Heteroneura is a natural group (or clade) in the insect order Lepidoptera that comprises over 99% of all butterflies and moths. They are the sister group of the infraorder Exoporia (swift moths and their relatives), and are characterised by their wing venation which is not similar or homoneurous in both pairs of wings.
