The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
Azamora is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Francis Walker in 1858, and is known from Venezuela, Brazil, Suriname, and French Guinea.
Herbert Druce, FLS was a British entomologist. His collections were acquired by Frederick DuCane Godman (1834–1919) and Osbert Salvin (1835–1898) before being bequeathed to the Natural History Museum, London. He is not to be confused with his son, the English entomologist Hamilton Herbert Druce who also worked on Lepidoptera.
