Lypusidae

Lypusidae is an obscure family of moths placed in the superfamily Gelechioidea.

History of classification

The group was traditionally considered monotypic and belonging in the primitive moth superfamily Tineoidea. Previous research suggested that Lypusa was so closely related to Amphisbatis - the type genus of the gelechioid subfamily Amphisbatinae - that these groups were merged.
