:''Not to be confused with the rice worm moth (''Apamea apamiformis'') of family Noctuidae.'' The rice moth (''Corcyra cephalonica'') is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It is – as far as is known – the only living species of the genus ''Corcyra''. This small moth can become a significant pest. Its caterpillars feed on dry plantstuffs such as seeds, including cereals (e.g. rice). Other recorded〔Grabe (1942)〕 foods are flour and dried fruits. ==Synonyms== Other scientific names, now invalid, for the rice moth are:〔See references in Savela (2009)〕 * ''Anerastia lineata'' Legrand, 1965 * ''Corcyra translineella'' Hampson, 1901 * ''Melissoblaptes cephalonica'' Stainton, 1866 * ''Melissoblaptes oeconomellus'' Mann, 1872 * ''Tineopsis theobromae'' Dyar, 1913 When describing his ''T. theobromae'' in 1913, Dyar established the genus ''Tineopsis''. He overlooked, however, that this had already been proposed by Cajetan Freiherr von Felder for a (presumed) arctiid moth in 1861. Nonwithstanding that Felder's species is somewhat dubious and has not been identified in recent lists, Dyar's ''Tineopsis'' is a junior homonym and thus invalid in any case.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rice moth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
