). In contrast to most other members of the family, they fly during the day. Oncocnemidinae are small, dark coloured moths, but the backs of their wings are generally white with broad, black stripes.

      Glossata is the suborder of the insect order Lepidoptera that includes all the superfamilies of moths and butterflies that have a coilable proboscis. ....

      • Group Coelolepida
        • Group Myoglossata
          Myoglossata
          Myoglossata is a cohort of suborder Glossata within order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths. It contains the subcohorts Myoglossata and Neolepidoptera. Myoglossata is considered a clade, that is, a group of organisms made up of a single common ancestor and all of its descendants. They are...

          • Group Neolepidoptera
            Neolepidoptera
            Neolepidoptera is a subcohort of cohort Myoglossata in suborder Glossata of order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths. They differ from Myoglossata in the larval stage abdominal prolegs, pupal morphology, and the mandibles are reduced in size. They also differ in their reproductive systems. ...

            • Group Heteroneura
              Heteroneura
              Heteroneura is a natural group in the insect order Lepidoptera that comprises over 99% of all butterflies and moths. This is the sister group of the infraorder Exoporia , and is characterised by wing venation which is not similar or homoneurous in both pairs of wings....

                  The Ditrysia are a natural group or clade of insects in the Lepidopteran order containing both butterflies and moths. They are so named because the female has two distinct sexual openings: one for mating, and the other for laying eggs .About 98% of described species of Lepidoptera belong to Ditrysia...

                      Macrolepidoptera is a group within the insect order Lepidoptera. Traditionally used for the larger butterflies and moths as opposed to the "Microlepidoptera", this group is unnatural. However, it seems that by moving some taxa about, a monophyletic Macrolepidoptera can be easily achieved...
