Ocrasa is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Many species nowadays placed here were formerly included in Herculia.[1]

In addition, the proposed genus Orthopygia, which some authors consider a separate (and sometimes monotypic) lineage is here merged with Ocrasa.

  • Ocrasa acerasta
