Cosmopterigidae
The Cosmopterigidae are a family of insects (cosmet moths) in the order Lepidoptera. These are small moths with narrow wings whose tiny larvae feed internally on the leaves, seeds and stems of their host plants. About 1500 species are described. The taxonomic family is most diverse in the Australian and Pacific region with about 780 species. Several genera formerly included here have been moved to the Agonoxeninae. Taxonomy The family consists of four subfamilies and these genera: *Subfamily Antequerinae Hodges, 1978 *Subfamily Chrysopeleiinae Mosher, 1916 *Subfamily Cosmopteriginae Heinemann & Wocke, 1876 **'' Adeana'' **''Allotalanta'' **'' Anatrachyntis'' **'' Anoncia'' **'' Aphanosara'' **'' Archisopha'' **'' Ashibusa'' **'' Axiarcha'' **'' Clemmatista'' **''Coccidiphila'' **''Cosmopterix'' **'' Diatonica'' **'' Diversivalva'' **'' Dorodoca'' **'' Dromiaulis'' **''Ecballogonia'' **''Echinoscelis'' **''Endograptis'' **''Eralea'' **''Eteobalea'' **'' Hodgesiell ...

Moth
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.
