The Thyrididae comprise the family of picture-winged leaf moths. They are the only family in the superfamily Thyridoidea, which sometimes has been included in the Pyraloidea, but this is not supported by cladistic analysis.[citation needed]

Most species live in the tropics and subtropics. They are colourful and often day-flying moths.[1] There are four subfamilies.[citation needed] Their biology is little known.[citation needed] Thyridid specimens are rare in museum collections.[citation needed]
