Patania silicalis, the herbivorous pleuroptya moth, is a moth in the Spilomelinae subfamily of the Crambidae family. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854.[1] It is found in Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Cuba,[2]Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and North America, where it has been recorded from Missouri, Michigan, Ohio and New York, south to Florida.[3]
The wingspan is 24–26 millimetres (0.94–1.02 in). The forewings range from yellowish gray to orangish with dark gray antemedial and postmedial lines, as well as a discal spot in a dark gray crescent. The hindwings have a similar color and have similar markings, but lack an antemedial line. Adults are on wing in summer in North America.[4]
The larvae feed on Polygonum[5], Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea setifera, Merremia umbellata, Rivina humilis, Bougainvillea spectabilis and Boehmeria nivea.[6]
