Pediasia Explained

Pediasia is a genus of small moths in the family Crambidae. They are widespread across temperate Eurasia and adjacent regions.^[1]

Despite this genus being proposed as early as 1825, it was not widely recognized until the mid-20th century. Consequently, most species were initially placed in the closely related genus Crambus.
