This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Pyrausta (Greek)
Pyrausta or pyrallis (also called in Greek pyrigonos) is a mythological insect from Cyprus. It is a four-legged insect with filmy wings. It lived in the fire like a salamander and died if it went away from the fire. Janssens identifies it with the Melanophila acuminata.
Pyrausta are animals a little larger than a blue-bottle fly that sport a pair of wings. Most interpretations show them as small, insectoid dragons. Pyrausta lived in the fires of the copper-smelting furnaces of Cyprus. They were able to fly with their wings, but would also hop or crawl through the embers. Pyrausta die instantly if they leave the fire.
