n family
Crambidae, the crambid snout
moths. It currently includes over 1,400
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.
The Pyraustinae are characterised by atrophied
spinula and
venula
A venule is a very small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows blood to return from the capillary beds to drain into the larger blood vessels, the veins. Venules range from 7μm to 1mm in diameter. Veins contain approximately 70% ...
