Difference between Ditrysia and Lepidoptera

Ditrysia vs. Lepidoptera

The Ditrysia are a natural group or clade of insects in the lepidopteran order containing both butterflies and moths. Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths (both are called lepidopterans).

Bombycoidea

Bombycoidea is a superfamily of moths.

Cladistics

Cladistics (from Greek κλάδος, cládos, i.e., "branch") is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on the most recent common ancestor.

Egg

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own; at which point the animal hatches.

Gelechioidea

Gelechioidea (from the type genus Gelechia, "resting on the ground") is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths.

Paraphyly

In taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's last common ancestor and all descendants of that ancestor excluding a few—typically only one or two—monophyletic subgroups.
