Phidotricha
Phidotricha is a genus of snout moths (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Epipaschiinae) established by Ragonot in 1889. The genus includes at least one economically significant species, Phidotricha erigens, which was first documented as a coffee pest in Amazonian Robusta plantations in Rondônia, Brazil. Members of this genus are associated with tropical agricultural ecosystems, with larvae feeding on reproductive structures of host plants.
