Pterophoridae, or plume moths as they are commonly known, occur worldwide and have about 1000 species described. They are known as plume moths because many, but not all, species have deep indentations in the wings with fringes comprised of very long scales or modified setae. Larvae or caterpillars often have long setae with various modifications such as clubbed, spatula-like, forked, and many other forms. These setae also secrete a sticky fluid that may be a protective mechanism. The larvae feed on a wide variety of host plants, although many in the United States feed on the family Asteraceae, or sunflower family.

The family is divided into 4 subfamilies: Agdistinae, Ochyroticinae, Deuterocopinae, and Pterophorinae. The Pterophorinae is the largest subfamily with 66 genera and 850 species worldwide.
