Their caterpillars feed on family Musaceae and construct leaf rolls to make shelters, which can cause the reduction of the banana's leaf area, the decline of the photosynthesis rate of plants, and the reduction of plant growth and fruit yields. E. torus was discovered as a new banana pest in Taiwan since 1986. And rapidly spread all over the island in the early 1990s. Their caterpillars not only damage cultivated bananas but also feed on endemic Taiwanese bananas. The flying ability of the banana skippers does not allow them to fly across the distant ocean barrier, and they usually do not leave the host plant area too long. Thus, it seems very likely that the banana skippers in Taiwan and other countries was introduced by human activities. In the first part, we employing the standard phylogeographic methodologies to test the possible geographic sources of the population of the two banana skippers introduced in various countries of the world. Moreover, the other members in this genus and the sister group of the genus Erionota mainly utilize Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae as their host plant, while only the family Musaceae are utilized by E. torus and E. thrax as their host plant. In the second part, we sequences utilized molecular evidence, mitochondrial COI+COII and nuclear Ef-1α, to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship of the genus Erionota and map the pattern of hostplant use onto this inferred tree. We obtain 28 specimens from 15 localities in 8 counties, and distinguished 10 haplotypes. The population in Taiwan shares the same 3 haplotype with the specimens from Okinawa, Japan (Yonaguni Is and Ishigaki Is) and Fujian Province, China. Thus, the invasion source to Taiwan is very likely from Fujian Province, China. Our result showed a clear pattern that the genetic differentiation among the populations in Asia reflected the geographic distance between the collecting localities. The results highly supported that the genus Erionota is a monophyletic group. The six species we obtained in this research are also representing six monophyletic groups. Moreover, the banana skippers, E.thrax and E.torus, are a monophyletic group which represents a single host shift from Arecaceae or Zingiberaceae to Musaceae. Keywords: Erionota, host shift, invasive species, phylogeny 4 Introduction Invasive species: a serious problem worldwide Many human activities, such as those related to agriculture, aquaculture, recreation, and transportation, result in both the deliberate and accidental dispersal of species across natural barriers. Although unintentionally transported species may die out en route or soon after arriving at a new habitat, other exotic species may survive and colonize the new territory. The threat and significance of this problem is difficult to evaluate. However, evidence suggests that it is widespread and serious (Carlton 2000). Invasive species can facilitate the diffusion of diseases, which may have serious consequences for human or animal health (Stewart 1991, van Riper 1991, Atkinson et al. 1995, Beadell et al. 2006, Strayer et al. 2006). Moreover, the negative effects of predation (Vitousek et al. 1996, Wardle et al. 2001, Phillips et al. 2003, Simon and Townsend 2003, Baxter et al. 2004, Croll et al. 2005, Anderson et al. 2006, Lovett et al. 2006) and competition for resources (Evans 2004, Jones et al. 2008, Beckmann and Shine 2009) can cause the loss of indigenous biodiversity and threaten native ecosystem (Vitousek et al. 1996, Wardle et al. 2001, Phillips et al. 2003, Simon and Townsend 2003, Baxter et al. 2004, Croll et al. 2005, Anderson et al. 2006, Lovett et al. 2006). Invasive species may have devastating economic effects as well (Vitousek et al. 1996). For example, costs resulting from environmental damage and the implementation of measures to control harmful invasive species in the United States have been estimated at nearly $120 billion per year (Pimentel et al. 2005). Although the anthropogenic dispersal of plants is harmful, it may also 5 be neutral or profitable. Nearly all human societies have depended on the deliberate relocation of plants (Mark and Lonsdale 2001) and establishing plants beyond their native ranges has been essential to the development of agriculture (Hodge and Erlanson 1956). Bananas: one of the world's most important crops Bananas and plantains are one of the most widely consumed foods in the world (Rossmann et al. 2012). They belong to the largest and most economically important genus, Musa, in the family Musaceae. Species belonging to Musaceae are characterized by an above-ground pseudo stem (false stem), large, flexible, and waterproof leaves, and hanging clusters of elongated, edible fruits. According to the latest estimates (2010) by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), land devoted to banana farming covers approximately 5,014.06 thousand hectares globally with total production of 102,028.17 thousand tons. The origin and domestication history of bananas is extremely complex (Kennedy 2008). However, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence suggests that bananas were first cultivated in Papua New Guinea and can be traced back to around 8,000 BCE (Bowdery 1999, Denham et al. 2003, Lentfer 2003). Banana plants are primarily cultivated for their fruits, and to a lesser extent, to make fiber, wine, and as ornamental plants. As a nutritional, low-price, high-productivity versatile crop, bananas have spread widely across the tropical and subtropical regions, with a substantial trade history beginning at the end of the nineteenth century. Improvements in cooling and refrigerated shipping have enabled bananas to be transported over long 6 distances from the tropics to world markets and across over 150 countries. The banana was introduced to Taiwan from Fujian, China, approximately 200 years ago. Following the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, farmers focused on improving banana varieties, transforming bananas into a superior agricultural fruit, and establishing Taiwan’s banana industry (Ho 1975). In the 1960s, Taiwan’s banana cultivation area measured over 40,000 hectares, and Taiwan was among the major producers of bananas in the world. The current banana cultivation area in Taiwan is 10,664 hectares, with the total production output equaling approximately 260 tons (Agriculture and Food Agency,

KEY WORDS Lepidoptera! inventory1 tropical rainforesti species diversity1 species richness! insect fauna Introduction The primary lowland forests in the Southeast Asian (SEA) tropics are characterized by the extremely species-rich biodiversity (Whitmore 1998). Arthropod assemblages comprise the main part of the biodiversity in tropical rainforests (Erwin 1982, Wilson 1992). Many inventory studies have been done focusing on various arthropod taxa to reveal the species-richness of arthropod assemblages in SEA tropical rainforests (e.g. Holloway & lntachat 2003). The butterfly is one of the most studied taxonomic groups in arthropods in the SEA region; the accumulated information on the taxonomy and geographic distribution were organized by Tsukada & Nishiyama (1980), Yata & Morishita (1981), Aoki et al.

One of the most important folivorous insect pest on these crops is the banana skipper; Erionota thrax. The larvae of these large butterflies can cause mean leaf defoliation of about 60, leading to yield losses of about 20. Indigenous to Southeast Asia, life stages of the pest are attacked by several parasitoids of which Ooencyrtus erionotae, Cotesia erionotae and Brachymeria spp. are the major ones. Infestation and parasitism of the pest varies with plant growth stages, leaf ages, between interior and field edges, and seasons. Significantly higher infestation and parasitism found on pre-flowered plants, younger leaves and during the rainy season. In addition, eggs and larvae are randomly distributed while pupae are clumped and parasitized eggs and pupae are clumped while that of larvae is random. Although E. thrax has never been reported on non-Musa species or weeds, other smaller Erionota species have been recorded on Asystacia intrusa, Ipomoea cairica, Mimosa pudica

A new subspecies, Pyroneura callineura natalia subspec. nov. is described and illustrated. Taxonomic notes on certain species are presented. Since the previous publication summarizing the knowledge of the Hesperiidae in the southern part of Vietnam (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 2000), several further localities have been visited by research expeditions and individual collectors. The annotated list below is based predominantly on the material collected in the Cat Tien Na­ ture Reserve in 2000 (no year is given for the label data in the list), which was most profoundly studied and proved to be very rich and diverse in terms of the butterfly fauna, and contains new records for the south of the country along with some taxonomic corrections made in view of the new data. Although some of the areas concerned in this paper may be geographically attributed to the southern part of Central Vietnam (or Annam), they were not regarded in our previous publica­ tions dedicated to the northern and central areas of the country (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 1999, 2002), the new data thus being supplementary to those published before on the south­ ern part of Vietnam (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 2000).

Webb1* Abstract. Habitat loss and urbanisation in the tropics have been recognised as major drivers of species extinctions. Concurrently, novel habitats such as urban parks have been shown to be important as habitats and stepping stones in urban ecosystems around the world. However, few studies have assessed long-term patterns of species extinctions and discoveries in response to these drivers in the tropics. We know little about long-term persistence and utility of novel habitats in tropical urban ecosystems. In this study, we produced an updated and exhaustive butterfy checklist of species recorded from Singapore till December 2017 to investigate trends in butterfy extirpations (local extinctions), discoveries (new country records) and rediscoveries and how these relate to land use change in 28 years (1990–2017) in Singapore. Up to 144 butterfy species were identifed to be extirpated in Singapore by 1990. From 1990–2017, an additional nine butterfy extirpations have potentially occurred, which suggests a maximum of 153 butterfy extirpations to date. The rate of extirpations between 1990 to 2017 (< 0.33 extirpations per year) was much lower than the rate of extirpations between 1926 to 1989 (> 1.52 extirpations per year). The majority of potentially extirpated butterfies between 1990 to 2017 were species restricted to mature forests.

Baringbing and Bariyah-Baringbing 1 ABSTRACT A three-year field study to investigate species of pests on four (4) coconut cultivars: PB-1 21, PB-111, KH17VA-1 and dwarf Salak, was carried out in Lampung province involving 11 visits from November 1991 to April 1993. Only two regencies: Lampung Utara and Lampung Tengah with 3 and l sub-districts, respectively were surveyed But only three sub-districts of Lampung Utara: Sungkai Selatan, Manggala and Mesuji and only Terbanggi Besar in Lampung Tengah were studied Observations of Brontispa longissima Gestro, Plesispa reichei Chapuis, Oryctes rhinoceros Linnaeus, Xylotropus Gideon (Linnaeus), Rhynchophorus vulneratus (Panzer), and the others were studied. Results of the study showed that no cultivars were resistant to any species of pests in Lampung province. There were 19 species of pests, 2 of which do not belong to the insect present in the 2 regencies. The 17 species of insects belong to 4 orders including: Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Homoptera and Orthoptera in 3, 5, 1 and l families, respectively. INTRODUCTION Lampung province is one of the potential areas for developing some industrial crops including coconut for the land is broad with low-land area, and the population is relatively low (Baringbing, 1992c). Statistics show that the province ranks 7 in the number of coconut palms planted at 177,691 hectares. From the 1989 data, we could see the increased land utilization at the rate of 9.68% per annum. (Anonymous, 1989; 1990). Even with this, coconut area in Lampung only constitute 5.3 3 % of the total coconut area in Indonesia with an average production of 111,890 tons of copra or 5.01% of national production.
