Catopyla is a monotypic snout moth genus described by John David Bradley in 1968. Its only species, Catopyla dysorphnaea, was described by the same author in the same year[2] and is known from Nigeria.[1]
The larvae feed on maize, Khaya ivorensis and Lovoa trichilioides. At first, they feed within individual seeds, but then move from fruit to fruit.[3]
