Margaroniini
Margaroniini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Charles Swinhoe and Everard Charles Cotes in 1889, originally as family Margaronidae. The tribe comprises a number of economically impactful species whose caterpillars feed on agricultural crops. These species include the legume pod borer (''Maruca vitrata''), the jasmine moth (''Palpita vitrealis'') on olives, the cucumber moth (''Diaphania indica''), species of the genus ''Conogethes'' such as the yellow peach moth ('' C. punctiferalis''), and the coconut leafroller ('' Omiodes blackburni''). Furthermore, the box tree moth (''Cydalima perspectalis'') is included in this tribe. Genera The tribe is by far the most species-rich among Spilomelinae. It currently comprises 1107 species in the following 74 genera: *''Agathodes'' Guenée, 1854 (= ''Stenurges'' Lederer, 1863) *''Agrioglypta'' Meyrick, 1932 *''Alytana'' J. C.

Spilomelinae
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloidea, pyraloids. Description Imagines – the adult life stage – vary considerably in size: the forewing span ranges from 11.5 mm e.g. in ''Metasia'' to 50 mm in the robust-bodied ''Eporidia''. In resting position, the moths exhibit a characteristic triangular shape, with the wings usually folded over the abdomen, the forewings covering the hindwings. Some Spilomelinae diverge from this common resting pattern, like ''Maruca'' with widely spread wings, and ''Atomopteryx'' and ''Lineodes'' with narrow wings folded along the body. All Spilomelinae moths have well developed Insect morphology#Compound eyes and ocelli, compound eyes, Insect morphology#Antennae, antennae and Insect mouthparts, mouthparts, although in the genera ''Niphopyralis'' and ''Siga'' the proboscis i ...

Conogethes
''Conogethes'' is a genus of moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The currently 17 recognized species are distributed in the Indomalayan and Australasian realm. The genus contains several species that are considered pests on economically important food plants such as ''Ipomoea'', ''Elettaria'' and ''Curcuma'', on ornamental plants like ''Alpinia'', and on ''Shorea'', ''Dipterocarpus'' and several genera of the pine family, which are used as timber trees. Within Spilomelinae, ''Conogethes'' is placed in the species-rich tribus Margaroniini, where it was found to be closely related to the genera '' Azochis'', '' Ghesquierellana'' and '' Megastes''. Imagines of ''Conogethes'' resemble in their wing pattern those of '' Marwitzia'', the '' Polygrammodes eleuata'' species complex and '' Syllepte incomptalis'', and to a lesser degree ''Dichocrocis'', ''Notarcha'' and '' Trigonobela''.

Legume Pod Borer
''Maruca vitrata'' is a pantropical insect pest of leguminous crops like pigeon pea, cowpea, mung bean and soybean. Its common names include the maruca pod borer, bean pod borer, soybean pod borer, mung moth, and the legume pod borer. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787. It can cause losses of 20–80% on the harvests of cowpeas. Its feeding sites on plants are flower buds, flowers and young pods. In some cases early instars feed on flower peduncles and young stems. Methods for control Biological Some parasitoids have been shown to serve as a biological control for ''Maruca vitrata''. Parasitoid wasps families include Braconidae and Ichneumonidae; some parasitoid flies in the Tachinidae are also natural enemies of the moth. ''M. vitrata'' prefers to lay its eggs on the flowering bodies of the cowpea plant. Efforts have been made to deter ''M. vitrata'' from reproducing on the plant ranging from pesticide Pesticides are substances that ...
