Subfamily Pyralinae

Hypsopygia nigrapuncta ( Kaye, 1901)

I have not located the type, and this identification was by comparison with the USNM series. This spe- cies was placed in Dolichomia , which is now a synonym of Hypsopygia (Leraut 2006) . It may prove to be a synonym of H. resectalis (Lederer) .

Hillsborough Dam , black light: ♀ 21 Mar 1979 (D. Hardy & W. Rowe) [ USNM] ; Charlotteville , black light: ♂, 2♀ 14–21 Mar 1979 (D. Hardy & W. Rowe) [ USNM] ; Charlotteville , at light: 2♀ 15–19 Jun 1998 (Roger Hammond & Piers Meynell) [ UWIZM.CABI.7468, NHMUK] ; ♂ (+ 3♂ discarded) 14–18 Jun 1999 (Roger Hammond) [ MJWC] ; Nr. Speyside , MVL: ♂ 16 May 1982 (M.J.W. Cock) [ MJWC]

Hypsopygia nostralis (Guenée, 1854)

Identified by comparison with the type (NHMUK) and NHMUK series. This species was placed in Ocrasa , which is now a synonym of Hypsopygia (Leraut 2006) . It was previously considered a pantropical sorghum pest, but Leraut (2006) restricted the application of this name to the Americas, and recognised five other geographically separated Old World species.

Charlotteville , at light: ♀ 15–19 Jun 1998 (Roger Hammond & Piers Meynell) [ MJWC] ; 3♂ 14–18 Jun 1999 (Roger Hammond) [ MJWC] ; Crown Point , at light: ♂ 15–17 May 1981 (M.J.W. Cock) [ MJWC] ; Speyside , MVL: ♀ 14–17 May 1981 (M.J.W. Cock) [ MJWC]
