2、生物学分类 中文名： Theretra japonica Boisduval, 1869 和西藏斜纹天蛾非常相似，在前翅上都有着招牌式的斜纹。不过，相较于西藏斜纹天蛾， 雀纹天蛾身上以及翅膀上的花纹要更加复杂，估计是和麻雀花纹类似而得名 。雀纹天蛾在上海十分常见，我们经常可以在夜晚的路灯下发现它们。 其他别名 葡萄叶褐天蛾 、葡萄斜纹天蛾 、葡萄斜条天蛾 、爬山虎天蛾、日斜天蛾、小天蛾 拉丁名： Theretra japonica Boisduval, 1869 japonica 是日本的意思。 生物学分类： >kingdom 动物界 Animalia >phylum 节肢动物门 Arthropoda >class 昆虫纲 Insecta >order 鳞翅目 Lepidoptera Linnaeus, 1758 >suborder 锤角亚目 Rhopalocera >superfamily 蚕蛾总科 B ombycoidea >family 天蛾科 Sphingidae >subfamily Macroglossinae >tribe Macroglossini >genus Theretra Hübner, 1819 >species Theretra japonica Boisduval, 1869 异名： Theretra japonica Boisduval, 1869雀纹天蛾 = There japonica 《中国动物志 昆虫纲 第十一卷 鳞翅目 天蛾科.》 = Theretra alticola Mell, 1939 = Theretra suifuna Staudinger, 1892 = Choerocampa japonica Boisduval, 1869. = Deilephila suifuna Staudinger, 1892. = Theretra japonica alticola Mell, 1939. 同属物种： 寄主： 海棠、合欢、白蜡、刺槐、皂荚、榆树 Cissus白粉藤属 Colocasia芋属 Hydrangea绣球属（ 绣球花 ） Parthenocissus爬山虎属 Ampelopsis白蔹属 Ipomoea batatas甘薯 Cayratia japonica 乌蔹莓 Vitis (Mell, 1922b; Yang, 1978; Chu et al., 1979; Chu & Wang, 1980)葡萄属 Saxifraga stolonifera (Chu et al., 1979) 虎耳草 Hedera nepalensis var. sinensis (Yang, 1978)中华常春藤 Larval hostplants. Recorded in China on Cissus, Colocasia, Hydrangea, Parthenocissus, Ampelopsis, Ipomoea batatas, Cayratia japonica and Vitis (Mell, 1922b; Yang, 1978; Chu et al., 1979; Chu & Wang, 1980). A record on Saxifraga stolonifera (Chu et al., 1979) requires confirmation, while another, on Hedera nepalensis var. sinensis (Yang, 1978), is probably erroneous. In August 2004 numerous eggs and larvae were found on Ludwigia along a lake at Hangzhou, Zhejiang (Pittaway, pers. obs. 2004). These same plants were also being utilized by Theretra silhetensis. Elsewhere around Hangzhou, and Shanghai and Beijing, the main host was Cayratia japonica. In Metro-Manila, the Philippines, larvae have also been found on various species of Cayratia (Dvořák, 2014). Recorded in Korea on Colocasia antiquorum, Oenothera erythrosepala, Circaea mollis and Hydrangea paniculata (Park et al., 1999). Recorded in Japan from Hydrangea paniculata (Nozakai & Miyata, 1989), as well as Ampelopsis brevipedunculata, Cayratia japonica, Circaea, Fuchsia, Oenothera biennis, Oenothera stricta, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Vitis (Inoue et al., 1982; Sugi, 1987). Recorded in the Russian Far East from Vitis amurensis (Izerskiy, 1999b)【山葡萄】. (Easily reared in captivity on various species of Epilobium, even Epilobium hirsutum【柳叶菜】, but best started on smoother-leaved species.) 3、形态特征 成虫
