Argyractis is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta, as well as genetic analyses.
Argyractoides is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae.
Aulacodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was first described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Elophila is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1822.
Neargyractis is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Undulambia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Usingeriessa is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Nymphicula is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Oligostigma is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Parapoynx is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Petrophila is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Lansdown Guilding in 1830.
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
Usingeriessa onyxalis is a moth of the family Crambidae. It is native to southern Texas, Mexico and Central America. It is an introduced species in Hawaii.
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths. They are primarily Neotropical and include about 400 described species.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. More than 720 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
Cybalomiinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by Hubert Marion in 1955.
Scopariinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. The subfamily was described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Petrophila aengusalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Schaus in 1924. Its type locality is Rio de Janeiro. The species was transferred from Argyractis to Petrophila in 1995.
Petrophila malcusalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Schaus in 1924. It is found in the Dominican Republic.
Hydrorybina violascens is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1917. It is found on Borneo.
