Psychoides is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. The type species is Psychoides verhuella first described by, the French entomologist, Charles Bruand in 1853. Bruand also erected the genus.
==Ecology== The moths fly during the day and resemble the Incurvariidae, in which family P. filicivora was first described. They have a flat body and wings are held in a tent-like position. The Psychoides are unusual amongst the Tineidae with the larvae feeding on green plants, i.e. ferns instead of fungi, lichen or dry animal or plant debris.
