Sematuridae is a family of moths in the lepidopteran order that contains two subfamilies (Minet and Scoble, 1999).
==Taxonomy, systematics, and identification== These are large day- or night-flying moths, usually tailed and similar to Uraniidae in general appearance (except for the genera Apoprogones, Anuropteryx and Lonchotura). The position of this family is not certain amongst the Macrolepidoptera but it is usually considered to belong to the superfamily Geometroidea, whilst the identity of its closest extant relative is under investigation using DNA sequencing[http://www.leptree.net/status_matrix . Until recently very little has been known of sematurid biology (but see Sematurinae). The "chaetosemata" of Sematuridae have long setae overhanging the compound eyes, the antennae are thickened towards the often rather clubbed or hooked tip whilst a tympanal organ for hearing is always absent and there are other diagnostic characters in the abdomen (Minet and Scoble, 1999: 305-307; Holloway et al., 2001).
