Pyralis
Meal Moths
Pyralis is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. It is one of the older lepidopteran genera established in modern taxonomy. The genus is commonly referred to as 'Meal Moths' in English. As a member of the subfamily Pyralinae, species in this genus possess the characteristic elongated labial palps that project forward from the head, giving snout moths their common name. The genus has undergone taxonomic revision over time, with at least one former species (Pyralis preciosalis) reassigned.
