Batrachedridae is a small family of moths. These are small, slender moths which rest with the wings wrapped tightly around the body. The taxonomy of this and related groups is often disputed but currently the family is thought to contain two genera, "Batrachedra" (many species) and "Houdinia" (a single species, "Houdinia flexissima" from New Zealand) [Hoare, R et al., The world’s thinnest caterpillar? A new genus and species of Batrachedridae (Lepidoptera) from Sporadanthus ferrugineus (Restionaceae), a threatened New Zealand plant. Invertebrate Systematics 20(5) 571–583, 2006 ] .
