Entmemacornis is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1919.
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.
Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. was an American entomologist.
Entmemacornis proselytes is a species of snout moth. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1919. It is found in Guatemala.
Entmemacornis pulla is a species of snout moth. It was described by Carl Heinrich in 1956. It is found in Brazil.
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.
Idalus is a genus of arctiine tussock moths in the family Erebidae.
Leucanopsis is a genus of arctiine tussock moths in the family Erebidae.
Rhabdatomis is a genus of moth in the subfamily Arctiinae.
Argyria is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Jacob Hübner in 1818.

Donacoscaptes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Haimbachia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Microcrambus is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Stanisław Błeszyński in 1963.
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.
Dichagyris is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The former genera Loxagrotis, Pseudorichia, Pseudorthosia and Mesembragrotis are now considered subgenera of Dichagyris. From Greek dikha-gyris 'apart, asunder; double' + 'the finest meal or flour'; English pronunciation: /digh-kuh-JIGH-riss/, IPA [dɑj•kə'dʒɑj•ɹɪs].

Ozamia is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by George Hampson in 1901. Some sources list it as a synonym of Zophodia, while others retain it as a valid genus.

Moodnopsis is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914.
Wyeomyia is a genus of mosquitoes first described in 1901 by Frederick Vincent Theobald. The genus's 140 species can be difficult to characterize because of their diversity and the need for additional taxonomic work to further delineate them. Adults resemble genus Limatus and Sabethes mosquitoes more closely than other genera in the New World tribe Sabethini, but differ by their scutal scales ranging in color from a relatively dull bronzy with a slight metallic sheen in most species, to a metallic gold. There are other distinguishing characters as well.
