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.
Epimorius is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1877.
Émile Louis Ragonot was a French entomologist. In 1885 he became president of the Société entomologique de France.
