  • (Lepidoptera:Heterocera) of Pakistan
    INT. J. BIOL. BIOTECH., 4 (2-3): 113-119, 2007. CHECK LIST OF MOTHS (LEPIDOPTERA:HETEROCERA) OF PAKISTAN S. Kamaluddin1, S. Nargis Viqar2, K.A.B. Saeed Khan1 and Aliza Ali2 1Department of Zoology, Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Campus, Karachi, Pakistan. 2Department of Zoology, Government Degree College for Women, Block-M, North Nazimabad, Karachi, Pakistan. ABSTRACT A check-list of moths of Pakistan with species and families name and distribution with their host association is given. Key words: Check-list, Moths, Heterocera, Pakistan. INTRODUCTION Moths are members of order Lepidoptera. Moths and Butterflies have scale-covered wings, from which the scientific name is derived (Gr. lepis means scale and pteron means wing). The Lepidoptera include about 130,000 known species, with an incalculable number still to be found and described, especially in the tropics. Of these, the Butterfly accounts for around 18,500 species and rest of them goes into the account of Moths. Moths have frequently held our fascinated attention but it has to be admitted that the most common interaction between humanity and moths is when moths are acting as pests. Many migrant moths continue to fly on, even when they have reached an area where there is suitable habitat available. They seem to be “programmed” to use up their metabolic resources before they stop. Moths and Butterflies share common life cycle and the various ways in which this is adapted to differing climates, habitats and conditions. All adult female Lepidoptera lays eggs. Many adult moths disperse either within the habitat or to new suitable areas elsewhere.

  • Importation of Citrus Spp. (Rutaceae) Fruit from China Into the Continental
    Importation of Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) United States fruit from China into the continental Department of Agriculture United States Animal and Plant Health Inspection A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Pest Risk Service Assessment January 14, 2020 Version 5.0 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Citrus from China Executive Summary The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prepared this risk assessment document to examine plant pest risks associated with importing commercially produced fruit of Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) for consumption from China into the continental United States. The risk ratings in this risk assessment are contingent on the application of all components of the pathway as described in this document (e.g., washing, brushing, disinfesting, and waxing). Citrus fruit produced under different conditions were not evaluated in this risk assessment and may have a different pest risk. The proposed species or varieties of citrus for export are as follows: Citrus sinensis (sweet orange), C. grandis (= C. maxima) cv. guanximiyou (pomelo), C. kinokuni (Nanfeng honey mandarin), C. poonensis (ponkan), and C. unshiu (Satsuma mandarin). This assessment supersedes a qualititative assessment completed by APHIS in 2014 for the importation of citrus from China. This assessment is independent of the previous assessment, however it draws from information in the previous document. This assessment is updated to be inline with our current methodology, incorporates important new research, experience, and other evidence gained since 2014.
