Key to the presently examined 13 genera of the subfamily Pterophorinae has been prepared on the basis of wing venation and male and female genitalic characters. Further, keys to the species of the genera such as Exelastis Meyrick, Megalorrhipida Amsel and Stenodacma Amsel represented by more than one species have also been furnished. The genus Tomotilus Yano is being reported for the first time from India. The distribution of the species Deuterocopus planeta Meyrick, Stenoptilia petraea Meyrick, Stenoptilodes taprobanes (Felder and Rogenhöfer), Amblyptilia forcipeta (Zeller), Exelastis phlyctaenias Meyrick, Procapperia pelecyntes (Meyrick) and Trichoptilus bidens Meyrick stands updated through an addition of more localities from northwestern India. Three new species, one of genus Lantanophaga and two of genus Megalorrhipida have been reported from the area, under reference. Besides giving an illustrated account of the new species, the genitalic account of already known species have been added to improve the descriptive account of these biological species.

  • Strategies to Develop Effective, Innovative and Practical Approaches to Protect Major European Fruit Crops from Pests and Pathogens (Grant Agreement No
    DROPSA, December 2016 This short description was prepared in the framework of the EU FP7 project DROPSA - Strategies to develop effective, innovative and practical approaches to protect major European fruit crops from pests and pathogens (grant agreement no. 613678). This pest was listed in the DROPSA alert list for Vitis fruit. Nippoptilia vitis (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) Fruit pathway: Larvae of N. vitis damage leaves, stems and fruit (Biosecurity New Zealand 2009). Damage results in severe fruit fall and partially abnormal fruit (Biosecurity Australia 2011). Larvae feed inside the fruit and seeds of grape, usually causing the young fruit to drop (Biosecurity Australia 2011a). The larvae bore into the fruit from the stem end, feeding on the pulp and seed, eggs are laid on pedicels within the grape bunch. The larvae pupate on leaves or on fruit. Some fruit shrink, dry and remain on the bunch, but most berries drop to the ground after 3-5 days (Biosecurity Australia 2011). The larvae are large. If they remain on grape bunches at harvest, they are likely to be detected and removed during harvesting or packing processes. One larva can damage over ten berries. Grape bunches with several berries missing are unlikely to be picked or packed for export (ADA 2014). There is an uncertainty if this species would be on the pathway. Other pathways: Plants for planting, soil: The larvae also feed on the leaves, stems (Biosecurity New Zealand 2009) and flowers (Biosecurity Australia 2011) of grapevines. Adults overwinter in grasses, cracks in the soil or within dead branches or leaf folds (ADA 2014).

Cees Gielis, c/o Department of Entomology, Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands (e-mail: [email protected]). Key words: Lepidoptera; Pterophoridae; Philippine Islands; review; new species. A review is given of the twenty-two known plume moth species from the Philippines: a checklist, the distribution on the islands and the description of seven new species: Platyptilia nussi spec. nov., P. eberti spec. nov., Asiaephorus extremus spec. nov., Nippoptilia philippensis spec. nov., Capperia meyi spec. nov., Hellinsia speideli spec. nov., and Adaina microdactoides spec. nov. Introduction The Philippines are a group of islands between the Indonesian Archipelago in the south, Taiwan in the north, the Chinese Sea in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. The archipelago consists of a limited number of larger islands and over 7.000 smaller ones. This study is based on specimens collected by entomologists of the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany (MNHU), the Zoologisk Museum, University of Copenhagen, Denmark (ZMUC), and the Zoologisch Museum Amster- dam, The Netherlands (ZMA). Apparently, this is the first study of Pterophoridae from the Philippines. Diakonoff (1967) did not include Pterophoridae in his extensive review of the microlepidoptera, and in the checklist the world fauna (Gielis, 1993) no species described from the Philippines were listed.

  • A Revisional Synopsis of the Neuroptera in Japan1
    Pacific Insects 4 (2) : 325-412 July 30, 1962 A REVISIONAL SYNOPSIS OF THE NEUROPTERA IN JAPAN1 By Satoru Kuwayama HOKKAIDO NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION SAPPORO, JAPAN INTRODUCTION When Linne erected the order Neuroptera in 1758, it included Plecoptera, Isoptera, Embioptera, Odonata, Corrodentia, Mallophaga, Mecoptera and Trichoptera in addition to Neuroptera, s. str. Packard (1869)2, Kirby (1892) and even Sharp (1910) used the term Neuroptera in this wide sense. However, with progress of studies during the Nineteenth Century, it was divided into several orders. Since 1900 it has generally been considered that the order Neuroptera constitutes a natural and homogeneous group characterized as follows: endopterygote insects whose adults possess a primitive head and thorax, with mandibles, 4 equal or subequal membranous wings which usually have complex venation and are held roofwise over the back at rest, and legs with 5-segmented tarsi; carnivorous larvae with suctorial jaws formed of mandibles and maxillae; pupae exarate, often in a silken cocoon. Matsumura (1907), Comstock (1924), Imms (1925) and Tillyard (1926) applied the order Neuroptera to this restricted assemblage. Imms and Tillyard again divided it into 2 suborders, Megaloptera and Planipennia. Lefroy (1923) treated these suborders as the orders Megaloptera and Neuroptera. Then Handlirsch (1925), Stitz (1927), Brues and Melander (1932), Essig (1942), Ross (1949), Shiraki (1954) and others split Neuroptera into 3 orders, Megaloptera (Sialoidea), Raphidiodea (Raphidioidea) and Neu­ roptera s. str. (Planipennia). Tjeder (1957) supported this opinion on the basis of studies of & and £ genitalia, but retained Megaloptera and Planipennia as suborders of Neuroptera. In their revised edition of " Classification of Insects ", Brues, Melander and Carpenter (1954) again treated it as 1 order, Neuroptera, with 3 suborders, Sialodea, Raphidiodea and Plani­ pennia.

Accepted: 30.11.2017 We give a full list of Pterophoridae species of Thailand fauna, including type habitats, synonymy, worldwide distribution (adding new data). For 4 species new for Thailand we provide data of the collected material. Now the plume moths fauna of Thailand includes 38 species. Key words: Lepidoptera; Pterophoridae; plume moths; Thailand; distribution; new data Introduction Due to its tropical and sub-equatorial climate, Thailand is very rich and diverse in flora and fauna. Its considerable length from north to south (over 1500 km) and a large vertical drop (more than 2500 m) led to the emergence of a wide variety of natural zones. The Pterophoridae of Thailand are relatively well studied. One of the first publications on the Pterophoridae of Thailand indicated 5 species: Deuterocopus socotranus, Platyptilia [Stenoptilodes] taprobanes, Nippoptilia vitis, Sphenarches anisodactylus, Megalorhipida leucodactyla (as Trichoptilus defectalis). All these specimens were collected in the province Chieng Mai of north-western Thailand Yano (1961). The next paper, specifically dedicated to the fauna of plume moths of Thailand, has recently been published by Ernst Arenberger (2010). This study gives an overview of Pterophoridae 28 species from Thailand. Then, two more species of the genus Xyroptilia: dohertyi and siami were described from Thailand Kovtunovich & Ustjuzhanin (2006).

Leiden 290, l.xii.1993:1-139, figs. 1-241.— ISSN 0024-1652/ISBN 90-73239-22-2. Key words: Pterophoroidea; Pterophoridae; Macropiratidae; revision; phylogenetics; biogeography; checklist. The genera of the superfamily Pterophoroidea are redescribed. Three new genera are described: Dejongia, Stockophorus and Shafferia. The characters of the genera and their states are translated into a data matrix. A majority rule consensus tree composed with PAUP serves as a basis for a phylogenetic analysis. A cladogram, representing the views of the author, based on the data acquired, is presented with argumentation. The evaluation of the characters is discussed. A new subfamily is erected, the Deuterocopinae. The Pterophorinae are redefined. The Platyptiliinae are synonymized with the Pterophorinae. The Macropiratidae, considered by Minet (1991) a subfamily or a genus of the Pterophoridae, has been raised to family rank, and is placed as the sister group of the Pterophoridae in the superfamily Pterophoroidea. A discussion is given on the biogeographical data. The only known Pterophorid fossil is discussed and placed in a time scale. A checklist is produced of all known species of Pterophoroidea arranged according to the definition of the genera as (re)described in this publication. C.

Some of the imagoes and their genitalia of some species are figured. Keywords: Lepidoptera. Pterophoridae. Fauna of Thailand. Oriental Region. Zusammenfassung 28 Arten der Familie Pterophoridae aus der Fauna Thailands werden gemeldet. Fotos der Imagoes und einiger Genitalmorphologien werden dargestellt. Einleitung Herr Professor Dr. Hans Malicky verbrachte lange Zeit an der Ang Kaew Universität von Chiang Mai, im Norden Thailands. Während dieser Aufenthalte widmete er sich neben seiner Lehrtätigkeit der Erforschung der Trichoptera Thailands. Doch ergaben seine Sammelexkursionen neben den Trichoptera-Arten als Beifänge auch zahlreiche Pterophoridae. Nachdem die Pterophoridenfauna von Thailand wenig bekannt ist, ist es notwendig, dieses Material hier zu publizieren. Außer den Sammelergebnissen von H. Malicky werden auch die Resultate der Aufsammlungen folgender Herren: Karel Cerny, Ole Karsholt, R. U. Roesler und Wolfgang Speidel, sowie der Ehepaare Hüttinger und Rausch berücksichtigt. All diesen Personen, die ihr Sammelmaterial von Pterophoridae zur Bearbeitung zur Verfügung stell- ten, gilt der Dank des Autors. Einige Arten stammen auch aus den Ausbeuten von M. und E. Arenberger.
