Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

  • Health and Sustainable Management of Teak Stands
    Health and sustainable management of teak stands V.V. Sudheendrakumar Kerala Forest Research Institute Peechi- 680653, Thrissur, Kerala, India Email: [email protected] Abstract Teak ( Tectona grandis L.f.) has been planted in over 36 countries across the tropical and subtropical regions in the Asian, African and American continents as well as many islands in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The insect pests of teak can be broadly classified as defoliators, stem borers and root feeders. Defoliators cause loss in volume increment in plantations as they feed on leaves. The most important defoliators are the lepidopterans namely, Hyblaea puera , Eutectona machaeralis and Paliga damastesalis . The borers belonging to the Lepidoptera include Alcterogystia cadambae , Xyleutes ceramicus and Sahydrassus malabaricus . The root feeders include white grubs belonging to the coleopterans. For most of the above pests data is not available on the economic impact caused except the information on the damage potential. H. puera is the only pest for which economic loss has been assessed based on the work done in Kerala. Accordingly effective biocontrol strategies involving a baculovirus have been developed and field- tested to manage this pest. However, no routine defoliator management is being practiced in any teak growing areas. Disease incidences are common in nurseries and plantations. Major diseases encountered are bacterial collar rot, bacterial wilt, pink disease, Phomopsis leaf spot, Colletotrichum leaf spot, leaf rust, etc. Chemical control is usually adopted for the management of such diseases. Keywords: Insect pests of teak , defoliators, Hyblaea puera, stem borers, biocontrol, diseases of teak Introduction Teak ( Tectona grandis L.f.) whose natural distribution was limited originally to some parts of South and Southeast Asia, is now one of the most widespread tropical tree species.

Apollo, Suppl. 17: 17-132 (1998) 17 The Sphingidae (Lepidoptera) of the Philippines Willem H o g e n e s and Colin G. T r e a d a w a y Willem Hogenes, Zoologisch Museum Amsterdam, Afd. Entomologie, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands Colin G. T readaway, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract: This publication covers all Sphingidae known from the Philippines at this time in the form of an annotated checklist. (A concise checklist of the species can be found in Table 4, page 120.) Distribution maps are included as well as 18 colour plates covering all but one species. Where no specimens of a particular spe­ cies from the Philippines were available to us, illustrations are given of specimens from outside the Philippines. In total we have listed 117 species (with 5 additional subspecies where more than one subspecies of a species exists in the Philippines). Four tables are provided: 1) a breakdown of the number of species and endemic species/subspecies for each subfamily, tribe and genus of Philippine Sphingidae; 2) an evaluation of the number of species as well as endemic species/subspecies per island for the nine largest islands of the Philippines plus one small island group for comparison; 3) an evaluation of the Sphingidae endemicity for each of Vane-Wright’s (1990) faunal regions. From these tables it can be readily deduced that the highest species counts can be encountered on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72), Mindanao, Leyte and Negros (62 each).

  • The Genus Acraea (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) - Peter Hendry
    The genus Acraea (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) - Peter Hendry With the recent migration to Australia of the Tawny Coster (Acraea terpsicore (Linnaeus, 1758)), (see Creature Feature this issue), I thought it might be timely to take a look at the genus worldwide. It must be noted that due to a misidentification A. terpsicore had long been known as A. violae and many references in the literature and on the web refer to it as A. violae. As with much of the Lepidoptera the genus is in a state of flux, and has long been split into the subgenera Acraea (Acraea) and Acraea (Actinote). The genus is placed in the tribe Acraeini and until Harvey (1991) placed it in the subfamily Heliconiinae it was listed in the subfamily Acraeinae. Recent molecular work has made changes and a current listing of the tribe Acraeini, by Niklas Wahlberg, is available at http://www.nymphalidae.net/Classification/Acraeini.htm. It shows members of the old subgenus Acraea (Actinote) being placed in the genus Actinote, and the old subgenus Acraea (Acraea) becoming the genus Acraea with a subgenus Acraea (Bematistes). It also lists several Acraea as unplaced. This may further change as some believe the subgenus Acraea (Bematistes) will move to the genus Bematistes. The genus is primarily Afrotropical with only four species occurring outside this region, these being, Acraea andromacha (Fig. 1) A. meyeri (Fig. 10) A. moluccana and A. terpsicore. A fifth species the Yellow Coster Acraea (Actinote) issoria is now referred to the genus Actinote. Like many of the Nymphalidae the larvae feed on plants which contain cyanogens making the larvae and adults poisonous to predators.

  • Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Oil from Clanis Bilineata (Lepidoptera), an Edible Insect
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 11(20), pp. 4607-4610, 8 March, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB DOI: 10.5897/AJB11.4102 ISSN 1684–5315 © 2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of oil from Clanis bilineata (Lepidoptera), an edible insect Shengjun Wu School of Marine Science and Technology, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, 59 Cangwu Road, Xinpu 222005, China. E- mail: [email protected]. Tel: 86-051885895427. Fax: 86-051885895428. Accepted 16 February, 2012 Oil was extracted from the dry meat of Clanis bilineata (Lepidoptera) using supercritical carbon dioxide in a continuous flow extractor. The following optimum extraction conditions were investigated: temperature, 35°C; pressure, 25 MPa; supercritical CO2 flow rate, 20 L/min and time, 60 min. Under these extraction conditions, the oil extraction rate reached up to 97% (w/w). The level of unsaturated fatty acids in the extracted oil was 63.21% (w/w). In addition, the level of linolenic acid, a functional fatty acid, was as high as 37.61% (w/w) of the total fatty acids. Results of the present work indicate that C. bilineata (Lepidoptera) may be a promising oil resource for humans. Key words: Supercritical CO2, Clanis bilineata, fatty acids, oil. INTRODUCTION Many studies on a variety of edible insects which grow in dried CB meat, 0.53 mm; supercritical CO2 flow rate, 20 L/min; the wild indicate that these insects are potential sources pressure, 25 MPa; temperature, 35°C and time, 60 min. of oil for food and medicine (Chen, 1997; Raksakantong et al., 2010; Wu et al., 2000).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This is an update of the Hawk-Moths flying in the transect between the cities of Karwar and Dharwar in northern Karnataka state, peninsular India, based on and following up on the previous fairly detailed study made by T.R.D. Bell around Karwar and summarized in the 1937 FAUNA OF BRITISH INDIA volume on Sphingidae. A total of 69 species of 27 genera are listed. The Western Ghats ‘Hot Spot’ separates these towns, one that lies on the coast of the Arabian Sea and the other further east, leeward of the ghats, on the Deccan Plateau. The intervening tract exhibits a wide range of habitats and altitudes, lying in the North Kanara and Dharwar districts of Karnataka. This paper is also an update and summary of Sphingidae flying in peninsular India. Limited field sampling was done; collections submitted by students of the Agricultural University at Dharwar were also examined and are cited here .
