Dept. of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research branch, Tehran, Iran 1; Iranian Research Institute of plant protection, P. O. Box 19395-1454, Tehran, Iran 2. Corresponding author: [email protected] ∗. During a survey on the damaged elms in Almahdi, Shaghayegh, Taslihat and Magidiyeh parks in the summer of 2010, the larvae and pupae of a Bucculatrix species were collected. After emerging of the adult specimens, they were determined as Bucculatrix ulmifoliae M. Hering, 1931. As far as our knowledge, five Bucculatrix species are reported from Iran so far: Bucculatrix ulmella , 1848 which is reported on elm tree in Tehran region (1), B. pomifoliella Clemens, ?that is collected in Khorasan region on apple tree (7), and the three species namely B. iranica Deschka, 1981, B. endospiralis Deschka, 1981 and B. pectinella Deschka, 1981 which are collected from the south of Iran and introduced as new species by Deschka (1981) (2). This is the first report of Bucculatrix ulmifoliae from Iran. During recent years this species has caused extreme damages on the elm trees in some parts of Tehran. The genus Bucculatrix is cosmopolitan with more than 220 known species (3) mostly (about 180 species) distributed in the North American and Eurasia (6) B. ulmifoliae is widespread in all parts of Europe including The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italian mainlands, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, England, south and central parts of Russia, Sardinia, Sicily, Slovakia and Yugoslavia (4, 5).

  • (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and Leafflower Trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus Sensu Lato [Glochidion]) in Southeastern Polynesia
    Coevolutionary Diversification of Leafflower Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and Leafflower Trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus sensu lato [Glochidion]) in Southeastern Polynesia By David Howard Hembry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Rosemary Gillespie, Chair Professor Bruce Baldwin Professor Patrick O’Grady Spring 2012 1 2 Abstract Coevolution between phylogenetically distant, yet ecologically intimate taxa is widely invoked as a major process generating and organizing biodiversity on earth. Yet for many putatively coevolving clades we lack knowledge both of their evolutionary history of diversification, and the manner in which they organize themselves into patterns of interaction. This is especially true for mutualistic associations, despite the fact that mutualisms have served as models for much coevolutionary research. In this dissertation, I examine the codiversification of an obligate, reciprocally specialized pollination mutualism between leafflower moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and leafflower trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus sensu lato [Glochidion]) on the oceanic islands of southeastern Polynesia. Leafflower moths are the sole known pollinators of five clades of leafflowers (in the genus Phyllanthus s. l., including the genera Glochidion and Breynia), and thus this interaction is considered to be obligate. Female moths actively transfer pollen from male flowers to female flowers, using a haired proboscis to transfer pollen into the recessed stigmatic surface at the end of the fused stylar column. The moths then oviposit into the flowers’ ovaries, and the larva which hatches consumes a subset, but not all, of the developing fruit’s seed set.

    J01lrnal of the Lepidopterists' Society 51( 3),1997, 227- 236 TWO NEW SPECIES OF ASTERACEAE-FEEDING BUCCULATRIX (BUCCULATRICIDAE) FROM CALIFORNIA DANIEL Z, RUBINOFF D epartment of Environmental Scie nce Policy and Management, University of C aliiomia, Berke ley, California 94720, USA AND K E NDALL H, OSBOHNE De partme nt of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA ABSTRACT. Bucculatrix tetradymiae, new species and Uucculatrix dominatrix, new species are described and illustrated. Bucculatrix tetradymiae feeds on Tetradyrnia axillaris (Strothe r) (Asteraceae) and Bucculatrix dominatrix feeds on Baccharis pilularis (d e Candolle) (Asteraceae) and can be distinguished from sympatric, Baccharis-feeding Bucclliatrix variahilis (Braun) and Bucculatrix separa!?ilis (Brann) by its large r size, dis­ tinct forewing pattern, and genitalia. Additional key words: Tetrydamia, Baccharis, leaf miner, Lyone tiidae , microlepi­ doptera. Zimmerman (197R) resurrccted the family Bucculatricidae (Bucculat­ rigidae) from Lyonetiidae, a move first proposed by Fracker (1915). The family is e asily discerned, being characterized by an "elongate pointed face , tufted head, basal eye-cap of the ante nna and, in the male, the notched first segment of the flagellum ... " (Braun 1963). The larvae typically are leaf miners in the early ins tars, and then become external feeders, although a few species maturc in the mine and some are gall­ makers. For a complete d escription of the family refe r to Braun (1963). The family is cosmopolitan with 222 species described from all land forms except New Ze aland (H eppner 1991). More than 100 occur in North America, mostly in arid regions (Braun 1963), Larvae of many weste rn spe cies feed on Aste raceae, including the two species we de ­ scribe h ere .

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:182 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/182 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Increased gene sampling strengthens support for higher-level groups within leaf-mining moths and relatives (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) Akito Y Kawahara1*, Issei Ohshima2, Atsushi Kawakita3, Jerome C Regier4, Charles Mitter1, Michael P Cummings5, Donald R Davis6, David L Wagner7, Jurate De Prins8 and Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde9 Abstract Background: Researchers conducting molecular phylogenetic studies are frequently faced with the decision of what to do when weak branch support is obtained for key nodes of importance. As one solution, the researcher may choose to sequence additional orthologous genes of appropriate evolutionary rate for the taxa in the study. However, generating large, complete data matrices can become increasingly difficult as the number of characters increases. A few empirical studies have shown that augmenting genes even for a subset of taxa can improve branch support. However, because each study differs in the number of characters and taxa, there is still a need for additional studies that examine whether incomplete sampling designs are likely to aid at increasing deep node resolution. We target Gracillariidae, a Cretaceous-age (~100 Ma) group of leaf-mining moths to test whether the strategy of adding genes for a subset of taxa can improve branch support for deep nodes. We initially sequenced ten genes (8,418 bp) for 57 taxa that represent the major lineages of Gracillariidae plus outgroups. After finding that many deep divergences remained weakly supported, we sequenced eleven additional genes (6,375 bp) for a 27-taxon subset.
