The Pyralinae are a subfamily of snout moths. They comprise more than 900 species worldwide, but most species occur in Asia and Africa.

The meal moth ("Pyralis farinalis") is a cosmopolitan pest of stored food products. Other species are leaf feeders and the larvae of "Pyralis manihotalis" has been reared from bat guano. With the exception of "Cardamyla" and "Embryoglossa", all pyraline females have a short ductus bursae with the corpus bursae barely extending cephalad beyond segment 7.
