“…He included in Nymphulini the case-making shredders and green-plant tissue feeders, and in Argyractini the free living scrapers and web spinning algae feeders. The division, however, was not found to be an adequate reflection of phylogenetic relationships (Munroe & Solis, 1998) and, thus, is not followed here. Consequently, the genera are listed alphabetically in Table 2.…”

In Lepidoptera, the subfamily Acentropinae and Pyraustinae of Crambidae (Pyraloidea) and the family Arctiidae (Noctuoidea) contain species with true aquatic larvae, which live submerged during larval development. In Pyraustinae and Arctiidae only a few species exhibit an aquatic life-history. From the latter, aquatic larvae are known from the Neotropical genus Paracles. The number of aquatic Paracles species is unknown. The Acentropinae are predominantly aquatic. They are distributed worldwide, and reach the highest diversity in tropical regions of South East Asia/Malesia and in the Neotropical Region. At present, the Acentropinae include a total of 50 genera and 737 described species. All genera, assigned to the subfamily, are listed in a table, and the numbers of included species are indicated. The taxonomy and phylogeney of the genera are inadequately known. The species have a minor economic importance, however, they are very sensitive to degradation of water quality and habitat destruction.

“…Acteniopsis belongs to the subfamily Pyralinae along with more than 1100 species in 134 genera. This subfamily is more diverse in Asia and Africa than in the western hemisphere (Munroe and Solis 1999;Nuss et al 2003Nuss et al -2017. There is no obvious synapomorphic character for this subfamily (Solis and Shaffer 1999).…”

Abstract.A complete description of Acteniopsis gambronensis sp. n. is given based on three males and three females collected in the south of Iran, Hormozgan Province. The female of A. kurdistanella Amsel, 1959 is redescribed and illustrated and new distributional data for this species is also provided. Acteniopsis robustus Asselberges, 2010 is transferred to the genus Stemmatophora Guenée, 1854, S. robustus (Asselbergs, 2010), comb. n. A taxonomic review of the genus Acteniopsis is presented.

“…Munroe (1976) treated the group at tribal level and put it under the subfamily Pyraustinae. This concept was followed by Common (1990), Scoble (1992), Shaffer et al (1996) and Munroe & Solis (1999).…”
