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

 The family is plentifully represented in all regions alike. 



Larva more or less elongate, sometimes without prologs on 

 10, sometimes with rudimentary processes, seldom apodal, very 

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

 c? 1 2 free, or some or all of these fixed in the higher genera ; 

 usually protruded from cocoon in 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.
