family Urodidae
As you noted, the genus Urodus is placed in Urodidae. This page says it was transferred from Yponomoeutidae to Urodidae by Kyrki in 1988, and included in Urodidae by Dugdale et al in 1999 (in Kristensen's Lepidoptera: Moths and butterflies., which most people seem to be following these days)
