Musotiminae
Musotiminae is a subfamily of snout moths (Crambidae) established by Edward Meyrick in 1884. The group comprises approximately 20 genera distributed primarily in tropical and subtropical regions, with notable diversity in the Oriental and Australasian regions. Several species have been studied for their specialized associations with Lygodium climbing ferns, with some investigated as potential biological control agents for invasive fern populations. The subfamily was historically classified within Pyralidae but is now placed in Crambidae.
