JOURNAL OF THE L E PI D 0 PTE R 1ST S' SOC I E TY Volume 29 1975 Number 3 ROSTROLAETILIA-A NEW NORTH AMERICAN GENUS OF THE SUBFAMILY PHYCITINAE, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF SEVEN NEW SPECIES (PYRALIDAE) ANDRE BLANCHARD P.O. Box 20304, Houston, Texas 77025 and DOUGLAS C. FERGUSON Systematic Entomology Laboratory, IIBIII, Agr. Res. Serv., USDA c/o U. S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 In his revision of the Anerastiinae (auctorum), Shaffer (1968) showed that this subfamily, which had been separated by Ragonot (1886) from the Phycitinae on the basis of a single reduction character, loss or ex treme reduction of the tongue, was not monophyletic. On the basis of the genitalia, he showed that some genera should remain separate from the Phycitinae and be treated under the subfamily name Peoriinae, a name previously used in a much broader sense by Hulst (1890). The remainder of the Anerastiinae, including the genus Anerastia Hubner, were considered by Shaffer to belong to the Phycitinae. For lack of sufficient information or material Shaffer left unplaced a few genera and species which he discussed briefly at the end of his revision. These are taxa that had not been treated by Heinrich (1956) because he thought that they were Anerastiinae and thus not within the scope of his revision of the Phycitinae. The present paper offers a redescription of three of these unplaced species, namely Altoona ardi fer ella Hulst, Aurora nigromaculella Hulst, and Parramatta placidella Barnes & McDunnough, as well as descriptions of seven new species. We were able to assign the three existing species names with confidence because the types are available, and their genitalia are distinctive. -

Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 35(3), 1981, 233-235 A NEW SPECIES OF OZAMIA RAGONOT (PYRALIDAE) FROM TEXAS ANDRE BLANCHARD 3023 Underwood, Houston, Texas 77025 AND EDWARD C. KNUDSON 804 Woodstock, Bellaire, Texas 77401 ABSTRACT. Ozamia multistriatella, a new species of the subfamily Phycitinae, is described. Imagines, male and female genitalia, and wing venation are figured. Ozamia multistriatella A. Blanchard & E. Knudson, new species Description: Head: Frons clothed with white tipped smokey gray scales. Vertex slightly darker. Maxillary palpi squamous. Labial palpi speckled white and black, ex ceeding frons by nearly two eye diameters. Antennae simple, whitish gray, bearing, on the male, thorn-like conical tufts of black scales on the first 6 or 7 segments of the flagellum, aligned along the inner surface.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Washington Vol. 86 : 1939 No^ 3953 THE CACTUS-FEEDING PHYCITINAE: A CONTRIBUTION TOWARD A REVISION OF THE AMERICAN PYRALI- DOID MOTHS OF THE FAMILY PHYCITIDAE By Carl Heinrich INTRODUCTION This paper is the first of a proposed series dealing with the Amer- ican moths of the family Phycitidae. It is my intention to publish from time to time revisions of those groups that, in other orders, are usually designated as tribes, and to conclude with a general discus- sion of the family, synoptic keys to these groups and their genera, and, if circumstances permit, an illustrated catalog of the American species. The cactus-feeding group is treated first because names are desired for certain undescribed species reared in connection with the investi- gations of the Commonwealth Prickly-Pear Board of Queensland. For several years A. P. Dodd and his associates on the board have been experimenting with cactus insects in an effort to eradicate or control the pricklypear in Australia. Apparently they have been successful. One phycitid species, Cactohlastis cactorum (Berg), has been liberated in Queensland and New South Wales and seems to have established itself and attacked the "pear" with phenomenal suc- cess. Mr. Dodd has in preparation a book dealing with the experi- ments of the board and the life histories of the insects they have studied. It is largely in anticipation of that book that the present taxonomic paper is offered. 109335—39 1 331 ; 332 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.88 Eighteen genera, 46 species, and 2 varieties are here treated. -

Assessing the Risk to Neptunia Oleracea Lour. by the Moth, Neurostrota Gunniella (Busck), a Biological Control Agent for Mimosa Pigra L
Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 449 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. pp. 449-457 (2000) Assessing the Risk to Neptunia oleracea Lour. by the Moth, Neurostrota gunniella (Busck), a Biological Control Agent for Mimosa pigra L. I. W. FORNO1, J. FICHERA1, and S. PRIOR2 1CSIRO Entomology, PMB 3, Indooroopilly Q4069, Australia 2Present Address: Department of Natural Resources, Magazine Street, Sherwood Q4075, Australia Abstract Mimosa pigra L. is native to tropical America and is an aggressive, invasive weed on the flood plains of the Northern Territory of Australia and in several countries in Southeast Asia. Neurostrota gunniella (Busck) (Gracillariidae) was introduced into Australia from Mexico in 1986 for biological control of mimosa. It was released in 1989 following com- pletion of extensive host range studies which determined that the moth bred readily on M. pigra and to a much lesser extent on Neptunia dimorphantha Domin, N. gracilis Benth., N. major (Benth.) Windler, N. monosperma F. Muell. and M. pudica L. Damage to these non-target species was assessed as insignificant. Subsequently, this moth was introduced to Thailand where quarantine studies showed substantial attack on an important vegetable, N. oleracea Lour., which is a perennial, aquatic herb which either grows prostrate near the water’s edge or floats by forming spongy aerenchyma around the stems. N. gunniella was not released in Southeast Asia. Further studies showed that N. gunniella oviposits and breeds similarly on potted M. pigra and the terrestrial form of N. oleracea but fewer eggs are laid and larval mortality is much greater on N. -

Biological Control of Water Hyacinth with Arthropods: a Review to 2000
Biological Control of Water Hyacinth with Arthropods: a Review to 2000 M.H. Julien* Abstract Water hyacinth, native to the Amazon River, invaded the tropical world over the last century and has become an extremely serious weed. The search for biological control agents began in the early 1960s and continues today. Six arthropod species have been released around the world. They are: two weevils, Neochetina bruchi and N. eichhorniae; two moths, Niphograpta albiguttalis and Xubida infusellus; a mite Orthogalumna terebrantis; and a bug Eccritotarsus catarinensis. The mite and X. infusellus have not contributed to control and the bug is under evaluation following recent releases in Africa. The two weevils and the moth N. albiguttalis have been released in numerous infestations since the 1970s and have contributed to successful control of the weed in many locations. It is timely to assess their impact on water hyacinth and, to help in planning future strategies, to identify the factors that contribute to or mitigate against successful biological control. Although the search for new agents continues, and as a result biological control will likely be improved, this technique alone is unlikely to be successful in all of the weed’s habitats. It is important that whole-of-catchment management strategies be developed that integrate biological control with other control techniques. The aims of such strategies should be to achieve the best possible control using methods that are affordable and sustainable; hence the need to develop strategies using biological control as the base component. WATER hyacinth apparently became a problem in the sation of the weed for commercial and subsistence USA following its distribution to participants in the purposes has also been widely considered. -
