The skeleton and musculature of the male and female terminalia have been studied in Oenosandra boisduvalii Newman, 1856, type species of the family Oenosandridae. It has been discovered that a comparatively high number of muscles of the male and female terminalia are included in the ground plan of ditrysian Lepidoptera. These are muscles m1, m3(2), m4, m5(7), m6(5), m7(6), m8(3), and m21. In the male genitalia only m2 (retractors of the anal cone) and m1-m7 and m10 in female terminalia have not been found. The position of muscles¿ insertion is plesiomorphic in most cases. In Oenosandra, muscles m3(2) are retained and muscle m8(5) is in a plesiomorphic juxtovincular position which is remarkably different to all other examined Noctuiformes. These two plesiomorphic features and the general plesiomorphic nature of the male and female terminalia of the Oenosandridae are evidence of their basal position in the Noctuiformes. Reliable synapomorphic features of the Oenosandridae and other families of the Noctuiformes have not been found. Presumably, the similarities between the Oenosandridae and the Notodontoidea or the Noctuoidea are a result of parallel evolution
