:''"Botys hyalinalis" and "Margaronia hyalinata" redirect here; while these names refer to the cucumber moth, they are based on misidentification of this species as melonworm moth (''D. hyalinata'').'' :''"Cotton caterpillar" redirects here; see also cotton bollworm.'' ''Diaphania indica'', the cucumber moth or cotton caterpillar, is a widespread but mainly Old World moth species. It belongs to the grass moth family, and therein to the large subfamily Spilomelinae. This moth occurs in many tropical and subtropical regions outside the Americas, though it is native to southern Asia; it is occasionally a significant pest of cucurbits and some other plants. This species was originally described by William Wilson Saunders in 1851 under the misspelled name ''Eudioptes indica'' (properly:''Eudioptis''), using specimens from Java. His syntypes are in the Hope Entomological Collections of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.〔Clarke (1986)〕 ==Description== The wingspan is about 30 mm. Adults have translucent whitish wings with broad dark brown borders. The body is whitish below, and brown on top of head and thorax as well as the end of the abdomen. There is a tuft of light brown "hairs" on the tip of the abdomen, vestigial in the male but well-developed in the female. It is formed by long scales which are carried in a pocket on each side of the 7th abdominal segment, from where they can be everted to form the tufts. Unfertilized females are often seen sitting around with the tuft fully spread, forming two flower-like clumps of scales, which move slowly to spread their pheromones. These have been identified〔Pherobase (2011)〕 as consisting mainly of (E,E)-10,12-hexadecadienal and (E)-11-hexadecenal.〔 From its closest relatives, the cucumber moth is most reliably distinguished by microscopic examination of the genitals. In the male, the clasper's harpe is twice as long as it is wide, with costa and sacculus running almost in parallel and being strongly sclerotized, and a rounded cucullus. From the center of the harpe, which is otherwise only weakly sclerotized, a thin spine extends. The uncus is covered in bristles and ends in a small tube; it is a bit longer than the tegumen which in turn is about as wide as it is long. The vinculum is almost quadratic, and the anellus forms a small triangular plate which is more strongly sclerotized. The aedeagus is almost straight, strongly sclerotized below, and has a flattened curved process at end.〔 In the female genitals, the ostium is transverse and oval, and the antrum broadly sclerotized. The ductus seminalis insert from above, a bit before the forward edge of the antrum. The bursa copulatrix is long and slim, with the forward third particularly narrow; its wall is covered with many short spines, and the hind end almost seamlessly merges into a short and barely distinguishable ductus bursae.〔 File:Diaphania indica male dorsal.jpg|Male, adult specimen from above File:Diaphania indica male ventral.jpg|Male, adult specimen from below File:Diaphania indica female dorsal.jpg|Female, adult specimen from above File:Diaphania indica female ventral.jpg|Female, adult specimen from below File:Crambidae-Diaphania indica024.jpg| sideview 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「:''"Botys hyalinalis" and "Margaronia hyalinata" redirect here; while these names refer to the cucumber moth, they are based on misidentification of this species as melonworm moth (''D. hyalinata'').'':''"Cotton caterpillar" redirects here; see also cotton bollworm.'''''''Diaphania indica''''', the '''cucumber moth''' or '''cotton caterpillar''', is a widespread but mainly Old World moth species.
