Two Helianthemum-feeding species of Lepidoptera new to The Netherlands: Mompha miscella (Momphidae) and Scythris dissimilella (Scythrididae) J. H. Küchlein, L. E. J. Bot & A. Schreurs KÜCHLEIN, J. H., L. E. J. BOT & A. SCHREURS, 1999. TWO HELIANTHEMUM-FEEDING SPECIES OF LEPI¬ DOPTERA NEW TO THE NETHERLANDS: MOMPHA MISCELLA (MOMPHIDAE) AND SCYTHRIS DISSIMI¬ LELLA (SCYTHRIDIDAE). - ENT. BER., AMST. 59 (7): 103-106. Abstract: Two species of Lepidoptera whose larvae feed on Helianthemum are recorded for the first time from The Netherlands, viz. Mompha miscella (Momphidae) and Scythris dissimilella. Of both species one specimen was captured: near Goes (province of Zeeland) on 6 August 1960 and near Vrouwenpolder (also province of Zeeland) on 15 August 1987, respectively. The nearest habitats of the foodplant (Helianthemum) occur in West-Belgium. External characters, genitalia, bionomics and geographical distribution of the two species are discussed. It is concluded that both specimens are casual migrants. J. H. Küchlein, Tinea foundation.

Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

Abstract: This is the first report of two ectoparasitoid wasps, Elachertus inunctus (Nees, 1834) in Iran and Elachertus pulcher (Erdös, 1961) (Hym.: Eulophidae) in the world, that parasitize larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lep.: Gelechiidae). The specimens were collected from tomato fields and greenhouses in Ahwaz, Khouzestan province (south west of Iran). Both species are new records for fauna of Iran. The knowledge about these parasitoids is still scanty. The potential of these parasitoids for biological control of T. absoluta in tomato fields and greenhouses should be investigated.

Passerin d’Entrèves & A. Roggero Abstract In the paper new records of Scythrididae distribution are reported from some areas of the Eastern Palearctic Region that are yet poorly known, as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Mongolia. New data from various parts of the SW Palearctic Region (Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey) are provided as well. Current knowledge of Scythrididae species distribution is significantly increased thanks to the new records here provided, 3 new species from Iran, 1 new species from Afghanistan, 2 new species from Tajikistan, 1 new species from Pakistan, 1 new species from Mongolia and 1 new species from Turkey. Taxonomic remarks are also furnished for the recorded species. Furthermore, the 97 scythridid species from SW Irano-Turanian region are listed here.
