    Concealer moths

    Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea, commonly known as concealer moths. The family's circumscription remains unsettled due to unresolved phylogeny of gelechoid moths, with various treatments placing different subfamilies within or outside the family. The group includes species with diverse ecological roles, from nutrient recyclers feeding on dead plant material to significant household pests.
