Subfamily
Larentiinae (Carpet moths)
Larentiinae moths contain roughly 5,800 species and occur mostly in the temperate regions of the world. They are generally considered a subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae) and divided into a few large or good-sized tribes, and numerous very small or even monotypic ones which might not always be valid. Well-known members are the “pug moths” of the Eupitheciini and the “carpets”, mainly of the Cidariini and Xanthorhoini.
