Douglasiidae is a small Lepidopteran family.[2][3][4] It includes around 32 species[2] of micromoth whose adults are collectively called Douglas moths, after British lepidopterist and hemipterist John William Douglas.[5] The largest genus in the family is Tinagma.[2] They are primarily found in the Palearctic realm,[5] with some Nearctic species.[4] The adults have a 6 to 15 mm wingspan, with a reduced hindwing venation and long fringes. The larvae are leaf miners or borers, primarily in stems and petioles, belonging to Boraginaceae, Labiatae, and Rosaceae.[5]
