Pyrausta Schrank, 1802

A widely distributed genus comprising 284 species (Nuss et al., 2014). The larvae web and often roll leaves, shoots, and flowers head of a variety of herbaceous plants, but most of the species were reared from Lamiaceae (Munroe, 1976) . Three species occur in the Galápagos. The moths are generally small and slender and the valva of the male genitalia usually bears a single basally directed or recurved setose or scaled clasper (Munroe, 1976).
