The Family Autostichidae
The family Autostichidae (Autostichid Moths) is a family of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Autostichid moths are mainly Indo-Australian moths of Gelechioidea. The taxonomy of the family Autostichidae is under debate; it includes genera that had been placed in Gelechiidae, Xyloryctidae, or Symmocidae.
Smooth scaled head, filiform antenna, and folded, scaled maxillary palps are characteristics of this family.
