:''This article is about the moth family. For the sicklefishes, see Drepaneidae; for the Drepanidinae (or Drepanididae), see Hawaiian honeycreeper.'' The Drepanidae is a family of moths with about 660 species described worldwide. They are generally divided in three subfamilies (Minet and Scoble, 1999;) which share the same type of hearing organ. Thyatirinae, previously often placed in their own family, bear a superficial resemblance to Noctuidae. Many species in the Drepanid family have a distinctively hook-shaped apex to the forewing, leading to their common name of hook-tips. The larvae of many species are very distinctive, tapering to a point at the tail and usually resting with both head and tail raised. They usually feed on the leaves of trees and shrubs, pupating between leaves spun together with silk. ==Taxonomy== *Subfamily Drepaninae *Subfamily Thyatirinae *Subfamily Cyclidiinae *Unassigned to subfamily * *''Hypsidia'' Rothschild, 1896 * *''Yucilix'' Yang, 1978 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drepanidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
