Crambus bidens
forked grass-veneer
Crambus bidens, commonly known as the forked grass-veneer, is a small moth in the family Crambidae. It was first described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1872. The species is distributed across northeastern and north-central North America, with records from Massachusetts, New York, Ontario, New Jersey, Quebec, Michigan, Vermont, and Alberta. Its primary habitat is bogs.
Crambus watsonellus
Watson's Grass-veneer
Crambus watsonellus is a North American grass-veneer moth described by Alexander Barrett Klots in 1942. It is restricted to marshy habitats across a scattered distribution in eastern and central North America. The species is one of approximately 250 recognized species in the genus Crambus.
Crambus youngellus
Young's Grass-veneer
Crambus youngellus, known as Young's Grass-veneer, is a small moth species in the family Crambidae. It was described by William D. Kearfott in 1908. The species is restricted to northeastern North America, with records from the northeastern United States and southern Ontario. As a member of the grass-veneer group, it likely shares ecological associations with grasses and sedges typical of the genus Crambus, though specific natural history details remain poorly documented.
Donacaula n-sp-eight
Donacaula n-sp-eight is an undescribed species within the genus Donacaula, a group of crambid moths commonly known as grass-veneers. Species in this genus are associated with wetland and grassland habitats, though specific ecological data for this undescribed taxon remain unverified. The genus Donacaula is characterized by elongated bodies and narrow wings adapted for movement through dense vegetation.
Eoreuma densellus
Wainscot Grass-veneer
Eoreuma densellus, commonly known as the wainscot grass-veneer, is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was first described by Zeller in 1881. The species is found in eastern and central North America, with adults active from spring through fall and year-round in Florida. The average adult length is 12.5 mm.
Fissicrambus
Grass-veneers
Fissicrambus is a genus of grass-veneer moths in the family Crambidae, established by Bleszynski in 1963. The genus contains approximately 17 described species distributed primarily in North America. Several species, notably F. mutabilis, are recognized as agricultural pests of turfgrass, wheat, and corn. Larvae are commonly known as sod webworms due to their habit of constructing silk-lined burrows in soil.
Microcrambus
Microcrambus is a genus of grass-veneer moths in the family Crambidae, subfamily Crambinae. The genus was established by Polish lepidopterist Stanisław Błeszyński in 1963 and contains approximately 50 described species distributed primarily in the Americas. Species in this genus are small moths characterized by narrow wings and relatively simple wing patterns. Many species were originally described in other genera and later transferred to Microcrambus based on genitalic and external morphological characters.
Microcrambus kimballi
Kimball's Grass-veneer
Microcrambus kimballi is a small grass-veneer moth in the family Crambidae, described by Alexander Barrett Klots in 1968. It is found in the southeastern and eastern United States, with records from nine states ranging from Maryland to Texas. The species has a wingspan of 14 mm and exhibits extended adult activity from February through November.
Microcrambus minor
Minor Grass-veneer
Microcrambus minor is a grass-veneer moth in the family Crambidae, first described by W. T. M. Forbes in 1920. It is widely distributed across eastern and central North America, with records spanning from Canada to the southern United States. The species is currently considered a synonym of Microcrambus immunellus according to Catalogue of Life and GBIF. As a member of the subfamily Crambinae, it belongs to a group commonly known as grass-veneers or grass moths, many of which are associated with grassy habitats.
