    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.

Larvae feed on fruit flesh and burrow into the seed, producing large amounts of frass and causing the fruits to drop from the tree prematurely. Larval damage renders the fruits unfit for commercial sale, leading to significant economic losses. The avocado seed moth has only been recorded as feeding on members of the Lauraceae family, with Persea americana (avocado) as the major host and other secondary hosts: P. schiedeana (coyo), wild Persea spp., and Beilschmedia spp. California accounts for the majority of avocado production in the U.S., followed by Florida and Hawaii. Stenoma catenifer is a small moth with few distinguishing features Fig. 1. Dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) as an adult.

Buchner Abstract This paper deals with a species which was described as Depressaria thurneri Rebel, 1940. The type series consisting of 7 specimens, is stored at the NHMW. Hannemann dissected a male, the result made it necessary to put it into the genus Agonopterix HÜBNER, [1825]. In preparation for the volume „Microlepidoptera of Europe: Depressariinae“ several non-type-specimens of this taxon were dissected, but all turned out to be Exaeretia Stainton , 1849. Dissections of type specimens brought the same result. In search of the cause of this contradiction I realized, the abomen had not been removed completely, but was broken in the middle. The proximal part showed clearly it had been affixed with glue. This was first interpreted as that Hannemann's Agonopterix thurneri “ slide came from another moth, because a foreign abdomen had been glued. In support of this assumption characteristics were sought by which the genera Agonopterix and Exaeretia are distinguishable by external characteristics. Such could be found also, with one caveat: The holotype of Exaeretia conciliatella (Rebel, 1892) showed consistently features which apply for Agonopterix. A close look at this holotype showed, the abdomen was also broken in the middle and the proximal part was affixed with glue. The moth looked like Agonopterix mutatella Hannemann , 1989, the preparation resulted in an Exaeretia thurneri- slide.

  • Records of Two New Palearctic Moth Species Associated with Queen Anne’S Lace in Nova Scotia
    J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 13: 54-57 (2017) NOTE Records of two new Palearctic moth species associated with Queen Anne’s lace in Nova Scotia Jeffrey Ogden Daucus carota Linnaeus, commonly known as Queen Anne’s lace or wild carrot, is native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It is believed to have been introduced to North America in soil ballast by the first European settlers (Lindroth 1957). It has historically been used as a food source and is the ancestral plant of our common cultivated garden carrot. Since its introduction, Daucus carota has spread widely and is common to much of North America. In Nova Scotia, this biennial is a very common plant of fields, roadsides and other weedy areas throughout the mainland and parts of Cape Breton (Zinck 1998). Previous insect surveys have recorded hundreds of species of insects attracted to the large white flower heads of the plant (Judd 1970; Largo & Mann 1987). Although considered a common weed species, Daucus carota is an important host to numerous beneficial insect species, including many pollinators and predatory species (Judd 1970). In this report, the first detections ofSitochroa palealis (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the carrot seed moth, and Depressaria depressana (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), the purple carrot seed moth, are described from Nova Scotia. Larvae of each species were collected within the flower heads of Daucus carota during the summers of 2015 to 2017. Adults were collected as part of an ongoing light trapping survey and through lab rearing. Verified photograph records were also considered. Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources Reference Collection, the Nova Scotia Museum, and the author’s personal collection.

Impact of the invasive crazy ant Anoplolepis gracilipes on Bird Island, Seychelles J. Gerlach University Museum of Zoology Cambridge, Department of Zoology, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 26 March 2003; accepted in revised form 12 December 2003 Key words: Anoplolepis gracilipes, Ant, Formicidae, Invasion, Management, Seychelles Abstract The crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) invaded Bird island, Seychelles, in the 1980s. In 1997, its range expanded and population densities increased. The impacts of this change were studied in 2001 using a combination of arthropod collecting methods. The ant population excluded larger invertebrates (principally the large ant Odontomachus simillimus and the crabs, principally Ocypode spp.). Cockroaches, however, remained abundant in ant-infested areas and tree-nesting birds (Lesser Noddy Anous tenuirostris) appear to be able to breed successfully in the presence of the crazy ant. The ants are only abundant in areas of deep shade which provide cool nesting areas, yet enabling them to forage in the open when ground temperatures fall. The expansion of the ants was correlated with the regeneration of woodland on the island. Recommendations are made for the management of the woodland which may reduce the impacts of the crazy ant.

L. Lvovsky, S. Yu. Sinev, V. D. Kravchenko & G. C. Müller Abstract A checklist of 67 Israeli species of families Oecophoridae (17 species), Autostichidae (16), Depressariidae (25), Cryptolechiidae (3), and Lecithoceridae (6) is presented. The checklist is based on material collected by the authors in 2003 in Israel and existing published records. Eight species are new records for the fauna of Israel: Dasycera intermediella Stainton, 1867, Batia internella Jäckh, 1972, Carcina quercana (Fabricius, 1775), Oegoconia deauratella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854), Oegoconia caradjai Popescu-Gorj & Caˇpus¸e, 1965, Agonopterix ferulae (Zeller, 1847), Agonopterix kaekeritziana (Linnaeus, 1767) and Lecithocera anatolica Gozmány, 1978. Two new combinations are proposed: Epicallima einsleri (Amsel, 1934), comb.
