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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
