This is a list of the Australian moth species of the family Pyralidae. It also acts as an index to the species articles and forms part of the full List of moths of Australia.
The following species belongs to the tribe Cryptoblabini, but has not been assigned to a genus yet. Given here is the original name given to the species when it was first described:
The following species belong to the tribe Phycitini, but have not been assigned to a genus yet. Given here is the original name given to the species when it was first described:
The following species belongs to the tribe Spilomelini, but has not been assigned to a genus yet. Given here is the original name given to the species when it was first described:
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.
Glyphodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Metasia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Syllepte is a genus of moths of 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.
Emmalocera is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1888.
Acentropinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. Species of this subfamily are exclusively found in wetlands and aquatic habitats.
Salma is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863.
Margaroniini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Charles Swinhoe and Everard Charles Cotes in 1889, originally as family Margaronidae.
