Moths with wings that fold like beetles?

I see lots of these, never bothered to closely identify them by species, but I am sure they are moths and I've seen a few different shapes and sizes.

One of them I know is Gelechia.

Are there lots of different moths with beetle-like hardened wings, often rectangular?

Did this feature convergently evolve among different groups of moths, or do they all belong to the same group of moths?
