The Metarbelidae are a family of the Cossoidea also called the carpenter or goat moths, and is sometimes treated as a subfamily, Metarbelinae of the Cossidae. No synapomorphies are shared with the Cossidae based on adult morphology.[1] The family Metarbelidae was first described by Embrik Strand in 1909.

Distribution[]

The family Metarbelidae is most diverse on the African mainland (occurs only south of the Sahara). The family is absent in the New World, Europe, northern Asia, Australia and have a very scattered occurrence on Madagascar and in the Oriental Region through the southwestern and southern Arabian Peninsula.[2]
