Acrolepiidae
The Acrolepiidae are a family of moths known as false diamondback moths. In modern classifications, they are often treated as a subfamily (Acrolepiinae) of the family Glyphipterigidae. Caterpillars are typically spotted and 10 to 12 mm in length. Adults have a wingspan between 16 and 18 mm and are generally nocturnal.

Acrolepiopsis Assectella
The leek moth or onion leaf miner (''Acrolepiopsis assectella'') is a species of moth of family Acrolepiidae (formerly Glyphipterigidae) and the genus '' Acrolepiopsis''. The species is native to Europe and Siberia, but is also found in North America, where it is an invasive species. While it was initially recorded in Hawaii, this was actually a misidentification of '' Acrolepiopsis sapporensis''. The leek moth is similar in appearance to other members of the genus ''Acrolepiopsis'', with mottled brown and white wings. Its wing span is approximately 12 mm across. It is a pest of leek crops, as the larvae feed on several species of ''Allium'' by mining into the leaves or bulbs. The shape of the leaf mine is variable, ranging from a corridor to a blotch, and can be with or without frass. This leaf mining can occur in the tubular leaves or in the stem. In the case of onions and shallots, the larvae mine into the bulb. In North America, where the moth is an invasive species ...

''Digitivalva granitella'' is a moth of the family Acrolepiidae. It is found in most of Continental Europe, except Fennoscandia, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Baltic region, the western part of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine. The wingspan is 11–14 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July and again from August to September in two generations per year. The adult overwinters and reappears the following spring. The larvae feed on ''Inula conyza''.
