Epermeniidae
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae (e.g. Common, 1990: 321) but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first (Dugdale et al., 1999). They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" (having pupal segments I-IV immobile) is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths" ( Alucitoidea and Pterophoroidea), for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales (Dugdale et al., 1999). There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus '' Thambotricha'' fr ...

Thambotricha
''Thambotricha'' is a monotypic taxon, monotypic genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae. Its sole known species, ''Thambotricha vates'', is also known by the vernacular name wonder-haired prophet. It is Endemism, endemic to New Zealand. This species is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation (New Zealand), Department of Conservation. Taxonomy and etymology ''T. vates'' was Species description, first described by Edward Meyrick in 1922 from a specimen collected in Wellington in March by Charles Edwin Clarke. George Hudson (entomologist), George Hudson discussed and illustrated the species in his 1928 book ''The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand.'' The holotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London. The vernacular name of this species, "wonder-haired prophet", comes from a translation of its Latin name. The name is as a result of the male having very long hairs on its antenna. The male holotype specimen of ''T. vates' ...
