Pyralidae Family of moths

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.

Cathayia is a genus of snout moths. It was described by George Hampson in 1901 and is known from Spain, Australia, China and Borneo.

Sir George Francis Hampson, 10th Baronet was a British entomologist.

The head and thorax are rufous with a few blackish scales. The abdomen is paler rufous. The forewings are bright rufous irrorated (sprinkled) with black and slightly tinged with purple, the veins with slight pale streaks. The hindwings are ochreous tinged and irrorated with brown. The underside is reddish ochreous irrorated with dark brown, on the forewing tinged with purplish red. [2]
