Zootaxa, Ammatucha (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae)

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Ammatucha Turner is recorded for the first time from China, with three species described as new: A. longilepigera Ren & Li, sp. nov., A. brevilepigera Ren & Li, sp. nov., and A. flavipalpa Ren & Li, sp. nov. The female of the genus is reported for the first time, and the generic diagnosis is amended accordingly. Ammatucha is compared to the superficially similar Ceroprepes Zeller. A map of the geographic distribution of Ammatucha for the world is presented, and a key for the identification of all described species based on male genitalia is included. Key words: Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae, Ammatucha, new species Introduction Ammatucha was erected by Turner (1922), with Ammatucha lathria Turner designated as the type species. Roesler & Küppers (1979) erected the genus Sumatraphycis Roesler and regarded Ammatucha lathria Turner as a synonym of Nephopteryx semiirrorella Hampson, the type species of Sumatraphycis. In the same paper, they described Sumatraphycis porisada Roesler & Küppers from Indonesia (Sumatra). Roesler (1983) synonymized Sumatraphycis Roesler with Ammatucha Turner and described one new species, Ammatucha piti Roesler. To date, the genus Ammatucha comprises three species, yet its female remained unknown. We describe the female of the genus and three new species from China, based on an amended generic diagnosis. All the specimens studied, including types, are deposited in the Insect Collection, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.

Identification of Dioryctria
SYSTEMATICS Identiﬁcation of Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in a Seed Orchard at Chico, California 1 2 3 1 AMANDA D. ROE, JOHN D. STEIN, NANCY E. GILLETTE, AND FELIX A. H. SPERLING Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(3): 433Ð448 (2006) ABSTRACT Species of Dioryctria Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are important pests of conifers, particularly in seed orchards, and accurate species identiÞcation is needed for effective monitoring and control. Variable forewing morphology and lack of species-speciÞc genitalic features hinder identiÞcation, prompting the search for additional diagnostic characters. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from the cytochrome c oxidase I and II genes (COI and COII) were obtained from specimens collected at lights, pheromone traps, and host plants in the PaciÞc Northwest, focusing on a U.S. Forest Service seed orchard in Chico, CA. A 475-bp fragment of COI was used to identify eight distinct genetic lineages from 180 Dioryctria specimens, and these were identiÞed as eight described species. Comparisons among mtDNA variation, adult morphology, larval host association, and pheromone attraction were used to assign individuals to species groups and to identify diagnostic characters for species identiÞcation. A 2.3-kb fragment of COI-COII was sequenced for 14 specimens to increase resolution of phylogenetic relationships. Species groups were well resolved using both the 475-bp and “DNA barcode” subsets of the 2.3-kb sequences, with the 475-bp fragment generally showing lower divergences. The zimmermani and ponderosae species groups were sister groups and had similar male genitalic morphology and larval feeding habits. The pentictonella group was sister to the zimmermani ϩ ponderosae group clade, and all species have raised scales and a Pinus sp.

Okdolbong in Bongwha, Gyeongbuk, where a national arboretum is planned to be constructed, through investigating the insect fauna and obtaining its evidence samples. In particular, this region is very important for studies on biodiversity and its preservation, and requires fundamental data for related studies such as investigations of vulnerable species and changes in their distribution associated with climatic changes. A total of 263 species including 1,689 individuals of moths was collected in this study. The most dominant species was Endotricha loivaceali with 222 individuals, and was followed by Hydrillodes morose with 97 individuals and Craneophora ficki with 86 individuals.

Phylogenetic Framework for Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) Based on Combined Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA and Morphology
685 Phylogenetic framework for Dioryctria (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) based on combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA and morphology Yanli Du,1 Amanda D. Roe, Felix A.H. Sperling2 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E9 Du711et al. Abstract—Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller are important lepidopterous pests of co- nifer cones throughout the Holarctic region. Seventy-nine Dioryctria species are currently recog- nized and arranged into 11 species groups, but a globally unified classification of these species groups has not been attained. We surveyed 14 Dioryctria species belonging to 7 species groups recognized as being taxonomically problematic. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and morphologi- cal characters were used to resolve relationships among and within species groups and species. Sequences were obtained for 2.3 kb of the mitochondrial COI + COII genes and related to 52 morphological characters. Parsimony analyses of separate and combined data showed that (i) the five included Chinese species (D. abietella (Denis and Schiffermüller), D. rubella Hampson, D. nr. rubella, D. magnifica Munroe, and D. yiai Mutuura and Munroe) were distinct from the North American taxa, and their relationships were interspersed among Nearctic and European species; (ii) three of the four species groups represented by more than one species formed robust, well-supported clades (abietella group, sylvestrella group, and zimmermani group) for both mtDNA sequences and morphology; (iii) mtDNA and morphology

Systematics of the Dioryctria Abietella Species Group (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Based on Mitochondrial DNA

STEIN, AND F.A.H. SPERLING Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 101(5): 845Ð859 (2008) ABSTRACT Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller include several serious pests of conifer seeds that are notoriously difÞcult to distinguish as species. We surveyed mitochondrial DNA variation within the abietella species group by sequencing 451 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and 572 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 (COII) genes from 64 individuals of six major species in the group. In addition to examining phylogenetic relationships within European members of the group, the study focused on the two most damaging species, D. abietivorella Grote from North America and D. abietella Denis & Schiffermu¨ ller from Europe and Asia, which have been considered taxonomically synonymous in the past. To detect different levels of divergence, we extensively sampled in seed orchards and natural forests for D. abietella on different hosts. Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses conÞrmed the monophyly of the abietella species group and its separation into three clades. The grouping of North American species (clade A) received strong support in both analyses, whereas relationships between clade A and the two European clades were weakly supported. Dioryctria simplicella Heinemann could not be unambiguously separated from D. abietella populations. The diverse haplotypes observed in the network analysis conducted with eight populations of polyphagous D. abietella suggested the presence of two distinct lineages in France. KEY WORDS Dioryctria, mitochondrial DNA, COI, COII, seed orchard The greater diversity of phytophagous insect clades merous examples of species complexes in which there compared with their nonphytophagous sister groups are evolutionarily signiÞcant entities that may or may has lead biologists to postulate that host plants strongly not represent species (Sperling 2003, Wahlberg et al.
