small, and in these the neuration is often remarkably degraded. 

 The family is plentifully represented in all regions alike. 



Larva more or less elongate, sometimes without prolegs on 

 10, sometimes with rudimentary processes, seldom apodal, very 

 often mining or case-bearing. Pupa with segments 7-11 and in 

 c12 free, or some or all of these fixed in the higher genera; 

 usually protruded from cocoon jn emergence. 



The phylogeny presents considerable difficulties, owing to 

 the degeneration and isolation of some of the genera ; only the 

 principal genera are included in the diagram.
