During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

Januar August 2018 2018 New Species of Aenetus from Sumatra, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) and a 5,000 km biogeographic disjunction John R. GREHAN, THOMAS J. WITT & NIKOLAI IGNATEV Abstract Discovery of Aenetus sumatraensis nov.sp. from northern Sumatra expands the distribution range of this genus well into southeastern Asia along the Greater and Lesser Sunda. The species belongs to the A. tegulatus clade distributed between northern Australia, New Gui- nea, islands west of New Guinea and the Lesser Sunda that are separated by over 5,000 km from A. sumatraensis nov.sp.. The Sumatran record either represents local differentiation from a formerly widespread ancestor or it is part a larger distribution of the A. tegulatus clade in the Greater Sunda that has not yet been discovered. The bursa copulatrix of the Australian species referred to as A. tegulatus is different from specimens examined in New Guinea and Ambon Islands (locality for the type) and is therefore referred to here as A. ther- mistes stat.rev. Zusammenfassung Die Entdeckung von Aenetus sumatraensis nov.sp. in Nord-Sumatra dehnt das Verbreitungs- gebiet dieser Gattung aus bis nach Südostasien entlang der Großen und Kleinen Sundainseln.

A few species flies) are extremely different; the former have aquatic larvae, actually have terrestrial larvae, but even these are relegated to and the latter nearly always have terrestrial, plant-feeding wet leaf litter, so many defining features of the order concern caterpillars. Nonetheless, the close relationship of these two larval adaptations for an almost wholly aquatic lifestyle (Wig- orders hasLepidoptera essentially never been disputed and is supported gins, 1977, 1996). For example, larvae are apneustic (without by strong morphological (Kristensen, 1975, 1991), molecular spiracles) and respire through a thin, permeable cuticle, (Wheeler et al., 2001; Whiting, 2002), and paleontological evi- some of which have filamentous abdominal gills that are sim- dence. Synapomorphies linking these two orders include het- ple or intricately branched (Figure 13.3). Antennae and the erogametic females; a pair of glands on sternite V (found in tentorium of larvae are reduced, though functional signifi- Trichoptera and in basal moths); dense, long setae on the cance of these features is unknown. Larvae do not have pro- wing membrane (which are modified into scales in Lepi- legs on most abdominal segments, save for a pair of anal pro- doptera); forewing with the anal veins looping up to form a legs that have sclerotized hooks for anchoring the larva in its double “Y” configuration; larva with a fused hypopharynx case.

  • Olfactory Proteins and Their Expression Profiles in The

After the third instar, larvae move from soil to standing trees and damage the plants with a wormhole. Although females disperse to lay eggs, larvae can accurately find eucalyptus in a mingled forest of eight species, which leads us to hypothesize that the larval olfactory system contributes to its host selection. Herein, we investigated Edited by: the transcriptomes of the head and tegument of E. signifer larvae and explored the Jin Zhang, expression profiles of olfactory proteins. We identified 15 odorant-binding proteins Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Germany (OBPs), including seven general OBPs (GOPBs), six chemosensory proteins (CSPs), two Reviewed by: odorant receptors (ORs), one gustatory receptor (GR), 14 ionotropic receptors (IRs), and Ahmed Najar, one sensory neuron membrane protein (SNMP).

  • Automated System for Recording Emerging Puriri Moths, Aenetus Virescens (Hepialidae: Lepidoptera)
    6 The Weta 39:6-11 (2010) Automated system for recording emerging puriri moths, Aenetus virescens (Hepialidae: Lepidoptera) Peter McKenzie Nga Manu Nature Reserve, PO Box 126, Waikanae, New Zealand([email protected]) Introduction The puriri moth, Aenetus virescens (Doubleday, 1843) is a widespread forest species in the North Island of New Zealand (Dugdale 1994). Eggs are deposited on the forest floor where early instars feed on fungi growing on dead wood or emergent polypore fruiting bodies, such as bracket fungi, for about three months. They then transition to boring into various trees and shrubs where they feed on callus tissue around the entrance of tunnels that extend into the wood (Grehan, 1987a). Larval and pupal development varies from one to four years in putaputaweta (Carpodetus serratus), and may be even longer on other hosts and localities (Grehan 1987b). Prior to pupation, the larva dismantles the central region of the silk web covering the feeding area around the tunnel, sometimes resulting in a perforated appearance. Most adults emerge in the spring months of September-November with another smaller peak sometimes occurring in March. Emergent adults may be found resting by their tunnels in the late afternoon from at least 2.00 pm (1400 hrs) and before nightfall. This is probably a general feature of wood-boring Hepialidae as it has been reported in Zelotypia and other species of Aenetus Grehan (1987b) and also in the South American Phassus emerging 1400-1700 hrs (Schaus 1888). Grehan (1987b) attempted to observe adult emergence by searching host trees in the afternoon but the only specimens found had already emerged and were resting on the host trunk.

  • Lepidoptera, Cicadidae, Acrididae of the Manorburn Ecological District
    SCIENCE AND RESEARCH INTERNAL REPORT NO.60 LEPIDOPTERA, CICADIDAE, ACRIDIDAE OF THE MANORBURN ECOLOGICAL DISTRICT by B. H. PATRICK This is an internal Department of Conservation report and must be cited as Science and Research Internal Report No.60. Permission or use of any of its contents must be obtained from the Director (Science & Research), Head Office, Department of Conservation. Head Office, Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 10-420, Wellington, New Zealand. October 1989 ISSN 0114-2798 ISBN 0-478-01144-X LEPIDOPTERA, CICADIDAE, ACRIDIDAE OF THE MANORBURN ECOLOGICAL DISTRICT by B H Patrick Conservancy Advisory Scientist, Department of Conservation, Otago Regional Conservancy, Box 5244, Dunedin ABSTRACT As part of a formal survey of the Manorburn Ecological District, entomological records from localities within the district were pooled and analysed. A total of 201 species of Lepidoptera, four species of Acrididae and one species of Cicadidae are here recorded from the district. Although no species were found or are known to be endemic to this ecological district, several nationally rare species and many undescribed species are recorded here for the district. The entomological list reflects an even spread of collecting sites from the montane valleys to the alpine grasslands on the highest parts of the district. Biogeographically the insect fauna has close affinities with the Rock and Pillar/Lammermoor Ranges to the east but with some similarity also to the fauna of Mt Benger/Old Man Range to the south. Unlike each of those areas though, it is not an area of high diversity but does contain some important features such as saltpans, tors, shrubland, alpine grassland and cushion field with a highly interesting attendant insect fauna.
