Introduction The subfamily Pyralinae belonging to family Pyralidae is djvided into two tribes, the Pyralini and Endotrichini (Shaffer & Solis, 1995; Shaffer et at, 1996; Solis & ShaffCr, 1999). Of them, the Endotrichini contains seven genera, of which Endotricha Zeller is the 1argest genus with about 70 species (Solis & Shaffer, 1999). This tribe is characterized by having the Rs anastomosed with Sc+Rl jn the hindwing venation, However, the taxonomic posi- tion of the tribe Endotrichini has been disputed by many specialists, such as Ragonot (1891), Hampson (1896), Whalley (1961), and Minet et al (1982). In the fauna of Korea, this nibe is represented by only one genus, Endotricha, which is mainly distributcd in Africa and Asia. In this article, the genus E]ndotricha in Korea is revised. We recognize seven species from Korea, of which one species, Endotricha parki i's described as new to science, Taxonotnic descrjptions fbr the known species are not repeated. Photographs of adults and illustrations of genitalia are provided.

Through this study, a total of 212 species was observed from the study area which represented 212 species from 29 families. Most of the moth species were abundance in July to August. Moths are the most vulnerable organism, with slight environmental changes. Erebidae, Crambidae and Geometridae are the most abundant families throughout the year. The Coonoor Forestdale area was showed a number of new records and seems to supporting an interesting the monotypic moth species have been recorded.

Okdolbong in Bongwha, Gyeongbuk, where a national arboretum is planned to be constructed, through investigating the insect fauna and obtaining its evidence samples. In particular, this region is very important for studies on biodiversity and its preservation, and requires fundamental data for related studies such as investigations of vulnerable species and changes in their distribution associated with climatic changes. A total of 263 species including 1,689 individuals of moths was collected in this study. The most dominant species was Endotricha loivaceali with 222 individuals, and was followed by Hydrillodes morose with 97 individuals and Craneophora ficki with 86 individuals. Keywords: forest insects, insect fauna, dominant species, specimen Introduction on insect resources in the regions, except a recent study on nearby Mt. Okdolbong (Roh et al., 2012). We investigated The survey regions in this study is located in Bongwha, the insect fauna in the regions where a national arboretum Gyeongbuk.

Miss Edwina Murray, Dr. Mary Whitehouse, Dr. Tanya Latty ________________________________________________________________________________ The introduction of transgenic cotton within the cotton industry has allowed for increased yields due to decreased losses from insect activities. The main pests which have been targeted through the genetic modification are Helicoverpa punctigera and Helicoverpa armigera. The reduction in the presence of these two species could have several ecological implications, including an increase in other lepidopteran species more tolerant to Bt toxins that were previously suppressed by Helicoverpa spp. The results presented in this report are part of a Masters thesis which will look at the moth communities in Bt cotton and its refuges over four seasons.

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted bioRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under aCC-BY-NC 4.0 International license. 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.

  • Relationships Between Nest-Dwelling Lepidoptera and Their Owl Hosts

The moth nest fauna varied among owl species. The differences were related to owl prey (fish, small animals and birds, insects) and habitats (urban area, forest), and the tineid species selecting the nest.
