Oncocera semirubella, the rosy-striped knot-horn, is a small moth of the family Pyralidae.
It is found in European regions, including the British Isles, [2] and East Asia (e.g. China, [3] Japan, [4] South Korea [5] and Taiwan [6] ).
The wingspan is 26–30 mm. The forewings are light crimson or pink, sometimes much mixed with grey or dark grey, a whitish, greyish-ochreous, or grey costal streak ; a broad ochreous-yellowish dorsal suffusion. Hindwings grey, slightly rosy-tinged. The larva is bronzy-blackish, with ten indistinct greenish lines ; a whitish lateral spot on 3, including a black dot ; head and plate of 2 black : amongst web on Lotus. [7] [8] [9] [2]
The adult moth flies in one generation by the end of June to August. It is easily disturbed on short grassland, flies from dusk onwards, and is attracted to light and sugar. [2]
The larvae feed on bird's-foot trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus ), white clover, Ononis species, horseshoe vetch and Medicago species.

The hindwings are subhyaline, fuscous-tinged, the veins and termen fuscous. Larva dull greenish-yellow dorsal and broader subdorsal lines dull purple; spiracular interrupted, double, dull purple; head brown: in flower-heads of Carduus
Pyla fusca is a snout moth of the subfamily Phycitinae and inhabits the Holarctic. It is distinct from the other species of the genus Pyla, which are only found in North America, and has been proposed for separation in a monotypic genus Matilella. Considering the insufficient knowledge of Phycitinae, this may be warranted, and eventually relatives of this specimens might be discovered in the Old World, or it might turn out to be a cryptic species complex. On the other hand, its separation might render Pyla paraphyletic, in which case it would not be warranted. More research is required to resolve this question.
Euzophera pinguis, the tabby knot-horn, is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811 and is found in Europe.
Pempeliella ornatella is a moth of the family Pyralidae described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found in most of Europe, east to the Ural, Siberia, central Yakutia and Kyrgyzstan.
Cochylis hybridella is a moth species of the family Tortricidae. It is found in most of Europe, the Near East, China, Japan, Korea and Russia.
Cryptoblabes bistriga is a species of snout moth in the genus Cryptoblabes. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. It is found in most of Europe, except Portugal, parts of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine.
Acrobasis advenella is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis. It was described by Johann Zincken in 1818 and is found in most of Europe. They have an oligophagous diet primarily feeding on plants from the Rosaceae family including the black chokeberry. They cause significant damage to organic chokeberry farming, due to their widespread impact on the quality and quantity of the black chokeberry plants.
Delplanqueia dilutella is a species of moth in the family Pyralidae. It was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found in most of Europe, east to Russia, Turkey, Iran and Mongolia.
Hypsopygia glaucinalis is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It is sometimes placed in the genus Orthopygia either alone or with a few other species. Being the type species of Orthopygia, as soon as O. glaucinalis is placed in Ocrasa"Orthopygia" is abolished. To further complicate matters, Ocrasa is now mostly treated as a synonym or subgenus of Hypsopygia.
Opsitycha squalidella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. This species is native to Australia and is likely adventive to New Zealand.
