Family HYPENIDAE 



A group of small obscurely coloured moths commonly known as "Deltoids" from the tri- 

 angular shape of wings at rest, resembling the Greek letter delta A. They are mostly to be 

 found in thick woods flying up when disturbed. In many species the males are ornamented with 

 tufts of hair on the legs or palpi. The larvae live on dried leaves, or other decaying vegetable 

 matter.
