Nepticulidae

The first attempt to give these vernacular names called them Pigmies, but in the most recently published set of names they are Dots. Both are arguably appropriate for such tiny moths but I can see some sense in steering clear of a term that can be used to describe specific people groups.

Lots more to follow in due course...
