Kashmir University of Mushtaq Ganai, Zakir Khan, Mudasir Dar and Tarique Askary Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Kashmir, Abstract Shalimar, Srinagar, J & K, India This paper deals with tortricid fauna (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) of Kashmir division of Jammu and

Kashmir State in which an updated systematic checklist of 73 has been provided along with their Zakir Khan Division of Entomology, Sher-e- scientific name, genera, , subfamily, synonyms, and original references. The whole list belonging to Kashmir University of 38 genera, 8 tribes and 3 sub-families, out of which tribe is most diverse which is represented Agricultural Sciences & by 24 species followed by tribe Eucosimini represented by 19 species while as tribes and Technology of Kashmir, are least diverse which are represented by 2 and 1 species respectively. The and Shalimar, Srinagar, J & K, India species of each tribe are arranged alphabetically. Further, 32 species of Tortricid moths shows their prevalence in the high-altitude cold desert areas of Ladakh region.

Introduction Tortricidae is one of the largest families of so called micro-lepidoptera, second only to the Tarique Askary Gelichiidae in number of described species [1, 2] with over 15000 species in approximately Division of Entomology, Sher-e- 1700 genera and a large number still to be recorded, especially in the tropics. The common Kashmir University of name “leaf roller” has been applied to this owing to its larval habit of shelter building Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Kashmir, by folding or rolling leaves of the food plants. The larvae of these moths employ a wide range Shalimar, Srinagar, J & K, India of feeding strategies, many have the habit of leaf rolling some are gall makers, root borers, fruit borers, flower feeders etc. [3]. This family has been divided into three subfamilies viz. Tortricinae, Olethreutinae and Chlidanotinae [4]. In general, members of the subfamily Tortricinae tend to be polyphagous, while Olethreutinae have narrower host range and hosts of [4] Chlidanotinae are poorly known . Members of this family are characterized by a combination of characters such as rough scaled head above, short scaling of frons, thread like antenna, unscaled proboscis, very small or vestigial maxillary palpi, porrect or upcurved three segmented labial palpi, absence of tympanum, presence of chaetosema and ocelli and flat ovipositor lobes [5]. Fore tibia is with

epiphysis and tibial spur formula of 0-2-4. Wing-coupling mechanism is fernate type, chorda and M-stem often developed in discal cell and hind wing often with cubital pectin at base of CuA and CuP is usually present [2]. Since having an updated repository of all known data is imperative. Only with an updated checklist (listing of species) and catalogue (distribution of species) it is possible to know what was already made and what gaps remain to be filled. So, an effort was made to update the systematic checklist of tortricid moth fauna of Kashmir

division of Jammu & Kashmir state of India.

2. Material and Methods The checklist has been prepared with help of different electronic and non electronic sources of literature mainly by Diakonoff [6]; Meyrick [7-12]; Razowski [13]; World Catalogue of the [1] [1] Tortricidae and Tortricids of Agricultural Importance . For the purpose of identification a Correspondence communication channel was also established with the eminent taxonomists (Joseph Razowski, Mushtaq Ganai Institute of science Poland and John W. Brown USDA) currently working on family Division of Entomology, Sher-e- Tortricidae around the globe. In addition to this considerable amount of published literature, Kashmir University of summing more than 200 articles and books published until the end of 2015 were consulted. In Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Kashmir, the present paper, updated information is provided on the systematic position and Shalimar, Srinagar, J & K, India nomenclatural change of tortricid moth fauna in the light of recent taxonomical ~ 461 ~ Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies

4. Discussion In the Oriental region the members of this tribe are found in Kostrowicki [42] placed Kashmir and Ladakh regions of J & K (two species, one being Trans-palaearctic, the other in the Kashmir-Punjab Province/Region, Mani [43] placed endemic). Razowski [13] first time recorded two Palaearctic them at the borders of his zoogeographic regions: species, Eucosma tetraplana (Moschler) and E. conterminana Turkmenian, Mediterranean and Oriental, Heppner [44] placed (Guenée) from the Oriental region, also discovered eucosmine them at the Hindu Kush, Pamir-Thian-Shan and Himalayan moth, Epinotia thapsiana (Zeller) in this area which is Trans- highlands while as Shields [45] suggested that North-Western palaearctic and Matsumuraeses capax Razowski &Yasuda Himalaya and Alai-pamirs constitute a separate biogeographic which is central-east Palaearctic in distribution. Further he subunit of the Turkmenian region, however this area have recorded six Cochylini Palaearctic species (Cochylimorpha been usually included in the Oriental region. Based on jaculana (Snellen), C. halophilana (Christoph), Aethes Rhopalocera, Kostrowicki [42] treated Kashmir and Ladakh pardaliana (Kennel) which occur in central or eastern parts of species as belonging to the Holarctic element while as Vis & that region. A. afghana Razowski, Choristoneura propensa Coene [46] found that this element constitutes as much as 50% Razowski, Neocalyptis nuristana (Razowski) were known of the Rhopalocera of the this area and there are 60% central earlier from and certainly are widely distributed Asian and east Palaearctic species of the Palaearctic origin in this area) and one Archipini species (Clepsis rurinana and 15% of tropical origin. They also concluded that in (Linnaeus) which is Trans-palaearctic-Oriental) form this Ladakh the Palaearctic elements are more abundant than in region. Further he excluded two species, viz., Cochylis indica Kashmir and the tropical elements more abundant in Kashmir Razowski and Clepsis rurinana (Linnaeus) from being than Ladakh. They further found a difference between lower Palaearctic-Oriental. The tortricid moth fauna of Kashmir parts of the area studied (Kashmir) and more elevated ones division of J & K consists of 73 species (48 species described (Ladakh). or recorded by Meyrick [7-12] and Diakonoff [6], 16 species Vis & Coene [46] and Mani [43] after discussing the (Archips cantinus Razowski, Archips naltarica Razowski., geographical situation and climatic condition of Kashmir Choristoneura colyma Razowski., Lumaria lotsunica division of J & K reported that Ladakh is situated in dry area Razowski, Meridemis subbathymorpha Razowski, Pandemis beyond range of the monsoon and has scarce vegetation while thomasi Razowski, Neocalyptis ladakhana Razowski, as valley of Kashmir is warmer and more humid. Thus Neocalyptis chlansignum Razowski, Epelebodina concolorata Ladakh have been considered as having stronger affinity with Razowski, Eppihus hippeus Razowski, Lepteucosma the Palaearctic . According to Razowski [13] srinagara Razowski, Lepteucosma charassuncus Razowski, Cnephasiini, a basically Palaearctic tribe is represented in Pelochrista frustata Razowski, Pelochrista teleopa Razowski, Kashmir by two species, both belonging to the sedana-group.
