The Sesiidae or clearwing moths are a diurnal moth family in the order Lepidoptera known for their Batesian mimicry in both appearance and behaviour of various Hymenoptera.
Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,400 species, the majority of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe.
Ambia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Blepharomastix is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Julius Lederer in 1863.
Bradina is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Eoophyla is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It was erected by Charles Swinhoe in 1900.
Glyphodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.

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.
Aphomia is a genus of small moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Some breed in the nests of Anthophila, where their caterpillars are parasitic feeders of wax, honey and pollen.
Hypsopygia is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Though fairly small, they are large among their relatives. It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Almost 600 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.
Tirathaba is a genus of moths of the family Pyralidae described by Francis Walker in 1864.
Catapsephis melanostigma is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1912. It is found in New Guinea.
