Solovyev Eleven new species of Limacodidae from South-East Asia are described here as new: Barisania honeyi sp. n. from central Myanmar, northern and central Vietnam and central Thailand, Pseudaltha eboris sp. n., from northern Thailand, P. sapa sp. n., from northern Vietnam and northern Thailand, Austrapoda seres sp. n. from China (Chekiang and Shaanxi), Euphlyctinides indi sp. n. from India, E. aeneola sp. n. from northern and western Thailand, Pseudonagoda siniaevi sp. n. from southern Andaman, Atosioides accola sp. n. from western Sumatra and southern Thailand, Pseudidonauton siamica sp. n. from northern Thailand and central Vietnam, P. chihpyh sp. n. from Taiwan and P. vexa sp. n. from central Vietnam and south- eastern Thailand.

Abstract. Type material of the Lepidoptera and Trichoptera collections housed at the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) is compiled and recorded. Types of the rather small collection of Trichoptera are listed com- pletely, the list of the large collection of Lepidoptera is still in progress. The present catalogue covers the Tineidae, the 'zygaenoid* families Limacodidae and Zygaenidae, the 'bombycoid' families Brahmaeidae, Eupterotidae, Lasiocampi- dae, Mirinidae, Saturniidae and Sphingidae, the 'noctuoid' families Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Noctuidae and Notodonti- dae, and the Drepanoidea (Drepanidae, including Drepaninae and Thyatirinae). The vast majority of types has been des- ignated out of the Hone collection from China. The families treated so far contain 749 holotypes, 42 lectotypes and three neotypes. 257 species are represented by syntypes. Numbers of paratypes and paralectotypes have not been counted sep- arately for this catalogue, but are much higher. Key words.

  • Isolation of the Thosea Asigna Virus (Tav) from the Epizootic Setothosea Asigna Larvae Collected in South Sumatra and a Study on Its Pathogenicity to Limacodidae Larvae in Japan
    Journal of Insect Biotechnology and Sericology 79, 117-124 (2010) Isolation of the Thosea asigna virus (TaV) from the epizootic Setothosea asigna larvae collected in South Sumatra and a study on its pathogenicity to Limacodidae larvae in Japan Maria Sugiharti1, Chikako Ono1, Toshiaki Ito2, Shin-ichiro Asano1, Ken Sahara1, Yulia Pujiastuti3 and Hisanori Bando1＊ 1 Laboratory of Applied Molecular Entomology, Department of Applied Bioscience, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8589, Japan 2 Electron Microscope Laboratory, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8589, Japan 3 Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indonesia (Received September 15, 2010; Accepted November 17, 2010) In 2005, natural epizootics were observed during an outbreak of Setothosea asigna (Lepidoptera: Limacodi- dae) larvae in an oil palm plantation in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The causative agent was filterable, which im- plied it was a virus. Since preliminary testing using reverse PCR gave a positive result for the Thosea asigna virus (TaV), we experimented with the purification of the viral agent from the diseased larvae. Electron microsco- py revealed nonenveloped virus-like particles that were spherical in shape and about 40 nm in diameter. cDNA cloning followed by sequencing demonstrated that RNA purified from the particles contained two large open- reading-frames (ORFs) with a partly shared sequence and extensive homology (> 98% identity at the nucleotide level) with ORFs of TaV encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and the capsid protein, respectively. 3’ RACE suggested that there is, like in TaV genomic RNA, no poly(A) tract at the 3’-terminus of the RNA.

I Junelgs6 Nocturnal Flight Activity of Moths Hiroaki Sato, Seigo Higashi and Hiromi Fukuda Department of Biosystem Management, Division of Environmental Conservation, Graduate School of Environmental Science, Kol<1<aido University, Sapporo, 060 Japan Abstraet Nocturnal flight activity of macrolepidiopterous moths was observed in Nopporo Forest Park and on Mt. Usu, Hokkaido, northern Japan. Air temperature seemed to be one of the crucial factors controlling their fiight activity, because the number of flying moths rapidly declined at about 100C or less in the autumn and at about 50C or less in early winter. The flight activity of many specles could be grouped into five types on the basis ef full-fiight time: pre-midnight, midnight, post-midnlght, bimodal, and peakless types, though some species showed seasonally or sexually different flight patterns. Although congeneric species tended to have similar flight patterns, the flight activity within each family was not always homogenous. As suggested by Miyata (1983) concerning the moths on Kyushu Island, southern Japan, the ratio of bimodal and peakless types was higher in openland moths than in forest ones.

  • Altitudinal Distribution of Moths (Lepidoptera) in Mt. Jirisan National Park, South Korea

Jirisan National Park, South Korea SEI-WOONG CHOI1 and JEONG-SEOP AN 2 1 Department of Environmental Education and 2 Department of Biology, Mokpo National University, Jeonnam 534-729, South Korea; e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] Key words. Lepidoptera, species diversity, moths, altitude, distribution, mid-domain effect, Korea Abstract. The relationship between species richness of plants and animals and altitude can be either hump-shaped, a monotonic decrease or increase. In this study the altitudinal distribution of moths on one of the highest mountains in South Korea was investi- gated. Moths were captured using a UV-light trap from May to October in 2007 and 2008. This revealed that the relationship between the total numbers of moth species and individuals and altitude is hump-shaped. A significant relationship was also recorded between the size of the area at each altitude and moth abundance and richness. However, the evenness index yielded a consistent decrease with increase in altitude because of the dominance of few species at high altitudes. Non-metric multidimensional scaling identified two major axes for the moth assemblage on Mount Jirisan. The correlations between the axes and variables demonstrated that the first axis was strongly correlated with altitude and aspect and the second axis with forest and site location. INTRODUCTION Indonesian tropical rainforests (Casson & Hodkinson, Mountains are found on all continents. High altitude 1991) exhibit no clear altitudinal trends (Hodkinson, ecosystems on mountains differ from all other ecosystems 2005).

After a general introduction (by Alexander SCHINTLMEISTER), the families Micropterigidae (by Wolfram MEY), and Notodontidae 1 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at (by Alexander SCHINTLMEISTER) were monographically treated. The second part of contributions was published in April 30, 2000 as supplement 11 of Entomofauna and contained monographs of the notuid subfamily Camptolominae (by ZOLOTUHIN & WITT), of the Mirinidae (by ZOLOTUHIN & WITT), and Lasiocampidae (by ZOLOTUHIN & WITT). The first contributions of 1997 considered especially the fauna of Mt. Fan-si-pan. In the meanwhile, more material was received from different regions of Vietnam. Therefore, 12 years later, it is possible to give now much broader faunistic informations, though not all regions within Vietnam are equally studied. Outside the series, a review of the noctuid subfamilies Pantheinae and Acronictinae was published by SPEIDEL & KONONENKO (1998)1. The present supplement contains treatments of the families Pterophoridae (by Peter USTJUZHANIN and Vasily KOVTUNOVICH), Limacodidae (by Alexey V.
