Crambinae

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.

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 status, as Crambini.

Crambinae taxonomy

Former genera

gollark: Which is basically what I want! But they wouldn't, probably, if they had some exposed module ports on the back.
gollark: 1. they are not mutually exclusive, it's been done2. I want *some amount* of waterproofing
gollark: I don't really care much about waterproofing as long as a phone is able to resist... briefly having water dropped on it, and use in rain, which mine can.
gollark: Well, that would be nice, though for reasons of waterproofing I'd probably want them to not be hot-swappable.
gollark: Somewhat modular isn't, but that... never really happened.
