Family MACROPIRATIDAE
Introduction
[After Shaffer 1996]
The family was erected by Meyrick in 1932 for his species Macropiratis halieutica. An older name, Agdistopis Hampson, 1917, was originally described in the Pyralidae, subfamily Galleriinae. Whalley (1964a) synonymised the genera and transferred them to the Pterophoridae. Macropiratidae are known from Australia from the single species Agdistopis halieutica (Meyrick, 1932), described from Fiji and extending west to New Guinea and Australia. The genus contains two further species, sinhala Fletcher from Asia and griveaudi Gibeaux from Madagascar.
Many specialists did not accept Agdistopis as belonging to the Pterophoridae as the species lack the erect modified scales on the underside of the hindwing. Minet (1991) assigned the group as the Macropiratinae to the Pterophoridae, even though, as he stated, it differs from the remaining pterophorids in lacking two important derived features. Gielis (1993) has, however, treated the group with family status within the Pterophoroidea, where it is retained here. Externally Agdistopis bears a striking resemblance to the true pterphorid genus Agdistis, a genus not represented in Australia, and can only be satisfactorily distinguished by dissection of the genitalia and by the lack of the modified scales of the hindwing.
The single foodplant record known comes from a specimen from the Northern Territory where an adult emerged from fruit of Secamone elliptica. The moth is also recorded from Queensland.
Further studies are needed on this genus, dissections may well indicate that there are additional species mixed in with both the sinhala and the halieutica series.

Family PTEROPHORIDAE
Introduction
[After Shaffer & Nielsen 1996]
The first Pterophoridae were described from Australia by Walker in 1864, but the oldest described species listed were named from abroad and have subsequently been found in Australia. However, the oldest name in the Australian list is an introduced species, Wheeleria spilodactylus (Curtis, 1827). In the 19th century, Newman, Meyrick and Lucas added several species to the Australian fauna and several more were added in the 20th century, as recently as 1991. Today 49 species are recognised as occurring in Australia. The world fauna of the family consists of over 1200 described species. Further research will reveal additional species as several undescribed species are known.
The family was originally described by Latreille in 1802 and three subfamilies are currently known from Australia. Common (1990) and Nielsen & Common (1991) recognised Agdistinae, Platyptiliinae and Pterophorinae. Research since then has shown that true Agdistinae do not occur in Australia, and that the Platyptiliinae are synonymous with Pterophorinae (Gielis 1993). The subfamilies Ochyroticinae, Deuterocopinae and Pterophorinae are currently recognised in the Australian fauna. Besides the confusion over the placement of the genus Alucita (see ICZN, 1957), the group as a whole has always been recognised correctly and not confused with other families, except for the inclusion of the Maropiratidae.
Foodplant records are: Deuterocopus triannulatus on Vitis lanata; Stenoptilia zophodactylus on flowers of Gentianella diemensis; Platyptilia omissalis on Parahebe perfoliata; Sphenarches anisodactylus on flower buds and flowers of Pelaronium, also known to occur abroad on Dolichos lablab and on Lagenaria; Stangeia xerodes on foliage of Acacia and Imbophorus aptalis on undersides of leaves of Astrotricha floccosa.
The Ochyroticinae and Agdistinae are easily recognised with both pairs of wings undivided. In the Deuterocopinae the forewings have two clefts and the hindwings likewise, whereas the Pterophorinae have a single cleft, of varying depth in the forewing and two deep clefts in the hindwing. All true Pterophoridae have a line of erect modified scales on the underside of the hindwing.
