The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

    Phylogeny, evolution and speciation of Choristoneura and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) by Giovanny Fagua González A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Giovanny Fagua González, 2017 Abstract Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well known genus because of its pest species, in the general context of the evolution of Tortricidae. It takes an inductive view, starting with analysis of phylogenetic, biogeographic and diversification processes in the family Tortricidae, which gives context for studying these processes in the genus Choristoneura. Tectonic dynamics and niche availability play intertwined roles in determining patterns of diversification; such drivers explain the current distribution of many clades, whereas events like the rise of angiosperms can have more specific impacts, such as on the diversification rates of herbivores. Tortricidae are a diverse group suited for testing the effects of these determinants on the diversification of herbivorous clades. To estimate ancestral areas and diversification patterns in Tortricidae, a complete tribal-level dated tree was inferred using molecular markers and calibrated using fossil constraints. The time-calibrated phylogeny estimated that Tortricidae diverged ca. 120 million years ago (Mya) and diversified ca. 97 Mya, a timeframe synchronous with the rise of angiosperms in the Early-Mid Cretaceous. Ancestral areas analysis supports a Gondwanan origin of Tortricidae in the South American plate.

Józef RAZOWSKI, Insitute of the Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy * ofSciences, S³awkowska17, 31-016Kraków,Poland. E-mail:[email protected] I.INTRODUCTION The number of genera of Tortricidae has increased dramatically over last 50 years; by 2007 there were over 1630 described genera, including synonyms. Many of the older de- scriptions are scattered throughout the literature, and because there are few larger synthetic treatments of the tortricids for most major biogeographic regions, this large number of taxa complicates considerably the work of taxonomists on the faunas of poorly known regions of the planet. In addition, characters that define many of the genera are not clearly articu- lated. The distribution of many genera is still insufficiently known, and this shortcoming frequently results in unexpected findings, e.g., the discovery of Afrotropical genera in the Neotropics. These types of discoveries may cause confusion for specialists that focus on thefaunaofasinglegeographicregion. The literature abounds with re-descriptions and diagnoses of tortricid genera, but many are rather short, frequently lacking comparisons with similar or related taxa.

  • Zootaxa, a New Species and Two New Combinations in the Genus Fibuloides Kuznetsov
    Zootaxa 1688: 61–65 (2008) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2008 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new species and two new combinations in the genus Fibuloides Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Eucosmini) from Thailand NANTASAK PINKAEW Department of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture at Kamphaeng Saen, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus, Nakhon Pathom 73140, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Fibuloides Kuznetsov (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Eucosmini), Fibuloides khaonanensis Pinkaew, is described and illustrated based on male specimens collected from evergreen forest in Khao Nan National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand. Eucoenogenes bicucullus Pinkaew and Eucoenogenes vaneeae Pinkaew, described from male and female specimens collected from Thong Pha Phum National Park, Thailand, are transferred to Fibuloides (n. comb). Key words: new species, new combination, Eucosmini, Fibuloides, Eucoenogenes Fibuloides was described as monobasic by Kuznetsov (1997) to include Fibuloides modificana Kuznetsov from South Vietnam. Kuznetsov (1997) characterized the genus by the following features: costal fold narrow in male, forewing veins R4 and R5 stalked, R3 base close to this stem, CuA1 strongly curved and originating near M3 base, hindwing with M3 and CuA1 stalked, and the valve extremely modified, with an unusually long, sclerotized processes originating from the apex of the sacculus. Horak (2006) noted that males in this genus usually have a notch at the base of the flagellum, modified fringe scales along anal margin or long hair pencils from base of anal margin, modified scaling dorsally as a transverse band on the abdomen, and weak lateral arms of the gnathos from below the middle of the tegumen with two sclerotized bands arising medially.

This is a handsome paperback treating the tortricid fauna of Vietnam, and it represents the culmination of decades of work by V. I. Kuznetsov, J. Razowski, and now S. Nedoshivina. The book treats 363 species, each with its own species account and distribution map, the latter of which are neatly packed together near the end of the book. Nearly all species are illustrated in color, most for the first time. Black-and-white images of the male and female genitalia of select species also are provided. Early chapters provide a review of wing pattern nomenclature, morphological termin- ology of structures of the genitalia, and features of the larvae and pupae. Next, there is a checklist of the species recorded from Vietnam. Then, the bulk of the book is dedicated to the species accounts, which include comments on taxonomy, identi- fication, food plants, and geographic distrib- NEW BOOK ON ution, and occasionally with a list of specimens examined from Vietnam.
