The family Ctenuchidae contains about 3000 known species, most of which are tropical. Two species may have reached Great Britain unaided, but others are accidental imports with food produce:

Subfamily Syntominae

• Syntomis phegea, nine-spotted — probably rare immigrant
• Dysauxes ancilla, handmaid — possible rare immigrant from Central & Eastern Europe (one old record)

Subfamily Euchromiinae

• [Euchromia lethe, basker — imported with West Indian bananas]
• [Antichloris viridis — imported with West Indian bananas]
• [Antichloris caca, docker — imported from South America]
• [Antichloris eriphia, banana stowaway — imported from South America]
