Yponomeutinae
Yponomeutinae is a subfamily of " micromoths" in the lepidopteran family Yponomeutidae (ermine moths). As their scientific name implies, this is the subfamily containing the type genus of the ermine moths, ''Yponomeuta''. The subfamily has worldwide distribution. A few species usually separated as subfamily Scythropiinae are sometimes placed here too. Selected genera :''This list mostly based on M.

Scythropiinae
''Scythropia'' is a genus of moths of the family Plutellidae. It is usually separated in a monotypic subfamily Scythropiinae, but sometimes included in the Yponomeutinae of the Yponomeutidae. They are sometimes called diamondback moths, which more often refers to ''Plutella xylostella'' of the fairly closely related Plutella.

Yponomeutidae
: ''Certain members of the unrelated snout moths (Pyralidae) are also known as "ermine moths." Spilosoma lubricipeda is an unrelated moth with the common name "white ermine."'' The family Yponomeutidae are known as the ermine moths, with several hundred species, most of them in the tropics. The larvae tend to form communal webs, and some are minor pests in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Some of the adults are very attractive. Adult moths are minor pollinators. There are five or six subfamilies. Some authors also include the closely related Plutellidae as yet another subfamily: Subfamilies * Saridoscelinae * Yponomeutinae The following genera do not have assigned subfamilies available: * ''Abacistis'' * '' Acrataula'' * ''Aemylurgis'' * ''Aictis'' * '' Amalthina'' * '' Anaphantis'' * '' Argyresthites'' * ''Artenacia'' * ''Balanoptica'' * ''Betharga'' * ''Buxeta'' * ''Calamotis'' * ''Callithrinca'' * ''Caminophantis'' * ''Chionaemopsis'' * ''Citrinarchis'' * ''Conch ...

Yponomeuta
''Yponomeuta'' is a large genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae. It has 103 described member species. Predator Defence Several species have the ability to avoid predation by emitting a series of distinctive clicks as they fly. These clicks, broadcast at an amplitude that avoids attracting unnecessary attention, identify the moths as containing noxious substances and therefore discourage bats from eating them.
