          Abstract

          Pyraloidea, the third largest superfamily of the Lepidoptera, is comprised of two families - Pyralidae and Crambidae. The history of families previously placed in the Pyraloidea is discussed. The group now includes about 16,000 species worldwide. Morphologically, the superfamily is defined by a basally scaled proboscis and the presence of abdominal tympanal organs. The larvae of many species are economically important pests of crops (e. g.: sugarcane, corn, rice), and stored products such as seeds and grains. Currently 22 subfamilies comprise the Pyraloidea; only the 19 subfamilies that occur in the Western Hemisphere are discussed. There is a paucity of recent research using cladistic methods and phylogenetic analyses across all taxa.

          Pyraloidea, la tercera superfamilia más grande de Lepidoptera, está compuesta por dos familias Pyralidae y Crambidae. Se discute la historia de las familias previamente ubicadas en Pyraloidea. Actualmente el grupo incluye cerca de 16.000 especies en el mundo. Morfológicamente, la superfamilia se define por una proboscis con escamas basales y por la presencia de órganos timpánicos abdominales. Las larvas de muchas especies son plagas de cultivos económicamente importantes (p. ej.: caña de azúcar, maíz, arroz) y de productos almacenados tales como granos y semillas. Actualmente los Pyraloidea comprenden 22 subfamilias, solo se discuten las 19 subfamilias que se encuentran en el hemisferio occidental. Hay pocas investigaciones recientes que usen métodos cladísticos y análisis filogenéticos en todos los taxones.

            A Classification of the Lepidoptera Based on Characters of the Pupa

            The purpose of the present investigation is to present such a classification as far as material has been available for study. There is also an attempt to throw some light on the relationships existing between the different groups.
