Thyrididae is the picture-winged leaf moths family of moths in the Lepidoptera order. They alone make up the Thyridoidea superfamily, which is sometimes included in the Pyraloidea (though this is not supported by cladistic analysis.
Most species live in the tropics and subtropics.There are 4 subfamilies. Their biology is little known.Thyridid specimens are rare in museum collections.
