“…Our finding of Hoploscopinae and Musotiminae in different clades speaks in favour for an independent evolution of fern feeding in these two groups. Further cases of fern feeding in Crambidae are known from Diasemiopsis ramburialis (Duponchel, 1833), Herpetogramma platycapna (Meyrick, 1897) , Samea multiplicalis (Guenée, 1854), Udea decrepitalis (Herrich‐Schäffer, 1848) (all Spilomelinae) and Phenacodes aleuropa (Lower, 1903) (Glaphyriinae), and from several Acentropinae feeding on aquatic pteridophytes (Farahpour‐Haghani et al., 2016; Kirk, 1978; Knopf & Habeck, 1976; Lhomme, 1935; see also Mally et al., 2017 for additional fern‐feeding species).…”
