Nagiella is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It was established by Eugene G. Munroe in 1964 as a replacement name for NagiaWalker, 1866, a name that was preoccupied by Nagia Walker, 1858 in the Lepidoptera family Erebidae.
The six species of Nagiella are distributed in East and Southeast Asia as well as the Indian subcontinent. [1]
The caterpillars of Nagiella inferior have been recorded on Coffea liberica in the Rubiaceae family. [2]
In the past, the genus was considered a synonym of Pleuroptya , until in 2017 a taxonomic revision showed that Nagiella is not identical with Pleuroptya and was reinstated as a valid genus. [4]
Nagiella is placed in the tribe Agroterini of the subfamily Spilomelinae. [6]
The type species, Nagia desmialis Walker, 1865, is now considered a synonym of Nagiella quadrimaculalis(Kollar & Redtenbacher, 1844), which was described earlier and therefore has priority over the younger name. [1]
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Asciodes is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1854 with Asciodes gordialis as type species.
Bacotoma is a genus of moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It currently comprises 11 species, with an Oriental and Australasian distribution ranging from India and Sri Lanka over China and Southeast Asia to Australia.
Charitoprepes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It is placed in the species-rich tribe Margaroniini in the subfamily Spilomelinae.
Conogethes is a genus of moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The currently 17 recognized species are distributed in the Indomalayan and Australasian realm.
Mabra is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It is placed in the tribe Portentomorphini of the subfamily Pyraustinae. The nine species of the genus are mainly distributed in tropical Asia, but M. metallescens and M. russoi are found in tropical Central and South America.
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 216 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Loxocorys is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1894, and has long been considered a synonym of Luma before it was reinstated as genus with the sole species Loxocorys sericea . A phylogenetic analysis showed that Loxocorys is placed in the Spilomelinae tribe Wurthiini, and in genitalia morphology it shares similarities with Niphopyralis.
Palpita is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. Members of the moth genus Stemorrhages may be very similar in appearance.
Placosaris is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Pyraustinae of the family Crambidae. It is placed in the tribe Pyraustini.
Sisyracera is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It was described in 1890 by Heinrich Benno Möschler with Leucinodes preciosalis as type species, now considered a synonym of Sisyracera subulalis. The genus has been placed in the tribe Udeini.
Terastia is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854 with Terastia meticulosalis as type species. The genus is currently placed in the tribe Margaroniini, where it is closely related to the genera Agathodes and Liopasia.
