Cover Story: The family Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera) is one of the poorly known groups of microlepidoptera, even though it is a highly diverse group containing more than 1,470 known species (Park et al., 2022a, b). During the last two decades, the author has intensively studied the family, especially for the less-explored areas including southern Asia and Afrotropical regions. Throughout these studies, the author described a new subfamily (Crocanthinae Park, 2015), 32 new genera, and over 540 new species of the family. In this article, a historical review for the taxonomic works of the family is briefly summarized, with a comparison of the number of genera/species of each subfamily in each region of the world. All available information on the phylogeny, biology, morphological characters of the subfamilies, and zoogeographical remarks of the family are listed and discussed. View this paper
