An East Asian-Oriental noctuid species Callopistria aethiops Butler, 1878 is recorded from Russia for the first time. The trend of invasions of the southern Macroheterocera species into the Russian Far East has existed at least during last century but is noticeably increased during last 20 years.

NAT. HIST. BULL SIAM Soc. 35: 1-17, 1987 BIOLOGICAL AND TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON IMMATURE AND ADULT FRUIT-PIERCING MOTHS IN NEPAL, WITH REFERENCE TO THAILAND Hans Biinziger* ABSTRACT Twenty-four species of fruit-piercing moths not previously reported in Nepal were found near Kathmandu. Adults pierced peach, plum and wild fruit; the damage inflicted is discussed. Most common were Oraesia rectistria Guenee, Adris tyrdnnus (Guenee), and Ad. okurai Okano which is shown to be a senior synonym of Ad. suthep ensis Blinziger & Honey. Until recently considered a rare moth, the immatures of this species are described for the first time, as are. the adult's feeding habits. The larval host plant was Holboellia latijolia Wallich (Lardizabalaceae), a family not present in Thailand and Malaysia where the moth also occurs. Three species of Berberidaceae and 11 of Menispermaceae w_ere tested as foqd and rejected, although these seem to be the only possible alternative larval host plants in Thailand. Many of these were accepted by the related Ad. tyrannus and Othreis spp. Ot. fullonia (Clerck), a most noxious fruit-piercer in Thailand and other mainly tropical lowland areas, was scarce in Nepal; the inconsistency of larval food preference of this and· of Ad. okurai is discussed. INTRODUCTION No published report seems to exist about fruit-piercing by adult moths in Nepal. The nearest observations are from India (SUSAINATHAN, 1924; SONTAKAI, 1944; RAMAKRISHNA AYYAR, 1944) where at least 14 species have been reported to be asso ciated with fruit. RAMAKRISHNA AYYAR, however, pointed out that it is not clear if all these species are actually fruit-piercers, and what type of damage they cause.

Volume-5, Issue-9, September- 2016 • ISSN No 2277 - 8160 IF : 3.62 | IC Value 70.36 Commerce Original Research Paper Zoology Moths (Lepidoptera) of A.V.C College and Adjoining Areas, Mannampandal: an Initial Checklist Subhasish P.G. and Research Department of Wildlife Biology, A.V.C. College (Autonomous) Mannampandal, Mayiladuthurai 609305, Tamil Nadu Arandhara (India) ABSTRACT Moths are diverse group of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera and regarded as one of the indicators of a healthy environment. This study deals with the first documentation on the moth species of A.V.C. College campus and its adjoining areas of Mannampandal in Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu. The study was carried out from July 2015 to April 2016, surveying areas mostly in the college campus, human settlements and agricultural lands. The survey examined the light illuminated walls of the College campus where moths accumulated during the evening hours. Light trapping equipped with 18w UV-Actinic tube was also used to record moths from nearby agricultural lands. In total, the study identified 134 individuals of moths belonging to 76 species, 55 genera falling under 12 families. The genera Cyana represented the highest number of species, followed by Agathia and Asota with 7, 4 and 4 species each respectively belonging to Erebidae: Lithosiinae, Geometridae: Geometrinae, Erebidae: Aganainae (Family: Subfamily) respectively. The most commonly occurred species was Scirpophaga incertulas, followed by Aegocera venulia, Glyphodes bivatralis, with 20, 14 and 11 individuals respectively. KEYWORDS : A.V.C College Campus, Lepidoptera, Inventory, Moths A.V.C College Campus and its adjoining areas of Mannampandal is a temperature, weather conditions, altitudinal gradient, and the type agro-based village located in Mayiladuthurai town of the South In- of methods implemented.

About 134 families comprising 157, 000 species of living Lepidoptera, including the butterflies has been documented globally [2], holding around 17% of the world's known insect fauna. Estimates, however, suggest more species in the order [3]. Naturalists for convenience categorised moths into two informal groups, the macro moths having larger physical size and recency in evolution and micro moths [4] that are smaller in size and primitive in origin .
