Epipaschiinae
Small to medium-sized (
20–35 mm
wingspan) moths. Th ey can be distinguished from all other pyralids by the distinctively upturned and elongated last segment of the labial palps. Larvae are leafrollers, leaftiers, and leafminers.
Approximately 570 species of
Epipaschiinae
are known worldwide, from tropical and temperate regions except Europe. Forty-nine species are known from North America, four of which are reported in AB. Western hemisphere members of the group were treated by
Holland
and Schaus (1925)
; a few more species have been added to the North American fauna since that time.
Solis (1991
,
1993
) provides modern taxonomic treatment of a few species.

Phycitinae
Mostly small to medium-sized (
10–30 mm
wingspan, a few up to
50 mm
wingspan) moths with drably colored wings. Th ey can usually be separated from other pyralids by the wing shape and pattern. Th e forewings are relatively narrow and are usually predominantly gray, with diffuse transverse bands of black and white scales on the forewings. The hindwings are fan shaped and silky cream or gray. Most larvae are leafrollers; a few feed within silken tubes, are borers in a variety of plant parts, or feed on dry materials. Several are of economic importance, such as the coneworms (
Dioryctria
spp.), which affect conifers, and a number of pests of stored products. A few large species are borers in cacti. The
Phycitinae
is a large group, with approximately 4000 species known from throughout the world. At last count, 530 species were known from North America; 74 species are reported in AB. Th e majority of species have been treated recently by
Neunzig (1986
,
1990
,
1997
,
2003
). Most of the remaining species were covered in the older comprehensive work by
Heinrich (1956)
or by
Shaffer (1968)
