    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.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Moths of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    MOTHS OF UMATILLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE: Results from 10 sites Sampled May 22-23, 2017 Dana Ross 1005 NW 30th Street Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 758-3006 [email protected] SUMMARY Macro-moths were sampled from the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge for a third time 22-23 May, 2017 as part of an ongoing pollinator inventory. Blacklight traps were deployed for a single night at ten sites representative of major plant communities in the McCormack and Paterson Units. A grand total of 331 specimens and 36 moth species were sampled. Of those, 17 species (47%) were documented from the refuge for the first time. In a somewhat larger geographical context, 21 species were recorded for the first (8), second (7) or third (6) time from Morrow County, Oregon while 4 species were documented for the first (1) or second (3) time from Benton County, Washington. INTRODUCTION National Wildlife Refuges protect important habitats for many plant and animal species. Refuge inventories have frequently included plants, birds and mammals, but insects - arguably the most abundant and species-rich group in any terrestrial habitat - have largely been ignored. Small size, high species richness and a lack of identification resources have all likely contributed to their being overlooked. Certain groups such as moths, however, can be easily and inexpensively sampled using light traps and can be identified by regional moth taxonomists. Once identified, many moth species can be tied to known larval hostplant species at a given site, placing both insect and plant within a larger ecological context. Moths along with butterflies belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of the Dingy Cutworm Complex
    RESEARCH CIRCULAR 202 SEPTEMBER 197 5 An Annotated Bibliography of the Dingy Cutworm Complex Feltia ducens Walker and Feltia subgothica Haworth FRED J. ARNOLD OHIO AGRICULTURAL RESE CONTENTS * * * * Introduction ................................................................... 1 Bibliography ................................................................... 4 Index . 22 Dingy Cutworm Larva Dingy Cutworm Adult AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE DINGY CUTWORM COMPLEX, Feltia ducens Walker and Feltia subgothica (Haworth) Roy W. Rings 1 , Beth A. Baughman 2 , and Fred J. Arnold 2 Introduction The purpose of this circular is to consolidate the abstracted literature on the dingy cutworm complex, Feltia ducens Walker and Feltia subgothica (Haworth). The term "dingy cutworm complex" is used since there is much con­ fusion and disagreement between both earlier and contemporary taxonomists as to the correct usage of the scientific name of the economically important dingy cutworm. Contemporary taxonomists agree that Feltia ducens and Feltia subgothica have been considered distinct species for more than 70 years. In the past there has been debate as to whether the latter species should be called sub­ gothica or jaculifera. In this publication, the authors are following the nomenclatural policy of the United States National Museum which is based upon Forbes' interpretation of the complex. The photographs on the contents page illustrate the species which the authors consider the dingy cutworm, Feltia ducens Walker. Forbes (1954) believed that Haworth (1810) probably had ducens and subgothica mixed up. He implied that it is not certain which species Haworth described as subgothica and therefore Forbes called it jaculifera. Several other authors (Hampson 1903; McDunnough 1938; Smith 1893) believed that Haworth had only a single specimen.
