Koçak Muhabbet Kemal Abstract: Koçak,A.Ö. & M.Kemal, List of the species in the genus Pelochrista Lederer, with some remarks (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae). Cent. ent. Stud., Misc. Pap. 98: 1-6. In this article, species of the genus Pelochrista Lederer (Tortricidae) are listed with their synonyms and world distributions. One replacement name, Pelochrista muhabbet (nom. nov.) Koçak is proposed. Some geographical errors published in World Catalogue of Insects vol.5. are corrected. Key words: Pelochrista, Tortricidae, Lepidoptera, nomenclature. Within the frame of the DLW 1, totally 84 species of the Holarctic genus Pelochrista Lederer are checked up, taking the recent Catalogue of the Tortricidae (Brown, 2005) into consideration. One new homonym name is recorded; consequently a replacement name is proposed. Several geographical errors recorded in the Catalogue (Brown, 2005) are mentioned and corrected. The species are listed below alphabetically with their synonyms in chronological order. The range of the species are indicated using the codes. The full list of the codes used in the Cesa projects are freely accessable in the following address: Koçak,A.Ö., 2006, Codelist of the World for Cesa Projects <http://www.members.tripod.com/Cesa88/Code.htm> 1 Diversity of the Lepidoptera in the World is an independent project supported by the Cesa from the year of 1998 on. The aim of this project is preparing a comprehensive database program on especially Old World Lepidoptera taxa for the scientific surveys of the Cesa researchers. It comprises, at present, 79500 valid taxa of the Lepidoptera.

    Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, under research permit #17-171 Report to Alberta Tourism, Park and Recreation, Parks Division November 2017 by Gregory R. Pohl Gregory Pohl and other members of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild were granted a research permit (#17-171) for moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) observation and collection in the Tolman - Rumsey area of central Alberta in the summer of 2017. This is our report of the species observed and collected in the area. Study Sites: The following sites were visited and sampled for Lepidoptera: 1. Rowley townsite (Figure 1). 51.760°N 112.786°W. July 14-16, 2017. Abandoned home sites and field margins; disturbed area along train tracks. Although not a protected area requiring a permit, this was our base of operations and camping area, it was convenient to observe and collect moths and butterflies here. Most of the species encountered here are expected to occur in nearby parks and natural areas. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting; UV light traps; mercury vapour lights. 2. "North Rumsey": Township Road 589, vicinity of Rumsey Natural Area. 51.965°N 112.625°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland with small sloughs. Although not technically within the Rumsey Natural Area, this site is very near and is comprised of similar habitat. The species seen here are all expected within the natural area. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting. 3. "West Rumsey": Western edge of Rumsey Natural Area (Figure 2). 51.882°N 112.691°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland and grassland.

  • Impact of Biological Control on Two Knapweed Species in British Columbia
    Impact of Biological Control on Two Knapweed Research Report Species in British Columbia Don Gayton, FORREX & Val Miller, B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Abstract Diffuse and spotted knapweed ( Centaurea diffusa Lam and C. stoebe L.) are two closely re - lated invasives found in many parts of British Columbia’s Southern Interior, causing sub - stantial economic losses in rangelands. Beginning in 1970, the provincial government initiated a long-term biological control effort against the knapweeds, introducing 10 dif - ferent insect agents from 1970 to 1987. In an effort to evaluate the efficacy of the program, archival (1983–2008) data was amassed from 19 vegetation monitoring sites that contained knapweed. In 2010, these sites were relocated and re-monitored and cover values were an - alyzed. Diffuse knapweed showed significant declines at 14 of 15 sites; spotted knapweed declined at three of four sites. Possible alternative explanations for the decline are dis - cussed. Evidence strongly points to a suite of biocontrol agents (seed feeders and root feed - ers) as the primary drivers of knapweed decline in British Columbia’s Southern Interior. KEYWORDS : biological control; British Columbia; Centaurea ; knapweed; monitoring Introduction iffuse knapweed ( Centaurea diffusa Lam.) and spotted knapweed ( Centaurea stoebe L.) are two introduced, closely related invasive forbs. These species are most com - Dmon in the northwestern United States and in western Canada. Centaurea stoebe (also referred to as C. maculosa Lam. and C. biebersteinii DC) is particularly widespread, reported in 45 US states and all provinces of Canada (Marshall 2004; Zouhar 2001). The drought-tolerant C. diffusa has an altitudinal range of 150–900 m, whereas C.

    Pelochrista medullana (Stgr.) INVASIVE SPECIES ATTACKED: Diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa Lam.) Spotted knapweed (C. beibersteinii auct.) TYPE OF AGENT: Root feeding moth COLLECTABILITY: Not established ORIGIN: Austria DESCRIPTION AND LIFE CYCLE Adult: Pelochrista medullana adult moths are grey and mottled- brown, small, 14-21 mm long, and closely resemble the knapweed flower bracts. Males and females emerge together at a near even ratio from mid-June to the end of July and peak during mid-July (in B.C. adults continue to emerge into August). They mate within 24 hours, usually at dusk when daily temperatures are 18-300C. Oviposition begins two to three days after mating and lasts for about 10 days. Females lay eggs singly, or in clusters up to three, onto leaves, preferring rosettes. When temperatures are optimal, the females will lay 42-120 eggs each. The number of eggs laid declines to 10 each during cool wet weather. The females die one day after they complete oviposition. In the lab, males lived 12.4 days, and females survived only one day longer. Egg: The oval, somewhat flattened, 0.03 x 0.35 mm, eggs have a Fig. 1. P. medullana adult (credit Powell et al. 1994) strong outer shell with distinct ribs. The white eggs gradually turn to dark yellow during incubation. When the temperature is constantly at 350C, they hatch in 7-9 days. Larva: The segmented larvae are whitish-yellow with brown head capsules. New larvae move from the leaf into the rosette centre and mine towards the root crown. Larvae develop through six instars and head capsule measurements are used to define each.

GILLIGAN1 & DONALD J. WRIGHT2 1 Colorado State University, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management, Fort Collins, CO 80523 USA.

Assignment to genus is based on generic redescriptions by Gilligan et al. (2013). A total of 709 names (including subspecies and synonyms) are listed, including 251 new combinations and 52 revised combinations. Key words: Olethreutinae, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Eucosmini Introduction The olethreutine lineage containing Eucosma, Pelochrista, and Phaneta is one of the largest in Tortricidae, with more than 500 described taxa. Its taxonomic history is a classic example of the confusion that results from a lack of clarity regarding generic concepts (Gilligan & Wright 2013, Gilligan et al. 2013). Here we present, in the form of a revised catalogue, the taxonomic implications of a phylogenetic analysis of the group by Gilligan et al. (2013). That study produced revised definitions of Eucosma and Pelochrista based on female genital morphology, concluded that nearly all North American Phaneta belong in the redefined Eucosma, and described Eucopina as a new genus of Pinaceae-feeding species that previously had been placed in Eucosma.

    Phylogeny, evolution and speciation of Choristoneura and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) by Giovanny Fagua González A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Giovanny Fagua González, 2017 Abstract Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well known genus because of its pest species, in the general context of the evolution of Tortricidae. It takes an inductive view, starting with analysis of phylogenetic, biogeographic and diversification processes in the family Tortricidae, which gives context for studying these processes in the genus Choristoneura. Tectonic dynamics and niche availability play intertwined roles in determining patterns of diversification; such drivers explain the current distribution of many clades, whereas events like the rise of angiosperms can have more specific impacts, such as on the diversification rates of herbivores. Tortricidae are a diverse group suited for testing the effects of these determinants on the diversification of herbivorous clades. To estimate ancestral areas and diversification patterns in Tortricidae, a complete tribal-level dated tree was inferred using molecular markers and calibrated using fossil constraints. The time-calibrated phylogeny estimated that Tortricidae diverged ca. 120 million years ago (Mya) and diversified ca. 97 Mya, a timeframe synchronous with the rise of angiosperms in the Early-Mid Cretaceous. Ancestral areas analysis supports a Gondwanan origin of Tortricidae in the South American plate.
