Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1845.[2] The currently known 216 species are present on all continents except Antarctica.[1] About 41 species are native to Hawaii.[3]

Systematics

edit

The genus is placed in the tribe Udeini, where it is closest related to the genera Mnesictena, Deana and Udeoides.[3][4] In the past, Mnesictena was included in Udea,[5] but it is currently considered a separate genus comprising seven species.[1]

The North American, European and African Udea species have been treated in several studies, and a number of species groups has been proposed (see below).[3][6][7][8][9]
