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.
Euchromius
A genus of grass-veneer moths in the family Crambidae, established by Guenée in 1845. Species are distributed across all continents except South-East Asian islands, with highest diversity in the Palaearctic region, Africa, and the Near and Middle East. Several species are migratory and can establish temporary populations outside their core ranges. Larvae are primarily detritivores, feeding on dead plant material near the base of grasses and other plants.
