Morphology and Systematics of Gnorimoschemini Gnorimoschemini Was Introduced by Povolny (1964) Who Basically Defined the Tribe by Genitalia Characters of subfamilies remains unstable. Hodges (1986) divided Gelechiidae into the three sub­ families Gelechiinae, Dichomeridinae and Pexicopiinae, differing by characters of the adult abdominal sternum II. Later he added the south-east Asian Physoptilinae as the sister-group of the aforementioned subfamilies (Hodges, 1998). Kuznetzov & Stekol­ nikov (1984) initially distinguished only two subfamilies whereas in a later publication they recognized six (Kuznetzov & Stekolnikov, 2001). Further concepts have been in­ troduced, e. g. by Leraut (1993) and Sinev (1992, 1993). Recently Ponomarenko (2005, 2006, 2009) presented a classification based on a comparative morphological analysis particularly of the male genitalia and its musculature system. She distinguished five subfamilies: Physoptilinae, Anomologinae, Gelechiinae, Anacampsinae and Di­ chomeridinae. However, none of these concepts has received thorough acceptance from the scientific community so far. Hodges (1998) in the most widely accepted review characterized the Gelechiinae by abdominal sternum II with a pair of venulae and a pair of apodemes and the antenna usually without pecten (present as a single slender scale in Bryotropha and in some species of Metzneria, Monochroa and Aristotelia and a full pecten in the Apatetris-group}. However, Ponomarenko (2006, 2009) showed that several genera associated with the Gelechiinae by Hodges (op. cit.) in fact agree in the second sternite with most genera of Dichomeridinae. She concluded that the peculiar­ ities of adult abdominal sternum are diverse within the family and thus unsuitable for establishing taxa at the subfamily rank. Despite these shortcomings the monophyly of Gelechiinae is still (according to Ponomarenko, 2006) based on two autapomorphies: valva with mediobasal process and male genital segment with glands, which are however secondarily reduced in several groups. The subdivision of Gelechiinae into tribes is a further matter of ongoing discussion. Karsholt & Riedl (1996) distinguished seven tribes in Europe. According to these au­ thors Gelechiinae include the tribes Apatetrini, Anomologini, Utini (formerly Teleiodini), Gelechiini, Gnorimoschemini, Anacampsini, and Chelariini. This subdivision was also followed by Lee et al. (2009) for the North America fauna. Other authors such as Po­ volny (2002b) add Metzneriini as an eighth tribe. On the contrary Ponomarenko (2006) only separated three gelechiinae tribes, Gnorimoschemini, Gelechiini and Utini, based on various apomorphic character states of the genitalia and their muscles, whereas all other tribes were moved to different subfamilies. The systematic position of several suprageneric taxa still remains disputed (Bidzilya & Karsholt, 2008) and needs further analysis. Morphology and systematics of Gnorimoschemini Gnorimoschemini was introduced by Povolny (1964) who basically defined the tribe by genitalia characters. Despite his repeated, detailed and extensive descriptions of adults and preimaginal stages, he never supported the Gnorimoschemini by synapomorphies - maybe with the exception of the reduction of muscle m 7 in the male genitalia (Po­ volny, 2002a, referring to Kuznetzov & Stekolnikov, 2001). Identification of the group is merely based on a combinations of characters (Povolny, 2002b). Indeed Gnorimos­ chemini is weakly separated from Gelechiini with which it shares the conspicuous dila­ tion of the lateral parts of the vinculum as synapomorphy but it is characterized as morphologically homogenous and more specialized than Gelechiini. Later the mono­ phyly of Gnorimoschemini has been supported based on a hook-like signum and a lateral zone of microtrichia near the ostial area (Huemer & Karsholt, 1999; Ponoma­ renko, 2006). 13 Diagnosis (following the terminology introduced by Povolny (various papers), Huemer (1988), Jansen (1999) and Kristensen (2003)). Moth (Text-figs. 1-3) with a high degree of overall similarity; small to medium-sized, wingspan ranging from 6 to 24 mm; labial palpus recurved, second segment usually with brush of short scales on outer surface; forewing usually with one plical and two discal spots. Male genitalia (Text-figs. 4-6) with uncus usually broadly hood-like; gnathos with hook-shaped to spatulate mesal sclerite, or reduced, culcitula usually well-developed; teguminal pedunculi large; valva (cucullus sensu Ponomarenko) simple, mostly digitate to rod-shaped; sacculus (parabasal process sensu Povolny) short to long, frequently with pointed apex; vinculum frequently sup­ porting ridge from anterior margin to medial part, posterior margin with one to two pairs of small projections to distinct vincular process (sacculus process sensu Povolny); saccus short to long, frequently rod-like to tongue-shaped; phallus (aedeagus sensu auc­ torum) short to long, rarely with small spines, sub-apical hooklet usually present, ca­ ecum inflated. Female genitalia (Text-figs. 7-10) with sclerotized subgenital plates, partially covered with microtrichia, foamy sculpture or smooth, rarely with process-like sclerites; ventromedial part of sternite VIII with or without paired depressions, areas of foamy sculpture and/or microtrichia present or reduced; subostial sclerites present or absent; antrum funnel-shaped to tubular or largely reduced, colliculum shortly ring­ shaped to reduced; posterior part of ductus bursae with or without lateral sclerites; cor­ pus bursae normally well defined; signum usually with basal plate and a strong distal signum-hook, rarely reduced. Povolny (1991) furthermore published an extensive syn­ thesis on preimaginal characters which is not repeated here because it lacks differential diagnoses and a phylogenetic analysis. costal block subcostal streak apical streak costal spot cilia ""' line \ cilia tornal spot tegula fold thorax Text-fig. 1.

    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

    23 6 REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSERVATION 6.1 Introduction A very few examples of the artificial habitats considered in this report have statutory protection as SSSI or LNRs, A few, not all the same ones, have good invertebrate records. None have good enough invertebrate records, as seen in the Introduction, to be able to define invertebrate "communities" by more than species lists and, cxcasionally, relative abundances of some species in a very few years. The importance of such habitats for biodiversity consewation is however substantial, as demonstrated above. Few Broad Habitat types could boast as inany as 12-15% of the list of nationally scarce and rare species, and no other for which no Key Habitat has been defined. The situation is therefore one in which we have the minimal knowledge needed to know how important the problem is and, so far, only the skeleton of a conservation strategy which will address it, Clearly we need to know more about the invertebrates, more about the sites concerned and have a better strategy for conservation. It is not easy to judge how to do this and to set the priorities in the right urder. In the following I leave aside the purely synanthropic species which are either controversial for conservation (such as specific parasites) or common species present as curiosities well outside their global range (such as camel crickets and the range of tropical pyralid moths which breed in aquatic nurseries). 6.2 lnvertcbratc surveys We know too little about the invertebrate faunas of artificial sites, in particular and in general, There are two consequences of this, First, important sites may disappear unknown because they have not been surveyed or have been inadequately surveyed.

Between 2004 and 2013 Csalomon type pheromone traps were operating in Bodrogkisfalud (48°10’N; 21°21E; Borsod-Abaúj- Zemplén County, Hungary, Europe). The data were processed of following species: Spotted Tentiform Leafminer (Phyllonorycter blancardella Fabricius, 1781), Hawthorn Red Midged Moth (Phyllonorycter corylifoliella Hübner, 1796), Peach Twig Borer (Anarsia lineatella Zeller, 1839), European Vine Moth (Lobesia botrana Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775), Plum Fruit Moth (Grapholita funebrana Treitschke, 1846), Oriental Fruit Moth (Grapholita molesta Busck, 1916) and Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758). The relation is linear, logarithmic and polynomial functions can be characterized. Keywords: Microlepidoptera, pests, pheromone traps, air pollution 1. INTRODUCTION Since the last century, air pollution has become a major environmental problem, mostly over large cities and industrial areas (Cassiani et al. 2013). It is natural that the air pollutant chemicals influence the life phenomena of insects, such as flight activity as well.

  • (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and Leafflower Trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus Sensu Lato [Glochidion]) in Southeastern Polynesia
    Coevolutionary Diversification of Leafflower Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and Leafflower Trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus sensu lato [Glochidion]) in Southeastern Polynesia By David Howard Hembry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Rosemary Gillespie, Chair Professor Bruce Baldwin Professor Patrick O’Grady Spring 2012 1 2 Abstract Coevolution between phylogenetically distant, yet ecologically intimate taxa is widely invoked as a major process generating and organizing biodiversity on earth. Yet for many putatively coevolving clades we lack knowledge both of their evolutionary history of diversification, and the manner in which they organize themselves into patterns of interaction. This is especially true for mutualistic associations, despite the fact that mutualisms have served as models for much coevolutionary research. In this dissertation, I examine the codiversification of an obligate, reciprocally specialized pollination mutualism between leafflower moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) and leafflower trees (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus sensu lato [Glochidion]) on the oceanic islands of southeastern Polynesia. Leafflower moths are the sole known pollinators of five clades of leafflowers (in the genus Phyllanthus s. l., including the genera Glochidion and Breynia), and thus this interaction is considered to be obligate. Female moths actively transfer pollen from male flowers to female flowers, using a haired proboscis to transfer pollen into the recessed stigmatic surface at the end of the fused stylar column. The moths then oviposit into the flowers’ ovaries, and the larva which hatches consumes a subset, but not all, of the developing fruit’s seed set.

Aballay, and J. Macaya. 2001. In vitro nematicidal activity of aqueous plant extracts on Chilean populations of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato. Nematropica 31:47-54. In a search for alternatives to chemicals in nematode management, the nematicidal activity of 30 plant species (9 native and 21 naturalized in Chile) was tested on a Chilean population of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato, an economically important pathogen in grapevine. Aqueous extracts were test- ed in a standard concentration (S) at 1:4 W/V of fresh plant material, or 1:20 W/V of air-dried plant parts; and 21 plants, were also tested at 25% of S. Distilled water was used as the control. Nematicidal activity was evaluated by nematode immobility after 24-48 h of immersion in the extracts, followed by 24 h in distilled water. At the standard concentration, all the extracts showed nematicidal or nemato- static activity after 24 h of exposure, but this effect decreased in the dilute treatment of 33% of the extracts, mostly top extracts. Nematode immobility was observed at 25% of S, after 24 h, with plant extracts in 18 out of 21 plant species including: Tagetes erecta, T.

    Legume-feeding Lepidoptera of the Florida Keys: potential competitors of an endangered lycaenid butterfly Sarah R. Steele Cabrera1,2,*, James E. Hayden3, Jaret C. Daniels1,2, Jake M. Farnum4, Charles V. Covell Jr.1, and Matthew J. Standridge1 Abstract Two Fabaceae in the Florida Keys, Pithecellobium keyense Coker and Guilandina bonduc Griseb., have been of interest because they are the larval host plants for the endangered Miami blue butterfly (Cyclargus thomasi bethunebakeri [Comstock & Huntington]; Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae). As a part of ongoing research and conservation for this butterfly, wild host plant material has been periodically collected in order to supplement a captive colony ofC. t. bethunebakeri located in Gainesville, Florida, USA. In examining this plant material, 26 lepidopterans were detected, includ- ing several host records, a new continental record, and 2 likely undescribed species, 1 Aristotelia (Gelechiidae) and 1 Crocidosema (Tortricidae). Our results expand the geographic, life-history, and taxonomic understanding of lepidopteran herbivores that use P. keyense and G. bonduc in South Florida.
