Suborder:Glossata Infraorder:Heteroneura, Superfamily:Yponomeutoidea
In MBGBI3 subfamily: Ypsolophinae is treated as a subfamily of family: Yponomeutidae and
subfamily: Ochsenheimeriinae is treated as family: Ochsenheimeriidae
Ref: MBGBI2&3
Other than that S2 of labial palp is tufted in both, I do not know what features unite the 2 subfamilies and exclude all other families.

Subfamily: Ypsolophinae (1G 13S -1EX) Key to Ypsolopha
Genus Ypsolopha
Labial palp S2 tufted
Hindtibia smooth-scaled
Lateral pleura of abdominal S8 expanded posteriorly; Abdominal tergites not spined
V7 of forewing to termen
Hindwing V6&7 separate (this being the main feature separating Ypsolophinae from Plutellinae according to the key to subfamilies of Yponomeutidae as presented in MBGBI3p42; however in the introduction to Ypsolophinae on p89 it states "veins 7&6 of the hindwing are stalked or coincident" and in the introduction to plutellinae on p98 it states veins 6&5 (of hindwing) stalked. I am confused!)
Male genitalia: aedeagus with 2 cornuti or 2 groups of cornuti
Female genitalia: anterior and posterior apophyses long; ductus seminilis joins ductus bursae near ostium; signum an elongate plate with 2 transverse ridges
