Family: Metarbelidae (Strand, 1909) - Old World Goat Moths
This family was treated by Roepke (1957) as the Squamuridae or as a subfamily, Squamurinae, of the Cossidae. However, it is clear from Fletcher & Nye (1982) that the name Metarbelidae of Strand has priority. Fletcher & Nye did not include Squamuridae as a synonym but it must certainly be included as such. The family is known from the Oriental and Afrotropical Regions, being most diverse in the latter; a few New World taxa are also attributed. Moths of Borneo
