The Heterobathmioidea are a superfamily of the Lepidoptera, containing a single genus, Heterobathmia. Arthropods are Animals belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, " Joint " Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described Amphiesmenoptera is an Insect Superorder, established by Willi Hennig in his revision of insect taxonomy for two sister orders Lepidoptera Lepidoptera is an order of Insect that includes Moths and butterflies. The Heterobathmioidea are a superfamily of the Lepidoptera, containing a single genus Heterobathmia. The Heterobathmioidea are a superfamily of the Lepidoptera, containing a single genus Heterobathmia. This is a list of the Diversity of the Lepidoptera showing the estimated number of genera and species described for each superfamily and where available family In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Lepidoptera is an order of Insect that includes Moths and butterflies. Primitive, day-flying, metallic moths, confined to southern South America, the adults eat the pollen of Nothofagus or Southern Beech and the larvae mine the leaves (Kristensen, 1983, 1999). Nothofagus, also known as the southern beeches, is a genus of about 35 Species of Trees and shrubs native to the temperate oceanic Nothofagus, also known as the southern beeches, is a genus of about 35 Species of Trees and shrubs native to the temperate oceanic Most known species are undescribed (but see Kristensen and Nielsen, 1978, 1998).
