Features

The moths have an elongated body and narrow wings that are fringed on the outer edge. The penis of the male ( aedeagus ) is hardened. Some species have simple eyes ( ocelli ). The female genitalia are very simple in some species, made ​​very complicated by involution and convergence of different structures in others. The female sperm duct ( ductus seminalis ) includes wide at the rearmost part of the sperm chamber ( corpus bursae ).

Occurrence

The main distribution area of Scythridinae is the Holarctic.

Way of life

The caterpillars live on leaves and buds, some of them as leaf miners. They feed on about 20 different plant families, but especially of Compositae ( Asteraceae) and Zistrosengewächsen ( Cistaceae ). They usually only rarely are solitary, in groups on the food plants and spin to protect the habitation around her body, into which they can retreat completely at risk.
