Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hemiptilocera is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Ragonot in 1888, and contains the species H. chionographella. It is known from Peru.The Pyralidae or snout moths are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many (particularly older) classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of pyraloidea.
