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of new taxa from various tropical New World countries, chiefly from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Ecuador and the unpublished data on their morphology and dis- tribution.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.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis.

Aarvik, Târnveien 6, N-1430 As, Norway ; K. Larsen, Niels Frederiksensalle 21, DK-2700 Bronshoj, Denmark. Summary On the basis of several Ö and ç specimens collected by the authors in northern Norway in 1982 it is stated that Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) is a separate and valid species. In 1964 Opheim described mehli on the basis of a single specimen from northern Norway, but later Razowski (1979) changed its status to subspecies rank of the Japanese species Clepsis insignata Oku, 1963. Imago and genitalia of both sexes of the Clepsis species most related to mehli namely C. tannuolana Kostjuk, 1973 andC. insignata are figured and compared. C. mehli is more closely related to tannuolana than to insignata. Remarks on the variation and habitat of mehli are given. The description of Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) was based on a single male from northern Norway: Fn : Vardo, 20.VÜ.1 962 (R. Mehl, coll. Zoological Museum, Oslo). It was described in the genus Epagoge Hb. (Opheim, 1964). The second specimen of mehli, also a male, was found in northern Norway as well: Fi: Rafsnes, primo.vii.1979 (J.

  • Regional Population Dynamics of Argyrotaenia Citrana in Northwest
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THIS OF Alan Lee Knight for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on April 3, 1986. Title: Regional Population Dynamics of-Argyrotaenia citrana in Northwest Caneberry: Phenology, Overwintering Survivorship, and Movement as Measured by Pheromone Traps and Larval Sampling. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Developmental requirements were determined for both larva and pupa as 503 and 176 degree-days (dd) above a lower threshold of 5°C. Adult emergence occurred from 300 to 700 dd accumulated from January 1st. Cumulative male emergence preceded female's by 50- 80 dd. A PETE phenology model modified to include a temperature-dependent female activity function to regulate oviposition significantly improved prediction of egg hatch. Two pheromone trap catch peaks occurred in fields with overwintering populations. The first coincided with peak male emergence; as female emergence peaked, pheromone trap catches declined. The second peak occurred after 750 dd and varied in size with the first peak. The influence of female moth/pheromone trap competition on temporal patterns of trap catch was studied in a semi-enclosed courtyard. Three distinct periods of pheromone trap catch interpretation each bounded by a specific ratio of active males-to-calling females were seen. Two trap catch peaks typically occurred. Field sampling of overwintering populations, laboratory temperature bioassays, and controlled field experiments demonstrated that age-specific differences in cold hardiness exist among larval stages and correlation of historical winter temperatures with pheramone trap catch suggests winter severity is a major factor influencing the timing of spring emergence. A large grid of pheromone traps canbined with larval sampling were used to assess regional overwintering survivorship and seasonal movement patterns.

The scientific names of several pest species in the moth meate the literature. For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature. Most misuse stems from the for many years following Obraztsov’s (1959) treatment of the group. fact that many proposed name changes appear in systematic treat- They even appear at both taxonomic levels (i.e., Olethreutinae and ments that are not seen by most members of the general entomologi- Olethreutidae) in different papers in the same issue of the Canadian cal community.

Careful and accurate identification and classification of organisms are of vital importance so that the extents of their harmful and beneficial properties are established. Since some of the members of tribe Archipini are pests of various crops, so this study was conducted with the aim to identify, describe, name and classify these species and also prepare illustrated diagnostic keys for their quick and authentic identification and efficient management.

    U.S. FishFish & & Wildlife Wildlife Service Service Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Established in 1994, the 25,000-acre Givira arbeloides Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Prionoxystus robiniae is a remnant of what was once a much Carpenterworm Moth larger, frequently flooded, bottomland hardwood forest. You are still able to Crambid Snout Moths (Crambidae) view vast expanses of ridge and swale Achyra rantalis floodplain features, numerous bayous, Garden Webworm Moth oxbow lakes, and cypress/tupelo swamps Aethiophysa invisalis along the Trinity River. It is one of Argyria lacteella only 14 priority-one bottomland sites Milky Urola Moth identified for protection in the Texas Carectocultus perstrialis Bottomland Protection Plan. Texas is Reed-boring Crambid Moth home to an estimated 4,000 species of Chalcoela iphitalis moths. Most of the nearly 400 species of Sooty-winged Chalcoela moths listed below were photographed Chrysendeton medicinalis around the security lights at the Refuge Bold Medicine Moth Headquarters building located adjacent Colomychus talis to a bottomland hardwood forest. Many Distinguished Colomychus more moths are not even attracted to Conchylodes ovulalis lights, so additional surveys will need Zebra Conchylodes to be conducted to document those Crambus agitatellus species. These forests also support a Double-banded Grass-veneer wide diversity of mammals, reptiles, Crambus satrapellus amphibians, and fish with many feeding Crocidophora tuberculalis on moths or their larvae.

  • Five New Species of Argyrotaenia (Tortricidae: Archipini) from Mexico and the Southwestern United States
    Journal of the Lepidnpterists' Society .53(3), 1999. 114-125 FIVE NEW SPECIES OF ARGYROTAENIA (TORTRICIDAE: ARCHIPINI) FROM MEXICO AND THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES JOHN W. BROWN Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Plant Sciences Institute, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture c/o National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC 20560-0168, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) AND ASHLEY CRAMER Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, U.S.A. ABSTRACT. Based on an examination of 187 specimens, five new species of Argyrotaenia are recognized from Mexico and the south­ western United States. A hypothesis of the phylogenetic relationships among the species is derived using Hennig86 to find the most paJ'simo­ nious solution to the distribution of 14 morpholOgical characters (5 characters of the forewing, 7 of the male genitalia, and 2 of the female gen­ italia). Argyrotaenia spinacallis Brown & Cramer, new species, from the State of Veracruz, A. unda Brown & Cramer, new species, from the states of Mexico and Morelos, and A. octavana Brown & Cramer, from the states of Puebla and Veracruz, appear to form a monophyletic group with A. ponera (Walsingham), from Puebla. The last is redescribed and illustrated. Although superficially similar, A. coconinana Brown & Cramer, new species, from Arizona and New Mexico, and A. bialbistriata Brown & Cramer, from Arizona (Cochise Co.) and Durango, Mexico, may not be members of the "ponera group" owing to their considerable divergence in male and female genitalia. Additional key words: phylogeny, ponera group, morphology, genitalia. With the exception of a single widespread Palaearc­ sonian Institution, Washington, DC.
