College Park. MD 20742 USA: email: [email protected] Abstract. For over 150 years, the proper taxonomic placement of Phyllocnistis Zeller has remained largely uncertain. The genus shares morphological and life history traits with several different families of Microlepidoptera, and these characteristics have made it challenging for microlepidopterists to correctly place the genus. Phyllocnistis includes P. citrella Stainton, a globally important economic pest of citrus. We review the taxonomic history of Phyllocnistis and provide a comprehensive list of references. Introduction The leaf-mining genus Phyllocnistis ZeUer, 1848 is an example of a poorly studied genus whose taxonomic placement has vacillated between many different families. Eighty seven species of Phyllocnistis are described worldwide (De Prins & De Prins 2005, 2009), 36 from the Oriental region, 17 from Australasia, 15 from the Palaearctic, and 12 each from the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Only five are known to occur in the Afrotropical region (De Prins & De Prins 2005, 2009).

A considerable amount of aUention has been paid in Japan for a long time to a species of leaf-miner belongillg to the genus Id olletia Hb. as one of of the important peach pests. Sasaki first described this leaf-miner in 190i) and again in 1910. め However ， its complete life-history has not been worked out until 1909 ， when Kuwana and Takachiho studied this insect at the Imperial Agricul- tural tural Experiment Station ，Tokyo ，and published their re 叩lt in 1911. め In In their paper they used Lyolletia clerkella L. as the spedfic name of this this peach leaf-miner. Since that time no one seems to have studied the life-history life-history of this insect ，though there are a few more descriptions め of it. In In Europe Lyonetia clet ルル L. has been known since the time of Linnaeus. 5 And the accounts of this insect are numerous. Stainton ) described it in Great Great Britain as early as 1859; in Ge rmany Heinemann described this 6 species species in his celebrated work ) which was published from 1863 to 1870 and stated in that work that it was very common on the Continent.

  • Lepidoptera Fauna of Namibia. I. Seasonal Distribution of Moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, Northern Namibia

Seasonal distribution of moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, northern Namibia Grzegorz KOPIJ Department of Wildlife Management, University of Namibia, Katima Mulilio Campus, Private Bag 1096, Katima Mulilo, Namibia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the years 2011–2013, moths were collected in Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in the Cuvelai Drainage System, Ovamboland, northern Namibia. In total, 77 species from 13 families have been identified. Their seasonal occurrence in this habitat was also investigated, with most species recorded in wet season between September and April, but with clear peak in February and March. The family Noctuidae was by far the most speciose (38 recorded species), followed by Crambidae (8 spp.), Sphingidae (6 spp.) and Arctiidae (4 spp.). All other families were represented by 1–3 species. For each species listed date of collection is given, and data on its global distribution. Key words: Lepidoptera, check-list, biodiversity, distribution, moths, Ovamboland INTRODUCTION According to recent quite precise estimate, there are 15 5181 species, 16 650 genera and 121 families of Lepidoptera worldwide (Pouge 2009). Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia has recently attracted attention of European entomologists. However, thorough surveys were conducted hitherto in a few areas only, such as Brandberg and Hobatere. The northern regions of the country were especially badly neglected. In southern Africa (south of Zambezi and Kunene Rivers) – 8 511 species, 2 368 genera and 89 families were recently catalogued (Vári et al.

BY JINSHICHI SHIBU¥A~ The object of this paper is to give a systematic account of the species belonging to the pyraustinae, a subfamily of ryralidae, Lepidoptera, which have hitherto been described from Japan, or recorded as occurring in this country. The preliminary account of the Pyraustinae of Japan was given by C. STOLL in his Papillons Exotiques, vol. iv, 1782, and in this publication he described a new species Phalaena (Pyralis) fascialis STOLL (=l£ymenia recurvalis FABR.). In 1860, MOTSCHULSKY in Etud. Entom. vol. ix, enu­ merated a new genus Nomis (= Udea), two new species Sylepta quadri­ maculalis, Udea albopedalis, the latter is the genotype of Nomis, and an unrecorded species Pyrausta sambucalis SCHIFF. et DEN. In regard to Sylepta quadrimaculalis MOTSCH., this species was originally placed under genus Botyodes, and with its specific name Sylepta quadrimaculalis was already given by KOLLER for a Pyralid-moth in 1844, while G. F. HAMPSON elected a new name Sylepta inferior H~IPSN. for S. quadrimaculalis MOTSCH. In 1863, LEDERER in Wien. Ent.

  • Modeling Hydroprene Effects on Eggs and 5 Instar Wandering Phase Larvae of the Indianmeal Moth, Plodia Interpunctella
    MODELING HYDROPRENE EFFECTS ON EGGS AND 5th INSTAR WANDERING PHASE LARVAE OF THE INDIANMEAL MOTH, PLODIA INTERPUNCTELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE) by SIVAKUMAR MOHANDASS B.Sc., (Agriculture) Mahathma Phule Agriculture University, 1998 __________________________________________________________ A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Entomology College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2005 ABSTRACT The control of Indianmeal moth [Plodia interpunctella (Hübner)], a commonly found serious stored product pest around the world, relies mainly upon chemical control methods. Because of recent changes in the laws and regulations governing pesticide usage in the United States, there is an increasing need for finding safer chemicals to control insect pests. Hydroprene, an insect growth regulator, is considered to be a safe alternative. In this study, I quantified the effects of hydroprene on two critical life stages of Indianmeal moth, the eggs and 5th instar wandering phase larvae. Maximum development time in the untreated controls was 13.6 ± 0.6 d at 16°C and minimum development time was 2.3 ± 0.4 d at 32°C. At 20°C and 24°C, the effect of hydroprene on egg development became more evident; development time generally increased with exposure interval, with some variability in the data. The mean egg mortality among all temperatures was 7.3 ± 4.6%. Among the treatments, mortality of eggs increased as the exposure periods increased within any given temperature, with a dramatic increase in mortality with increase in temperature. Egg mortality was lowest at 16°C when exposed for 1 h (0 ± 3%), but mortality gradually increased up to 32 ± 3% when exposed for 18 h.

It is crop of more than 150 counties. The major maize growing countries are USA, China, Brazil, Mexico, France and India. It is third most important cereal crop in India after rice and wheat that occupies about 8.12 million hectares having production of 19.3 million tones with average productivity of 2.37 tonnes/ ha during 2007-08. It is an important crop that holds a unique position in world agriculture, for food (25%), animal feed (12%), and poultry feed (49%), starch (12%), brewery (1%) and seed 1%. Apart from normal maize it has many other types viz. quality protein maize (QPM), sweet corn, baby corn, pop corn, waxy corn, high oil, etc. It generates employment for many million people in the world. Single cross hybrids (SCH) are most productive among the other types of hybrids and composite varieties of maize. Productive inbred lines are the strength of hybrid development programme. As many as 44 single cross hybrids of different maturity have been developed in a short span of period for different agro-ecological conditions.
