Urodus
Urodus is a genus of moths in the family Urodidae, established by Herrich-Schäffer in 1854. The genus includes species commonly known as webworms, with larvae that construct silk webs on host plants. The best-known species, Urodus parvula (Bumelia Webworm), feeds on Bumelia (Sideroxylon) species. The family Urodidae was previously placed in Yponomeutidae but is now recognized as a distinct lineage within Lepidoptera.
