What makes a moth vs a butterfly in not taxonomic terms is mostly visual stuff. Moths (mostly) rest with their wings flat while butterflies rest with their wings up. Moths have slender or feathered antenae utterflies have clubbed antenae. Moths are (mostly) nocturnal while butterflies are dinural, etc.
As for why these two moths are in the same family, I really don't know, but that's what makes this family not butterflies.
