First report of Casamainnotatain Jebel Brourmet forest, Tataouine, Tunisia. Tunisian Journal of Plant Protection 11: 251-254. At the end of December 2009, an important defoliation of Acacia horrida was observed in the southern part of Tunisia, at Jebel Brourmet, Tataouine. Mature larvae, pupae and egg masses of Casama innotata were observed on defoliated A. horrida trees. In this paper, we presented a first report of this species in Tunisia. Keywords: Acacia horrida, Casama innotata, South of Tunisia. __________________________________________________________________________ At the end of December 2009, a Brourmet forest was performed to defoliation of Acacia horrida trees was identify the pest at the species level. PCR observed in Jebel Brourmet (329 m alt.), amplification and DNA sequencing were located in Tataouine (32°56’N; 10°26’E) conducted at the Canadian Center for situated in the South of Tunisia. Mature DNA Barcoding (CCDB), Guelph, larvae (Fig. 1) and pupae of Casama Canada, following standard high- innotata (Erebidae, Lymantriinae) were throughput protocols (3) that can be observed on defoliated A. horrida trees accessed under the website (9).

Manuscript Info Abstract ……………………. ……………………………………………………………… Manuscript History Indian arid zone covers 31.7 million ha hot desert and 0.78 million ha cold desert, which is about 12 percent of the country‟s total Received: 12 June 2016 geographical area. The mean annual rainfall in the region varies from Final Accepted: 19 July 2016 100 mm in the north- western sector of Jaisalmer to 550 mm in eastern Published: August 2016 districts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana. The rainfall is highly erratic having 65 percent coefficient of variability. The vegetation in Key words:- the Indian arid zone is very sparse , scanty and thorny. However, the Forest, Bruchid, Parasitoid.. forests and trees like many other plants, suffer from attack by insect pests and diseases which cause a lot of damage, resulting in poor tree growth, poor timber quality, and in some cases, complete destruction and reduction of forest cover in Indian arid zone also. Thus, trees and forests need to be protected from these agents of destruction. With the ever increasing human and livestock population, the amount of forest per capita is declining particularly in the less industrialized or developing areas of the world. It is estimated that the land under forest in developing countries is about 2100 million hectares, or more than half of the forested land on earth.

  • On the Winter and Spring Aspect of the Macrolepidoptera Fauna of Jordan with Remarks on the Biology of Some Species
    © Münchner Ent. Ges., download www.biologiezentrum.at Mitt. Münch. Ent. Ges. 102 65-93 München, 15.10.2012 ISSN 0340-4943 On the winter and spring aspect of the Macrolepidoptera fauna of Jordan with remarks on the biology of some species (Lepidoptera: Tineoidea, Cossoidea, Bombycoidea, Papilionoidea, Geometroidea, Noctuoidea) Dirk STADIE and Lutz LEHMANN († 1) Abstract The results of two lepidopterological expeditions to Jordan from December 20 to December 30, 2008 (provinces of Irbid, Karak, Tafila und Ma’an) and March 19 to March 25, 2009 (provinces: Zarqa, Tafila, Irbid and Balqa) are presented. A total of 166 species of Macrolepidoptera could be recorded, among them 21 species new for Jordan. Desertobia heloxylonia lawrencei subsp. n. is described. The female genitalia of Odontopera jordanaria (STAUDINGER, 1898) comb. n., are figured for the first time. The larvae of Odontopera jordanaria STAUDINGER, 1898, Minucia wiskotti (PÜNGELER, 1902), Allophyes benedictina (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola pauli (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola scabra (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola staudingeri RONKAY, 1984, Conistra acutula (STAUDINGER, 1892), Polymixis apora (STAUDINGER, 1898) and Polymixis juditha (STAUDINGER, 1898) are described and figured. Introduction Our knowledge of the winter aspect of the macrolepidoptera fauna of the southwestern Palaearctic region is still lower compared to other seasons. It has been shown during expeditions that in countries with subtropical- mediterranean climate an interesting macrolepidoptera fauna with numerous poorly known or even new species could be ascertained, in the eremic as well as in the steppe and mediterranean zone. The focus of this communication is on the Noctuidae family, because Noctuid species dominate the species composition in winter (e.g.

  • Systematic List of the Noctuoidea of Europe (Notodontidae, Nolidae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae, Micronoctuidae, and Noctuidae)
    Esperiana Buchreihe zur Entomologie Bd. 11: 93-205 Schwanfeld, 29. Juni 2005 ISBN 3-938249-01-3 Systematic List of the Noctuoidea of Europe (Notodontidae, Nolidae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae, Micronoctuidae, and Noctuidae) Michael FIBIGER and Hermann H. HACKER Superfamily NOCTUOIDEA LATREILLE, 1809 Remarks to Classification In the European List of Noctuidae (FIBIGER and HACKER, 1991) we refrained from writing a justification for subdividing the family into subfamilies and tribes. Our understanding of the classification of the family has progressed since then, but only to some extent therefore several paraphyletic or even polyphyletic groupings still remain in the Noctuidae (s.l.) and in the other families dealt with here. Most of the tribes listed here are monophyletic and we believe that most of them will stand the test of time. In groups where research is lasting, we refer to the latest knowledge available. For example the family Noctuidae has now been divided into three families, the Noctuidae, Micronoctuidae and Erebidae, these corresponding roughly to the groups previously called “quadrifid“ and “trifid“ noctuids. Ongoing research, however, suggests that the arctiid clade might be derived from within the Erebidae (WELLER and MITCHELL, pers. com.). Other important results have been published in the last 13 years, some of which are: KITCHING and RAWLINS (in KRISTENSEN, 1998); KITCHING and YELA (1999); SPEIDEL, FÄNGER and NAUMANN (1996); SPEIDEL and NAUMANN (1996); POOLE (1995, and his catalogue from 1989); the North American Moths of North America (MONA) book series: LAFONTAINE and POOLE (1991), POOLE (1995), LAFONTAINE (1998, 2004); BECK (1996, 1999, 2000); the volumes of the book series Noctuidae Europaeae (1990-2003); and many papers in Esperiana.

ABSTRACT To truly understand the current status of tropical diversity and to forecast future trends, we need to increase emphasis on the study of biodiversity in rural landscapes that are actively managed or modified by people. We present an integrated landscape approach to promote research in human-modified landscapes that includes the effects of landscape structure and dynamics on conservation of biodiversity, provision of ecosystem services, and sustainability of rural livelihoods.
