• Epimartyria

  Epimartyria is a genus of small, primitive moths in the family Micropterigidae, established by Walsingham in 1898. The genus contains three described species: E. auricrinella, E. bimaculella, and E. pardella. These moths represent an ancient lineage of Lepidoptera that retains chewing mouthparts as adults, a characteristic of the family Micropterigidae.
