Crocidosema
''Crocidosema'' is a genus of tortrix moths (family (biology), family Tortricidae) belonging to the tribe (biology), tribe Eucosmini of subfamily Olethreutinae. They are found mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, being especially common in the Neotropics. But some occur elsewhere, such as on the Hawaiian Islands.Baixeras ''et al.'' (2010ab) At least some of them can be recognized by their wing veins. In the hindwings, vein 3 and 4 originate from a common stalk, and are approached by the fifth vein at its end. In the forewings, veins 4-6 converge at the termen. These moths are mostly small and inconspicuous. But ''Crocidosema plebejana, C. plebejana'' is an occasional pest (organism), pest of cotton (and some other mostly Malvaceae, malvaceous plants) and has become widely distributed by trade in agricultural produce, while the lantana flower-cluster moth (''C. lantana'') is employed in ''Lantana'' biocontrol and has been deliberately introduced to some locations.

Crocidosema Plebejana
''Crocidosema plebejana'', the cotton tipworm, is a tortrix moth (family Tortricidae), belonging to tribe Eucosmini of subfamily Olethreutinae. It is found today all over the subtropical and tropical regions of the world and even occurs on many oceanic islands – in Polynesia and Saint Helena for example – but has probably been accidentally introduced to much of its current range by humans. In addition, it is also found in some cooler regions, e.g. in Europe except in the east and north; this is probably also not natural, as it was, for example, not recorded in the British Isles before 1900. It is the type species of its genus ''Crocidosema'', established by Philipp Christoph Zeller when he described the present species in 1847, as he found it unlike any moth then known to science. Description and ecology The wingspan of adults is 12–16 mm. Males are dark brown to black with a white ocellus and dorsal patch. Females are pale brown to tan with a dark basal patch ...

Lantana Flower-cluster Moth
''Crocidosema lantana'', the lantana flower-cluster moth or lantana tortricid moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was first described by August Busck in 1910. It is native to Mexico and the southern United States, but was introduced to Hawaii in 1902, Australia in 1914 and the Caroline Islands in 1948 and 1949 to aid in the control of '' Lantana'' weeds. It has also been recorded from Yunnan, China and in Sri Lanka. The larvae feed in pods of '' Bignonia chrysantha'' and in flower heads, on berries and also bore in tender twigs of '' Lantana'' species. It also feeds in the stem of litchi and in the terminal twigs of ''Tecoma stans ''Tecoma stans'' is a species of flowering perennial shrub in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae, that is native to the Americas.

''Crocidophora'' is a genus of moth Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order.
