Welcome to Dave McCormick's Moth and Butterfly World. Here is information on the Superfamily, Mnesarchaeoidea and its subfamilies. Go Back to A-Z Family index and Photos Information
Mnesarchaeoidea is a superfamily of
"New Zealand primitive moths" containing one family,
Mnesarchaeidae and a single genus, Mnesarchaea, endemic
to New Zealand.
The mouthparts of the adult moths are functional, unlike Hepialoidea. About seven species are not yet described, and the group is under revision by Gibbs et al. The moths are mostly day-flying. The caterpillars live in silken galleries among liverworts and soil detritus. Subfamilies in this Superfamily Mnesarchaeidae List of Species We Have Photos and Information On
