Attevinae is a subfamily of moth

Moth

A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth , with thousands of species yet to be described...

s of the Yponomeutidae family, containing only one genus, Atteva. The group has a pantropical distribution but at least one species (Atteva aurea) has a range that extends into the temperate zone. No consistent hypotheses regarding the relationships, placement, and ranking of Attevinae have been published but the prevalent view is that they likely form a monophyletic group within the Yponomeutidae.
