It follows the papers of the similarly enti- tledseriesontheCochylinistartedbyRAZOWSKI &BECKER (2002). The papers consist of the descriptions of new taxa from various tropical New World countries, chiefly from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Ecuador and the unpublished data on their morphology and dis- tribution. Archipini are rather sparsely represented in the Neotropical region except for two large genera, Argyrotaenia and Clepsis. Apart of them there are eight genera, endemic in this region. Most of them were originally represented by single species (cf. RAZOWSKI &BECKER 2000a). During last tenyearstheknowledgeontheirdistributionhaslittlechanged.

    Phylogeny, evolution and speciation of Choristoneura and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) by Giovanny Fagua González A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Giovanny Fagua González, 2017 Abstract Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well known genus because of its pest species, in the general context of the evolution of Tortricidae. It takes an inductive view, starting with analysis of phylogenetic, biogeographic and diversification processes in the family Tortricidae, which gives context for studying these processes in the genus Choristoneura. Tectonic dynamics and niche availability play intertwined roles in determining patterns of diversification; such drivers explain the current distribution of many clades, whereas events like the rise of angiosperms can have more specific impacts, such as on the diversification rates of herbivores. Tortricidae are a diverse group suited for testing the effects of these determinants on the diversification of herbivorous clades. To estimate ancestral areas and diversification patterns in Tortricidae, a complete tribal-level dated tree was inferred using molecular markers and calibrated using fossil constraints. The time-calibrated phylogeny estimated that Tortricidae diverged ca. 120 million years ago (Mya) and diversified ca. 97 Mya, a timeframe synchronous with the rise of angiosperms in the Early-Mid Cretaceous. Ancestral areas analysis supports a Gondwanan origin of Tortricidae in the South American plate.

Józef RAZOWSKI, Insitute of the Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy * ofSciences, S³awkowska17, 31-016Kraków,Poland. E-mail:[email protected] I.INTRODUCTION The number of genera of Tortricidae has increased dramatically over last 50 years; by 2007 there were over 1630 described genera, including synonyms. Many of the older de- scriptions are scattered throughout the literature, and because there are few larger synthetic treatments of the tortricids for most major biogeographic regions, this large number of taxa complicates considerably the work of taxonomists on the faunas of poorly known regions of the planet. In addition, characters that define many of the genera are not clearly articu- lated. The distribution of many genera is still insufficiently known, and this shortcoming frequently results in unexpected findings, e.g., the discovery of Afrotropical genera in the Neotropics. These types of discoveries may cause confusion for specialists that focus on thefaunaofasinglegeographicregion. The literature abounds with re-descriptions and diagnoses of tortricid genera, but many are rather short, frequently lacking comparisons with similar or related taxa.

  • Moths & Butterflies
    Moths & Butterflies of Eagle Valley Preserve Compiled by Kyle E. Johnson Data Sources and Acknowledgements This checklist is based almost entirely on specimens collected and determined by the author (470+ species). Andrew Williams contributed seven additional species. All species are based on voucher specimens; these are housed in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Insect Research Collection (WIRC), with a few duplicates in other research collections. The specimens have detailed data and are fully databased. The Kohler Trust for Preservation provided funding for this project. I thank Brett & Carole Mandernack for their hospitality and enthusiasm while visiting the preserve. I thank Dan Young and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Insect Research Collection for the lab space and other resources which make such projects possible. Finally, I thank Bob Borth and Steve Bransky for good company in the field. Micro Moths = 156+ species Butterflies = 35 species Macro Moths = 286+ species Total Lepidoptera = 477+ species Biodiversity on the Preserve How many more species are out there? A whole lot is the short answer. Sampling on the preserve has only spanned two years; there are plenty of weaknesses in seasonal coverage, habitats which have been sparsely investigated, and sampling techniques which need attention. Additional species even lurk among the specimens already collected as some remain unidentified, the vast majority of these being “micro moths”. Thus the micro moths are underrepresented in this checklist. A conservative estimate suggests that 470 species is roughly one third of the actual diversity. At Mosquito Hill Nature Center in Outagamie County Hugo Kons Jr. (pers. comm.) surveyed for macro moths and butterflies intensively over many years; he documented an impressive 782 species.
