Moths
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. 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. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establish ...

Oecophoridae
Oecophoridae (concealer moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this. Taxonomy and systematics * Pleurotinae Toll, 1956 * Deuterogoniinae Spuler, 1910 * Unplaced ** '' Colchia'' Lvovsky, 1995 Also possibly included is the Peruvian species '' Auxotricha ochrogypsa'', described by Edward Meyrick in 1931 as the sole member of its genus. In the past, the family was circumscribed more widely and included the following subfamilies: * Amphisbatinae (sometimes in Depressariinae) * Autostichinae * Depressariinae (including Cryptolechiinae) * Hypertrophinae * Metachandinae * Oecophorinae (including Chimabachinae, Deuterogoniinae, Peleopodinae, Philobotinae) * Stathmopodinae * Stenomatinae Some treatments include only the Oecophorinae and Stathmopodinae here, placing the others elsewhere in the Gelechoidea (typica ...
