Donacaula is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1890.
Four species of this genus are represented in the Palearctic region, four species in Africa, two species in the Oriental region, seven species in the Neotropical region and twenty-one in the Nearctic region. [2]
The species below were described in an unpublished doctoral dissertation by Edda Lis Martínez in 2010. [3] [4]
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta, as well as genetic analyses.
Argyrostola is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by George Hampson in 1896. It contains only one species, Argyrostola ruficostalis, which is found in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and in Panama.
Calamotropha is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Parapoynx is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths. They are primarily Neotropical and include about 400 described species.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. More than 720 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
Pococera is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Epipaschiinae, found mainly in North and Central America. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1848.
Acentropinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. Species of this subfamily are exclusively found in wetlands and aquatic habitats.
Schoenobiinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. The subfamily was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1846.
Donacaula aquilella is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Donacaula longirostrallus, the long-beaked donacaula moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.
Donacaula melinella is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by James Brackenridge Clemens in 1860. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
Donacaula montivagellus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1863. It is found in Venezuela and Cuba.
Donacaula nitidellus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1917. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
Donacaula pallulellus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1912. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arizona, California, New York and Texas.
Donacaula roscidellus, the brown donacaula moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1917. It is found in Mexico (Veracruz) and the United States, where it has been recorded from Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Donacaula sicarius is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1863. It is found in Venezuela.
Donacaula tripunctellus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Robinson in 1870. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas.
Donacaula uxorialis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1921. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida and Texas.
Donacaula was revised by Martinez (2010) in an unpublished dissertation, therefore the new scientific names are not available until they are published.
