Monoleuca erectifascia
Monoleuca erectifascia is a moth species described by Harrison G. Dyar in 1925. It is currently treated as a synonym of Monoleuca sulphurea, a species in the family Limacodidae (slug caterpillar moths). The original description was based on specimens from Mexico. As a synonym, this name has no independent taxonomic standing and does not represent a separately recognized biological entity.
Purius superpulverea
Purius superpulverea is a moth species in the family Erebidae, described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1925. It occurs in Mexico and southern Texas. Adults are active during March, October, and November. The species was originally described under the basionym Spodarctia superpulverea.
Sosipatra anthophila
Sosipatra anthophila is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. Described by Harrison G. Dyar in 1925, this species belongs to the genus Sosipatra, which comprises small to medium-sized pyralid moths. The specific epithet 'anthophila' (flower-loving) suggests an association with flowers, though detailed ecological studies remain limited. As a member of the Phycitinae, it likely exhibits typical characteristics of this diverse subfamily, which includes many species with concealed larval habits and varied host associations.
