Hawaiian Pyraloidea I

The lepidopteran superfamily Pyraloidea is comprised of more than 16,000 species in two families, Crambidae and Pyralidae, making it the world's third largest group of moths and butterflies. The group is taxonomically uncertain, with the phylogenetic placement of many genera, and even some families, still up for debate. The group has an amazing diversity of life histories, and while many are leaf or plant feeders, others prey on scale insects or live among ant and bee colonies. Some are aquatic, others are adapted to extremely dry environments and others still feed on detritus of various sorts. A number of species are economically important. The greatest diversity of these moths is in the tropics, but they are distributed around the world. Two of the defining features of the group are the basally scaled proboscus which the moths sport in addition to their abdominal tympanal organs. The former has earned them the nickname “snout” moths. Please help the UHIM transcribe its collection of diverse and economically important Pyraloidea moths. The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 415, number transcribed is 415 and number validated is 0.

鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）螟蛾总科（Pyraloidea）包含草螟科（Crambidae）与螟蛾科（Pyralidae）两个科，共计超过16000个物种，是全球第三大蛾类与蝶类类群。该类群的分类学地位尚存争议，诸多属乃至部分科的系统发育位置仍未达成共识。其生活史类型极具多样性：多数类群以植物叶片或活体植物为食，部分类群捕食介壳虫，或栖息于蚁群、蜂群群落中；部分物种为水生，部分适应极端干旱环境，还有一些则以各类腐屑为食。诸多物种具有重要的经济价值。该类群的物种多样性以热带地区最为繁盛，但全球各地均有分布。该类群的两个典型鉴别特征为：成虫具有基部被鳞片覆盖的喙（proboscus），同时具备腹部鼓膜器（abdominal tympanal organs）。其中前者使其获得了“鼻蛾”（snout moths）的俗称。恳请协助UHIM对其馆藏的多样且兼具经济价值的螟蛾总科蛾类标本进行信息转录。本数据集的总任务量为415项，已完成转录的任务数为415，待验证任务数为0。
