The Snout (Hypena proboscidalis) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in Europe in the North to the Arctic Circle. East it ranges across the Palearctic including North Africa East to Japan.In the Alps, it rises to heights of over 1600 metres.Also in India.

The Pyralidae or snout moths are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many (particularly older) classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Munroe & Solis, in Kristensen (1999) retains the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
