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 .

  • Entomophthora Muscae Is a Well-Known Species of This Order That Attacks the Common Housefly
    30 October 2015 Ken Walker ([email protected]) Museum Victoria. Edition 32. Hi All – I thought I would follow up last week’s hierarchical nomenclature Biodiversity missive with two tales from a few years ago. In 1994, I made my first visit to the Mecca even Holy Grail of all morphological taxonomists – I visited the British Museum of Natural History in London. I well remember turning the corner into Cromwell Road and losing my breath at my first site of the BM. Interestingly, they changed the name about 10 years ago to the “Natural History Museum of London” but the scientific acronym they insist we use for scientific publications is the century’s old “BMNH”. I remember being ushered in the front doors and escorted down the famous front dinosaur corridor, up the right side of the grand staircase and to behind the scenes where the Hymenoptera collections are stored. (see image next page) So large is the BM’s insect collections that entire floors are devoted to just one Order. The think the beetles takes up several floors. So, I was taken to the Hymenoptera floor and I finally met the collection managers and curators that I had corresponded with since the early 1980s when I borrowed holotypes to complete a revision of the bee genus Homalictus. I was treated very well. Indeed, there was a well-known BMNH hymenopterist, O.W. Richards, had worked in Australia for several years when he revised the Australian paperwasp genera. They gave me Richard’s microscope to use while I was there – I was in awe.

  • RECENT LITERATURE on LEPIDOPTERA (Under the Supervision of PETER F
    1955 The Lepidopterists' News 83 RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA (Under the supervision of PETER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to lepidop­ terists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract. Readers, particularly outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLINGER (University College of the West Indies, Mona, St. Andrew, Jamaica, B.W.I.). Abstractors' initials are as follows: [P.B.] - P. F. BELLIN­ GER; [A.D.] - A. DIAKONOFF; [W.H.] - W. HACKMAN; [E.M.] - E. G. MUNROE; [N.O.] - N. S. OBRAZTSOV; [CR.] - C 1. REMINGTON; [J.T.] - J. W.

  • 3. Rob De Vos. Two New Species of Hyalaethea Butler from Indonesian
    Suara Serangga Papua, 2010, 4 (3) Januari - Maret 2010 79 Two new species of Hyalaethea Butler from Indonesian New Guinea (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae, Syntominae) Rob de Vos NCB (Zoologisch Museum Amsterdam), Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Suara Serangga Papua 4(3): 80-89 Abstract: Two new remarkable and conspicuous syntomine species have been discovered in the western part of New Guinea. They appear to belong to Hyalaethea Butler, 1887. Both species are described and depicted here. Besides that, a checklist is given of the Syntominae of Indonesian New Guinea as presently known, with pictures of the various species. Ikhtisar: Dua spesies baru yang menoljol dari subfamili Syntominae ditemukan di bagian barat New Guinea. Ternyata termasuk dalam Hyalaethea Butler, 1887. Kedua spesies diletakan di sini. Di samping itu checklist diberikan dari Syntominae di bagian Indonesia dari New Guinea, sesuai dengan pengetahuan sekarang, yang disertahui dengan gambar-gambarnya. Key words: obraztsovi, attemae, Lobuliceryx novaeguinensis, Baliem Valley, Paniai. Introduction The Syntominae are represented in New Guinea by about 27 species of which 14 species (including the two new species) have been found in Papua, the Indonesian western half of the Island. Six of those species have exclusively been found in the Indonesian part of New Guinea. The subfamily is not yet thoroughly revised and this may result in some synonymies or new discovered species in the future. The Syntominae are most easily recognized by the transparent patches between the veins on fore- and hindwings, the very often banded abdomen and the hindwings which may have been extremely reduced in size.

  • The Australian Arctiid Moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) with Emphasis on Creatonotos Gangis - Peter Hendry
    The Australian Arctiid Moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) with emphasis on Creatonotos gangis - Peter Hendry While many of our non-scientific readers will find parts of this article heavy going, I urge them to bear with me as many interesting facts are contained herein. In the Checklist of Lepidoptera of Australia (1996), (herein referred to as the Checklist) the worldwide superfamily Noctuoidea contains nine families, Oenosandridae, Doidae, Notodontidae, Thyretidae, Lymantriidae, Arctiidae, Aganaidae, Herminiidae and Noctuidae with Doidae and Thyretidae noted as not recorded from Australia. Of these the Arctiidae contain 95 genera and 303 species. The Checklist divides the Arctiidae into three subfamilies: Lithosiinae, 78 genera, 218 species, Arctiinae, 13 genera, 33 species, and Ctenuchinae, four genera, 52 species. The Ctenuchinae are further divided into two tribes, Syntomiini and Eucchromiini. In the Checklist, Edwards states that the subfamily classification of the Arctiidae is very uncertain and further studies will change our view. In recent years overseas studies have pointed to a complete reordering of the superfamily Noctuoidea. Zahiri et al. (2011)(a), continuing on from previous work reordered the Noctuoidea into six families, Oenosandridae, Notodontidae, Euteliidae, Erebidae, Nolidae and Noctuidae. These studies have led to the raising of the Erebinae, a subfamily of Noctuidae, to family status Erebidae. (I note that the Checklist has Erebinae listed only as a synonym of Catocalinae a subfamily of Noctuidae). Recently, Zahiri et al. (2011)(b) present a new phylogeny for Erebidae consisting of 18, moderate to strongly supported, subfamilies. Included in these subfamilies are four families listed in the Checklist: Lymantriidae, Arctiidae, Aganaidae and Herminiidae.
