Epiglaea
Epiglaea is a small genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Noctuinae. It contains two described species: Epiglaea apiata and Epiglaea decliva. The genus was established by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878. Both species were described by Grote in 1874, prior to the genus designation.
Homoeosoma stypticella
A species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878. It is a North American species with records from Canada and the United States. Like other members of the genus Homoeosoma, it likely has associations with flowering plants, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented. The species is distinguished from the economically important sunflower moth (Homoeosoma electellum) by its different geographic range and lack of documented agricultural pest status.
Honora
snout moths
Honora is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878. The genus belongs to the diverse pyralid moth assemblage, commonly known as snout moths due to their prominent elongated labial palps. As a genus within Phycitinae, Honora species are likely small to medium-sized moths with relatively narrow wings, though specific diagnostic features distinguishing the genus from related taxa require detailed morphological examination.
Mimorista trimaculalis
Mimorista trimaculalis is a small crambid moth described by Grote in 1878. It occurs in arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States. Adults are active during the warm season, with records spanning May through September. The species name refers to the three spots (tri-maculalis) characteristic of its wing pattern.
