Xyloryctidae

Synonyms: Cryptophasidae; Scythridae

Wikipedia Abstract

Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths. Formerly, Xyloryctidae were placed in the Oecophoridae as the subfamily Xyloryctinae. Recent research suggests the Xyloryctidae are an independent family, sharing common ancestry with the Oecophoridae, but not descended from them.
