List of moths of Great Britain (Ctenuchidae)
The family Ctenuchidae contains about 3000 known species, most of which are tropical. Two species may have reached Great Britain unaided, but others are accidental imports with food produce:
Subfamily Syntominae
- Syntomis phegea, nine-spotted — probably rare immigrant
- Dysauxes ancilla, handmaid — possible rare immigrant from Central & Eastern Europe (one old record)
Subfamily Euchromiinae
- [Euchromia lethe, basker — imported with West Indian bananas]
- [Antichloris viridis — imported with West Indian bananas]
- [Antichloris caca, docker — imported from South America]
