Ambesa laetella
snout moth
Ambesa laetella is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1880. It is known from the Canadian prairie provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. As a member of the subfamily Phycitinae, it shares the characteristic elongated labial palps that form a "snout" projection. The species has been documented through 95 iNaturalist observations, indicating it is moderately well-observed but remains poorly studied in the scientific literature.
Hypsopygia planalis

The species is known from North America, with confirmed records from Colorado. Like other members of the genus Hypsopygia, it belongs to a group of moths commonly referred to as snout moths due to the elongated labial palps that project forward from the head. The biology and larval habits of this species remain poorly documented.

The species is assigned Hodges number 10610 in the North American Moth Photographers Group system. Like other members of the genus Neleucania, it is a nocturnal moth with larvae that likely exhibit typical cutworm feeding habits, though specific details remain poorly documented.
Pseudopanthea palata
