The Thyrididae comprise the
family of picture-winged leafmoths. They are the only family in the
superfamilyThyridoidea, which sometimes has been included in the
Pyraloidea, but this isn't supported by
cladistic analysis.
Most species live in the
tropics and
subtropics. They are colourful and often
day-flying moths.[1] There are four
subfamilies. Their biology is little known. Thyridid specimens are rare in museum collections.
