Hymenia
Hawaiian beet webworm moth (for H. recurvalis)
Hymenia is a genus of crambid moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae, established by Hübner in 1825. The genus includes at least three described species: Hymenia perspectalis (Hübner, 1796), Hymenia nigerrimalis (Hampson, 1900), and Hymenia lophoceralis (Hampson, 1912). The most extensively studied species is Hymenia recurvalis, commonly known as the Hawaiian beet webworm, which has become a significant agricultural pest of leafy vegetables and weeds across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
