During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

[email protected] ABSTRACT Human activities can have dramatic impacts on animal populations around urban areas with heavy metal contamination being a primary cause of hazardous effects. Insects as residents of ecosystems are especially susceptible to heavy metal contamination and have the potential to serve as indicators for environmental stresses .To better understand the effect of heavy metals pollution on terrestrial insect, the detection of different heavy metals was investigated. The following metals cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were found and their concentrations were estimated in soil samples from either polluted or reference site. As the Cd concentration was significantly high in the polluted site, its concentration in the tissues of the studied insect Blaps polycresta (Coleoptera:Tenebrionidae), was investigated as well as the antioxidant defense system and lipid peroxidation biomarkers.

  • Management of Forest Defoliators
    M anagement o f forest defoliators JBiopest 13(1):34-39 (2020) Simarouba glauca DC: An effective biopesticide against leaf defoliators of Ailanthus and Teak plants Santhana Bharathi, N., Suresh Babu, D., Sumathi, R., and Senthilkumar, N. ABSTRACT Simarouba glauca DC seeds were collected and oil was extracted by using n-Hexane solvent in soxhlet apparatus. Phytochemical screening of n-Hexane extract of S. glauca seed oil showed the presence of cardiac glycosides, saponin and steroids. Physicochemical analysis showed that density of oil was 0.441 g/cc, free fatty acid value was 1.6 mg KOH/g, iodine value was 27.74 g/100g oil, peroxide value was 1.14 meq/kg oil, acid value was 3.21, saponification value was 208 mg KOH/g and unsaponifiable matter was 3%. Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry analysis revealed that the presence of oleic acid, steric acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid as major fatty acids with the area percentage of 44.6%, 24.03%, 15.44% and 0.232% respectively. Further laboratory experiment was setup to evaluate S. glauca seed oil against Ailanthus and Teak defoliators viz., Eligma narcissus Cramer (Lepidoptera: Nolidae) and Hyblaea puera Cramer (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae). Spraying of S. glauca seed oil had resulted in 100% larval mortality in both E. narcissus and H. puera. The larval mortality was due to the insecticidal property of oil through hydrolytic dissociation and excess loss of water. Simarouba glauca seed oil acts as a contact poison and it could be used as a biopesticide to control the E. narcissus and H.

Within the past decade, study of the hormesis phenomenon has generated considerable interest because it was considered not only in the framework of plant growth stimulation but also as an adaptive response of plants to a low level of stress which in turn can play an important role in their responses to other stress factors. In this review, we focused on the defence mechanisms of plants as a response to different metal ion doses and during the crosstalk between metal ions and biotic stressors such as insects and pathogenic fungi.

  • A Chrysalis Stridulating by Means of Instrument on Inside of Cocoon.*) by Axel M
    A chrysalis stridulating by means of instrument on inside of cocoon.*) By Axel M. Hemmingsen, Ph. D. Copenhagen, Denmark. (With 5 figures). One day toward the end of September 1944 at Pei­ taiho Beach, North China (39 o 4 7' N 119 ° 27' E), I heard from some (false) acacia (or locust) shrubs (Robinia pseud­ acacia L.) a stridulating sound produced at a somewhat slower rate than the grasshopper calls usually heard there. Also the tone was more hissing. I found that it came from a spot where a medium sized parasitic wasp was sitting boring into a somewhat swollen part of an acacia twig about 1 cm thick. The swollen part looked like a twig gall, about 5 cm long, shaped as the one half of a longitudinally cut cigar, but apparently lying entirely under the bark (Fig. 1). The sound continued until the wasp fiew away. Seeing no reason why a parasitic wasp should stri­ dulate, I marked the spot in order to cut out the gall occasionally later. However, a few days later I was at­ tracted by the same sound from two closely adjacent similar galls on another acacia scrub. This time no wasp was seen, although the sound did not cease. Putting the finger on one of the galls I found that it was soft like paper. I cut it open at the edge and found within it a yellow Lepidopterous larva Eligma narcissus Cr. (Family Noctuidae), very commonly seen *) Manuscript received for publication June 15th, 1946. 166 feeding on Ailanthus altissima Swingle. It is yellow with black cross lines, has between each pair of lines 1-2 cross rows of black dots, and possesses on the black lines some long light hairs.

Bioassay studies revealed that the virus is highly pathogenic to H. puera. There was no cross infectivity to three other forest insect pests, viz., Eutectona machaeralis, Eligma narcissus and Atteva fabriciella. Three species of bacterial pathogens, viz., Bacillus cereus, B. thuringiensis var thuringiensis and Enterobacter aerogenes were also recorded from H. puera. B. thuringiensis was recorded as a stray case of infection and was highly pathogenic and caused 100% mortality in laboratory experiments. Low incidence of B. cereus infection was seen in H. puera while E. aerogenes was consistently isolated from field infected larvae. Except a new species of Hirsutella no other fungal pathogens could be observed on H. puera. No microbial pathogens were recorded from the teak skeletonizer Eutectona machaeralis. The fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana was found to cause larval mortality of the teak sapling borer Sahyadrassus malabaricus. Two species of fungal pathogens viz. Paecilomyces farinosus and P. fumasoroseus were consistently recorded on the pupae of the yellow hairy caterpillar Eligma narcissus, an insect pest of Ailanthus triphysa.
