2026
Renato Ricciardi | Giovanni Benelli | Andrea Lucchi
The honeydew moth Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Milliére, 1867 (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae) is native to the Mediterranean region, but is now widespread in many countries worldwide (Lucchi et al., 2019). It is a highly polyphagous pest, able to feed on more than 80 plant species, including herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees, both wild and of agricultural interest. These include important crops in Mediterranean agriculture, such as the pomegranate (Punica granatum L. 1753), the persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.f. 1782), and the grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. 1753).
