Abstract: The tropical swallowtail uraniid moth Lyssa zampa is known to exhibit seasonal patterns of mass emergence throughout its range. These cyclical patterns of emergences are thought to correlate closely with oscillating host plant availability, as well as with interactions between herbivory and host plant defences. Because little has been reported concerning the biology of this species, the purpose of this paper is intended to serve as a starting point addressing the natural history of L. zampa in Singapore. Here we report on an instance of mass emergence of L.

The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

Additionally, a comment on phylogenetic position of this family is also provided. Key words Diurnal moths, immature stages, hostplants, phylogeny. Introduction The family Epicopeiidae embraces several medium- to large-sized diurnal moths across the Oriental and the Palaearctic regions. They are usually regarded as mimic to a certain species of Papilionidae, Danainae or bearing aposematic coloration. In Taiwan, two species of Epicopeiidae, EIPicopeia mencia Moore, 1874, and E. hainesii matsumuvai Okano, 1973, have hitherto been recognized. wnile the early stages of the same species from Japan and China have been described or illustrated, the life history of this family from Taiwan has remained unknown to date. In early May 1992, one of us, Yen, was able to collect larvae and eggs of E, mencia from Ulmus Parvijblia Jacq. (Ulmaceae) at Huei-Sen Forests, Nantou Co. and Shanping, Kaohsiung Co,, Taiwan, respectively. They were subsequently brought to the laboratory of Department of.Entomology. Rearing was conducted at room temperatures, Eggs were put into a small transparent plastic bag ; hatched larvae were reared in a 15 × 8 × 20 cm plastic case with an abundant supply of leaves of the hostplant; pupae were left in the case to emerge; hibernate pupae were mantained at 100C.

The looper moths of British Columbia (BC), Canada present a challenging case for species discrimination via DNA barcoding due to their considerable diversity and limited taxonomic maturity. Methodology/Principal Findings: By analyzing specimens held in national and regional natural history collections, we assemble barcode records from representatives of 400 species from BC and surrounding provinces, territories and states. Sequence variation in the barcode region unambiguously discriminates over 93% of these 400 geometrid species. However, a final estimate of resolution success awaits detailed taxonomic analysis of 48 species where patterns of barcode variation suggest cases of cryptic species, unrecognized synonymy as well as young species. Conclusions/Significance: A catalog of these taxa meriting further taxonomic investigation is presented as well as the supplemental information needed to facilitate these investigations.

From the pupal characteristics, the Callidulidae as designated by Minet (1989) contains two (or more) conspicuously diEferent families, one (incEuding at least the Pterothysaninae) belongs to the Macrolepidoptera and is related to the Bombycoidea, the other (the Callidulinae) is a sister group ef the Hyblaeidae in the Microlepidoptera, True Callidu] Ldae should be restricted to Minet's Callidulinae, Key wordsCallidulidae, Callidula, Pterodecld, pupa, description, classification, phylogeny, Japan. The Callidulidae is a small but curious farnily. Minet separate fatnilies but also they are far apart in phylogenetic (1989) recognized three subfamilies, the Oriental relationships, the fOrmer is a member o'f the so-called Callidulinae, the Madagascan Griveaudiinae and the Microlepidoptera and the latter belongs within the higher Pterothysaninae.Arnongthem,onlytwogeneraPterodectaLepidoptera close to the Bombycoidea. and Callidula in the Callidulinae occur in Japan, Based on the pupal morphology, Nakarnura (1981) Knowledge of the pupae in this family is insufficient and considered R falderi Bren]er should be included that in pupue were recorded only three geilera so fai: Oriental the Pyraloidea
