Heinrich-1956
Guides
Anderida
Anderida is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. Established by Heinrich in 1956, this genus belongs to the diverse group of snout moths. The genus contains species that are part of the North American moth fauna.
Caristanius
Caristanius is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Carl Heinrich in 1956. The genus contains six described species distributed in the Neotropical region, with records from Guatemala, Mexico, and Central America.
Chararica
snout moths
Chararica is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was established by Carl Heinrich in 1956 and contains four described species distributed in North America. The genus is characterized by features typical of Phycitinae, including elongated labial palps that form a snout-like projection.
Philodema
Philodema is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae, established by Heinrich in 1956. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with minimal information available about its constituent species. Records indicate at least one species, Brachmia philodema (described from Yunnan, China by Meyrick in 1938), was later placed in this genus, though taxonomic placement remains uncertain. The genus belongs to a diverse group of small moths commonly known as snout moths.
Phobus incertus
Phobus incertus is a species of pyralid moth in the subfamily Phycitinae, described by Heinrich in 1956. The genus Phobus belongs to the diverse snout moth family Pyralidae, a group characterized by their labial palps that project forward like a snout. Beyond its taxonomic placement and original description, specific biological information for this species remains undocumented in available literature.
Pseudocabima arizonensis
A small pyralid moth species described from Arizona in 1956. As a member of the Phycitinae subfamily, it likely exhibits typical snout moth characteristics including scaled wings and a compact body form. The species epithet indicates its type locality in Arizona, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented in accessible literature.
Pyla aenigmatica
Pyla aenigmatica is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Heinrich in 1956. The species is known from Alberta, Canada, based on distribution records. Like other members of the genus Pyla, it belongs to a group of snout moths, though specific ecological and biological details remain poorly documented.
Pyla insinuatrix
Pyla insinuatrix is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. Described by Carl Heinrich in 1956, this species belongs to a genus whose members are generally associated with woody plants. The species is known from a limited number of observations and specimens, reflecting the generally understudied nature of many phycitine moths.
Sosipatra
Sosipatra is a genus of snout moths (Pyralidae) in the subfamily Phycitinae, established by Carl Heinrich in 1956. The genus belongs to the diverse Pyraloidea superfamily and contains multiple species distributed primarily in the Americas. These moths are part of the large and economically significant family Pyralidae, though specific ecological roles and detailed biology of Sosipatra species remain poorly documented in available literature.
