1996 No. 4 December
TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA NEWS December 1996 No.4 LEPIDOPTERORUM CATALOGUS (New Series) The new world catalog of Lepidoptera renews the series title The new series (as edited by J. B. Heppner) began already in first begun in 1911. The original catalog series was published by 1989 with publication of the catalog of Noctuidae, by R. Poole. W. Junk Publishers of Berlin, Germany (later The Hague, E. J. Brill Publishers, of Leiden, Netherlands, published this first Netherlands), continuing until 1939 when the incomplete series fascicle in 3 volumes, covering already about a third of all known was deactivated due to World War II. The original series Lepidoptera. Since ATL took over the series, several families completed a large number of families between 1911 and 1939, have been readied for publication. Already this month, Fascicle totalling about 3 shelf-feet of text. Most Microlepidoptera, 48, on Epermeniidae, was published (authored by R. Gaedike, of however, were not covered, as also several macro families like the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Eberswalde, Germany). Noctuidae, and several families are incomplete (e.g., Geometridae In 1997, several other smaller families are expected, including and Pyralidae). Even for what was treated, the older catalogs are Acanthopteroctetidae (Davis), Acrolepiidae (Gaedike), Cecidosi now greatly out of date, due to the description of many new dae (Davis), Cercophanidae (Becker), Glyphipterigidae (Heppner), species and many changes in nomenclature over the last 5 to 8 Neotheoridae (Kristensen), Ochsenheimeriidae (Davis), Opostegi decades. dae (Davis), and Oxytenidae (Becker). Much of the publication The new series resembles the old series in some ways but it schedule depends on the cooperation of various specialists who will also have features not found in the old work. -

Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Erebidae, Spilarctia robusta, phylogenetic analyses, mitogenome, evolution, gene rearrangement Abstract. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Spilarctia robusta (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) was se- quenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenome is made up of 15,447 base pairs (bp). It contains a set of 37 genes, with the gene complement and order similar to that of other lepidopterans. The 12 protein coding genes (PCGs) have a typical mitochondrial start codon (ATN codons), whereas cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene utilizes unusually the CAG codon as documented for other lepidopteran mitogenomes. Four of the 13 PCGs have incomplete termination codons, the cox1, nad4 and nad6 with a single T, but cox2 has TA. It comprises six major intergenic spacers, with the exception of the A+T-rich region, spanning at least 10 bp in the mitogenome. -

The Mediterranean fl our moth, Ephestia kuehniella is a widespread pest of stored products and a classical object in experimental biology. In the present study, we determined its complete mitochondrial genome sequence. The genome is circular, consists of 15,327 bp and comprises 13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA- and 22 tRNA-coding genes in an order typical for the Ditrysia clade of the order Lepidoptera. A phylogenetic study of the Lepidoptera based on complete mitochondrial genomes places E. kuehniella correctly in the family Pyralidae and supports major lepidopteran taxa as phylogenetic clades. The W chromosome of E. kuehniella is an exceptionally rich reservoir of originally mitochondrial sequences (numts). Around 0.7% of the W DNA was found to be of mitochondrial origin, 83% of the mitogenome sequence was represented between 1–11 × in the W chromosome. -
A Newly Observed Form of Symbiotic Relationship Between Reverdin's
Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera 41: 70-75,2002 (2009) A newly observed form of symbiotic relationship between Reverdin’s blue Lycaeides argyrognomon praeterinsularis (Verity), (Lycaenidae) and Camponotus japonicus Mayr (Formicidae) MICHIHITO WATANABE Laboratory of Natural Science for Coexistence of Humans and Nature, Kawaguchiko Field Center, 6603 Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko-ma- chi, Yamanashi-ken, 401-0301 Japan [email protected] YASUO HAGIWARA Biological Laboratory, College of Arts and Sciences, Showa University, 4562 Kamiyoshida, Fujiyoshida-shi, Yamanashi-ken, 403-0005 Japan Abstract. Observations of an individual larva of Reverdin’s blue named O-1, and its tending ants were made in the grassland at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Japan between 29 VIII to 1 X in 2003. During its 3rd to 4th instars, O-1 larva was almost entirely protected from natural enemies by Camponotus japonicus Primary Tending Ants (PTAs) and Secondary Tending Ants (STAs). Prior to pupation, O-1 entered a C. japonicus nest hole with a PTA and three unmarked ants. Many C. japonicus individuals, including the same PTAs and some STAs from the larval stage, as well as newly attending STAs, alternatively accompanied the pupa until emergence. This is a new form of symbiotic relationship between Reverdin’s blue and C. japonicus. In the relationship characterized by what we term “loyalty,” a specific individual of Reverdin’s blue was tended by one or several PTAs, and some STAs, from the 2nd instar to adulthood. Key words: facultative or obligate ant-association, Reverdin’s blue Lycaeides argyrognomon, Camponotus japonicus, new form of symbiotic relationship, ‘loyalty’ system. INTRODUCTION AND METHODS 1 larva or tending ants because the larva quickly resumed its usual activities and the ants returned to tending O-1 The study area is situated at 35º 26´N 138º 49´E, at after cleaning their bodies to remove the new scent. -

Ring Roads and Urban Biodiversity: Distribution of Butterflies in Urban
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ring roads and urban biodiversity: distribution of butterfies in urban parks in Beijing city and Received: 1 June 2018 Accepted: 26 April 2019 correlations with other indicator Published: xx xx xxxx species Kong-Wah Sing1,2, Jiashan Luo3, Wenzhi Wang1,2,4,5, Narong Jaturas6, Masashi Soga7, Xianzhe Yang8, Hui Dong9 & John-James Wilson10,6,8 The capital of China, Beijing, has a history of more than 800 years of urbanization, representing a unique site for studies of urban ecology. Urbanization can severely impact butterfy communities, yet there have been no reports of the species richness and distribution of butterfies in urban parks in Beijing. Here, we conducted the frst butterfy survey in ten urban parks in Beijing and estimated butterfy species richness. Subsequently, we examined the distribution pattern of butterfy species and analyzed correlations between butterfy species richness with park variables (age, area and distance to city center), and richness of other bioindicator groups (birds and plants). We collected 587 individual butterfies belonging to 31 species from fve families; 74% of the species were considered cosmopolitan. The highest butterfy species richness and abundance was recorded at parks located at the edge of city and species richness was signifcantly positively correlated with distance from city center (p < 0.05). No signifcant correlations were detected between the species richness and park age, park area and other bioindicator groups (p > 0.05). Our study provides the frst data of butterfy species in urban Beijing, and serves as a baseline for further surveys and conservation eforts. China is a megadiverse country but is rapidly losing biodiversity as a consequence of socioeconomic development and expansion of urban land since the 1990s1,2. -
