MOTHS OF BELIZE
SPECIES LISTS BY FAMILY
9. Oxytenidae
| BACK TO LIST OF MOTH FAMILIES |
The Oxytenidae are a small family of some 60 species confined to the
New World tropics. Together with the Cercophanidae this family has
been revised by Jordan (1924) who illustrates all the then-known 37
species in these two families.
I have taken only one species of this family in Belize so far, as listed below -
please click on any underlined species names to go to a colour
illustration of the adult and brief information on
the species.
