    Endemic Biodiversity, Natural Enemies, and the Future of Biological Control

    Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 875 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. pp. 875-880 (2000) Endemic Biodiversity, Natural Enemies, and the Future of Biological Control ROWAN M. EMBERSON Ecology and Entomology Group, Soil, Plant and Ecological Sciences Division, P.O. Box 84, Lincoln University, New Zealand Abstract In recent public comment on proposed introductions for biological control of weeds in New Zealand, the issues of dilution of endemic biodiversity and homogenization of the fauna, have been raised as a reason for not introducing biological control agents. Although the impact of biological contol agents can be shown to be minimal in this process, the issue of homogenization appears to be gaining currency with government agencies and regulators. The main current causes of homogenization of the fauna and flora in New Zealand, and probably in most other countries, come from the purposeful introduction of plants for horticultural and other purposes, often with minimal assessment of their weed- iness, followed by their subsequent naturalization, and the accidental introductions of insects and other invertebrates. In New Zealand, naturalized alien plant species already outnumber native species and adventive insects are estimated to comprise 13% of the insect fauna. Only about 2.5% of all exotic insects have been introduced for biological control purposes. Up to the present, 20 carefully screened, host specific, species of insects have been established for biological control of weeds. These represent less than 1% of the exotic insect fauna. Recent developments in the regulatory environment outside New Zealand, suggest that the issue of global homogenization of the fauna and flora is also being considered in other jurisdictions, and has the potential to place severe limitations on the practice of classical biological control, even though the contribution of biological con- trol agents to the process is almost negligible in most places.

In all, 26 species belonged to 18 genera of the family Pterophoridae(25 species of subfamily and remarks for all the species are also provided in detail. Pterophorinae and 01 Deuterocopinae) were examined and identified. The keys to subfamilies, synonymy, distribution Keywords: Microlepidoptera, North-West, Plume Moths, Pterophoridae Introduction of these moths, the taxonomical study is very difficult and the same moths group poses very serious problems The Microlepidoptera is one of the large groups of in field collections, pinning, stretching, labelling and as moths under order Lepidoptera. On world basis, 45735 well as in identification. Keeping in mind all above, the species belonging to 4626 genera of 73 families under 19 present research is undertaken on the Pterophorid moths superfamilies are present. The superfamily Pterophoroidea from the area under reference. is a unique group from other Lepidopteran insects is having slender moths, long and slender legs and long Material and Methods abdomen and wings narrow clefted. The wings are narrow.

Key to the presently examined 13 genera of the subfamily Pterophorinae has been prepared on the basis of wing venation and male and female genitalic characters. Further, keys to the species of the genera such as Exelastis Meyrick, Megalorrhipida Amsel and Stenodacma Amsel represented by more than one species have also been furnished. The genus Tomotilus Yano is being reported for the first time from India. The distribution of the species Deuterocopus planeta Meyrick, Stenoptilia petraea Meyrick, Stenoptilodes taprobanes (Felder and Rogenhöfer), Amblyptilia forcipeta (Zeller), Exelastis phlyctaenias Meyrick, Procapperia pelecyntes (Meyrick) and Trichoptilus bidens Meyrick stands updated through an addition of more localities from northwestern India. Three new species, one of genus Lantanophaga and two of genus Megalorrhipida have been reported from the area, under reference. Besides giving an illustrated account of the new species, the genitalic account of already known species have been added to improve the descriptive account of these biological species.

MATTHEWS1, DALE H. HABECK1, AND BERNARD LANDRY2 'Department of Entomology and Nematology, IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville FL 32611, USA; and 2Biological Research Division, CLBRR, Neatby Bldg., CEF, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A OC6, Canada ABSTRACT.- Last instar larvae and pupae are described for three plume moths, Exelastis cervinicolor, E. rhynchosiae, and E. pumilio. A key to the known larvae of this legume-feeding genus is given for Florida. The new combination Exelastis rhynchosiae, formerly Stenoptilia, is presented. Comparisons of the immature and adult characters of the three species are discussed to support the new combination.

Known larvae of a small group of Florida the primary host of S. anisodactylus is the aquatic species belonging to the genera Exelastis Meyrick (1907) and monocot Thalia geniculata L. (Marantaceae); the larva has not Marasmarcha Meyrick (1886) feed on species of Fabaceae been found on any Fabaceae (Cassani et al., 1990).

ZooKeys 698: 75–93. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.698.14999 Abstract Oxyptilus eleanerae sp. n., is described from New Mexico, Arizona, and Southwest Texas, and compared with the only other Oxyptilus occurring in the Nearctic Region, O. delawaricus Zeller. A redescription is provided for O. delawaricus. Adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated for both species. Key morphological characters, distributions, and relationships within the genus are discussed. Keywords Davis Mountains, Crombrugghia, Hieracium, Madrean Archipelago, Nearctic Region, new species, Paliza Canyon, sky islands Introduction The genus Oxyptilus Zeller (type species Pterophorus pilosellae Zeller) formerly included 28 species worldwide (Gielis 2003). A recent review and phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Oxyptilini (Alipanah et al. 2011) recovered only five species O.[ pilosellae (Zeller), O. parvidactyla (Haworth), O. chrysodactyla (Denis and Schiffermüller), O.
