}} Fundella pellucens, the Caribbean pod borer,[2] is a species of snout moth in the genus Fundella. It was described by Zeller in 1848. DescriptionFundella pellucens has a wingspan of about {{convert|20|mm|abbr=on}}. Its forewings are dark grey and its hindwings are creamy white with darker margins.[3]The larvae range from {{convert|9-15.6|mm|abbr=on}} in length and are {{convert|1.4-2.5|mm|abbr=on}} wide. The entire larva ranges in color from yellowish-white to brown.[4] The pupa of the moth ranges from {{convert|5-9.5|mm|abbr=on}} in length and {{convert|1.6-2.5|mm|abbr=on}} in width. The pupa ranges in color from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown.[4] RangeIt is found in Florida, Barbados, Haiti, Cuba, Montserrat, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and Bolivia.[4] EcologyHost PlantsThe larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Vigna luteola, Canavalia ensiformis, Canavalia maritima, Cajan cajan, Phaseolus species (including Phaseolus lunatus) and Cassia occidentalis. Young larvae may initially feed on the flowers and continue feeding on immature legumes when they get older. There is also evidence that larvae may complete their entire development on the legumes only. They bore into the pods of their host plant and feed on the seeds. At times, legumes may be bound together with silk to form a shelter. Pupation takes place in the soil within a silk cocoon.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://globiz.pyraloidea.org/Pages/Reports/TaxonReport.aspx |title=GlobIZ search |website=Global Information System on Pyraloidea |accessdate=2011-09-29 }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q13638422}}{{Phycitinae-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |title= A Dictionary of Entomology |author= Gordon Gordh |publisher= CABI |year= 2011 |isbn= 9781845935429 |page= 258}} 3. ^{{cite book |title= The Invertebrate Pests of Annual Food Crops in Central America: A Guide to Their Recognition and Control |author= Andrew B.
