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. -

Biology of Coconut Moth, Batrachedra Arenosella Walker (Lepidoptera : Batrachedridae) on Immature Nuts of Coconut in India
J. Exp. Zool. India Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 353-356, 2018 www.connectjournals.com/jez ISSN 0972-0030 BIOLOGY OF COCONUT MOTH, BATRACHEDRA ARENOSELLA WALKER (LEPIDOPTERA : BATRACHEDRIDAE) ON IMMATURE NUTS OF COCONUT IN INDIA C.

Chakravarthy3 1Department of Agricultural Entomology, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru - 560 065, India. 2College of Agriculture, Mandya, India. 3Division of Entomology and Nematology, Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru - 560 089, India. *e-mail: [email protected] (Accepted 19 October 2017) ABSTRACT : Larvae of coconut moth, Batrachedra arenosella Walker (Lepidoptera : Batrachedridae) were found damaging premature nuts of coconut for the first time in India. The feeding resulted on an average of 20% loss of nuts in Mysore and Mandya districts of Karnataka, South India. The mean egg incubation period was 2.95 ± 0.55 days. Larval stage comprised four instars and the mean duration of first, second, third and fourth instar larvae were 2.55 ±2.50, 2.75 ± 0.35, 3.40 ± 0.57 and 4.10 ± 0.61 days, respectively. Total larval period varied from 11 to 14 days, with an average of 12.80 ± 1.01 days. Mean pupal period was 7.20 ± 0.86 days. The total developmental period occupied 22.95 ±1.17 days. Adult females lived longer (6.50 ± 1.20 days) than males (5.50 ± 0.78 days). The study indicated that B. arenosella has more than one generation a year. Short life cycle, presence of adults and larvae throughout the year in an overlapping manner and a perennial host characterizes B. arenosella to be an economically important pest. -
Biological Control of the Coconut Moth, Batrachedra Arenosella by Chelonus Parasites in Indonesia1
Vol. 27, December 15,1986 41 Biological Control of the Coconut Moth, Batrachedra arenosella by Chelonus Parasites in Indonesia1 WILY ARDERT BARINGBING2 ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted on the island of Flora, Indonesia, to test for biological control of the coconut moth, Batrachedra arenosella Walker, by introducing the braconid parasite Chelonus sp. Six and twelve months after releasing S gravid females of Chelonus per 4 ha of moth-infested coconuts, the per centage infection of the host pupae, the distribution capacity and the population density of the parasites were determined at 0,50 and 100 m from the point of release. The results of the experiment show that the percentage of parasitized host pupae and population density of the parasite 0 and SO m from the point of release were approximately twice that found at 100 m. This suggests a slow outward spread of the para site from its point of introduction. There were only slight increases after 12 months in these parameters and in the percentage of spathes where Chelonus was found when compared with results after 6 months. These results suggest that the parasite has become established but spreads out slowly from its point of introduction. There was only a slight reduction in pest population following release of the parasite during the 12-month period. The coconut moth, Batrachedra arenosella Walker, (Lepidoptera; Cosmoptery- gidae) is a serious pest of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) in Indonesia (Tjoa, 1953; Kalshoven, 1981). Larvae of the moth cause extensive damage to coconuts, feeding on the male and female flowers in unopened spathes. -

(Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) Ignác Richter Abstract. Present article brings information about new findings of case–bearing moths (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) from the Balkan Peninsula. Several species of the genus Coleophora were recorded for the first time for some of the Balkan countries. Coleophora herniariae, C. daglarica and C. albipennella are recorded as new for the fauna of Europe. The description Coleophora vardarella Richter, sp. nov., from Macedonia is given. Keywords. Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae, Coleophora vardarella sp. nov., Coleophora herniariae, Coleophora daglarica, Coleophora albipennella, Macedonia, the Balkan Peninsula. Author’s address. Ignác Richter | Malá Čausa 289, SK–971 01, Slovakia E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Intensive faunistic research of small moths (“Microlepidoptera”) of the Balkan Peninsula continues for several decades already and lasts until the recent times. The family Coleophoridae Bruand, 1850 belongs to the less known moths of the Balkans, therefore our focus has been oriented towards this large Lepidoptera family. Faunistic and systematic studies of this moth group in the Balkans resulted in interesting findings. One of the most important recent works about the genera Coleophora Hübner, 1822 and Goniodoma Zeller, 1849 of the Balkan Peninsula is the contribution of Richter & Pastorális (2015). Results of surveys conducted by seni- or author, executed in the years 2010–2014 at different sites of Croatia, Montene- gro, Macedonia, and Bulgaria were presented. -
LEAFMINESNEWSLETTER M a Rch 2 0 15
Newsletter 30 LEAFMINESNEWSLETTER M a rch 2 0 15 Recent additions to the host plant list The host plant list for Britisn leafminers of Pitkin and Plant is maintained on both the leafmine site (www.leafmines.co.uk and the UKflymines site (www.ukflymines.co.uk). If a host plant is not listed on these websites you may assume that it will be new to the UK. We need proof that the addition is correct. It may be possible from photographic evidence or it may need breeding through to determine whether the identity is correct. It may need DNA analysis before a new host plant is added as Ian Barton and Kathleen Rosewarne found when they discovered Phyllonorycter mines on Chaenomeles japonica. The species was unclear even when he bred the moths out and performed a genitalia dissection. Subsequent DNA analysis indicated that the species was Phyllonorycter sorbi and a new host plant for this species was added to the list. (Barton & Rosewarne, Entomologist’s Rec J Var (2014) 126, 93-96). The following recent new additions are illustrated. Phyllonorycter leucographella (Lep:Lithocolletinae) on Elm (Ulmus) Page 2 www.leafmines.co.uk Steve Hind writes ‘I found this Phyllonorycter leucographella mine on Elm on 26.x.2014 in Hyde Park, Hyde, Cheshire, VC58, which may be a new food plant. The small Elm, about two feet tall, was growing through a Pyracantha bush and the mined leaf was amongst those of the Pyracantha, so I guess the female moth was easily confused when laying the egg.’ Photo © Steve Hind Coleophora albitarsella (Lep: Coleophoridae) on Salvia On 07.vii.2014 Stewart Wright found 40+ cases of Coleophora albitarsella feeding on Salvia africana azurea in his garden in Norfolk. -
MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It Is with Great Sadness That We Must Report the Death of Bull Budd in Autumn 2020
Wimbledon and Putney Commons ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It is with great sadness that we must report the death of Bull Budd in autumn 2020. Bill was our much respected, dragonfly and damselfly recorder and a member of the Wildlife and Conservation Forum. As well as recording on the Commons, Bill also worked as a volunteer at the London Natural History Museum for many years and was the Surrey Vice County Dragonfly Recorder. Bill supported our BioBlitz activities and, with others from the Forum, led dedicated walks raising public awareness of the dragonfly and damselfly populations on the Commons. In September 2020 in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the recording and conservation of Odonata, a newly identified dragonfly species found in the Bornean rainforest* was named Megalogomphus buddi. His contributions will be very much missed. * For further information see: https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/dragonfly-named-after-bds-county-dragonfly-recorder-bill-budd/ Dow, R.A. and Price, B.W.
