A REVISION OF THE OLD WORLD SPECIES OF THE SCIRPOPHAGA COMPLEX (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE) A Taxonomic and Zoogeographic Study, with a Discussion on their Affinities by ANGOON LEWUANICH B Sc (Bangkok) A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science of the University of London Department of Zoology and Applied Entomology Imperial College of Science and Technology South Kensington, London S W 7 2 AZ December, 1971 . 2 ABSTRACT The genus Scirpophaga is revised; the identity of each species studied is based on type material. The main characters used for separating the species are the genitalia. Thirty-five species belonging to seven species-groups are recognized. One genus and thirteen species are newly placed in synonymy. S. excerptalis is reinstated from synonymy. Ten species are transferred to Scirpophaga. S. praelata var xanthopygata Schawerda is raised to specific rank. One neotype for S. virginia Schultze and lectotypes for eight species are designated. Five species are described as new. The main characters of the Schoenobiinae and the general morphology of Scirpophaga are given. The zoogeography of the group is briefly discussed and a distribution map of each species is included. 3 CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 4 6 INTRODUCTION 10 MATERIALS AND METHODS 12 TAXOMIC HISTORY OF THE GENUS SCIRPOPHAGA 22 THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF SCHOENOBIINAE 4 4 444 27 THE GENERAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE SCIRPOPHAGA COMPLEX 34 BIOLOGY AND ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 40 ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE SCIRPOPHAGA COMPLEX Genus SCIRPOPHAGA 62 Key to the species-groups 64 Species-Group PRAELATA 67 Key to species of praelata group 69 S. praelata 72 S. xanthopygata 85 S. nivella 89 S. parvalis 101 S. phaedima 104 S. gilviberbis 106 S. percna 110 S. imparella 112 S. xantharrenes 117 S. melanoclista 119 4 Species-Group EXCERPTALIS 122 Key to species of excerptalis group 124 S. excerptalis 127 S. magnella 137 S. xanthogastrella 141 S. brunnealis 145 S. ochritinctalis 147 S. bradleyi 150 S. khasis 152 S. flavidorsalis 154 S. melanostigma 156 S. tongyaii s 159 Species-Group OCCIDENTELLti • 162 Key to species of occidentella group.. 163 S. occidentella....i' 4.. $65 S. fusciflua 168 S. ochroleuca 171 S. virginia 173 S, subumbrosa 176 S. marginepunctella 179 S. serene 182.

Because of external similarity among the species in this group, the identities of the various species have boon very confused. The former descriptions are based mainly on the external morphology. The genitalia, except those of the Australian species, had not previously been studied. When sexual dimorphism occurs, the male and female have usually been described as two distinct species or even put in separate genera. The need for taxonomic revision of the species in Scirpophaga Was in great demand (Jepson, 1954), many entomologists having experienced considerable difficulty in identification. The latest paper on the systematic position of the species in this group by Butani (1970), who tried to establish the stability of the name of the sugar-cane top borer in India, has proved a failure since he misidentified the species and wrongly synonymized many names. The present work constitutes a revision of the taxonomy of Scirpophaga. Numerous specimens in the British Museum (Natural History) and on loan from many other museums have been examined. The type-specimens of all species are studied and dissected. A neotype and some lectotypes aro designated where necessary for the 11 stability of the nomenclature. Study of the Old World species of Scirpophaga revealed that the specimens in the various collections were badly mixed and showed that because of nom,Irous misidentifications the literature could often not be relied upon. In this work many of the taxonomic problems have been clarified. It is hoped that this will he useful not only to the taxonomist but to any entomologists dealing with the control of these stem borers. 12 MATERIALS AND METHODS Material studied. Most of the material studied is in the collections in the British Museum (Natural History). Various other museums kindly loaned type and additional materiel. The abbreviations used for the museums or institutions where types and materials are deposited are as follows:- ZM, Amsterdam = ZoBlogisch Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands. DA, Bangkok = Department of Agriculture,

    Acta Biologica 23/2016 | www.wnus.edu.pl/ab | DOI: 10.18276/ab.2016.23-02 | strony 15–34 The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden in Lublin as a refuge of the moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) within the city Łukasz Dawidowicz,1 Halina Kucharczyk2 Department of Zoology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Akademicka 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] Keywords biodiversity, urban fauna, faunistics, city, species composition, rare species, conservation Abstract In 2012 and 2013, 418 species of moths at total were recorded in the Botanical Garden of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. The list comprises 116 species of Noctuidae (26.4% of the Polish fauna), 116 species of Geometridae (28.4% of the Polish fauna) and 63 species of other Macrolepidoptera representatives (27.9% of the Polish fauna). The remaining 123 species were represented by Microlepidoptera. Nearly 10% of the species were associated with wetland habitats, what constitutes a surprisingly large proportion in such an urbanised area. Comparing the obtained data with previous studies concerning Polish urban fauna of Lepidoptera, the moths assemblages in the Botanical Garden were the most similar to the one from the Natolin Forest Reserve which protects the legacy of Mazovian forests. Several recorded moths appertain to locally and rarely encountered species, as Stegania cararia, Melanthia procellata, Pasiphila chloerata, Eupithecia haworthiata, Horisme corticata, Xylomoia graminea, Polychrysia moneta. In the light of the conducted studies, the Botanical Garden in Lublin stands out as quite high biodiversity and can be regarded as a refuge for moths within the urban limits of Lublin.

    Poplars and Willows: Trees for Society and the Environment / Edited by J.G

    Poplars and Willows Trees for Society and the Environment This volume is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Victor Steenackers. Vic, as he was known to his friends, was born in Weelde, Belgium, in 1928. His life was devoted to his family – his wife, Joanna, his 9 children and his 23 grandchildren. His career was devoted to the study and improve- ment of poplars, particularly through poplar breeding. As Director of the Poplar Research Institute at Geraardsbergen, Belgium, he pursued a lifelong scientific interest in poplars and encouraged others to share his passion. As a member of the Executive Committee of the International Poplar Commission for many years, and as its Chair from 1988 to 2000, he was a much-loved mentor and powerful advocate, spreading scientific knowledge of poplars and willows worldwide throughout the many member countries of the IPC. This book is in many ways part of the legacy of Vic Steenackers, many of its contributing authors having learned from his guidance and dedication. Vic Steenackers passed away at Aalst, Belgium, in August 2010, but his work is carried on by others, including mem- bers of his family.

Via dei Taurini 19, 00185 Rome, Italy The classification of species emerged as one of the main applications of DNA analysis Full list of author information is available at the end of the article and has been addressed with several approaches, e.g., multiple alignments-, phylogenetic trees-, statistical- and character-based methods. Results: We propose a supervised method based on a genetic algorithm to identify small genomic subsequences that discriminate among different species. The method identifies multiple subsequences of bounded length with the same information power in a given genomic region. The algorithm has been successfully evaluated through its integration into a rule-based classification framework and applied to three different biological data sets: Influenza, Polyoma, and Rhino virus sequences. Conclusions: We discover a large number of small subsequences that can be used to identify each virus type with high accuracy and low computational time, and moreover help to characterize different genomic regions.

Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae form a species-rich monophylum of Crambidae (snout moths). Morphological distinction of the two groups has been diffcult in the past, and the morphologically heterogenous Spilomelinae has not been broadly accepted as a natural group due to the lack of convincing apomorphies.
