September 1998 Die Weinzygaene Theresimima ampellophaga (BAYLE-BARELLE 1808) (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Procridinae) Kehrt ein verschwundener Weinschädling zurück?* Gerhard M. TARMANN Abstract: The Vine Bud Moth or European Grapeleaf Skeletonizer Theresimima ampellophaga (BAYLE-BARELLE 1808) - reappearence of a vine pest? The Vine Bud Moth or European Grapleaf Skeletonizer Theresimima ampellophaga (BAYLE- BARELLE 1808) was thought to be under control for many years. The last harmful infestations are recorded from Hungary in 1954 (ISSEKUTZ 1957a, 1957b). Only a few records are known from later years. A possible reason for the decline of populations may be found in more effective use of pesticide and insecticide. In 1990 Th. ampellophaga was rediscovered on Crimea (Ukraine) after almost 50 years of absence (EFETOV 1990b). For the first time the larvae were found on decorative vines (Parthenocissus). Between 1990 and 1997 the Vine Bud Moth spread all over southern Crimea and has developed very strong populations. This fact leads to the conclusion that neighbouring countries might be in immediate danger. The present paper gives an overview about historical and recent observations of Th. ampellophaga with special emphasis to the situation on Crimea. Pheromone recognition and pest control methods are mentioned. The systematic position and the historical and recent geographical distributions are discussed. -

Yet, numerous species of Lepidoptera have evolved biology, ecology and biophysics (Beldade and Brakefield, 2002; highly transparent wings, which often possess scales of altered Prum et al., 2006; Gilbert and Singer, 1975). Lepidopteran wings morphology and reduced size, and the presence of membrane are generally covered with rows of flat, partially overlapping surface nanostructures that dramatically reduce reflection.

Adult scales are properties and anti-reflective nanostructures have been characterized chitin-covered projections that serve as the unit of color for the wing. for several ‘clearwing’ Lepidoptera, but the developmental processes Each scale can generate color through pigmentation via molecules underlying wing transparency are unknown. Here, we applied that selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light, structural confocal and electron microscopy to create a developmental time coloration, which results from light interacting with the physical series in the glasswing butterfly, Greta oto, comparing transparent nanoarchitecture of the scale; or a combination of both pigmentary and non-transparent wing regions. -

We hypothesized that: 1) vegetation richness (i.e., resources) and abun- dance of insectivorous birds (i.e., predators) should drive changes in butterfly taxonomic composition, 2) larval diet breadth should decrease with increase of plant species richness, 3) small-sized adults should be favored by higher abundance of birds, and 4) communities with eyespot markings should be able to exploit areas with higher predation pressure. Fruit-feeding butterflies were sampled with bait traps and insect nets across 25 km2 of an Amazonian ombrophilous forest in Brazil. We measured larval diet breadth, adult body size, and wing marking of all butterflies. -

Revised Species Definitions and Nomenclature of the Rose Colored Cithaerias Butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

PENZ1, LAURA G. ALEXANDER2 & PHILIP J. DEVRIES3 Department of Biological Sciences, University of New Orleans, 2000 Lakeshore Dr. New Orleans, LA 70148, USA. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract This study provides updated species definitions for five rose-colored Cithaerias butterflies, starting with a historical over- view of their taxonomy. Given their mostly transparent wings, genitalia morphology yielded the most reliable characters for species definition and identification. Genitalic divergence is more pronounced when multiple species occur in sympa- try than between parapatric taxa. Cithaerias aurorina is granted full species status, C. cliftoni is reinstated as a full species, and one new combination is proposed, i.e. C. aurora tambopata. Two new synonyms are proposed, Callitaera phantoma and Callitaera aura = Cithaerias aurora. Key words: pireta, menander, aurorina, cliftoni, aurora, aura, phantoma, pyritosa Introduction Some of the most visually striking Neotropical butterflies belong to the genus Cithaerias Hübner (Satyrinae, Haeterini), which inhabit sea level to mid-elevation rainforests from Mexico through Central and South America. A characteristic of all Cithaerias species is their mostly transparent wings with the distal portions of the hind wing overlaid with partially lustrous rose, purple or blue scales. -

The Oxford University Museum collection of moths is very largely a collection of the types of Hope, Saunders, Walker, and Moore, many of the type specimens being unique and of great scientific value. All Walker's types mentioned in his Catalogue of Hetero- cerous Lepidoptera in the British Museum as ' in coll. Saun- ders ' should be in the Oxford Museum, as also the types of all the species therein mentioned by him as described in Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., 3rd sen vol. i. The types of all the species mentioned in Walker's cata- logue which have a given locality preceding the lettered localties showing that they are in the British Museum should also be in the Oxford Museum.

Morphological and Molecular Evidence Supports Recognition Of
Morphological and molecular evidence supports recognition of Cithaerias cliftoni (Constantino, 1995) as a species distinct from C. pireta (Stoll, 1780) and C. aurorina (Weymer, 1910) Luis Miguel Constantino 2016 Supplementary Material: Constantino, 2016. Revision of the tribe Haeterini (Lepidoptera: Satyirnae) Remarks on the nominal taxon Cithaerias cliftoni (Constantino, 1995) Cithaerias cliftoni Constantino, 1995 is a member of the tribe Haeterini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) confined to the Neotropical region. The butterflies of this tribe, are for the most part, readily distinguished from all other groups of the Satyrinae by having largely transparent wings with one or two ocelli and patches of color on the hindwing margin (Constantino 1992). C. cliftoni is a good species inhabiting the rainforests of the upper Amazon basin in the eastern slopes of the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and North of Peru, not sympatric with C. aurora (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1862) (Penz et. al. 2014). C. cliftoni was synonymized by Lamas (2004) with C. phantoma (Fassl, 1922) from Manicoré at Rio Madeira, Tefé and São Paulo de Olivença, Amazonas, Brazil, a very distant population from Colombia, however Lamas (1998) was not able to locate the type material of C. phantoma. As a result of this Penz et. al (2014) synonymized C. phantoma with C. aurora and reinstated C. cliftoni as a full species based on morphological differences of the genitalia. Geographical distribution C. cliftoni is found in the east slope of the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and North of Perú. In Colombia is found in the departments of Meta, Caquetá and Putumayo at an altitudinal range of 100 up to 800 m. -

These tradeoffs may include specializations in the flight performance aspects such as efficiency, versatility, maneuverability, or stability. Structure he structure and design of an insect Twing is essential, as it must endure functionally over the insect’s lifespan. They must be capable of enduring collisions or tearing without failure. To achieve this insect wings can deform readily, even reversibly, through its overall structure. In many cases aerodynamic efficiency is improved through the coupling of the forewing and hindwing. This is achieved in a few different ways. Most commonly, the wings are coupled through a row of small hooks on the forward margin of the hindwing, locking onto the forewing. Another form of coupling is seen where Grasshopper forewing vein celled intersections the jugal lobe of the forewing covers a portion of the hindwing, or even where they broadly overlap. -
