  • 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Armyworms, So Named Because Of
    1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Armyworms, so named because of the characteristic movement en masse of their larvae, are important pests of cereals, pastures and forage crops in many parts of the world. In North America, the true armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haworth) is a sporadic pest of agricultural crops (Guppy, 1961; Beirne, 1971). The African army- worm, Spodoptera exempta (Walker) is a pest of graminaceous crops and pasture grasses, with larval outbreaks occurring throughout eastern, central and southern Africa (Haggis, 1986; Wilson & Gatehouse, 1993). The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker) is an important pest of cereals and pasture grasses throughout its range in eastern Asia, Oceania and Australasia (Sharma & Davies, 1983). Several armyworm species are found in Australia. These are the common armyworm, Mythimna convecta (Walker), the northern armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), the sugarcane armyworm, Mythimna loreyimima (Rungs), the southern armyworm, Persectania ewingii (Westwood), the inland armyworm, Persectania dyscrita Common, the lawn armyworm, Spodoptera mauritia (Boisduval), the day-feeding armyworm, Spodoptera exempta (Walker), the cluster catterpillar Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), the lesser armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) and Spodoptera umbraculata (Walker). The common armyworm, M. convecta is an endemic species which is widely distributed throughout Australia (Common, 1965; Woods et al., 1980; McDonald & Smith, 1986). The moth has a wing span of 3-5 cm, with yellow brown or red brown forewings speckled with black dots and with a small white spot near the centre, and with grey hindwings (Plate 1.1). A fully fed larva is about 4 cm long, smooth, green brown, red brown or purplish brown with three prominent lateral body stripes of similar width (Plate 1.2).

We can, however, only print material that we actually receive and you are encouraged to send in your observations and notes or suggestions for topics you would like to see published. These articles would be termed Naturalist Notes - see in our editorial policy below. Editorial Policy Scope The Victorian Naturalist publishes articles on all facets of natural history. Its primary aims are to stimulate interest in natural history and to encourage the publication of arti- cles in both formal and informal styles on a wide range of natural history topics. Authors may submit the material in the following forms: Research Reports - succinct and original scientific communications. Contributions - may consist of reports, comments, observations, survey results, bib- liographies or other material relating to natural history. The scope is broad and little defined to encourage material on a wide range of topics and in a range of styles. This allows inclusion of material that makes a contribution to our knowledge of natural his- tory but for which the traditional format of scientific papers is not appropriate.
