Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes about 1,280 species Most of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe.
Acontiinae is a subfamily of bird dropping moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 50 genera and 430 described species in Acontiinae, found worldwide in temperate and tropical climates.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
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.
Metallarcha is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Metasia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Nacoleia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Francis Walker in 1859.
Pyrausta is a speciose genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Syllepte is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae.
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.
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.
Tirathaba is a genus of moths of the family Pyralidae described by Francis Walker in 1864.
The Phycitini are a tribe of moths of the family Pyralidae.
Emmalocera is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1888.

Salma is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863.
Heosphora is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae. The genus was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. The type species is Anerastia psamathella Meyrick, 1879, designated as such by George Hampson in 1901. All Heosphora species are found in Australia.
