Toripalpus breviornatalis is a species of snout moth, and type species of the genus Toripalpus . [1] It is found in the U.S. states of Texas, Oklahoma and Florida. [2]

Taxonomic history

Both species and genus were first described in 1878 by Augustus Radcliffe Grote. [3] [2]

For a time, Toripalpus was deemed a synonym of Jocara , and the species was included as Jocara breviornatalis in the 1983 Hodges checklist. [2] In 1993, the original genus was revived by M. Alma Solis, [1] [2] with both J. breviornatalis and J. trabalis transferred back to Toripalpus, [1] where they remain placed as of December 2024. [2] [4]
