Crambus angulatus
Crambus angulatus is a moth species in the family Crambidae described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1918. It is known from North America, with records from California. Like other members of the genus Crambus, it likely belongs to the group commonly known as grass-veneer moths, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented.
Crambus awemellus
Aweme Grass-veneer
Crambus awemellus is a grass-veneer moth in the family Crambidae, described by James Halliday McDunnough in 1921. It is known from marl fen habitats in the Canadian prairie provinces and Ontario and Quebec. The species is relatively poorly known, with few observations documented. Its larvae are suspected to feed on grasses, consistent with related species in the genus Crambus.
Crambus leuconotus
Crambus leuconotus is a species of crambid moth described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1881. It belongs to the grass-veneer moth genus Crambus, a group characterized by slender bodies and distinctive labial palps that project forward like a snout. The species is known only from Colombia, with minimal observational records available. Like other members of Crambinae, it likely inhabits grassland or meadow environments, though specific ecological details remain undocumented.
Fissicrambus hemiochrellus
Fissicrambus hemiochrellus is a small crambid moth described by Zeller in 1877. It occurs in the southeastern United States with a nearly year-round flight period. The species is one of several similar grass-veneer moths in the genus Fissicrambus.
Fissicrambus profanellus
Profane Grass-veneer
Fissicrambus profanellus is a small grass-veneer moth in the family Crambidae. It occurs across the southern United States, Caribbean islands, and Central America. The species was described by Francis Walker in 1866.
Microcrambus polingi
Microcrambus polingi is a small moth species in the family Crambidae, described by William D. Kearfott in 1908. The species is known only from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona. It belongs to a genus of grass-veneer moths, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Prionapteryx
Prionapteryx n-sp is an undescribed or unidentified species within the genus Prionapteryx, a group of grass-veneer moths in the family Crambidae. The 'n-sp' designation indicates it has been recognized as distinct but not yet formally described or assigned a specific epithet. Members of this genus are typically associated with grassland and wetland habitats.
Raphiptera argillaceellus
Diminutive Grass-veneer
Raphiptera argillaceellus, the Diminutive Grass-veneer, is a small crambid moth and the sole member of its monotypic genus. It occurs across eastern North America from Labrador and Quebec south to Florida and Texas, with records extending to Costa Rica. The species is strongly associated with bog habitats. Adults are small with relatively plain, clay-colored forewings that give the species its specific epithet.
Thaumatopsis floridella
Floridian grass-veneer
Thaumatopsis floridella, commonly known as the Floridian grass-veneer, is a moth species in the family Crambidae. First described in 1913 by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough, this species exhibits a coastal distribution pattern across southeastern North America and the Caribbean. Adults are active from May through September, with a wingspan ranging from 23 to 31 mm.
