  • 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.
