Stored Grain Insects and Pea Weevil (Live) Insects Large – Dead Or Alive
To whom it may concern, Proposal for GTA Standards change regarding Cereal grains for categories: Stored Grain Insects and Pea Weevil (live) Insects Large – dead or alive Currently there is a lack of reference with insects of NIL tolerance applied by DA for export and that listed within GTA standards. This has the potential to cause contract disputes especially in the grower direct to port transactions. At present if a supplier delivers grain with live insects for example Small-eyed flour beetles and Black fungus beetles, there is no reference in the standards that declare such insects as NIL tolerance. If the buyer was loading a container direct for export this would pose a problem due to the NIL tolerance being applied by DA for export phytosanitary requirements. These insects are in the same category as Psocids which are listed in GTA receival standards. I would like to see the GTA "Stored Grain Insects and Pea Weevil (live)" & "Insects Large – dead or alive" reflect the Department of Agriculture PEOM 6a: Pests, Diseases and Contaminants of Grain and Plant Products (excluding horticulture) http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/aqis/exporting/plants-exports-operation-manual/vol6A.pdf I put forward the motion to have all major and minor injurious pests listed within PEOM 6a that apply to cereal grains to be of NIL tolerance within the GTA standards. 1) This would involve moving the Hairy Fungus Beetle Typhaea stercorea from “Insects Large – dead or alive” to the list of “Stored Grain Insects and Pea Weevil (live)”. Thus taking it from a tolerance level of 3 per half litre to NIL. -
Errata and First Update to the 2010 Checklist of the Lepidoptera Of
Errata and first uppppdate to the 2010 checklist of the Lepidoptera of Alberta Gregory R. Pohl, Jason J Dombroskie, Jean‐François Landry, Charles D Bird, and Vazrick Nazari lead author contact: [email protected] Introduction: Since the Annotated list of the Lepidoptera of Alberta was published in March 2010 (Pohl et al. 2010), a few typographical and nomenclatural errors have come to the authors' attention, as well as three erroneous AB records that were inadvertently omitted from that publication. Additionally, a considerable number of new AB species records have been brought to our attention since that checklist went to press. As expected, most are microlepidoptera. We detail all these items below, in what we hope will be a regular series of addenda to the AB list. If you are aware of further errors or additions to the AB Lepidoptera list, please contact the authors. Wit hin the NidNoctuoidea, there are a few minor iiiinconsistencies in the order of species wihiithin genera, and in the order of genera within tribes or subtribes, as compared to the sequence published by Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010). As well, the sequence of tribes in the AB list does not exactly match that of Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010), particularly in the Erebinae. We are not detailing those minor differences here unless they involve a move to a new genus or new higher taxonomic category. Errata: Abstract, p. 2, line 10, should read "1530... annotations are given" 41 Nemapogon granella (p. 55). Add Kearfott (1905) to the AB literature records. 78 Caloptilia syringella (p. 60). This species should be placed in the genus Gracillaria as per De Prins & De Prins (2005). -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Nemapogon Schrank, 1802 is reviewed in China. Nemapogon flabellata sp. nov., N. bidentata sp. nov. and N. ningshanensis sp. nov. are described as new; N. robusta Gaedike, 2000 and N. inconditella (Lucas, 1956) are newly recorded for China. Photographs of the adults and the genital structures are provided, along with a key to the known Chinese species. Key words: Lepidoptera, Tineidae, Nemapogon, new species, China Introduction The genus Nemapogon was established by F. Schrank in 1802 based on the type species Phalaena granella Linnaeus, 1758 (subequently designated by Fletcher 1929: 146). To date, 48 species have been described from the Palaearctic Region (Zagulajev 1964; Petersen 1953, 1957, 1961, 1983; Cǎpuse 1967; Robinson 1980; Gaedike 1983, 1986, 2000; Petersen and Gaedike 1992; Sutter 2000), 12 from the Nearctic Region (Davis 1983), and nine from the Oriental Region (Fletcher 1933; Zagulajev 1964; Robinson 1980; Robinson and Tuck 1996). There are three widespread, nearly cosmopolitan storage pests, N. granella (Linnaeus, 1758), N. cloacella (Haworth, 1828) and N. variatella (Clemens, 1859) [= personella (Pierce & Metcalfe, 1934)] (Zagulajev 1964; Robinson and Nielsen 1993). In China, Nemapogon granella was early reported from Tibet by Fletcher (1933), and subsequently studied as an important storage pest by Chinese scholars (Yang 1978; Chen 1984; Xie and Su 1992). -

South-Central England Regional Action Plan
Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths. -
Lepidoptera: Tineidae)
The North American Moths of the Genera Phaeoses, Opogona, and Oinophila, with a Discussion of Their Supergeneric Affinities (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) DONALD R. DAVIS m wtu. SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 282 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. -
New Data on the Distribution and Biology of Tineid Moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) Associated with Forest Habitats

Odrzańska 17/5, 50-113 Wrocław, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Zakład Ochrony Lasu, Instytut Badawczy Leśnictwa, Sękocin Stary, ul. Braci Leśnej 3, 05-090 Raszyn, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper presents data on the distribution of 24 species of tineid moths in Poland. The data were obtained based on a few methods of collecting of moths, mainly with use of artificial light and rearing of adults from decaying wood and bracket fungi inhabited by larvae. Nearly a dozen of species were recorded from particular regions of Poland for the first time. The study also revealed the new aspects of biology and ecology of a few species. KEY WORDS: faunistics, biological diversity, Microlepidoptera, clothes moths, fungus moths, bracket fungi, dead wood. Introduction Tineidae (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) constitutes a moth family abundantly represented in the world, distinguishable from among other taxa with original biology and habitat preferences (ROBINSON 2009). Its caterpillars – depending on a given subfamily – are mycetophages, lichenophages, keratophages, or saproxylophages, yet they more rarely feed on living plant parts. The majority of species inhabit old deciduous forests, where a high species diversity of arboreal fungi and rich ornitofauna are maintained. Forest areas that are economically intensively exploited are usually characterised with a low diversity of Tineidae, as the removal of dying and 92 X. DOBRZAŃSKI, T.
