    SOUTHERN LEPIDOPTERISTS NEWS VOLUME 38 NO4. (2016), PG. 331 SAVE ALL SPECIES – MOTHS LIGHT A WAY? BY JOHN PICKERING, TORI STAPLES AND REBECCA WALCOTT Abstract -- What would it take to save all species from snakes, and stinging insects, they pose no health risk. extinction? A new initiative, Save all species, plans to Moths are an exceedingly species-rich group, for which answer this question and provide the tools we need to do the diversity at a terrestrial site will typically exceed any so by 2050. Here we consider the merits and problems other taxon except for beetles. Because moth larvae are associated with inventorying moths to help decide which restricted in their diet to specific host taxa, differences in terrestrial areas to protect. We compare the the assemblages of resident moth species could reflect scientifically-described moth fauna of the British Isles differences across sites in plants and other hosts. If which, with 2,441 species, is taxonomically complete, that’s true, we may be able to use moth inventories as with 11,806 described species from North America north efficient proxies to compare surrounding plant of Mexico, the fauna of which is not fully described. As communities. a percentage of the described moth fauna, there are fewer “macro” moths (Geometroidea, Drepanoidea, Inventorying moths presents challenges, notably, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Lasiocampidae) in the sampling smaller species, describing thousands of British Isles (34.9%) than those known for the United species new to science, and identifying specimens States and Canada (46.1%). We present data on 1,254 accurately. Our experience is that we can identify 99% species for an intensively-studied site in Clarke County, of moths from digital images to species, species-groups, Georgia and consider whether species in the British Isles which contain species of similar appearance, or are generally smaller than ones in Georgia.

  • SYSTEMATICS of the MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of T
    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.

Due to its prolific flower and fruit production, it was introduced into subtropical areas such as Florida and Hawai’i, where it is now naturalized and invasive. In an effort to find sustainable means to control R. tomentosa, a large-scale survey was mounted for biological control organisms.

  • Acoustic Communication in the Nocturnal Lepidoptera
    Chapter 6 Acoustic Communication in the Nocturnal Lepidoptera Michael D. Greenfield Abstract Pair formation in moths typically involves pheromones, but some pyra- loid and noctuoid species use sound in mating communication. The signals are generally ultrasound, broadcast by males, and function in courtship. Long-range advertisement songs also occur which exhibit high convergence with commu- nication in other acoustic species such as orthopterans and anurans. Tympanal hearing with sensitivity to ultrasound in the context of bat avoidance behavior is widespread in the Lepidoptera, and phylogenetic inference indicates that such perception preceded the evolution of song. This sequence suggests that male song originated via the sensory bias mechanism, but the trajectory by which ances- tral defensive behavior in females—negative responses to bat echolocation sig- nals—may have evolved toward positive responses to male song remains unclear. Analyses of various species offer some insight to this improbable transition, and to the general process by which signals may evolve via the sensory bias mechanism. 6.1 Introduction The acoustic world of Lepidoptera remained for humans largely unknown, and this for good reason: It takes place mostly in the middle- to high-ultrasound fre- quency range, well beyond our sensitivity range. Thus, the discovery and detailed study of acoustically communicating moths came about only with the use of electronic instruments sensitive to these sound frequencies. Such equipment was invented following the 1930s, and instruments that could be readily applied in the field were only available since the 1980s. But the application of such equipment M. D.

  • Elm Borer Eastern Tent Caterpillar
    Pests of Trees and Shrubs Eastern tent caterpillar Elm borer Malacosoma americanum Order Lepidoptera, Family Lasiocampidae; tent caterpillars and lappet moths Native pest Host plants: Apple, crabapple, pear, plum, and wild cherry are preferred, but a wide variety of other forest, fruit and shade trees are hosts. Description: Adult moths are light brown, 25 mm long, with two diagonal white stripes across the forewings. Wingspan is 37–50 mm. Larvae can grow to 50 mm or more in length. They have black heads, a white stripe down the length of the back and yellow lateral stripes with blue spots. Life history: Overwintered eggs hatch as host tree buds begin to unfold in the spring. Larvae are gregarious and construct a communal web or tent, which grows as they develop and from which they emerge to feed. There is one generation a year. Early season defoliation caused by Eastern tent caterpillar. (84) Overwintering: As eggs in masses that surround twigs. Photo: Cliff Sadof Damage symptoms: Silken webs in tree forks may be unsightly. When infestations are sufficiently severe, trees can be completely defoliated. Monitoring: Eggs hatch when red maple blooms in the first week of April (Herms). Look for larval silken tents on preferred hosts in early April. Also look on preferred hosts in the dormant season for approximately 18 mm long, black egg masses. Physical control: In the dormant season, prune and destroy egg masses. Destroy webs and their contents as soon as they appear. Chemical control: Use Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki when trees are flowering to protect pollinating bees.
