# Pyraustinae

Pyraustinae es una numerosa subfamilia de lepidópteros de la familia Crambidae. Incluye 1400 especies. La mayoría son tropicales con unas en regiones templadas de Norte América y Europa.
Originalmente incluían a Spilomelinae como una tribu Spilomelini; la más numerosa dentro de Pyraustina. La taxonomía de Pyraustinae aun no está perfectamente clara. Pero es posible que el número de especies siga creciendo a pesar de la pérdida de su grupo más numeroso, Spilomelinae.
Las opiniones de los taxónomos varían. Originalmente Pyraustinae estaba ubicada dentro de Pyralidae, pero ahora se la considera una subfamilia de Crambidae.
Se caracterizan por espínulas atrofiadas y una vénula en el órgano timpánico; un surco longitudinal con escamas androconiales en las tibias de las patas mesotorácicas del macho.
Muchas especies tienen larvas que barrenan los tallos y frutas de plantas. Algunos son plagas graves, especialmente los del género Ostrinia.
