    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. 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.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560-0168; [email protected] Introduction: For over 100 years, Filinota brunniceps was known only from a single adult specimen from Colombia, South America, until it was rediscovered in Mexico, and later by K. Nishida in Costa Rica. All life stages of this species are presented in this poster presentation. The adults of F. brunniceps are found throughout the year in Costa Rica. The host, Rivina humilis (L.) [Phytolaccaceae], is a perennial plant and is found all year long. Adults rest in the daytime on the upper surfaces of leaves and appear to indicate to potential predators a “false eyespot” on the apical part of Rivina humilis the forewing. This false eyespot pattern is common in nature, and is found in other Lepidoptera, other insects, and among vetebrates as well. In the field, eggs are laid singly on grooves of the stem or branches, along the midvein or other major veins the underside surface of leaves, and on leaf Eggs are transparent, somewhat saddle-shaped dorsally (the egg is petiole. However, under laboratory longer than wide, with two transverse ridges near each end), with the conditions, most of the eggs were laid in micropyle on one end, adjacent to one of the transverse ridges.
