The Ypsolophidae are a family of butterflies (Lepidoptera).
features
The species of this family have fused or only briefly separated wing veins Rs and M1, well-developed eyes ( ocelli ) and the females have very long apophyses ( sclerotized processes on the abdomen to which the muscles attach).
The caterpillar pairs of sternum bones, as in all butterflies, consist of skin protuberances , if at all, only with a series of ticks.
The pupae do not have hooks at the end of the abdomen that allow them to hang from a woven base.
Features of the genital organs
The dorsal segment of the male genital ring ( tegumen ) consists of two distinct lobes at the end. The membrane that surrounds and supports the male sexual organ ( anellus ) is tubular and prickly and on the aedeagus there are two groups of prickles ( cornuti ).
The spiky extension ( signum ) on the sperm chamber ( corpus bursae ) of the female, in which the male's sperm is stored, consists of an elongated plate with two longitudinal elevations. The exit of the seminal duct at the tube that connects the female genital opening ( ostium ) with the sperm chamber ( ductus bursae ) is located near the female genital opening.
Occurrence
The family occurs throughout the Palearctic and northwestern India . In addition, species were introduced into North America .
Systematics
The Ypsolophidae family is represented in the German-speaking area (D-CH-A) with 22 species. In all of Europe they occur with 43 species. It consists of two subfamilies , Ypsolophinae and Ochsenheimeriinae, which are very closely related to each other. In the past, the very similar species of the Plutellidae family were added to the Ypsolophinae . The subfamily of the Ochsenheimeriinae in turn was counted to the family of the Wickler (Tineoidae). In general, however, the taxonomic classification of these subfamilies or families has not yet been reliably researched.
