The infestation of fruit borer, Cadra cautella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was observed in ber fruits at Fruit Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during November-December. About 10% fruits of variety Sanaur were observed to be infested by black larvae making tunnels inside fruits. The pest is widespread in the stored conditions infesting stored cereals, dry fruits in warehouses but as far as field is concerned, this is the first report of field infestation of ber fruits from Punjab as well as in India.

  • Diversity and Ecology of Butterflies and Moths in Wadi Gaza, Gaza Strip, Palestine
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 5, Issue 11, November 2015 707 ISSN 2250-3153 Diversity and Ecology of Butterflies and Moths in Wadi Gaza, Gaza strip, Palestine Zuhair .W. Dardona*, Ayman .W. Dardona**, Mohammed.A.Albayoumi * * Msc Microbiology ** Msc Limnology Abstract- Butterflies and moths were studied in regions of Wadi Gaza, extending from Salahe El-deen bridge west to Wadi Abo- Qatron near Wadi Gaza village to the east. The research is based on studying the diversity of butterflies and moths in terms of taxa diversity, Genera compositions, and family abundance. In terms of family abundance, the survey showed that all recorded butterflies are belonging to five main families (Pieridae, Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae). The recorded moths are also belonging to five families (Arctiidae, Crambidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae, Sphingidae). In terms of species and genera compositions and diversity, the survey revealed that butterflies are more abundant concerning diversity and richness than moths. The five families of butterflies are consisting of (19 genera) and (25 species) while the five families of moths are consisting of only (10 genera) and (11species).The butterflies represented (69 %) of recorded species in the area of study while the moths were represented in (31 %) of the findings. The most abundant family of butterflies is Pieridae with (36%) of all recorded butterflies, followed by Lycaenidae (32%). As for moths, the abundant families are Noctuidae, Geometridae, and Crambidae were each family was represented by (3 species), and they form (82%) of recorded moths. In this study all genera, in both moths and butterflies are represented only by one specie except six genera of butterflies and one genus of moths as each one is represented with two species, these six genera of butterflies are zizeeria,Vanessa, Colias, Pieris, Carcharodus, and Pointa and that genues of moths is Stemorrhages.

Results indicate that pubHshed information relating to distribution, identification and host-plant association is often unreliable. The apparently local and scarce T. balkanicus may be identified with a high degree of certainty from wing markings, but T. theophrastus and T. rosaceus cannot be reliably separated other than by examination of the male genital armature. Examination of a large number of male genitalia established that a high percentage of populations sampled contained both T.

Arturo Baz Dept. de Biologia Animal, Universidad de Alcalâ de Henares, E-28871 Alcalâ de Henares. Madrid, Spain. Summary The distribution pattern of Tarucus îheophrastus in Morocco is discussed. Two areas of increased population density have been found, one in the south and one in the north. There appears to be a positive inverse correlation between population density and altitude. The optimum altitude was found to be between 400 and 800 m. Résumé Dans ce travail, on étudie le modèle de distribution de Tarucus îheophrastus au Maroc. La densité des peuplements est plus grande dans quelques régions de l'aire de distribution et diminue vers les limites de ces régions. La cause probable est un gradient d'élévation agissant comme facteur limitant. Introduction Tarucus îheophrastus (Fabricius, 1793) is essentially an eremic species that flies from Southern Spain and Morocco through the arid Sahel zone of Africa to South-western Arabia, Dhofar (Larsen, 1984) and Yemen (Balleto & Larsen, 1985). The records from India (see, however, Khatri, 1987) the Middle East and Egypt are probably due to misidentifications (see Benja- mins 1983, 1984 and Balleto & Larsen, 1985). In Morocco, the species is known from the north-eastern semi-arid zones (Higgins & Riley, 1980) with a few records from Marrakech and Oukaime- den in the High Atlas Mountains (Hall, 1986) and from Taroudant, Ait-Baha and Ait-Melloul on the southern slopes of these mountains (De Prtns et al, 1984 ; see also Rungs, 1981).

Seven species collected during the course of this study [Allancastria cerisyi (L., 1758), Leptidea sinapis (L., 1758), Issoria lathonia (L., 1758), Plebicula thersites (Cantener, [1835]), Pseudophilotes vicrama (Moore, 1865), Tarucus balkanicus (Freyer, [1844]), Glaucopsyche alexis (Poda, 1761)] are the first record for the Gökçeada. With this study the number of species from Gökçeada was raised from 45 to 52. Seven species are proposed for endangered (E) status and 13 species for vulnerable (VU) status. KEY WORDS: Butterflies, new records, distribution, endangered, vulnerable, Imros, Turkey. Las mariposas del norte de la isla egea de Gökçeada (Imros) (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea & Hesperioidea) Resumen En este estudio, se presentan las mariposas capturadas de Gökçeada, incluyendo antiguas citas bibliográficas.

Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at 371 The life-history of Caleta roxus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) by Konrad FIEDLER Abstract: Caleta roxus (Godart [1824]) lays its yellow eggs singly on young shoots of a climber in the family Rhamnaceae. Larvae hatch after 4 —5 d. Caterpillars feed on young foliage. There are4 larval instars, larval development lasts 22 d. The green caterpillars are very flat and hairy. L3 and L4 larvae have a yellow middorsal band. Caterpillars lack a dorsal nectary organ and tentacle organs and are not attended by ants. The girdled pupae are likewise hairy and are not attractive to ants. The butterfly emerges after a pupal period of 8 d. Both larvae and pupae are able to produce substrate-borne vibrations when disturbed. The observations on C. roxus are discussed with respect to phylogenetic and ecological implica­ tions. Zur Biologie von Caleta roxus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Zusammenfassung: Beobachtungen zur Biologie von Caleta roxus (Go ­ d a r t [1824]) in Westmalaysia werden beschrieben. Die männlichen Falter saugen gerne an feuchter Erde, Vogelkot o. ä., beide Geschlechter besu­ chen Blüten. Die Eiablage erfolgt einzeln in der Mittagszeit an jungen Blät­ tern und Ranken einer Liane (Familie Rhamnaceae, eine genauere Bestim­ mung war mangels Blüten bislang unmöglich). Aus den gelben Eiern (Durchmesser 0,5 mm) schlüpfen nach4 —5 Tagen die Jungraupen.
