Species occur from India to East and Southeast Asia, and include ''Phauda flammans'', a significant horticultural pest on ''Ficus'' spp. trees in China, Vietnam, Thailand and India.<ref name="Zheng-2020"/> Formerly known as subfamily Phaudinae within the Zygaenidae, it has since been elevated to the taxonomic rank of family, with phylogenetic research placing the family as sister group to the Zygenidae within superfamily Zygenoidea.
==Taxonomic history== Phaudidae was established as subfamily Phaudinae within the Zygaenidae in 1892 by William Forsell Kirby.<ref name="Fibiger-2010"/> Elevation to the rank of family was proposed in 1998 by Harald Fänger et al.<ref name="Fänger-1998"/><ref name="Niehuis-2006"/> Phylogenetic research in 2006<ref name="Niehuis-2006"/> and 2010<ref name="Mutanen-2010"/> supports placement outside Zygenidae,<ref name="Nieukerken-2011"/> and most though not all<ref name="Fibiger-2010"/><ref name="Leraut-2012"/> subsequent authors have followed this placement.<ref name="Efetov-2014"/> Further phylogenetic research in the 2020s confirms placement outside the Zygenidae, finding the Phaudidae as sister group to the Zygenidae,<ref name="Zhang-2020"/><ref name="Farooqui-2023"/><ref name="Cai-2024"/> and the grouping (Phaudidae+Zygaenidae) as sister group to the Limacodidae.<ref name="Cai-2024"/>
==Distribution== Species occur from India east to Southeast and East Asia.<ref name="Fibiger-2010"/><ref name="Farooqui-2023"/>
