Limacodidae

The Limacodidae or Eucleidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Zygaenoidea or the Cossoidea; the placement is in dispute. They are often called slug moths because their caterpillars bear a distinct resemblance to slugs. They are also called cup moths because of the shape of their cocoons.

Chrysopolominae is a subfamily of moths in the family Limacodidae. The type genus of this subfamily is Chrysopoloma. Chrysopolominae was originally a family (Chrysopolomidae) under the superfamily Zygaenoidea, consisting of two subfamilies, including about 30 species distributed in Africa. But in other newer documents, this family was downgraded and became a subfamily under Limacodidae. The two subfamilies originally under Chrysopolominae were merged to become the synonym of Chrysopolominae, Ectropinae.
