Hepialoidea

The Hepialoidea are the superfamily of 'ghost moths' and 'swift moths'. Fossil Hepialoidea appear to be few. Prohepialus (possibly Hepialidae) has been described from the about 35-million-year-old Bembridge marls of Isle of Wight. A mid-Miocene hepialoid fossil is also known from China.
