ABSTRACT The butterflies Byblia ilithyia (Nymphalidae), Pieris canidia (Pieridae) and Azanus jesous (Lycaenidae) and the day-flying moth, Nyctemera adversata (Erebidae) are oligophagous. Previously, only B. ilithyia has been reported to be occurring in this region while the other three species are being reported for the first time from this region. The larval host plants include Jatropha gossypiifolia and Tragia involucrata for B. ilithyia, Brassica oleracea var. oleracea and B. oleracea var. botrytis for P. canidia, and Acacia auriculiformis for Azanus jesous. The nectar plants include Tragia involucrata, Euphorbia hirta and Jatropha gossypiifolia for B. ilithyia, Premna latifolia and Cleome viscosa for P. canidia, Lagascea mollis, Tridax procumbens and Digera muricata for A. jesous and Bidens pilosa for 275 N. adversata. The study recommends extensive field investigations to find out more larval plants and nectar plants for each Page lepidopteran species now reported.

RAMASUBRAMANIAN Division of Crop Protection-ICAR-Central Institute for Jute and Allied Fibres, Kolkatta, 700120, West Bengal, India *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A survey on native natural enemies of Bihar hairy caterpillar, Spilosoma obliqua Walker was conducted during April- August 2012 cropping season at ICAR-CRIJAF, Barrackpore as well as jute growing belts in West Bengal, India. The survey revealed that Protapanteles obliquae (Wilkinson) (Braconidae: Hymenoptera) is a potential larval parasitoid of S. obliqua which is occurring naturally on jute. This is the first record of natural parasitism of P. obliquae on S. obliqua on jute crop in India.

Merr) is reported for the first time. Larvae of this species were found consuming soybean leaves in soybean fields in Córdoba province, Argentina, and were able to complete their life cycle. Characteristics of adults and larvae are provided for rapid identification in the field. Due to the widespread distribution of this species within the region where soybean is more intensively cultivated in South America, we conclude that D. sacrifica is a potential soybean pest. Further studies on infestation frequency, damage levels and control by natural enemies are needed. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiidae, Dysschema sacrifica , soybean, pest, Argentina.

The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N). In this article, we present the first record of Spilarctia procedra from Laos (20° N) with a description of the new subspecies Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. We also report the first record of Spilarctia gopara from Myanmar. Key words: Oriental Region, tiger moths, new subspecies, Spilarctia punctata species group. Introduction The Spilarctia punctata species group contains 13 species, the range of which expands from India and South China to the Philippines and Bali (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Until recently, only 2 species were known from the north of Indochina, i.e. Spilarctia gopara (Moore, 1859) and S. ummera Swinhoe, 1889 (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Spilarctia procedra (Swinhoe, 1907) inhabits the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia (from Sumatra to Bali). The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N) (Černý & Pinratana 2009). However, we collected two individuals (male and female) of Spilarctia procedra from the north of Laos.

Due to their remarkable diversity, economic and ecological importance, moths and butterflies have been studied extensively over the last 200 years. More recently, the relationship between Lepidoptera and their heritable microbial endosymbionts has received increasing attention. Heritable endosymbionts reside within the host’s body and are often, but not exclusively, inherited through the female line. Advancements in molecular genetics have revealed that host-associated microbes are both extremely prevalent among arthropods and highly diverse. Furthermore, heritable endosymbionts have been repeatedly demonstrated to play an integral role in many aspects of host biology, particularly host reproduction. Here, we review the major findings of research of heritable microbial endosymbionts of butterflies and moths. We promote the Lepidoptera as important models in the study of reproductive manipulations employed by heritable endosymbionts, with the mechanisms underlying male-killing and feminisation currently being elucidated in both moths and butterflies.

  • Original Research Paper Commerce Zoology Moths (Lepidoptera) of A.V.C College and Adjoining Areas, Mannampandal: an Initial Chec
    Volume-5, Issue-9, September- 2016 • ISSN No 2277 - 8160 IF : 3.62 | IC Value 70.36 Commerce Original Research Paper Zoology Moths (Lepidoptera) of A.V.C College and Adjoining Areas, Mannampandal: an Initial Checklist Subhasish P.G. and Research Department of Wildlife Biology, A.V.C. College (Autonomous) Mannampandal, Mayiladuthurai 609305, Tamil Nadu Arandhara (India) ABSTRACT Moths are diverse group of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera and regarded as one of the indicators of a healthy environment. This study deals with the first documentation on the moth species of A.V.C. College campus and its adjoining areas of Mannampandal in Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu. The study was carried out from July 2015 to April 2016, surveying areas mostly in the college campus, human settlements and agricultural lands. The survey examined the light illuminated walls of the College campus where moths accumulated during the evening hours. Light trapping equipped with 18w UV-Actinic tube was also used to record moths from nearby agricultural lands. In total, the study identified 134 individuals of moths belonging to 76 species, 55 genera falling under 12 families. The genera Cyana represented the highest number of species, followed by Agathia and Asota with 7, 4 and 4 species each respectively belonging to Erebidae: Lithosiinae, Geometridae: Geometrinae, Erebidae: Aganainae (Family: Subfamily) respectively. The most commonly occurred species was Scirpophaga incertulas, followed by Aegocera venulia, Glyphodes bivatralis, with 20, 14 and 11 individuals respectively. KEYWORDS : A.V.C College Campus, Lepidoptera, Inventory, Moths A.V.C College Campus and its adjoining areas of Mannampandal is a temperature, weather conditions, altitudinal gradient, and the type agro-based village located in Mayiladuthurai town of the South In- of methods implemented.

Corresponding author: Vitaly M. Spitsyn, [email protected] Abstract An integrative study of the Indo-Burmese Geometridae in the collection of the Russian Museum of Biodiversity Hotspots (RMBH, Russia) revealed six newly recorded species for the fauna of Myanmar, i.e., Plutodes costatus (But- ler, 1886), Pogonopygia nigralbata Warren, 1894, Mixochlora vittata (Moore, 1867), Pelagodes bellula Han & Xue, 2011, Agathia carissima Butler, 1878 and A. codina Swinhoe, 1892. The occurrence of P. bellula is the first record of this taxon outside the Tibetan Plateau. Our findings highlight that the distribution of several Oriental geometrids could be broader than was previously suggested. Key words BOLD database; DNA barcoding; Ennominae; Geometrinae; Indo-Burma Region; integrative taxonomy.
