It is widely distributed in northeast Asia. A novel granulovirus, designated as Matsumuraeses phaseoli granulovirus (MaphGV), was isolated from pathogenic M. phaseoli larvae that dwell in rolled leaves of Astragalus membranaceus, a Chinese medicinal herb. In this study, using next-generation sequencing, we report the complete genome of MaphGV. MaphGV genome comprises a double-stranded DNA of 116,875 bp, with 37.18% GC content.

Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga.

Janzena,1 and Winnie Hallwachsa Edited by David L. Wagner, University of Connecticut, and accepted by Editorial Board Member May R. Berenbaum November 11, 2020 (received for review April 6, 2020) We have been field observers of tropical insects on four continents and, since 1978, intense observers of caterpillars, their parasites, and their associates in the 1,260 km2 of dry, cloud, and rain forests of Area´ de Conservaci ´onGuanacaste (ACG) in northwestern Costa Rica. ACG’s natural ecosystem restoration began with its national park designation in 1971. As human biomonitors, or “insectometers,” we see that ACG’s insect species richness and density have gradually declined since the late 1970s, and more intensely since about 2005. The overarching perturbation is climate change. It has caused increasing ambient tempera- tures for all ecosystems; more erratic seasonal cues; reduced, erratic, and asynchronous rainfall; heated air masses sliding up the volcanoes and burning off the cloud forest; and dwindling biodiversity in all ACG terrestrial ecosystems. What then is the next step as climate change descends on ACG’s many small-scale successes in sustainable biodevelopment? Be kind to the survivors by stimulating and facilitating their owner societies to value them as legitimate members of a green sustainable nation.

Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

While generalizations about the effects of northwestern Costa Rica and combined these data with records of parasitoids on community diversity are complex (7), a common- caterpillar hosts and morphological analyses. We asked whether place predictor of the impact of a parasitoid species on local host barcoding and morphology discover the same provisional species and dynamics is whether the parasitoid is a generalist or specialist. A whether the biological entities revealed by our analysis are congruent generalist, especially a mobile one, is viewed as stabilizing food webs with wasp host specificity.

  • Reproductive Biology and Longevity of Euplectrus Ronnai (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
    July - September 2003 481 BIOLOGICAL CONTROL Reproductive Biology and Longevity of Euplectrus ronnai (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) ANA C. YAMAMOTO AND LUÍS A. FOERSTER Depto. Zoologia, UFPR. C. postal 19.020, 81531-990, Curitiba, PR, e-mail: [email protected] Neotropical Entomology 32(3):481-485 (2003) Biologia Reprodutiva e Longevidade de Euplectrus ronnai (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) RESUMO - O ectoparasitóide Euplectrus ronnai (Brèthes) é um dos componentes do complexo de espécies que parasitam a lagarta do trigo Mythimna (Pseudaletia) sequax Franclemont (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Não há dados na literatura sobre o potencial de parasitismo, preferência por ínstares do hospedeiro e longevidade desse parasitóide, o que motivou a realização do presente trabalho. O parasitismo ocorreu entre o terceiro e o quinto ínstares do hospedeiro; lagartas de segundo instar inviabilizaram o desenvolvimento do parasitóide, e no primeiro e no sexto ínstares não houve oviposição pelas fêmeas de E. ronnai. O número de ovos depositados pelas fêmeas aumentou com o estádio de desenvolvimento do hospedeiro, variando de 1,5 ovos/lagarta no terceiro instar a 3,6 ovos/lagarta no quinto ínstar. A proporção de lagartas parasitadas entre os diferentes ínstares mostrou que E. ronnai apresenta preferência pelo quarto e quinto ínstares de M. sequax. Não houve diferença no tempo de desenvolvimento, na razão sexual, no número médio de lagartas parasitadas e na porcentagem de lagartas parasitadas em testes de livre escolha entre lagartas de quarto e de quinto ínstares. Entretanto, o número de parasitóides/hospedeiro foi significativamente maior em lagartas de quinto ínstar. A fecundidade média das fêmeas de E. ronnai foi de 63,7 ovos e cada fêmea parasitou a média de 20,3 lagartas.

  • General Notes
    230 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY GENERAL NOTES A SURVEY OF THE SPHINGIDAE OF SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA Sanibel Island, which lies ca. 3 mi. off the coast of Florida at FOlt Myers, is one of a series of islands that form a chain reaching from north of Charlotte Harbor to slightly south of the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. The island, which is roughly 12 mi. long by 3 mi. wide at its widest point, is currently suffering considerable habitat destruction from commercial development. However, large areas of relatively unspoiled land still remain. A survey was conducted to obtain data on the Sphingidae of Sanibel Island, inclading the relative abundance and feeding behavior of each species. The recent rapid commercial development of much of the island makes these data, obtained before this latest and largest wave of habitat destruction, especially important. METHODS Two methods of data collection were utilized in making this survey. The pri­ mary method involved observing and collecting specimens as they fed at flowers (mainly sea periwinkle, Vinca rosea), and collecting at lights was used as a sec­ ondary method. Three major sites were used in the primary method. Two of these sites were large open areas, largely covered with V. msea. Both of these sites were within 300 yd. of the Gulf of Mexico but were surrounded by large trees so that ocean breezes, which would influence feeding behavior, were negligible. The third site was farther inland. This site was partially covered with V. msea, but numerous bushes and small trees were scattered over it as well.
