Guides
Pyrausta andrei
Pyrausta andrei is a species of crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1976. It belongs to the genus Pyrausta, a diverse group of small moths commonly known as pyrausta moths or snout moths due to their elongated labial palps. The species is known from a limited number of records in Texas, North America. Like other members of Pyrausta, it is presumed to have a herbivorous larval stage, though specific host associations remain undocumented.
Pyrausta antisocialis
Pyrausta antisocialis is a crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1976. It is known from a restricted range in the southwestern United States, specifically New Mexico and Arizona. Adults are active during summer months. The species belongs to a genus containing many herbivorous species, though specific biological details for this species remain limited.
Pyrausta arizonicalis
Pyrausta arizonicalis is a crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1976. It is found in the southwestern United States, with records from Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Adults are active from April through November, indicating an extended flight period across multiple seasons.
Pyrausta dapalis
Pyrausta dapalis is a small crambid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. Adults are active during winter months in western North America, with flight records from January through March. The species has been reared on Salvia species, indicating a larval association with this plant genus. Like other Pyrausta species, it is part of the snout moth group characterized by elongated labial palps.
Pyrausta obtusanalis
White-fringed Pyrausta Moth and Allies
Pyrausta obtusanalis is a crambid moth described by Druce in 1899. It belongs to the genus Pyrausta, a diverse group of small moths commonly known as pyrausta moths or snout moths. The species has a documented distribution in Mexico (Jalapa), southern California, and Arizona. Beyond basic taxonomic and geographic information, little is documented about its biology.
Pyrausta pseuderosnealis
Yellow-banded Pyrausta Moth
Pyrausta pseuderosnealis is a small crambid moth described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1976. It occurs across much of the southern and central United States and Mexico. Adults are active year-round in warmer regions, with records spanning January through October. The species belongs to a genus containing several economically significant herbivores, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Pyrausta socialis
Sociable Pyrausta Moth
Pyrausta socialis is a crambid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1877. The species occurs across northern and western North America, with records from Ontario westward to British Columbia and south to Montana and Colorado. Two subspecies are recognized: the nominate form and P. s. perpallidalis described from Washington and Oregon. As a member of the snout moth family, it possesses the elongated labial palps characteristic of Crambidae.
Pyrausta subsequalis plagalis
Pyrausta subsequalis plagalis is a subspecies of crambid moth described by Haimbach in 1908. It belongs to the genus Pyrausta, a diverse group of small moths commonly known as pyrausta moths or snout moths. As a member of the family Crambidae, it shares characteristics with other pyraustines, though specific details about this particular subspecies remain poorly documented in available sources. The subspecies designation indicates geographic or morphological variation within the broader species P. subsequalis.
