Laniifera is a genus of snout moths in the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1899 with Pachynoa cyclades <small>Druce, 1895</small> as type species.
The caterpillars of Laniifera cyclades feed on Opuntia (prickly pear cactuses) and are considered a pest of commercially grown Opuntia species.
The genus with its two species is distributed in Mexico, the southern United States (Arizona, Texas) and the Dominican Republic.
