The Sphingidae (Lepidoptera) of the Philippines
©Entomologischer Verein Apollo e.V. Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at Nachr. entomol. Ver. Apollo, Suppl. 17: 17-132 (1998) 17 The Sphingidae (Lepidoptera) of the Philippines Willem H o g e n e s and Colin G. T r e a d a w a y Willem Hogenes, Zoologisch Museum Amsterdam, Afd. Entomologie, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands Colin G. T readaway, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract: This publication covers all Sphingidae known from the Philippines at this time in the form of an annotated checklist. (A concise checklist of the species can be found in Table 4, page 120.) Distribution maps are included as well as 18 colour plates covering all but one species. Where no specimens of a particular spe cies from the Philippines were available to us, illustrations are given of specimens from outside the Philippines. In total we have listed 117 species (with 5 additional subspecies where more than one subspecies of a species exists in the Philippines). Four tables are provided: 1) a breakdown of the number of species and endemic species/subspecies for each subfamily, tribe and genus of Philippine Sphingidae; 2) an evaluation of the number of species as well as endemic species/subspecies per island for the nine largest islands of the Philippines plus one small island group for comparison; 3) an evaluation of the Sphingidae endemicity for each of Vane-Wright’s (1990) faunal regions. From these tables it can be readily deduced that the highest species counts can be encountered on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72), Mindanao, Leyte and Negros (62 each). -

Part III. Pests of Selected Forest Tree Species
PART III Pests of selected forest tree species PART III Pests of selected forest tree species 143 Abies grandis Order and Family: Pinales: Pinaceae Common names: grand fir; giant fir NATURAL DISTRIBUTION Abies grandis is a western North American (both Pacific and Cordilleran) species (Klinka et al., 1999). It grows in coastal (maritime) and interior (continental) regions from latitude 39 to 51 °N and at a longitude of 125 to 114 °W. In coastal regions, it grows in southern British Columbia (Canada), in the interior valleys and lowlands of western Washington and Oregon (United States), and in northwestern California (United States). Its range extends to eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montana, and northeastern Oregon (Foiles, 1965; Little, 1979). This species is not cultivated as an exotic to any significant extent. PESTS Arthropods in indigenous range The western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis) and Douglas-fir tussock moth (Orgyia pseudotsugata) have caused widespread defoliation, top kill and mortality to grand fir. Early-instar larvae of C. occidentalis mine and kill the buds, while late- instar larvae are voracious and wasteful feeders, often consuming only parts of needles, chewing them off at their bases. The western balsam bark beetle (Dryocoetes confusus) and the fir engraver (Scolytus ventralis) are the principal bark beetles. Fir cone moths (Barbara spp.), fir cone maggots (Earomyia spp.), and several seed chalcids destroy large numbers of grand fir cones and seeds. The balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae) is a serious pest of A. grandis in western Oregon, Washington and southwestern British Columbia (Furniss and Carolin, 1977). Feeding by this aphid causes twigs to swell or ‘gout’ at the nodes and the cambium produces wide, irregular annual growth rings consisting of reddish, highly lignified, brittle wood (Harris, 1978). -

Department of Wildlife Biology, A.V.C.

About 134 families comprising 157, 000 species of living Lepidoptera, including the butterflies has been documented globally [2], holding around 17% of the world's known insect fauna. Estimates, however, suggest more species in the order [3]. Naturalists for convenience categorised moths into two informal groups, the macro moths having larger physical size and recency in evolution and micro moths [4] that are smaller in size and primitive in origin . -

Nepal, with Area 147181 Km
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nepal, with area 147,181 km2, occupies the central part of Himalaya that stands between the Palaeartic (Holartic) and Plaeotropical (Indo-Malayan) regions. The country is located between latitudes 26o22' and 30o27' N and longitudes 80o40' and 88o12' E. The country is partitioned lengthwise into Palearctic and Oriental sets of floral and faunal provinces (Smith, 1989). Nepal comprises only 0.09% of land area on a global scale, but it possesses a disproportionately rich diversity of flora and fauna at genetic, species and ecosystem levels. Nepal has a relatively high number of fauna species invertebrates and vertebrates both. Higher fauna groups have been relatively well studied, however the taxonomy and distribution of the lower fauna groups, except for the butterflies and to some extent the spiders, have yet to be studied. An inventory made by Thapa (1997) covers approximately 5,052 species of insects recorded from Nepal, 1,131 species (over 22 percent) have been first discovered and described from Nepalese specimen. The entomological inventory recorded 789 species of moths and 656 species of butterflies (Thapa, 1998). Among Nepal‟s insect fauna, many taxonomists have worked on butterflies of Nepal and a fair amount of taxonomic studies and identification guides are available for the group (Smith 1989, 1990). 640 species of butterflies have been recorded, distributed in different ecological zones. Smith's book is the first to cover this extremely interesting fauna in a comprehensive format. He has given the complete species and subspecies name, author, date of publication, common name if available, range of wingspan, comments on distribution (usually to district within Nepal), seasonality, elevational range, distribution outside Nepal, and the species' relative abundance. -
