The Batrachedridae are a small family of moths. These are small, slender moths which rest with their wings wrapped tightly around their bodies. The taxonomy of this and related groups is often disputed. It was long thought to contain two genera, Batrachedra (many species) and Houdinia (a single species, Houdinia flexilissima from New Zealand and surrounding islands).

Recently, other genera have been assigned to the family. These include:

Batrachedra Herrich-Schäffer, 1853
Chedra Hodges, 1966
Corythangela Meyrick, 1897
Duospina Hodges, 1966
Enscepastra Meyrick, 1920
Idioglossa Walsingham, 1881
Ifeda Hodges, 1966
