The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths (family Pyralidae).[1] More than 720 species are known today,[2] which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
