Drepanidae Meyrick, 1895 - Hooktip & False Owlet Moths of Thailand


Home > Insects > Lepidoptera - Moths > ​Drepanidae​

Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Superfamily: ​Drepanoidea
​Family: ​Drepanidae


The Drepanidae is a family of moths with about 660 species described worldwide. They are generally divided in three subfamilies (Minet and Scoble, 1999) which share the same type of hearing organ. Thyatirinae, previously often placed in their own family, bear a superficial resemblance to Noctuidae. Many species in the Drepanid family have a distinctively hook-shaped apex to the forewing, leading to their common name of hook-tips.. Wikipedia
