  Caterpillars of Australian Pterophoridae
The PTEROPHORIDAE, commonly known as Plume Moths, are a well known and easily recognized family.
The family ALUCITIDAE (Many-Plumed Moths) is often associated with the PTEROPHORIDAE in monographs and popular literature but is easy to distinguish because of the extra lobes of the hind wing and because these moths hold the wings unfolded and flattened against the resting surface.
The PTEROPHORIDAE are distinct from other families in Alucitoidea (eg: ALUCITIDAE, and TINEODIDAE) and Pterophoroidea (eg: MACROPIRATIDAE) in having rows of stout, sclerotized scales on the undersurface of the hind wing along veins Cu2 and M3.

 PLUME MOTH PTEROPHORIDAE OF NORTH AMERICA PTEROPHORID MOTHS
Plume moths are easily recognized by their characteristic "T"-shaped resting posture and the lobed or divided wings of most species.
While the family Pterophoridae is easily identified, species determinations are more challenging, often requiring dissection and preparation of genitalia slides.
There are currently 154 described species known from North America north of the Mexican border.

Pterophoridae are small and slender moths that are easily recognized by their narrow feather like wings which are split into two or three parts.
They are usually gray or brownish and some have relatively long legs with spines at the joints.

 BirdForum - Pterophoridae (but not before breakfast!)
Okay, I will now start checking hind spurs, check that there are no Pterophoridae on 'red list', catch and photograph, or vice versa, and see if we can get a good data reference built up.
More interestingly, I tried to find the Austrian Red List yesterday to check if any Pterophoridae appear on it, as there are 10 specie appearing only in single locations, and another 7 in two to three locations.
I gather that there is a general lack of materialon the Pterophoridae since Beirne, so I thought you might be interested in a guide to the Pterophoridae I just found.
