Tuscanus

Tuscanus is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Hans Georg Herbert in 1951. Species within Tuscanus are typically found in the Afrotropical realm, with most records originating from South Africa. The exact number of species currently recognized within Tuscanus can vary with taxonomic revisions, but it is generally considered to be a relatively small genus. Detailed descriptions of individual species, including their larval stages, adult morphology, and life cycles, are available in specialized entomological literature and scientific databases. The ecological roles and host plant associations of Tuscanus moths are subjects of ongoing research within the field of entomology.
