Ocrasa

Ocrasa is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus is mostly treated as a synonym of Hypsopygia. If considered valid, the genus includes many species which were formerly included in Herculia. In addition, the proposed genus Orthopygia, which some authors consider a separate (and sometimes monotypic) lineage is here merged with Ocrasa. The latter two genera are also mostly merged with Hypsopygia however. ==Selected species== * Ocrasa acerasta * Ocrasa albidalis Walker, [1866] * Ocrasa chytriodes (Turner, 1911) * Ocrasa decoloralis (Lederer, 1863) * Ocrasa fulvocilialis – sometimes still in Herculia * Ocrasa glaucinalis – sometimes in Orthopygia * Ocrasa nannodes – sometimes in Orthopygia * Ocrasa nostralis (Guenée, 1854) * Ocrasa placens – sometimes in Orthopygia * Ocrasa repetita (Butler, 1887) * Ocrasa tripartialis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1871)
