Asciodini
Asciodini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Richard Mally, James E. Hayden, Christoph Neinhuis, Bjarte H. Jordal and Matthias Nuss in 2019. Asciodini currently comprises 79 species in the following 13 genera: *'' Arthromastix'' Warren, 1890 *''Asciodes'' Guenée, 1854 *'' Beebea'' Schaus, 1923 *'' Bicilia'' Amsel, 1956 *'' Ceratocilia'' Amsel, 1956 *'' Ceratoclasis'' Lederer, 1863 (= ''Ceratoclassis'' Hulst, 1886) *'' Erilusa'' Walker, 1866 *'' Laniifera'' Hampson, 1899 *'' Laniipriva'' Munroe, 1976 *'' Loxomorpha'' Amsel, 1956 (= ''Chrysobotys'' Munroe, 1956) *'' Maracayia'' Amsel, 1956 *''Psara'' Snellen, 1875 (= ''Epichronistis'' Meyrick, 1886) *''Sathria ''Sathria'' is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae The Crambidae are the grass moth family of lepidopterans.

Spilomelinae
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. Description Imagines – the adult life stage – vary considerably in size: the forewing span ranges from 11.5 mm e.g. in ''Metasia'' to 50 mm in the robust-bodied '' Eporidia''. In resting position, the moths exhibit a characteristic triangular shape, with the wings usually folded over the abdomen, the forewings covering the hindwings. Some Spilomelinae diverge from this common resting pattern, like ''Maruca'' with widely spread wings, and ''Atomopteryx'' and ''Lineodes'' with narrow wings folded along the body. All Spilomelinae moths have well developed compound eyes, antennae and mouthparts, although in the genera ''Niphopyralis'' and ''Siga'' the proboscis is lost. Synapomorphic characters of the subfamily comprise minute or obsolete maxillary palpi, ve ...

Asciodes
''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. Distribution and habitat The five species are distributed from the southern United States (California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, South Carolina) and Mexico over the Caribbean (Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Lesser Antilles) to the tropical and subtropical South America (Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador). Behaviour and ecology Like other Asciodini, caterpillars of ''Asciodes'' commonly feed on Caryophyllales. So far, only the food plants of ''Asciodes gordialis'' larvae have been recorded, which are mostly ''Bougainvillea'', ''Mirabilis'' and ''Pisonia'' (all in the Nyctaginaceae family), but also non-Caryophyllales like ''Citrus'' (Rutaceae) and ''Manihot esculenta'' (Euphorbiaceae Euphorbiaceae, the spurge family, is a large family of flowering plants. In English, they are ...
