Glaphyriinae
Glaphyriinae is a subfamily of Crambidae moths described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1923. The subfamily contains approximately 509 species in 75 genera, including well-known genera such as Evergestis and Hellula. Larvae of this subfamily are notable for their specialization on Brassicales plants and their ability to detoxify glucosinolates, chemical defenses produced by these host plants.
