Aulacodes
Aulacodes is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, first described by Achille Guenée in 1854. The genus comprises approximately 40 described species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions, primarily in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Species were historically classified in the subfamily Hydrocampinae, though modern Crambidae taxonomy has restructured many of these groups. The genus is distinguished from related crambid genera by specific wing venation patterns and genitalia characteristics, though detailed biological studies of most species remain limited.
