Pempelia palumbella is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It is found in Europe.
The wingspan is 25–27 millimetres (0.98–1.06 in). [1] The forewings are violet-brown, more or less sprinkled with whitish and dark fuscous, suffused with whitish towards costa between lines and on apex; first and second lines pale red-brownish, internally black-edged, first angulated, preceded by a small spot of blackish raised scales on fold, second twice indented; a rather oblique black discal mark. The hindwings are light fuscous, darker terminally. The larva is dark greenish-grey, reddish-tinged; dorsal line brownish, pale-edged; subdorsal double, lighter brownish; head reddish brown: in tubular webs on Erica and Polygala [2] [3] [4] [5]
The moth flies in one generation from May to September.
The caterpillars feed on calluna, ericaceae species, thyme and polygalaceae species.

Nephopterix angustella is a moth of the family Pyralidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1796. It is found in Europe.
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.

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.
