Cadra
''Cadra'' is a genus of small moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus ''Ephestia'' is closely related to ''Cadra'' and might be its senior synonym. Several of these moths are variously assigned to one or the other genus, in particular in non-entomological sources. ''Cadra'' and ''Ephestia'' belong to the huge snout moth subfamily Phycitinae, and therein to the tribe Phycitini. ''Cadra'' species can usually be recognized by their reduced forewing venation: veins 4, 7 and 9 are missing, making for a total of nine veins in the forewing. Some members of this genus are significant pests of dry plant produce, such as seeds and nuts. The almond moth (''C. cautella'') is a well-known example of these. Species Species of ''Cadra'' include: * ''Cadra abstersella'' (Zeller, 1847) * ''Cadra acuta'' Horak, 1994 * ''Cadra calidella'' ( Guenée, 1845) – dried fruit moth, carob moth * ''Cadra cautella'' – almond moth * ''Cadra corniculata'' Horak, 1994 * ''Cadra delattin ...

Almond Moth
The almond moth or tropical warehouse moth (''Cadra cautella'') is a small, stored-product pest (organism), pest. Almond moths infest flour, bran, oats, and other Cereal, grains, as well as dried fruits. It belongs to the family (biology), family of snout moths (Pyralidae), and more specifically to the tribe (biology), tribe Phycitini of the huge snout moth subfamily Phycitinae. This species may be confused with the related Indian mealmoth (''Plodia interpunctella'') or the Mediterranean flour moth (''Ephestia kuehniella)'', which are also common pantry pests in the same subfamily. Other common names, particularly in nonbiological literature, are dried currant moth and fig moth, which invite confusion with the close relatives ''Cadra figulilella'' (raisin moth) and ''Cadra calidella'' (dried fruit moth). Like the raisin moth, the almond moth has achieved an essentially cosmopolitan distribution due to inadvertent transport with food products in its larval form. Adults live for abo ...

Cadra Calidella
''Cadra calidella'', the dried fruit or date moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus ''Cadra'' and commonly mistaken for the species ''Cadra figulilella.'' It thrives in warmer conditions and is found primarily in Mediterranean countries, although it can also be found in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Transcaucasia, Caucasus, and the western part of Russia. It feeds on dried fruits, carobs, nuts and seeds, hence earning its colloquial name. This diet damages the food industry, and it is a common storage pest. Because of this, much research has been done to study ways to limit its reproduction rate and population size. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1845. Taxonomy and phylogenetics ''Cadra calidella'' (Guen.) is a member of the family ''Pyralidae''. A synonym is ''Ephestia calidella''—''Cadra'' and ''Ephestia'' are closely related and may be junior synonyms. The names are often used interchangeably, and typically both are used to reference the same organism. De ...

Cadra Figulilella
''Cadra figulilella'', the raisin moth, is a moth of the family Pyralidae. The raisin moth is known most commonly as a pest that feeds on dried fruits, such as the raisin and date. It covers a range that includes much of the world, primarily situating itself in areas of California, Florida, the Eastern Mediterranean region, and some parts of Africa, Australia, and South America.Phelan, P.

Pyralidae
The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many (particularly older) classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe and Maria Alma Solis retain the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea. The wingspans for small and medium-sized species are usually between with variable morphological features. It is a diverse group, with more than 6,000 species described worldwide, and more than 600 species in America north of Mexico, comprising the third largest moth family in North America. At least 42 species have been recorded from North Dakota in the subfamilies of Pyralidae. Relationship with humans Most of these small moths are inconspicuous. Many are economically important pests, including waxworms, which are the caterpillar ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Marianne Horak
Marianne Horak (born 1944) is a Swiss-Australian entomologist who specialises in Australian Lepidoptera, particularly the phycitine and tortricid moths. She also did important research on the scribbly gum moths, during which eleven new species of ''Ogmograptis'' were discovered. Horak was born in Glarus, Switzerland where she was inspired to study entomology from her childhood growing up in a valley in the Alps. She studied at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich, earning her M.Sc. in 1970 and Ph.D. in 1983. She did extensive field work in New Zealand (1967–69), New Guinea (1971–73), and Indonesia (1985) before settling permanently in Australia. She is the current editor-in-chief of ''Monographs of Australian Lepidoptera'', chairperson of the Australian Lepidoptera Research Endowment, and honorary research fellow in Lepidoptera systematics at the Australian National Insect Collection at CSIRO, where she works as Lepidoptera curator and was head of Lepidoptera ...
