螟螣(覔瓶反下鄧得反毛詩傳云食禾苗心曰螟食苗葉曰螣說文從虫作[虫*貨]集文作[虫*(券-刀+小)]誤也)。

螟螣 [míngtè] (The first character has the fanqie mi + ping; the second character has the fanqie deng + de. The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: 'An insect that eats the heart of grain sprouts is called míng; an insect that eats the leaves of sprouts is called tè.' The Shuowen writes it with the radical 虫 as [虫*貨]. The Jiwen writes it as [虫*(券-刀+小)], which is an error).
