Incurvariidae
Incurvariidae is a family of small primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera. There are twelve genus, genera recognised (Davis, 1999). Many species are leaf miners and much is known of their host plants, excluding ''Paraclemensia acerifoliella''. The most familiar species in Europe are perhaps ''Incurvaria masculella'' and ''Phylloporia bistrigella''. The narrow wings are held tightly along the body at rest and some species have very long antenna (biology), antennae. References *Davis, D.R. (1999). The Monotrysian Heteroneura.
