See text Batrachedra is the largest genus in the moth family Batrachedridae, with representatives all over the world.

[2] The genus name is derived from the Greek words batrachos, 'frog', and edra, 'seat', referring to the frog-like resting posture of the adult moths.

[citation needed] Of most species little is known about the ecology, but of those of which it is known, the caterpillars across the genus use a large variety of host plants.

At least two mine within pine or spruce needles, one is found respectively on Cyperaceae, Juncaceae, Salix and Populus, one is a pest of pineapples, another a pest of Agave, one feeds on the fruit of Smilax china and another on types of palms from Brazil.
