Momphinae

	Momphinae The Momphidae, or mompha moths, is a family of moths with some 115 described species. It was described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1857. These moths tend to be rather small with a wingspan of up to 21 mm. The wings are held folded over the body at rest. The larvae are concealed feeders, either as leaf miners or within seeds or stems.

	Batrachedrodes ''Batrachedrodes'' is a genus of moths of the Momphidae family. All species of this genus are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. All six species were collected by Robert Cyril Layton Perkins and then described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham in 1907. He classified them in the genus ''Batrachedra'', although before publication he questioned if these species were not so distinct that they were better segregated in an independent genus. The genus was eventually split from ''Batrachedra'' by Elwood Zimmerman in his 1978 treatment of the microlepidoptera of Hawaii. The species were first considered to be part of the family Batrachedridae, but were placed in the subfamily Momphinae of the family Gelechiidae with the rest of the Batrachedridae by Zimmerman in 1978. The caterpillars of all known species feed upon the sporangia found on the undersides of the fronds of various genera of ferns, including, but quite likely not limited to: ''Asplenium'', '' Elaphoglossum'', '' Aspid ...

	Cosmopterigidae The Cosmopterigidae are a family of insects (cosmet moths) in the order Lepidoptera. These are small moths with narrow wings whose tiny larvae feed internally on the leaves, seeds and stems of their host plants. About 1500 species are described. The taxonomic family is most diverse in the Australian and Pacific region with about 780 species. Several genera formerly included here have been moved to the Agonoxeninae. Taxonomy The family consists of four subfamilies and these genera: Subfamily Antequerinae Hodges, 1978 Subfamily Chrysopeleiinae Mosher, 1916 Subfamily Cosmopteriginae Heinemann & Wocke, 1876 ''Adeana'' '' Allotalanta'' '' Anatrachyntis'' ''Anoncia'' '' Aphanosara'' '' Archisopha'' '' Ashibusa'' '' Axiarcha'' ''Clemmatista'' '' Coccidiphila'' '' Cosmopterix'' '' Diatonica'' '' Diversivalva'' '' Dorodoca'' '' Dromiaulis'' '' Ecballogonia'' '' Echinoscelis'' '' Endograptis'' '' Eralea'' '' Eteobalea'' ''Hodge ...
