The Agonoxenidae family of moths only contains four named species in the whole world (if, following Nielsen et al (1996) the Blastodacnidae are considered to be a separate family) :
- Agonoxena argaula (Coconut Leafminer) is a pest on Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) in Fiji and Hawaii.
- Agonoxena pyrogramma is also a pest on Coconut Palm, in Indonesia.
- Agonoxena miniana is a pest on Betel Nuts (Areca catechu) in Indonesia.
- Agonoxena phoenicea (Palm Moth) occurs in Australia.
Hodges, in Kristensen (1999) retained the Blastodacnidae in the same taxon as the Agonoxenidae giving a grouping of some 31 genera, but treated the whole as a subfamily of the Elachistidae.
