Oncocnemidinae

Oncocnemidinae is a subfamily of moths which belong to the large moth family (Noctuidae). In contrast to most other members of the family, they fly during the day. Oncocnemidinae are small, dark coloured moths, but the backs of their wings are generally white with broad, black stripes.
