also contains the ruins of two medieval Christian monasticism, monastic houses.Ordnance Survey (2002). ''OS Exp ..., 1914). However, it seems that both works were overlooked by John B.
