Subtratissa

Subtratissa is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae. The genus was first described by Charles Sumber in 1932. Moths in the genus Subtratissa are found in the Neotropical realm.

The genus Subtratissa currently includes several described species. These include Subtratissa argentalis, Subtratissa catocalis, and Subtratissa subargentalis. Further research may lead to the discovery of additional species within this genus. The larval stages and specific ecological roles of most Subtratissa species are not extensively documented in readily available literature, which is common for many smaller insect genera.

The adult moths of the genus Subtratissa are characterized by their wing patterns and venation, which are key features used in taxonomic classification. While general descriptions of the family Crambidae note their often brightly colored or patterned wings and sometimes peculiar resting postures, specific details for Subtratissa species would require consultation with specialized entomological resources. Their habitat typically aligns with the environments found in the Neotropics, suggesting a reliance on the specific flora and climate of these regions for their life cycle.
