ABSTRACT.- The conditions of wing reduction (brachyptery) and loss of wings (aptery), and modifications thereof, are reviewed across all known families of Lepidoptera where this has been observed in either males or females, or both sexes. Brachyptery or aptery is known in 35 families of Lepidoptera, including families or where a kind of brachyptery is only evident as extreme wing reduction of the hind wings. Examples from most families known to have brachyptery of some form are illustrated among 147 figures.

Brachyptery (wing reduction) or aptery (loss of wings) is an unusual phenomenon in adults among several orders of (La Greca, 1954). In Lepidoptera, brachyptery has been reviewed most recently by Hackman (1966), Dierl and Reichhoff (1977), and by Huemer and Saltier (1989). Earlier comprehensive papers on brachyptery in Lepidoptera were by Chapman (1913, 1913a, 1917), Hudson (1912), Jordan (1884), Knatz (1891), and Porritt (1913). Lepidoptera with some degree of wing reduction or complete loss of wings in one or both sexes have been recorded now in 35 families (see Table 1): Hepialidae, Tineidae, Eriocottidae, Psychidae, Oecophoridae, Lecithoceridae, Elachistidae, Gelechiidae, Blastobasidae, Cosmopterigidae, Scythrididae, Carposinidae, Glyphipterigi- dae, Yponomeutidae, Thyrididae, Pyralidae, Heterogynidae, Zygaenidae, Himantopteridae, Somabrachyidae, Cossidae, Limacodidae, Tortricidae, Papilionidae, Lycaenidae, Epiple- midae, Geometridae, Anthelidae, Lasiocampidae, Sphing- idae, Notodontidae, Thyretidae, Lymantriidae, Arctiidae, and Noctuidae. Among most of these families, brachyptery is very rare (e.g., Hepialidae, Pyralidae, Tortricidae, and Noctuidae), but in a few families, notably Psychidae, Heterogynidae, Somabrachyidae, and Female Orgyia sp. (Lymantriidae) on cocoon (Gainesville, FL). © J. Heppner Lymantriidae, it is very common for most species to have brachypterous females, many being apterous (Bourgogne, 1958; brachyptery are species having extremely narrow wings (stenop- Buszko and Sliwinski, 1980; Daniel and Dierl, 1966; Powell, terous) as in many , particularly in such families 1911; Zilli and Racheli, 1989).

are known in some families (e.g., Dismorphiinae in ), but this really is narrowing of the forewings, or enlargement of the hindwings, and not a kind of brachyptery as considered here. Brachyptery usually occurs only in the female but it has been recorded in both sexes in a few cases, primarily in from isolated oceanic islands: the Kerguelen Is. (Viette, 1948) and Heard Id. (Common, 1970) of the south Indian Ocean; the Antipodes Is. (Salmon and Bradley, 1956), Auckland Islands (Dugdale, 1971), and Campbell Id. (Dugdale, 1964; Viette, 1954) near New Zealand; and the Falkland Is. (Bradley, 1965) of the south Atlantic Ocean. Families from these island faunas of brachypterous moths include Tineidae, Oecophoridae, Elachisti- dae, Yponomeutidae, Tortricidae, and Pyralidae. The only known species with brachypterous wings in both sexes from a continental area, although from coastal sand dunes, is a species of Scythridi- dae, brachypteris Powell (Fig. 26), from California (Powell, 1976). Another undescribed sand dune scythrid appears to reside in coastal dunes of western Florida. Both scythrid species are unusual in the construction of larval sand tubes of at the base of their host . Hackman (1966) referred to a Gelechiidae species from Morocco, curtipennis (Zerny), as another continental species where both sexes are Fig. 1.

Typically, the females are relatively immobile in such places as the high elevations of the Rocky Mountains of these groups, often sequestered within the larval and pupal case, North America, but which are not yet described (Hodges, in. litt.). as in the example of the Psychidae or bagworms.

One of the most extreme generation having brachypterous or apterous females; this wing cases is a Brazilian species, Diptilon culex Draudt, where the reduction is usual among some species with autumn or winter reduced hind wings are so small that they are hidden among the generations in temperate climates (Kimura and Masaki, 1977; thoracic scales at the wing bases (Draudt, 1915); other Diptilon Sachrov, 1914).

In prevalent in some Lymantriidae, e.g., Orgyia thyellina Butler Tineidae there is at least one extreme example, the species (Cretschmar, 1928). In Thaumetopoea species (Notodontidae) Meessia brachyptera Passarin d'Entreves, where the forewings of females usually are winged but can be brachypterous on occasion the female are only slightly reduced but the hindwings are minute (Loritz, 1952). Wing reduction in geographical variation is rare: (Fig. 2). Other families with examples can be noted in Table 1. an example is the arctic geometrid Psychophora sabinii Curtis, The development of wing reduction only in the hindwings is where the females have some wing reduction on the Pribilof Is., curious and appears without apparent reason in Lepidoptera other Alaska, but elsewhere are fully winged (Downes, 1964, 1965). than possibly being sexually derived, since among several groups The same occurs with the arctic arctiid, Pararctia subnebulosa the females have more developed hindwings and only the males (Dyar) (Sotavalta, 1965).

Theories parameters, notably thermoregulation or wind adaptation (Powell, have been proposed by Naumann (1937), Eggers (1939), and 1976). Brachyptery among the aquatic Pyralidae undoubtedly is Downes (1964). Their main points pertain to a development of due to some adaptive advantage under water, possibly easier brachyptery in response to decreased mobility due to abdominal movement for oviposition, although there may be some offsetting enlargement from excessive numbers, with adaptive mutations factor in the reduction in underwater air retention beneath normal progressing to brachypterous or apterous forms. A number of folded wings as is prevalent in some other Nymphulinae pyralids species worldwide exhibit enlarged abdomens in the female, which also dive underwater to oviposit (Berg, 1941). resulting in reduced flight or little apparent flight: e.g., females In Lepidoptera, part of the probable evolutionary development of the Great Basin tortricid, Synnoma lynosyrana Walsingham, of wing reduction in females involves two modes of brachypter- have an enlarged abdomen prior to egg laying and do not readily ous females (Hackman, 1966): 1) the case where females have fly (Powell, pers. comm.).
