This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The highly polyphagous light brown apple using the detailed biology reported by Danthanara- moth (LBAM) (Epiphyas postvittana (Walk.): yana and colleagues, and climate data from 151 Tortricidae) is indigenous to Australia and was first locations in California and Arizona for the period found in California in 2006. It is currently found in 15 1995–2006. The predictions of our model suggest that coastal counties in California, but nowhere has it the near coastal regions of California are most reached outbreak status. The USDA projects the favorable for LBAM, the northern Central Valley of geographic range of LBAM will include much of California being less favorable, and the desert regions Arizona and California and the southern half of the of Arizona and California being unfavorable. -

This species was described on the basis of a single female from Central Asia (Dshungarian Ala-Tau). A specimen collected by Dr. Z. Kaszab, Buda- pest, in Mongolia (Gobi Altai aimak : Baga nuuryn urd els, 1200 m., 12.VII.1966) has almost identical wing markings as the holotype of undu- lata. Its male genitalia (Figs 1, 2) are characterised as follows. Uncus fairly short, tapering terminally ; socius broad, sublateral ; sacculus strong, ven- trally convex, with long subapical process ; median part of transtilla so- mewhat expanded dorsally, without any spines ; aedeagus as in Ph. pulvillana (H.-S.), but distal process of juxta absent. The described specimen is most probably conspecific with undulata. Acleris kuznetsovi nom. n. Croesia 6/co/orKuzNETSOV, 1964, Ent.

Our results showed a continuous flight period for E. formosana - from the beginning of May to the first decade of October. Catches of R. resinella were recorded from the beginning of May to the second half of July. In addition to target species, we recorded 14 non-target tortricids during this study. The most abundant species among them was Cnephasia pasiuana, a known pest on poaceous crops in Bulgaria. We reported the attraction of males of this species to a mixture of E9-12Ac and Z9-12Ac in a ratio of 1: 1 (dos- age 300 µg). -

Introduction Braconinae is a large subfamily of cyclostomes group of parasitic wasps in the family Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea). They constitute more than 2900 described species that are mostly tropical and subtropical (YU et al. 2012). Members of this subfamily are often black, red, orange and/or white in colours. They are small to medium-sized insects, characterized by their concave labrum, absence of epicnemial carina, absence of occipital carina, females have extended ovipositor (SHARKEY 1993). -

Actinidia Deliciosa
Actinidia deliciosa Actinidia deliciosa, Fuzzy Kiwifruit or mangüeyo is a fruiting vine native to southern China, the fruit of which has been declared the national fruit of that country. Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan and north into southeastern Siberia. This species grows naturally at altitudes between 600 and 2,000 m. 1 Description and ecology Actinidia deliciosa is a vigorous, woody, twining vine or climbing shrub reaching 9 m.[1] The black-lyre leafroller moth (“Cnephasia” jactatana) is one of the few commercially significant pests of this plant. 1.1 Leaves Flower Male and female flowers appear on different plants (dioe- cious), and both sexes have to be planted in close prox- imity for fruit set. Bees are normally used by commercial orchards, although the more labour-intensive hand polli- nation is sometimes employed. Male flowers are gathered and processed to extract their pollen. This is then sprayed back on to the female flowers. 1.3 Fruits Main article: Kiwifruit The oblong fruits are up to 6.25 cm long. The russet- Foliage Its leaves are alternate, long-petioled, deciduous, oval to nearly circular, cordate at the base, and 7.5–12.5 cm long. Young leaves are coated with red hairs; mature leaves are dark-green and hairless on the upper surface, and downy- white with prominent, light-colored veins beneath.[1] 1.2 Flowers The flowers are fragrant, dioecious or unisexual, borne singly or in threes in the leaf axils, are five- to six-petalled, white at first, changing to buff-yellow, 2.5–5 cm broad, and both sexes have central tufts of many stamens, though those of the female flowers with no viable pollen.[1] The A kiwifruit cut in cross-section flowers also lack nectar. -
Predatory and Parasitic Lepidoptera: Carnivores Living on Plants
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 49(4), 1995, 412-453 PREDATORY AND PARASITIC LEPIDOPTERA: CARNIVORES LIVING ON PLANTS NAOMI E. PIERCE Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138, USA ABSTRACT. Moths and butterflies whose larvae do not feed on plants represent a decided minority slice of lepidopteran diversity, yet offer insights into the ecology and evolution of feeding habits. This paper summarizes the life histories of the known pred atory and parasitic lepidopteran taxa, focusing in detail on current research in the butterfly family Lycaenidae, a group disproportionately rich in aphytophagous feeders and myr mecophilous habits. More than 99 percent of the 160,000 species of Lepidoptera eat plants (Strong et al. 1984, Common 1990). Plant feeding is generally associated with high rates of evolutionary diversification-while only 9 of the 30 extant orders of insects (Kristensen 1991) feed on plants, these orders contain more than half of the total number of insect species (Ehrlich & Raven 1964, Southwood 1973, Mitter et al. 1988, cf. Labandiera & Sepkoski 1993). Phytophagous species are characterized by specialized diets, with fewer than 10 percent having host ranges of more than three plant families (Bernays 1988, 1989), and butterflies being particularly host plant-specific (e.g., Remington & Pease 1955, Remington 1963, Ehrlich & Raven 1964). This kind of life history specialization and its effects on population structure may have contributed to the diversification of phytophages by promoting population subdivision and isolation (Futuyma & Moreno 1988, Thompson 1994). Many studies have identified selective forces giving rise to differences in niche breadth (Berenbaum 1981, Scriber 1983, Rausher 1983, Denno & McClure 1983, Strong et al.
