Sinibotys butleri is a snout moth in the subfamily Pyraustinae in the family Crambidae. It was described in the genus Crocidophora by Richard South in 1901 based on a single female imago collected in Ningbo in China 's Zhejiang province.[1]:480 The species is sexually dimorphic, with females exhibiting shorter, less pointed forewings than the males. The imagines and genitalia of the species are illustrated in Lee et al. (2018).[2]

Biology

The caterpillars feed on leaves of the bamboo species Phyllostachys edulis and P. nigra forma henonis in Japan.[3]

Distribution

The species was originally described from China ,[1] and was later also recorded from Japan , specifically from Honshu.[4][5] Lee et al. (2018) reported the species for the first time from Korea.[2]

The species was apparently transported via larvae to a large-scale garden centre in Spain , from where it spread further over Europe.[6] Caterpillars were subsequently reported from Belgium in 2013 and 2015,[7]:40-41[8] from the Netherlands in 2014,[9] and from France in 2015,[10] where it is now recorded from the departments of Gironde, Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques.[11] The first Germany record is from June 2018 from Munich.[12]
