Prodoxidae
The Prodoxidae are a family of moths, generally small in size and nondescript in appearance. They include species of moderate pest status, such as the currant shoot borer, and others of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest, such as various species of "Yucca moths".
==Description and affinities==
Prodoxidae are a family of primitive monotrysian Lepidoptera. Some of these small-to-medium sized moths are day flying, like ''Lampronia capitella'', known to European gardeners as the "Currant Shoot Borer". Others occur in Africa and Asia. The other common genera are generally confined to dry areas of the United States. ''Tetragma gei'' feeds on Mountain Avens (''Geum triflorum'') in the USA. ''Greya politella'' lay eggs in the flowers of Saxifragaceae there. ''Prodoxoides asymmetra'' occurs in Chile and Argentina (Nielsen and Davis, 1985), but all other prodoxid moth genera have a northern distribution. The enigmatic genus ''Tridentaforma'' is sometimes placed here and assumed to be close to ''Lampronia'', while other authors consider it ''incertae sedis'' among the closely related family Adelidae.
