Sitotroga
Sitotroga is a genus of small moths in the family Gelechiidae, with five recognized species. The genus is best known for Sitotroga cerealella, commonly called the Angoumois grain moth, a significant stored-product pest of cereal grains. Species in this genus are routinely mass-reared in laboratory and insectary settings as factitious hosts for parasitoid wasps used in biological control programs, particularly Trichogramma chilonis.
