Abstract
Data on the distribution of 20 species of moths from the families Crambidae and Pyralidae in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, are presented, with notes on their host plants and general distribution. Of these, 19 species, as well as the genus Pseudosacada Singh, Kirti et Ranjan, 2020, are recorded for the region for the first time. Agrioglypta excelsalis (Walker, 1866) is recorded for the first time for India. Most of the listed species are important agricultural and forest pests.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
