They are so named because the female has two distinct sexual openings: one for [[mating]], and the other for laying [[egg (biology)|eggs]]. About 98% of [[Binomial nomenclature|described]] species of Lepidoptera belong to Ditrysia. The group can be divided into [[Basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] or ''[[incertae sedis]]'' "micromoths" and the '''Apoditrysia''' which includes mostly larger moths as well as the butterflies. ==See also== * [[Monotrysia]] * [[Lepidoptera#Phylogeny|Lepidoptera]] ==Sources== *Kristensen, N.
