Research on vineyard pests is crucial for the reduction of annual yield losses and the development of sustainable methods of pest control. The vine-bud moth, Theresimima ampellophaga, has long been considered a harmful grapevine pest in the countries bordering the Mediterranean basin. The larvae feed extensively on vine leaves and buds, and records from the early 20th century indicate that even a minor infestation could halve a vine's total productivity. Despite this, it has received limited scientific attention in recent years, with limited updated information on its biology, ecology, and pest activity. Herein, we conducted a systematic literature review to consolidate all available data about the vine-bud moth into a single body of work. The gathered data revealed that this insect may not currently be as widespread and detrimental to modern vineyards as their historical reputation indicates. However, the vine-bud moth should also not be underestimated or overlooked, as its pest status is prone to evolve as climate changes. There is still a possibility that it could revert to being a major pest in the future, as factors like environmental resilience, trophic dominance and phenology are modified. We recommend a thorough reassessment of the currently available knowledge on this species to fill in knowledge gaps and clarify existing uncertainties. Additionally, there is much scope for further studies on this insect, especially in the fields of phylogenetics and behavioral ecology.

Theresimima ampellophaga （Bayle-Barelle 1809） （鳞翅目、Zygaenidae、Procridinae）：一种被忽视的藤本有害生物的过去、现在和未来


对葡萄园害虫的研究对于减少年产量损失和开发可持续的害虫防治方法至关重要。藤芽蛾 Theresimima ampellophaga 长期以来一直被认为是地中海盆地沿岸国家的有害葡萄害虫。幼虫广泛以藤蔓的叶子和芽为食，20 世纪初的记录表明，即使是轻微的侵扰也可能使葡萄藤的总生产力减半。尽管如此，近年来它受到的科学关注有限，关于其生物学、生态学和害虫活动的最新信息有限。在此，我们进行了系统的文献综述，以将有关藤芽蛾的所有可用数据整合到一个工作主体中。收集到的数据表明，这种昆虫目前可能并不像其历史声誉所表明的那样广泛和对现代葡萄园有害。然而，藤芽蛾也不应被低估或忽视，因为它的害虫状况很容易随着气候变化而演变。随着环境恢复力、营养优势和物候等因素的改变，它仍有可能在未来恢复为主要害虫。我们建议对目前关于该物种的现有知识进行彻底的重新评估，以填补知识空白并澄清现有的不确定性。此外，对这种昆虫的进一步研究还有很大的空间，尤其是在系统发育学和行为生态学领域。
