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 family 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 animal 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 changes.

    Fall 08 Invasive species management summary Parthenium hysterophorus David Mountain, Bryony Taylor, Julien Godwin September 2016 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE Parthenium hysterophorus management summary This report is the Copyright of CAB International, on behalf of the sponsors of this work where appropriate. It presents unpublished research findings, which should not be used or quoted without written agreement from CAB International. Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, all information herein should be treated as confidential. Parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus) A search in CABDirect returned very few relevant references for Parthenium hysterophorus IPM, therefore the search term “Parthenium hysterophorus Biocontrol” was used instead and this returned 195 records. Of these the first 50 records were used in the analysis of common approaches. In addition to analysis of the first 50 records, a ‘sample’ analysis was also carried out on the titles of all records returned to assess most common predators and pathogens used for biocontrol in the titles. The summary spreadsheet can be found here Geography Parthenium hysterophorus is native to the southern USA, central and South America. It was reported as a common weeds in Southern Africa in the mid 1980s (CPC) and Vietnam around 1922 (Nguyen Thi Lan et al., 2011). Most commonly studied approaches The most common approach identified from the first 50 records returned using the CAB direct search were using predators to control P. hysterophorus, followed by pathogens (Figure 1). What is not apparent from this search is the extent to which rural communities use hand weeding; hand weeding hazardous as the weed is strongly allogenic and affects humans and livestock.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

Reassessment of forewing pattern elements in Tortricidae (Lepidop- tera). Acta zoologica cracoviensia, 46(3): 269-275. Abstract. Forewing pattern elements of moths in the family Tortricidae are discussed and characterized. An historical review of the terminology is provided. A new system of nam- ing pattern elements is proposed. Key words. Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, forewing pattern, analysis, terminology. Józef RAZOWSKI, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, S³awkowska 17, 31-016 Kraków, Poland. E-mail: razowski.isez.pan.krakow.pl I. INTRODUCTION Early tortricid workers such as HAWORTH (1811), HERRICH-SCHHÄFFER (1856), and others pre- sented the first terminology for forewing pattern elements in their descriptions of new species. Nearly a century later, SÜFFERT (1929) provided a more eclectic discussion of pattern elements for Lepidoptera in general. In recent decades, the common and repeated use of specific terms in de- scriptions and illustrations by FALKOVITSH (1966), DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968), and oth- ers reinforced these terms in Tortricidae. BRADLEY et al. (1973) summarized and commented on all the English terms used to describe forewing pattern elements. DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968) and KUZNETZOV (1978) analyzed tortricid pattern elements, primarily Olethreutinae, dem- onstrating the taxonomic significance of the costal strigulae in that subfamily. For practical pur- poses they numbered the strigulae from the forewing apex to the base, where the strigulae often become indistinct. KUZNETZOV (1978) named the following forewing elements in Tortricinae: ba- sal fascia, subterminal fascia, outer fascia (comprised of subapical blotch and outer blotch), apical spot, and marginal line situated in the marginal fascia (a component of the ground colour).

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis. Key Words: Archipini, genitalia, Madrean, Nearctic, systematics Clepsis Guenée, encompassing 144 and Santa Rita mountains), known as described species, is present in every the "sky islands," are of considerable major zoogeographic region except the interest to biologists and hiogeogra- Australasian (sensu Heppner 1991).

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

  • Pheromone-Based Disruption of Eucosma Sonomana and Rhyacionia Zozana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Using Aerially Applied Microencapsulated Pheromone1
    361 Pheromone-based disruption of Eucosma sonomana and Rhyacionia zozana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) using aerially applied microencapsulated pheromone1 Nancy E. Gillette, John D. Stein, Donald R. Owen, Jeffrey N. Webster, and Sylvia R. Mori Abstract: Two aerial applications of microencapsulated pheromone were conducted on five 20.2 ha plots to disrupt western pine shoot borer (Eucosma sonomana Kearfott) and ponderosa pine tip moth (Rhyacionia zozana (Kearfott); Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) orientation to pheromones and oviposition in ponderosa pine plantations in 2002 and 2004. The first application was made at 29.6 g active ingredient (AI)/ha, and the second at 59.3 g AI/ha. Baited sentinel traps were used to assess disruption of orientation by both moth species toward pheromones, and E. sonomana infes- tation levels were tallied from 2001 to 2004. Treatments disrupted orientation by both species for several weeks, with the first lasting 35 days and the second for 75 days. Both applications reduced infestation by E. sonomana,but the lower application rate provided greater absolute reduction, perhaps because prior infestation levels were higher in 2002 than in 2004. Infestations in treated plots were reduced by two-thirds in both years, suggesting that while increas- ing the application rate may prolong disruption, it may not provide greater proportional efficacy in terms of tree pro- tection. The incidence of infestations even in plots with complete disruption suggests that treatments missed some early emerging females or that mated females immigrated into treated plots; thus operational testing should be timed earlier in the season and should comprise much larger plots. In both years, moths emerged earlier than reported pre- viously, indicating that disruption programs should account for warmer climates in timing of applications.

It is pollinator-friendly and has biodiversity enhancement, conservation, eco- nomic, and medical potential. In eastern South Dakota, S. perfoliatum can pro- duce more than 20 Mg (million grams) ha-1 of biomass and 0.09 Mg ha-1 of seed in agronomic plantings. The giant eucosma moth, Eucosma giganteana (Riley), is a major pest of agronomic S. perfoliatum in the region. We provide a summary of this insect and its association with its host. Our experimental objectives were to determine if the frequency of rhizome occupation by late instar larvae and if their final prepupal size were influenced by plant genetic or environmental effects.
