  • Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia in Lepidoptera
    COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MALE GENITALIA IN LEPIDOPTERA. By DEV RAJ MEHTA, M. Sc.~ Ph. D. (Canta.b.), 'Univefsity Scholar of the Government of the Punjab, India (Department of Zoology, University of Oambridge). CONTENTS. PAGE. Introduction 197 Historical Review 199 Technique. 201 N ontenclature 201 Function • 205 Comparative Morphology 206 Conclusions in Phylogeny 257 Summary 261 Literature 1 262 INTRODUCTION. In the domains of both Morphology and Taxonomy the study' of Insect genitalia has evoked considerable interest during the past half century. Zander (1900, 1901, 1903) suggested a common structural plan for the genitalia in various orders of insects. This work stimulated further research and his conclusions were amplified by Crampton (1920) who homologized the different parts in the genitalia of Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Trichoptera Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Strepsiptera with those of more generalized insects like the Ephe­ meroptera and Thysanura. During this time the use of genitalic charac­ ters for taxonomic purposes was also realized particularly in cases where the other imaginal characters had failed to serve. In this con­ nection may be mentioned the work of Buchanan White (1876), Gosse (1883), Bethune Baker (1914), Pierce (1909, 1914, 1922) and others. Also, a comparative account of the genitalia, as a basis for the phylo­ genetic study of different insect orders, was employed by Walker (1919), Sharp and Muir (1912), Singh-Pruthi (1925) and Cole (1927), in Orthop­ tera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and the Diptera respectively. It is sur­ prising, work of this nature having been found so useful in these groups, that an important order like the Lepidoptera should have escaped careful analysis at the hands of the morphologists.

  • Native Versus Exotic Crotalaria Species (Fabaceae) As Host Plants of the Ornate Bella Moth, Utetheisa Ornatrix (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) Andrei Sourakov*
    Journal of Natural History, 2015 Vol. 49, Nos. 39–40, 2397–2415, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2015.1006700 You are what you eat: native versus exotic Crotalaria species (Fabaceae) as host plants of the Ornate Bella Moth, Utetheisa ornatrix (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) Andrei Sourakov* McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA (Received 9 April 2014; accepted 2 January 2015; first published online 3 March 2015) Crotalaria plants and Utetheisa ornatrix are closely linked to each other: the larvae destroy the seeds, while the moth depends on hostplants for alkaloids. To better understand the ongoing co-evolution, the present study examines how native hos- tplants compare to exotic ones. Leaf-feeding on Crotalaria pumila, C. rotundifolia,and C. incana,nativetothemoth’s range, led to faster larval development than on the exotic C. lanceolata, C. spectabilis,andC. pallida. Seed-feeding on all species of Crotalaria led to accelerated larval development and a resultant larger adult moth, and correlates with a higher nitrogen content in the plant tissues. These results add a novel dimension to the previous studies of reproductive biology of this model organ- ism. In controlled settings, mature larvae showed preference for leaves of C. spectabilis over those of other species, perhaps due to the higher alkaloid content. Differences in morphology and phenology of Crotalaria determine the ecology of U. ornatrix popu- lations in Florida. The introduction of novel hostplants, on which U. ornatrix can have a significant negative effect and which are of concern to humans as invasive toxic weeds, has greatly expanded the niche occupied by this moth.

(s. KITCHING & RAWLINS, 1998) Leucaniinae subfam. stat. nov. (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) von HERBERT BECK eingegangen am 21.II.2014 Zusammenfassung: Die gegenwärtige imaginal-, molekular-systematische Gliederung der quadrifiden Noctuoidea (FIBIGER & LAFONTAINE, 2005; LAFONTAINE & FIBIGER, 2006) ist unhaltbar und beruht auf falschen Voraussetzungen. Durch larval-chaetotaktische Untersuchungen wird bewiesen, daß sowohl die klassischen Noctuidae (s. HAMPSON), wie auch die Arctiidae (s. HAMPSON) selbständige, monophyletische Familien darstellen, die hier larval charakterisiert werden. Das Gleiche gilt für die Nolidae (s. HAMPSON, s. BECK, 2009). Außer den Nolinae s. str. = Nolidae (s. HAMPSON) sind alle übrigen Unterfamilien der Nolidae s. l. [s. ZAHIRI et al. (2013) - die Diphtherinae, Risobinae, Collomeninae, Beaninae, Eligminae, Westermanniinae, Chloephorinae] den Noctuidae (s. HAMPSON) zuzuordnen. Nach ZAHIRI et al. (2013) sind die Sarrothripinae und Eariadinae als Tribus mit den Chloephorinae kombiniert. Sie werden hier als selbständige Unterfamilien innerhalb der Noctuidae (s. HAMPSON, s. BECK, 2009) gewertet. Die Unterfamilie Hadeninae der Noctuidae wird hier erstmals - genitalmorphologisch - eindeutig charakterisiert. Auf dieser Basis wird die Unterfamilie Xyleninae (s. FIBIGER) mit den Hadeninae synonymisiert: Xylenini sta. nov., comb. nov., Xyleninae syn.nov. Da die genannten spezifischen genitalmorphologischen Merkmale der Hadeninae bei den Leucaniini (beinahe) völlig reduziert und durch Weiterentwicklungen ersetzt wurden, ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, die Leucaniini zur Unterfa- milie zu erheben: Leucaniinae subfam. nov., stat. nov. Eine nähere Betrachtung für das Entstehen der „trifinen“ Hinterflügeladerung aus der „quadrifinen“ erweist, daß dieses Merkmal für die Charakterisierung der Noctuidae (s.

PART I SPHINGES AND BOMB WITH EIGHT PLAJOES 0;cfor5 AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1892 PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRKSS EY HORACE HART, PRINT .!< TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE At the request of Professor Westwood, and under the orders and sanction of the Delegates of the Press, this work is being produced as a students' handbook to all the Eastern Moths in the Oxford University Museum, including chiefly the Walkerian types of the moths collected by Wal- lace in the Malay Archipelago, which for many years have been lost sight of and forgotten for want of a catalogue of reference. 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. In so far as this work has proceeded this has been proved to be the case by the correct- vi PREFACE.

The evolution of these function- ally important traits can be reconstructed within the Lepidoptera. The proboscis movements are explained by a hydraulic mechanism for un- coiling, whereas recoiling is governed by the intrinsic proboscis mus- culature and the cuticular elasticity. Fluid uptake is accomplished by the action of the cranial sucking pump, which enables uptake of a wide range of fluid quantities from different food sources. Nectar-feeding species exhibit stereotypical proboscis movements during flower han- dling. Behavioral modifications and derived proboscis morphology are often associated with specialized feeding preferences or an obligatory switch to alternative food sources.

Prof D. S. Jacobs ZoolOgy DepJrtrnent Abstract Some moths emit ultrasonic clicks in response to bat echolocation calls. These clicks are believed to serve as a defence mechanism against bat predation by means of jamming, aposematism or startle. By assessing the characteristics and variation of the ultrasonic moth clicks it was possible to define the most likely function of the ultrasonic clicks by moths from sites in South Africa. Additionally, this study used Schaefer based mathematical models informed by field data on moth diversity and abundance, moth click parameters and bat population numbers and diversity, from these same sites in South Africa, to gainTown insight into the conditions that are required for each of these functions to work. The Jamming hypothesis proposes that moth clicks function by interferingCape with the bat's perceptual system, which is believed to be most effectiveof in the terminal phase of the bat's attack were the clicks have been shown to be the most similar to the bats echolocation calls.
