The Scythrididae are a gelechioid group that was placed in the Xylorictidae by Hodges; they have since been moved to their own family by Landry. Adults are small, dark brown moths that are diurnal.
We depend on donations to keep Butterflies and Moths of North America freely available. We want to express our gratitude to all who showed their support by making a contribution this year. You can donate to support this project at any time.
