Pyraustinae
Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes about 1,280 species Most of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe. The Pyraustinae were originally including the Spilomelinae; the present group was at that time considered a tribe Pyraustini. It has not been fully established yet which taxa of the Pyraustinae ''sensu lato'' belong to Pyraustinae as currently understood; thus the number of species in this subfamily is set to increase (although the Spilomelinae are the larger group of the old Pyraustinae). Taxonomists' opinions differ as to the correct placement of the Crambidae, some authorities treating them as a subfamily (Crambinae) of the family Pyralidae. If this is done, Pyraustinae is usually treated as a separate subfamily within Pyralidae. Pyraustinae are currently subdivided into three tribes: Euclastini, Portentomorphini and Pyraustini.

Euclastini
Euclastini is a Tribe (biology), tribe of the subfamily Pyraustinae in the moth Family (biology), family Crambidae. The taxon was initially erected by Popescu-Gorj & Constantinescu in 1977 for the genus ''Euclasta (moth), Euclasta''. Description Adult Euclastini are moths with narrow wings folded over the body in resting position, with the front of the body raised up by long, slender legs while the tip of the Abdomen#Arthropoda, abdomen is held close to the ground. In this, they resemble moths of the genus ''Lineodes''. The tribe is characterised by a number of Apomorphy and synapomorphy, synapomorphies, particularly in the morphology of the genitalia. The male genitalia feature a bulbous uncus head bearing multisetose setae (in ''Euclasta'') or simple and tune fork-shaped setae (in ''Afreuclasta''); the valvae are trapezoid or elongate tongue-shaped and lack a fibula. In the female genitalia, a membranous appendix bursae is emerging from the Anatomical terms of location#Anterio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spilomelinae
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,180 described species in 351 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloidea, 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 Insect morphology#Compound eyes and ocelli, compound eyes, Insect morphology#Antennae, antennae and Insect mouthparts, mouthparts, although in the genera ''Niphopyralis'' and ''Siga'' the proboscis i ...

Portentomorphini
Portentomorphini is a tribe of the subfamily Pyraustinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was initially erected by Hans Georg Amsel in 1956. Description Adult Portentomorphini are relatively small moths with a forewing length of , or a wingspan of . The forewing maculation is usually of a yellow colour, but often exhibits a distinctively red or orange postmedial (outer) area. The tribe is characterised by a number of synapomorphies, particularly in the morphology of the genitalia. The male genitalia are rather unique among Pyraustinae and Crambidae in general in having the costa detached from the valva and projecting freely in a dorsal direction, with the apex bearing a field of setae. The valva mostly is reduced to the large, membranous sacculus, which reaches far out and ends in a setose field. A thin and elongate, often articulated fibula of curved shape emerges from the centre of the dorsal valva edge, reaching in a dorsal direction. The narrow uncus wi ...

Crambidae
Crambidae comprises the grass moth family of lepidopterans. They are variable in appearance, with the nominal subfamily Crambinae (grass moths) taking up closely folded postures on grass stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly coloured and patterned insects that rest in wing-spread attitudes. In many classifications, the Crambidae have been treated as a subfamily of the Pyralidae or snout moths. The principal difference is a structure in the tympanal organs called the praecinctorium, which joins two tympanic membranes in the Crambidae, and is absent from the Pyralidae. The latest review by Munroe and Solis, in Kristensen (1999), retains the Crambidae as a full family. The family currently comprises 15 subfamilies with altogether 10,347 species in over 1,000 genera.

Saucrobotys Futilalis
''Saucrobotys futilalis'', the dogbane saucrobotys moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Julius Lederer in 1863. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from the north-east to British Columbia and south to Texas and California. The length of the forewings is 14–16 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July.
