The dorsum of the head and thorax are silvery gray to grayish brown. The antenna is grayish brown and deeply notched in the male. The forewing is light gray to light brown, and more or less powdered and mottled with different shades of silvery gray and light brown. The most conspicuous mark is a diffuse, pale to whitish band at about one-third the wing length. The band is usually sharply angled outward near the middle of the wing (sometimes less so), and is crisply outlined with a zone of dark brown to blackish scales on the posterior margin. These become more diffuse apically and end before reaching one-half the wing length. A small dark brown to blackish spot is often evident immediately behind the apex of the angle (chevron), but is frequently masked by the dark shading. There is a well-defined pair of small dark brown to blackish discal spots just beyond two-thirds the wing length, and a series of small dark dots on the wing tip that extends forward along the costal margin before fading out near the paired spots. In some individuals, the dark dots may be faint or completely missing. The hindwing and the fringe on both wings is light gray to grayish brown. <i>Asaphocrita aphidiella</i> is similar, but has more elongated, prominent palps and complex patterning on the apical third of the forewing. DISTRIBUTION: <i>Blastobasis glandulella</i> is widespread in North America and is well-established in central Europe where it has been introduced. In the West, it occurs in California, Arizona, and Colorado. Farther east, it occurs in southern Canada (Quebec; Ontario; Manitoba; Saskatchewan), and throughout most of the eastern US from Maine to Florida, and westward to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Minnesota. Populations in the West are in separate BINS (BOLD) and may constitute undescribed species. We have records from all three physiographic provinces, but the majority are from the Piedmont. FLIGHT COMMENT: The adults are active year-round in Florida and from March through October in other areas outside of North Carolina. As of 2021, our records are from early May through early September. HABITAT: The larvae feed on acorns, and exploited chestnuts before the widespread loss of mature trees due to chestnut blight. Local populations are found in a variety of hardwood forests or mixed hardwood-pine forests that support the host species. FOOD: The primary hosts are oaks, including members of both the white oak and red oak groups. In the East, the larvae feed on acorns of White Oak (<i>Quercus alba</i>), Chestnut Oak (<i>Q. montana</i>), Northern Red Oak (<i>Q. rubra</i>), and Black Oak (<i>Q. velutina</i>) (Robinson et al., 2010; Gibson, 1982). Other species are undoubtedly used. OBSERVATION_METHODS: The adults are attracted to lights and the larvae can be found by splltting open acorns. NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM RANKS: GNR S4S5 STATE PROTECTION: Has no legal protection, although permits are required to collect it on state parks and other public lands. COMMENTS: This species appears to be common throughout its range, particularly in the Piedmont where oaks abound. March 2021 The Moths of North Carolina - Early Draft 1.

SEGERER, Peter LICHTMANNECKER,Alfred HASLBERGER, Theo GRÜNEWALD & Richard HEINDEL Abstract The data here presented emerged from the current projects aiming to compile a genetic reference library of German animal species (Barcoding Fauna Bavarica = BFB; German Barcode of Life = GBOL) Five species are here reported as new for Bavaria: Tinea translucens MEYRICK, 1917 (Tine- idae), Blastobasis glanduella G. V. RILEY, 1871 (Blastobasidae), Elachista pomerana FREY, 1870 (Elachistidae), Monochroa sepicolella (HERRICH-SCHÄFFER, 1854) and Klimeschiopsis kininge- rella (DUPONCHEL, 1843) (both: Gelechiidae). Recent findings of the introduced species Tinea pallescentella STAINTON, 1851 (Tineidae), Clepsis dumicolana (ZELLER, 1847) (Tortricidae), and Cydalima perspectalis (WALKER, 1859) (Crambidae) are reported; the latter two may have establi- shed a (meta-)stable population in the town of Munich. A couple of other species are new for the different macrochores and districts of Bavaria, respectively. In the course of our investigations we also discovered historical specimens of Dichrorampha incognitana (KREMKY &MAS£ OWSKI, 1933) from Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg,

  • Impacts of Native and Non-Native Plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better Than Non-Natives?
    Impacts of Native and Non-native plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better than Non-natives? by Carl Scott Clem A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key Words: native plants, non-native plants, caterpillars, natural enemies, associational interactions, congeneric plants Copyright 2015 by Carl Scott Clem Approved by David Held, Chair, Associate Professor: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Ray, Research Fellow: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Debbie Folkerts, Assistant Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Robert Boyd, Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Abstract With continued suburban expansion in the southeastern United States, it is increasingly important to understand urbanization and its impacts on sustainability and natural ecosystems. Expansion of suburbia is often coupled with replacement of native plants by alien ornamental plants such as crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, and Japanese maple. Two projects were conducted for this thesis. The purpose of the first project (Chapter 2) was to conduct an analysis of existing larval Lepidoptera and Symphyta hostplant records in the southeastern United States, comparing their species richness on common native and alien woody plants. We found that, in most cases, native plants support more species of eruciform larvae compared to aliens. Alien congener plant species (those in the same genus as native species) supported more species of larvae than alien, non-congeners. Most of the larvae that feed on alien plants are generalist species. However, most of the specialist species feeding on alien plants use congeners of native plants, providing evidence of a spillover, or false spillover, effect.

  • Die Kleinschmetterlinge Der Oberen Plane Im Naturpark Hoher Fläming, Mark Brandenburg (Insecta, Lepidoptera)
    Märkische Ent. Nachr. ISSN 1438-9665 1. Dezember 2019 Band 21, Heft 2 S. 253-276 Die Kleinschmetterlinge der oberen Plane im Naturpark Hoher Fläming, Mark Brandenburg (Insecta, Lepidoptera) Wolfram Mey Summary The Microlepidoptera of the upper course of the Plane river in the Nature Park Hoher Fläming During five, consecutive years, the fauna of Microlepidoptera was studied on the upper Plane river in Brandenburg. The species were collected during day excursions and by light trapping. A total of 427 species were recorded including some rare species as Enteucha acetosae, Bohemannia quadri- maculella, B. pulverosella, Stigmella filipendulae, Caloptilia fidella, Phyllonorcter lantanella, Ela- chista fulgens and Scrobipalpa ocellatella. The species are listed in systematic order including their faunistic data. Zusammenfassung Die Kleinschmetterlinge der oberen Plane wurden von 2014 bis 2018 in zahlreichen Tagesexkursio- nen und bei Lichtfängen erfasst. Insgesamt konnten 427 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Darunter befanden sich einige in Brandenburg seltene Arten wir Enteucha acetosae, Bohemannia quadri- maculella, B. pulverosella, Stigmella filipendulae, Caloptilia fidella, Phyllonorcter lantanella, Elachista fulgens und Scrobipalpa ocellatella. Die Arten sind in systematischer Reihenfolge und mit ihren faunistischen Daten in einer Tabelle zusammengefasst. Einleitung In der Mark Brandenburg gibt es, wie in anderen Bundesländern auch, viele Gebiete, die entomo-faunistisch unzureichend erforscht sind. Dazu gehört auch der Hohe Fläming im Landkreis Potsdam-Mittelmark. Es ist eine reich gegliederte Endmorä- nenlandschaft des Saale Glazials mit bewaldeten Tälern und besitzt mit dem Hagel- berg (200,5 m) eine der höchsten Erhebungen in der Mark Brandenburg (LUTZE 2014). Obwohl es ein abwechslungsreiches und landschaftlich reizvolles Gebiet ist, haben sich in der Vergangenheit nur wenige Entomologen dort umgetan.

  • Species on the Menu of a Generalist
    Molecular Ecology (2009) 18, 2532–2542 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2009.04184.x SpeciesBlackwell Publishing Ltd on the menu of a generalist predator, the eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis): using a molecular approach to detect arthropod prey ELIZABETH L. CLARE,* ERIN E. FRASER,† HEATHER E. BRAID*, M. BROCK FENTON† and PAUL D. N. HEBERT* *Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada N1G2W1, †Department of Biology, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada N6A 5B7 Abstract One of the most difficult interactions to observe in nature is the relationship between a predator and its prey. When direct observations are impossible, we rely on morphological classification of prey remains, although this is particularly challenging among generalist predators whose faeces contain mixed and degraded prey fragments. In this investigation, we used a poly- merase chain reaction and sequence-based technique to identify prey fragments in the guano of the generalist insectivore, the eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis), and evaluate several hypotheses about prey selection and prey defences. The interaction between bats and insects is of significant evolutionary interest because of the adaptive nature of insect hearing against echolocation. However, measuring the successes of predator tactics or particular prey defences is limited because we cannot normally identify these digested prey fragments beyond order or family. Using a molecular approach, we recovered sequences from 89% of the fragments tested, and through comparison to a reference database of sequences, we were able to identify 127 different species of prey. Our results indicate that despite the robust jaws of L. borealis, most prey taxa were softer-bodied Lepidoptera.
