Catharylla is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It has Neotropical distribution from Costa Rica to southern Brazil.
== Taxonomy == The genus Catharylla was erected in 1863 by the German entomologist Philipp Christoph Zeller. In 1922, the American entomologist William Schaus designated Catharylla tenellus as the type species of the genus. The genus has traditionally been placed in the tribe Argyriini, but phylogenetic analyses do not support this placement. Instead, the genus seems to be most closely related to Micrelephas.
