The Phaudidae are a family of moths. Species occur from India to East and Southeast Asia, and include Phauda flammans, a significant horticultural pest on Ficus spp. trees in China, Vietnam, Thailand and India. Formerly known as subfamily Phaudinae within the Zygaenidae, it has since been elevated to the taxonomic rank of family, with phylogenetic research placing the family as sister group to the Zygenidae within superfamily Zygenoidea.
