Caudellia
A genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. Described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904, the genus name honors entomologist Andrew Nelson Caudell. The genus contains seven described species distributed across North America and the Galápagos Islands.
Gloveria howardi
Gloveria howardi is a moth species in the family Lasiocampidae, described by Dyar in 1896. Originally placed in the genus Dendrolimus, it was later transferred to Gloveria. The species is known from very few observations, with only two research-grade records documented in iNaturalist. As a member of the tent caterpillar family Lasiocampidae, adults are presumed to be non-feeding with reduced mouthparts, though this has not been directly confirmed for this species.
Lamprosema victoriae
Victorian Lamplighter Moth
Lamprosema victoriae is a moth in the family Crambidae, described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1923. It is commonly known as the Victorian Lamplighter Moth. The species has been recorded in the south-central United States, with confirmed occurrences in Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. As a member of the subfamily Spilomelinae, it belongs to a diverse group of grass moths and related species.
Moodnodes plorella
Moodnodes plorella is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, and the sole member of its genus. It was first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914 from specimens collected in Panama, and later recorded from Florida. The genus Moodnodes was established by Herbert H. Neunzig in 1990 to accommodate this species.
Oslaria
Oslaria is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, erected by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904. The genus contains three described species distributed in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Members of this genus are part of the diverse owlet moth fauna of arid North American regions.
Prorasea praeia
Prorasea praeia is a species of moth in the family Crambidae, subfamily Evergestinae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1917. The species is known from western North America, with records from the southwestern United States and western Canada. Available information is limited; larvae and adult biology remain poorly documented.
Pseudopyrausta marginalis
Pseudopyrausta marginalis is a small crambid moth described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. The species exhibits a broad transcontinental distribution across North America, with records from Alaska to Quebec and south to Texas, as well as in Panama.
