Incurvariidae is a family of small primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera. There are twelve genera recognised (Davis, 1999). Many species are leaf miners[1] and much is known of their hostplants.[2] The most familiar species in Europe are perhaps Incurvaria masculella[3] and Phylloporia bistrigella.[4] The narrow wings are held tightly along the body at rest and some species have very long antennae.
