Zoological Survey of India; M-Block; New Alipore; Kolkata - 700053; West Bengal; India.

The present catalogue comprises 144 species in 54 genera and 11 families of Yponomeutoidea found in India which represents 7.6 % of the total 1,884 species. Among the 11 families present in India, Yponomeutidae is most speciose (32 species in 14 genera), followed by Lyonetiidae (28 species in four genera), Glyphipterigidae (25 species in four genera), Plutellidae (14 species in nine genera), Heliodinidae (eight species in six genera), Ypsolophidae (six species in two genera), Attevidae (five species in single genus), Argyresthiidae (five species in single genus), Praydidae (five species in single genus) and Bedelliidae (four species in single genus).

The superfamily Yponomeutoidea, one of the early-derived groups in the order Lepidoptera, consists of 11 families. However, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences, popularly used for phylogeny and evolutionary tracing, are available for only seven species across six genera and five families. Thus, a larger variety of mitogenome sequences in Yponomeutoidea are required to improve our understanding of lepidopteran phylogeny and genomic evolution.

Background: Yponomeutoidea, one of the early-diverging lineages of ditrysian Lepidoptera, comprise about 1,800 species worldwide, including notable pests and insect-plant interaction models. Yponomeutoids were one of the earliest lepidopteran clades to evolve external feeding and to extensively colonize herbaceous angiosperms. Despite the group's economic importance, and its value for tracing early lepidopteran evolution, the biodiversity and phylogeny of Yponomeutoidea have been relatively little studied.
