Aluctoidea is the
superfamily of
many-plumed and false plume moths. These small
moths are most easily recognized by their
wings. These each consist of many (typically more than 3) narrow strips of membrane around the major
veins, instead of a continuous sheet of membrane between the veins. In living moths in the wild, this is often hard to see however. When they are at rest, the "plumes" partly overlap, appearing as solid wings. But even then, they can be recognized by the wings having a marked lengthwise pattern and uneven edge.
