Lyonetiidae
Lyonetiidae is a family of small moths comprising approximately 200 described species. Adults are characterized by their diminutive size, with wingspans rarely exceeding 1 cm, and distinctive narrow forewings with pointed, often up- or down-turned apices. The family is notable for its larval biology: all known larvae are leaf miners, feeding internally within leaf tissue. The family has been subject to taxonomic revision, with Bucculatricidae and Bedelliidae sometimes treated as subfamilies rather than distinct families.
Swammerdamia
Swammerdamia is a genus of small moths in the family Yponomeutidae, established by Hübner in 1825. The genus contains approximately 13 described species distributed across the Palearctic, Afrotropical, and Nearctic regions. Species are associated with various host plants, including Rosaceae. The genus is named in honor of the Dutch naturalist Jan Swammerdam.
