Decaturia

Decaturia is a genus of snout moths (Pyralidae) belonging to the subfamily Phycitinae. These moths are typically small and often cryptically colored, blending in with their surroundings. The genus is found in certain parts of the world, though its exact distribution is not universally documented in all entomological resources. Species within Decaturia are often identified by subtle differences in wing patterns, venation, and genitalia, requiring careful examination by specialists. The larval food sources for many Decaturia species remain undocumented, hindering a complete understanding of their life cycle and ecological role. Taxonomic classification of Decaturia and related genera within the Phycitinae subfamily can be complex and subject to revision as new research and molecular data become available.
