Glaucocharis is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Edward Meyrick in 1938.
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.
Ancylolomia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Calamotropha is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Chilo is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. Some of these moths are called borers.
Chrysoteuchia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Most are native to Asia.
Eristena is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Eschata is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Euchromius is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1845.
Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
Metaeuchromius is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1845. The currently known 214 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Paracymoriza 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.
Roxita is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
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.
Agonopterix is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is placed in the family Depressariidae, which was often – particularly in older treatments – considered a subfamily of the Oecophoridae or included in the Elachistidae.
Endotricha is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847.
Stericta is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Julius Lederer in 1863.
