  • Agriphila

    grass-veneer moths

    Agriphila is a genus of small crambid moths comprising approximately 40 species distributed across temperate Eurasia and adjacent regions. Species were historically classified under the related genus Crambus until the mid-20th century, when Agriphila gained wider taxonomic recognition. Several species are economically significant as pests of cereal crops, particularly wheat. The genus has become a subject of genomic research, with published genome sequences for A. straminella and A. tristella.
