Drepanidae
Hooktip and False Owlet Moths, hook-tip moths
Drepanidae is a family of moths comprising approximately 660 described species worldwide. The family is divided into three subfamilies—Drepaninae (hook-tips), Thyatirinae (false owlets), and Cyclidiinae—which share a distinctive type of hearing organ. Many species exhibit a characteristic hook-shaped apex on the forewing, the trait responsible for their common name. The larvae are notable for their tapered, pointed posterior and a resting posture with both head and tail elevated.
Trichopterygini
Trichopterygini is a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Larentiinae. Australian members include three genera (Episteira, Tympanota, and Sauris) with 14 recognized species, eight of which were described as new in a 1980 revision. The tribe occurs in the Oriental Region, Pacific islands, and Australia, with a predominantly eastern and northern distribution on the Australian mainland. No species are known from Tasmania.
