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.

Dioryctria is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1846.

Joseph de Joannis was a French clergyman and amateur entomologist. De Joannis was the president of the Société entomologique de France in 1908 and 1916. His father Léon-Daniel de Joannis (1803–1868) was also an entomologist and an ichthyologist.

The larvae feed on Cedrus atlantica . [2] They mine the young cones of their host plant.

<i>Cedrus atlantica</i> species of plant

Cedrus atlantica, the Atlas cedar, is a cedar native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, to the Rif, and to the Tell Atlas in Algeria. A majority of the modern sources treat it as a distinct species Cedrus atlantica, but some sources consider it a subspecies of Lebanon cedar.
