Could you please clarify your request? Are you looking for keys to Lepidoptera families, or are you attempting to identify specific members of the family Pyralidae? And are you inquiring about adult moths, caterpillars, or both?

That's a pretty tall order, given the apparent lack of good references from your region. Although it is quite pricey, you might see if you can get access to a copy of "Iranian Entomology: Applied Entomology" (http://tinyurl.com/4gb4lkx); it appears to list a very large number of publications, and you might find some useful leads there. In the meantime, if I can dig up anything else, i will get back to this thread.

I can appreciate the difficulty of your situation and the frustration you must feel. Good on-line keys appear difficult to come by; for adult Lepidoptera, try http://tinyurl.com/4mepy37 - click on the Interactive Key near the top of the page. It’s for Britain, but family characteristics apply worldwide. I have yet to locate a good one for caterpillars; will let you know if I find anything.
