Syllepte coelivitta is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866. It is found in Brazil, Suriname, [1] Mexico and Panama. [2]
The Crambidae are the grass moth family of lepidopterans. They are variable in appearance, the nominal subfamily Crambinae taking up closely folded postures on grass stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly coloured and patterned insects which rest in wing-spread attitudes.
The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe and Maria Alma Solis retain the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
The Pyraloidea are a moth superfamily containing about 16,000 described species worldwide, and probably at least as many more remain to be described. They are generally fairly small moths, and as such, they have been traditionally associated with the paraphyletic Microlepidoptera.
Hyblaeidae are the "teak moths", a family of insects in the Lepidopteran order. The two genera with about 18 species make up one of the two families of the Hyblaeoidea superfamily, which in the past has been included in the Pyraloidea. Recent phylogenetic studies find varying relationships of Hyblaeoidea among Ditrysian Lepidoptera: Mutanen et al. (2010) find the superfamily to group either with Pyraloidea, or – more often – with Thyridoidea or butterflies. The results of Wahlberg et al. (2013) and Heikilä et al. (2015) indicate a sister-group relationship with Pyraloidea.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,132 described species in 340 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Cataclysta lemnata, the small china-mark, is a moth species of the family Crambidae. It is found in Europe, Morocco and Iran.
In biological taxonomy, circumscription is the content of a taxon, that is, the delimitation of which subordinate taxa are parts of that taxon. If we determine that species X, Y, and Z belong in Genus A, and species T, U, V, and W belong in Genus B, those are our circumscriptions of those two genera. Another systematist might determine that T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z all belong in genus A. Agreement on circumscriptions is not governed by the Codes of Zoological or Botanical Nomenclature, and must be reached by scientific consensus.
Pyralis manihotalis is a moth of the family Pyralidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
The Galleriinae are a subfamily of snout moths and occur essentially worldwide, in some cases aided by involuntary introduction by humans. This subfamily includes the wax moths, whose caterpillars (waxworms) are bred on a commercial scale as food for pets and as fishing bait; in the wild, these and other species of Galleriinae may also be harmful to humans as pests.
Pioneabathra is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It contains only one species, Pioneabathra olesialis, which is found on the Comoros and the Seychelles and in Mali, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Yemen (Socotra), Zambia, India, Sri Lanka and Australia.
Udeoides is a genus of snout moths of the subfamily Spilomelinae in the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Koen Maes in 2006 and distinguished from the related genus Udea. All six species are distributed in the Afrotropical realm.
Synclera traducalis, the variegated pearl, is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is found in Sweden, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Canary Islands, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Egypt, Mali, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa, La Réunion, India and Sri Lanka.
Glaphyriinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1923. The subfamily currently comprises 509 species in 75 genera.
Scopariinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. The subfamily was described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Tawhitia pentadactylus is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Zeller in 1863. It is found in Australia (Tasmania) and in New Zealand, where it has been recorded from South Island and the southern part of the North Island. The habitat consists of subalpine swamps.
Patania iopasalis is a moth of the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is found in Myanmar, India, Papua New Guinea Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo in Indonesia, Taiwan, China and Philippines.
Ulopeza conigeralis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1852. It is found in Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa and Zambia.
