Scirpophaga
''Scirpophaga'' is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1832. Asian species include significant rice stemborer pests. Taxonomy The genus ''Scirpophaga'' was first introduced by Treitschke in 1832 as a monotypic genus; including as single species ''Scirpophaga phantasmatella'' (which he misspelled as ''S. phantasmella'', and which is now known as ''S. praelata''). During most of history this genus has been completely confused, with most specimens being wrongly identified and most taxa being based on a type series containing numerous species. Males and females of the same species were often recognised as two independent species. Almost two centuries after the first species was described, in 1960 the Australian entomologist Ian Francis Bell Common was the first to examine the genitalia (for centuries the standard method by which one determines species in Lepidoptera) of the Australian specimens in this group, recombining and splitting ...

Scirpophaga Nivella
''Scirpophaga nivella'' is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. It is found in southern Asia from the Indian Subcontinent in the west to southern China in the east, south to New Guinea and Australia, including New Caledonia and Fiji. Some sources have affixed the common name "sugarcane top borer" to it, despite it not being found in sugarcane, because they are confused with the species ''Scirpophaga excerptalis'', which is an actual borer in the tops of sugarcane. Another newer common name that has been invented for these moths is "white rice borer". Taxonomy The species was described in 1794 by Johan Christian Fabricius as ''Tinea nivella'', from a specimen collected in India. It was moved to the genus ''Tryporyza'' by Wang in 1980, and a year later it was moved again to the genus ''Scirpophaga'' by the Thai entomologist Angoon Lewvanich. The genus ''Scirpophaga'' was first introduced by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1832 as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
