The cucumber moth, Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a major pest of cucurbitaceous plants. The oviposition preference and olfactory response of larvae, mated and unmated male and female adults to volatiles emanating from uninfested and infested plants of four species of cucurbitaceous host plants and odours of conspecifi cs were recorded. Also the role of experience in the host fi nding behaviour of D. indica was evaluated. The experiments were done using a wind tunnel, olfactometer attraction assays and oviposition bioassays. The results reveal that fewer eggs were laid on infested plants than on uninfested plants. Females signifi cantly preferred cucumber over squash, melon and watermelon. Cucurbitaceous plants elicited adults of D. indica to fl y upwind followed by landing on the plants.

GANEHIARACHCHI Department of Zoology, University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya (Received: 19 January 1995;accepted: 5 September 1997) Abstract: Diaphan ia indica (Saunders)isamajor LepidopteranpestofCucurbits. Some aspects of the biology and natural enemiesofthis pest on snalre gourd were studied. Larvae of D. indica collected from snake gourd vines were reared in the laboratory. Females laid eggs two days after copulation. The average fecundity was observed to be 267 eggs. The incubation period at room temperature was 3- 5 days. The larval period was 8-10 days and pupal period 7-9days. Themaximum longevity of the adult moth was 9 days. Two species of Braconid endoparasites (E1asn~u.sindicus and Apanteles taragamne) and an unidentified Ichneumonid ectoparasite were fbund to parasitize larvae of D.irzdica in the field. Due to the high level of parasitism by Elasn~usindicus (58.5%),the damage by D. indica to snalre gourd was not severe during the study period. Key Words: Cucurbitaceae, Diaphania indica, pests, Pyralidae, snake gourd, vegetable pests. INTRODUCTION Diaplzania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) known as pumpkin caterpillar, is one of the major pests of most Cucurbitaceae all over the w0r1d.l.~It was also reported to attack soya beans.Tost plant preference and seasonal fluctuation of this pest have also been st~died.~ In Sri Lanka, D. indica is one of the major pests of cucurbits some of which are economically important such as snake gourd (Triclzosantlzes anguina) and gherkins (Cucrsmis sativus) (M.B.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e62011. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e62011 Abstract Background Dokdo, a group of islands near the East Coast of South Korea, comprises 89 small islands. These volcanic islands were created by an eruption that also led to the formation of the Ulleungdo Islands (located in the East Sea), which are approximately 87.525 km away from Dokdo. Dokdo is important for geopolitical reasons; however, because of certain barriers to investigation, such as weather and time constraints, knowledge of its insect fauna is limited compared to that of Ulleungdo. Until 2017, insect fauna on Dokdo included 10 orders, 74 families, 165 species and 23 undetermined species; subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, we discovered 23 previously unrecorded species and three undetermined species via an insect survey.

Crambidae, Spilomelinae, box tree moth, generic placement, Diaphania, Glyphodes, Neoglyphodes, Palpita, Cydalima perspectalis, new combination, taxonomy, phylogeny, morphology, nomenclature Abstract. The box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) comb. n., is native to India, China, Korea, Japan and the Rus- sian Far East. Its larvae are a serious pest of different species of Buxus. Recently, C. perspectalis was introduced into Europe and first recorded from Germany in 2006. This species has been placed in various spilomeline genera including Palpita Hübner, 1808, Diaphania Hübner, 1818, Glyphodes Guenée, 1854 and the monotypic Neoglyphodes Streltzov, 2008. In order to solve this nomen- clatural confusion and to find a reasonable and verifiable generic placement for the box tree moth, the morphology of the above mentioned and some additional spilomeline taxa was investigated and their phylogeny analysed. The results show that C. perspec- talis belongs to a monophylum that includes three of the genera in which it was previously placed: Glyphodes, Diaphania and Pal- pita. Within this monophylum, it is closely related to the Asian Cydalima Lederer, 1863. As a result of this analysis, Sisyrophora Lederer, 1863 syn. rev. and Neoglyphodes Streltzov, 2008 syn.

Guam is located approximately 3,700 miles west-southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. It belongs to a chain of islands located in the Western Pacific Ocean called the Mariana Islands. Saipan is the capitol of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Northern Mariana Islands are a chain of islands extending northward from Guam (but not including the island of Guam). The three most populated islands in the Northern Marianas are Rota (50 miles north of Guam), Tinian (140 miles north of Guam), and Saipan (150 miles north of Guam).

Bionomics and population growth statistics of C. bergi while feeding on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi, Krapovickas et Gregory), maize (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench), welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.),and sweet and bitter cassava (Manihot es- culenta Crantz) were calculated from development time, survival of immature stages, and reproduction and female longevity under laboratory conditions. Free-choice host plant selec- tion among peanut, maize and sweet cassava was recorded with separate rearings of C. bergi from the different hosts. Optimal performance of C. bergi as measured by fecundity, sur- vival, and intrinsic rate of population increase occurred on peanut and pinto peanut followed by maize. Sweet cassava, sorghum, and welsh onion were not favorable hosts, and C. bergi was unable to complete its life cycle on bitter cassava. In the free-choice test, insects reared on peanut and maize prior to the experiments were less active in their search for food, whereas insects reared on cassava prior to the experiment showed a clear preference for pea- nut and maize over cassava.

Among the different treatments evaluated, T7 (Bacillus thuringiensis/ Dipel) and T3 (T. chilonis + D. stantoni) were more effective; T2 (D. stantoni), T4 (N. rileyi) and T5 (B. bassiana) also gave good control over the D. indica population when compared to other treatments and control.
