The Buttoned
Snout Hypaena rostralis
(Noctuidae, Hypeninae)
is a small and rather inconspicuous insect. It is a relatively uncommon moth,
although possibly under-recorded, and worn or faintly marked individuals may be
difficult to identify to species, although the relatively broad ‘snout’ from
which the vernacular generic name of the Hypeninae
and their allies has been derived is a highly recognisable characteristic in
this species, and the forewings are also comparatively narrow. The larvae are
found on wild and cultivated hops, and the moths hibernate as adults. The
images above have been scanned from old transparencies.
