Macrolepidoptera is a group in the insect order Lepidoptera. Originally, it was a catch-all informal term like 'micromoth'. However, it is now reformed to make a good monophyletic group.
In the reformed Macrolepidoptera, the following superfamilies are included:
- Mimallonoidea – sack bearers
- Lasiocampoidea – lappet moths
- Bombycoidea – bombycoid moths
- Noctuoidea – owlet moths
- Drepanoidea – drepanids
- Geometroidea – inchworms
- Axioidea – European gold moths
- Calliduloidea – Old World butterfly-moths
- Hedyloidea – New World butterfly-moths (or moth-butterflies)
- Hesperioidea – skippers
- Papilionoidea – true butterflies
The last three make up the Rhopalocera, or butterflies.
