Lyonetiidae
Family of moths
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lyonetiidae is a family of moths with around 200 described species.[1] These are small, slender moths, the wingspan rarely exceeding 1 cm. The very narrow forewings, held folded backwards covering the hindwings and abdomen, often have pointed apices noticeably up- or down-turned. The larvae are leaf miners.
