Crambini
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta, as well as genetic analyses. Taxonomy (biology), Taxonomists' opinions differ as to the correct placement of the Crambidae, some authorities treating them as a subfamily of the family Pyralidae. If this is done, the present group would be demoted to tribe (biology), tribe status, as Crambini.

Parapediasia Teterrellus
''Parapediasia teterrellus'', the bluegrass webworm moth, bluegrass webworm, bluegrass sod webworm moth or bluegrass sod webworm, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The wingspan is about 21 mm. Adults are on wing from May to October in two generations per year. The larvae feed on ''Poa'' species, ''Festuca arundinacea'' and occasionally ''Cynodon dactylon''. Full-grown larvae overwinter within a silk-lined tunnel in the soil or thatch. ''Parapediasia teterrellus'' was first described in 1821 from Georgia, one of the first pyralid moths recorded in North America. Its geographic distribution has been affected by the human colonization of North America. By the late 1800s, ''Parapediasia teterrellus'' encompassed the midwestern United States. It was recorded in Albuquerque, NM and Tucson, AZ in 1935-1940, Los Angeles in 1954, and the San Francisco Bay area in 1988. It has effectively replaced its lawn moth competitors ''Tehama bonifatella'' and ''Crambus sperryellus'' in urban ...
