Description
Medium sized butterflies with a wingspan of 3-4 cm. Fodder plants are represented by 40 families [1] .
Systematics
About 300 species [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] .
Due to their peculiar morphology and behavior, the Mimallonidae family was included in different superfamilies: Uranioidea (Forbes, 1923), Tineoidea (Handlirsch, 1925; Börner, 1939), Bombycoidea (Bourgogne, 1951; Becker, 1996) and Pyraloidea (Scott, 1986). In 2018, the family included 36 genera distributed in 6 subfamilies Zaphantinae St Laurent & Kawahara 2018, Aurorianinae St Laurent & Kawahara 2018, Mimalloninae Burmeister 1878, Lacosominae Dyar, Druenticinae St Laurent & Kawahara 2018 and 19ic.e. 1] . In 2019, three new genera are described : Fatellalla , Citralla, and Lepismalla [7] .
