Information

A superfamily of day and night-flying "archaic bell moths". Four genera are known. These primitive moths are restricted to South America and South east Asia and their biology is unknown. Nematocentropus appears to be the most primitive genus occurring in Assam, Myanmar and Sichuan, China, three species of Neopseustis are distributed from Assam to Taiwan, whilst Synempora andesae and three species of Apoplania occur in southern South America. The morphology of the antennae has been studied in detail.

To help Pronounce this family name, try saying Neo-See-ust-oi-dea if that helps. hard to say, but this might help. This is how I say its name.
