United States National Museum Bulletin 276
,*f»W*»"*^W»i;|. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION MUSEUM O F NATURAL HISTORY UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 276 A Revision of the Genus Malacosoma Hlibner in North America (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae): Systematics, Biology, Immatures, and Parasites FREDERICK W. STEHR and EDWIN F. COOK SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON 1968 PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series. Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the field of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium. This work forms number 276 of the Bulletin series. -

The genus contains approximately 30 species (depending on species/subspecies rankings), none of which are present in North America. Four species are covered here: D. sibiricus, D. superans, D. pini, and D. punctatus. Dendrolimus sibiricus, the Siberian silk moth, and D. superans, the white-lined silk moth, were once treated as a single species (D. superans sibiricus and D. superans albolineatus), but recent molecular studies have demonstrated that they are distinct species. Dendrolimus sibiricus occurs over much of Russia and extends into Mongolia, China, and Korea; D. superans occurs from Japan north to Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands (Russia). Both species feed on a variety of coniferous trees (Abies, Larix, Picea, Pinus, Tsuga, etc.), causing significant defoliation and potentially the death of entire forests if trees are defoliated over several successive years. -

Asian Defoliators Sharpening Your Observation Skills Objectives
Asian Defoliators Sharpening Your Observation Skills Objectives • To learn how to recognize key characteristics of Dendrolimus (lappet moths) and Lymantria (gypsy moths) • To learn how to recognize similar, native, look-alike species and distinguish them from the potential invaders Introduction • Defoliation = the removal of all or part of the foliage of a plant • Herbivore = an animal which eats only plants • Insect defoliators damage plants by eating leaves or needles Photo: tent and defoliation on aspen © William M.

Faunistic analysis and seasonal fluctuation of ladybeetles in an agro-ecological system installed for organic vegetable production. Bioscience Journal. 2021, 37, e37016. https://doi.org/10.14393/BJ-v37n0a2021-53540 Abstract Plans for an agro-ecological system for agricultural production must consider vegetal diversification in agricultural properties because, among other advantages, it can help the biological control of pests when it focuses on such an end. Predator ladybeetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) can be found in different environments; they play an important role in biological control. The aims of the present study were to feature ladybeetle populations through faunistic analysis and determine their fluctuations in an agro- ecological system comprising seven sub-systems subjected to different cultivation systems in Seropédica County, RJ. The experiment was conducted from December/2018 to December/2019 at Módulo de Cultivo Orgânico Intensivo de Hortaliças (MCOIH), which is located at Sistema Integrado de Produção Agroecológica (SIPA).
