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. [2]: 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). [3]
The caterpillars feed on leaves of the bamboo species Phyllostachys edulis and P. nigra forma henonis in Japan. [4]
The species was originally described from China, [2] and was later also recorded from Japan, specifically from Honshu. [5] [6] Lee et al. (2018) reported the species for the first time from Korea. [3]
The species was apparently transported via larvae to a large-scale garden centre in Spain, from where it spread further over Europe. [7] Caterpillars were subsequently reported from Belgium in 2013 and 2015, [8]: 40–41 [9] from the Netherlands in 2014, [10] and from France in 2015, [11] where it is now recorded from the departments of Gironde, Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques. [12] The first German record is from June 2018 from Munich. [13]
