Guides
Blepharomastix
Blepharomastix is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, described by Julius Lederer in 1863. The genus contains approximately 80 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. Many species were described by early 20th century lepidopterists including Hampson, Dyar, and Schaus. The genus is currently treated as a synonym of Lamprosema in some taxonomic databases, reflecting ongoing revisions within the Spilomelinae subfamily.
Gonocausta
Gonocausta is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, subfamily Spilomelinae. The genus was established by Julius Lederer in 1863 and contains five described species distributed in the Americas. Species include G. sabinalis, G. simulata, G. vestigialis, G. voralis, and the type species G. zephyralis. Members of this genus are part of the diverse snout moth fauna of the Neotropical region.
Microthyris
Microthyris is a genus of pyraloid moths in the family Crambidae, subfamily Spilomelinae. The genus was established by Julius Lederer in 1863 and includes seven described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. Species such as Microthyris lelex and Microthyris alvinalis are among the better-documented members. The genus belongs to the diverse grass moth family, though specific ecological details remain limited.
Sathria
Sathria is a genus of snout moths in the family Crambidae, established by Julius Lederer in 1863. The genus contains three described species: Sathria internitalis, Sathria onophasalis, and Sathria simmialis. Members are classified within the subfamily Spilomelinae, a large and diverse group of crambid moths. The genus appears to be relatively poorly represented in collections and observations compared to many other crambid genera.
