Hi John,
This refers to outdated divisions of Lepidoptera, were butterflies are in Rhopalocera and moths are in Heterocera.

Am I falling behind the times – or is this a made up term? A quote from an SER publication –
“As a scientist and naturalist, Blaine has spent hundreds of nights conducting Nocturnal Lepidoptera (Heterocerids, a.k.a. Moths) surveys across the state of New Jersey”.
Thanks,
