A total of 30 genera were recorded under ten families from the study area from November 2017 to December, 2017. The family Erebidae with 12 genera followed by family Crambidae with 9 genera, family Noctuidae with 2 genera, rest of the family Arctiidae, Sphingidae, Pterophoridae, Uraniidae, Geometridae, Scythrididae and Stathmopodidae with 1 genus each were recorded inside campus area. As 30 different genera of moth recorded within a short span of time, it can be presumed to have a good diversity of moth species inside campus area.

An outbreak of Spirama retorta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), affecting 800 ha of a one-year- old Acacia mangium plantation, occurred in May to October 1992 in Gunung Besaut Forest Reserve, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia. In the laboratory, more than 60% of larvae reared on A. mangium leaves reached adult stage. Development from egg to adult took 42 days through seven instars requiring 27 days.

  • Pest Outbreaks in Tropical Forest Plantations
    cover 04202 3/5/02 7:39 AM Page 1 CIFOR The success of exotic tree species in plantations has generally been attributed to P e s effective species-site matching and their t O O freedom from insect pests and diseases. u t b Nevertheless, there is a fear that catastrophic r e a outbreaks of pests and diseases may occur k s I suddenly in exotic plantations. There are two I n T opposing views: that plantations of exotic T r o species are at greater risk compared to p i c indigenous species and conversely that exotics a l F are at lesser risk. This report provides a critical F o r assessment of the risk of insect pest outbreaks e s t P in exotic plantations using an empirical P l a approach. Nine commonly planted species in n t a the tropics, Acacia mangium, Eucalyptus spp., t i o Gmelina arborea, Hevea brasiliensis, Leucaena n s leucocephala, Paraserianthes falcataria, Pinus caribaea, Swietenia macrophylla and Tectona grandis, were selected and their pest problems in natural forest stands, in indigenous species plantations and in exotic plantations were Pest Outbreaks in compared. Growing trees in monoculture increases the pest problem but the risk of pest Tropical Forest Plantations: outbreaks is not solely dependent on the exotic or indigenous status of a species. Pest outbreaks also occur in native plantations. The Is There a Greater Risk for Exotic Tree Species? theory relating to insect population dynamics and causes of pest outbreaks is discussed and several factors are identified that determine the risk of pest outbreaks in exotic monoculture plantations.

About 134 families comprising 157, 000 species of living Lepidoptera, including the butterflies has been documented globally [2], holding around 17% of the world's known insect fauna. Estimates, however, suggest more species in the order [3]. Naturalists for convenience categorised moths into two informal groups, the macro moths having larger physical size and recency in evolution and micro moths [4] that are smaller in size and primitive in origin .

N a u m a n n Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn Abstract The authors describe seven characters which provide useful information for phylogenetic analyses in the family Noctuidae and which had not been sufficiently evaluated by previous authors. These characters include (1) the microscopic and submicroscopic structure of the tip of the proboscis, (2) the structure of the male subcostal retinaculum, (3) the position of the male genitalic muscle 4, (4) development of the dorsal phragma on the second abdominal segment, (5) presence of sclerotized ridges on the abdominal tergites and stemites, (6) the presence of pre-abdominal brush-organs, and (7) certain modifications of the internal female genitalia. Using these characters, the authors provide arguments for the monophyly of the camptolomine-chloephorine- sarrothripine-noline lineage, and for the probable monophyly of a complex consisting of the so-called "trifine" noctuids, including the Bryophilinae and possibly the Acronictinae and Pantheinae.

Abstract We present here the checklist of moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) for the campus of Savitribai Phule Pune University, situated in the metropolis of Pune in the state Maharashra in India. We report identi/ication of 189 unique genera along with 154 unique species. Despite the relative small size of the observation area and the location being at the heart of a busy metropolis, the moths were found to be of diverse variety, with 26 different families and 76 tribes. The identifications of the species was crowd-sourced via iNaturalist.org. An automated program was developed to fetch the identi/ication and generate the list.
