One new species, H. tengri Volynkin & Matov, sp. n. is described from West Mongolia, southwestern part of Mongolian Altai Mts. The adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Heliothinae, Heliocheilus, new species, Asia, Mongolia, Tibet, Pacific region, Hi- malaya Introduction Heliocheilus Grote, 1865 is a cosmopolitan genus belonging to the noctuid subfamily Heliothinae Boisduval, [1828]. The genus belongs to the Heliothis genus-group, the systematics of the Palaearctic members of the genus was reviewed by Fibiger et al. (2009). The H. translucens species-group includes two described Palaearctic species. In the course of studies on Lepidoptera of the Altai mountain country (Volynkin 2012; Yakovlev 2012) a third, undescribed species of the species group was identified among material from the southern part of the Mongolian Altai. The present paper comprises the review of the H. translucens species-group and description of the new species. Material and methods Specimens for this study are held in the following collections: Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK, Bonn, Germany), Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZISP, St.-Petersburg, Russia), Siberian Zoological Museum, Institute of Animal Systematic and Ecology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SZMN, Novosibirsk, Russia), Institute of Biology and Soil Science (IBSS, Vladivostok, Russia) and coll. Anton Volynkin (AVB, Barnaul, Russia). All material was examined using modern dissection standards for preparation of male and female genitalia of Lepidoptera. The depository of the types of the new species is stated in the paragraph 'Type material'. Accepted by M.

The H. translucens species-group The species-group comprises three species, one of which is described below as new. All three species are Palaearctic and distributed distinctly allopatric, to our present knowledge. External morphology of adults. Medium-sized moths with well defined noctuid pattern. Males have swollen forewing costa and elliptical and elongate transparent hyaline areas devoid of scales in distal part of dilated area between R1 and R2 and in the cell. Females have somewhat broader forewings with not swollen costa and without hyaline areas. In H. translucens and H. tengri, head, thorax and forewing colouration varies within the species from pale greyish-brown or olive-brown to orange- or reddish-brown. The third species, H. fervens, has more monotonous, shiny brownish-orange head, thorax and forewing colouration. In the male genitalia, uncus long and narrow, somewhat extended in medial part; tegumen moderately long; penicular lobes wide, weak; juxta wide, shield-like; vinculum short, weak, V-shaped. Valva elongate, narrow, slightly curved and extended apically; corona presented; sacculus weak, narrow, short. Aedeagus short, straight; lamina of carina trigonal, robust; vesica long, tubular, without cornuti, twisted, often upturned anteriorly and dorsally, distally gradually tapered, has two moderately large subbasal diverticuli and a longitudinal sclerotised band in the medial part. In the female genitalia, ovipositor relatively short, subconical. Papillae anales trigonal, with large setae. Apophyses relatively long, thin; apophyses anteriores longer than apophyses posteriores. Ostium bursae sclerotised, relatively short, wide, more or less trapezoidal, with strongly sclerotised lateral margins. Ductus bursae moderately long, extended at junction to corpus bursae, right side of its anterior part sclerotised and ribbed. Right side of posterior part of corpus bursae strongly sclerotised and ribbed. Anterior part of corpus bursae sack-like, with one-three signa. Appendix bursae relatively large, ovoid, heavily sclerotised at junction to posterior part of the corpus bursae, its posterior part conically narrowed.

Chapel St., Newark, DE, 19711, USA *Author for correspondence; (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 31 May 2005; accepted in revised form 21 December 2005 Abstract. A series of laboratory experiments was conducted on a colony of Bracon celer Sze´pligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Female B. celer preferentially probe and oviposit into olives containing late third-instar fly larvae. The parasitoid develops as a solitary, ectoparasitic idiobiont. Mean development time (oviposition to adult eclosion) at 22 °C was, for females, 36±1 (SE) days, and for males, 34±1 days. The mean longevity of adult female wasps when provided honey and water was significantly greater than when they were provided water alone, or nothing. The females produced an average of 9.7±7.2 progeny during their lifetimes, but production levels in the insectary colony suggested that this level of fecundity was artificially low and could be improved.

  • Heliothis Virescens Species Group (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae) Based on Morphology and Three Genes
    Systematic Entomology (2013), 38, 523–542 DOI: 10.1111/syen.12010 Revised status of Chloridea Duncan and (Westwood), 1841, for the Heliothis virescens species group (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae) based on morphology and three genes MICHAEL G. POGUE Department of Agriculture, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, PSI, Agricultural Research Service, U.S, Washington, DC, U.S.A. Abstract. The Heliothinae comprise some of the world’s most injurious agricultural pests. This study reanalyses a subsample of the Heliothis group to determine the monophyly of Chloridea (Heliothis virescens and H. subflexa). Two nuclear gene regions, elongation factor-1α (EF-1α; 1240 bp) and dopa decarboylase (DDC ; 687 bp), and the barcoding region of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI ; 708 bp) were used in this analysis for a total of 2635 bp and a morphological dataset of 20 characters and 62 character states. Sixteen species representing five genera plus two outgroup species were used in the analysis. Analyses used were Maximum Parsimony (MP), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI). The revised status for the monophyletic genus Chloridea Duncan and (Westwood) was supported by a very strong bootstrap support (BP = 98–100). Larval host-plant usage is discussed within the Heliothis clade. Polyphagy is most likely the ancestral condition with a host shift to monophagy and oligophagy. Based on known larval hosts, Heliocheilus is oligophagous on Poaceae. Traits of host plant use in Helicoverpa and Chloridea where both polyphagy and oligophagy occur in closely related species are discussed. Introduction the world (Fitt, 1989). Cho et al.

Okdolbong in Bongwha, Gyeongbuk, where a national arboretum is planned to be constructed, through investigating the insect fauna and obtaining its evidence samples. In particular, this region is very important for studies on biodiversity and its preservation, and requires fundamental data for related studies such as investigations of vulnerable species and changes in their distribution associated with climatic changes. A total of 263 species including 1,689 individuals of moths was collected in this study. The most dominant species was Endotricha loivaceali with 222 individuals, and was followed by Hydrillodes morose with 97 individuals and Craneophora ficki with 86 individuals.

  • IDENTIFICATION GUIDE to LARVAL Heliothlnae (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) of QUARANTINE SIGNIFICANCE
    IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO LARVAL HELIOTHlNAE (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) OF QUARANTINE SIGNIFICANCE Steven Passoa USDNAPHIS/PPQ 1315 Kinnear Rd. Columbus, OHIO 43212 Computer Graphics by Sibyl Bucheli, The Ohio State University; Port Infonnation Network (PIN) Printouts by Don Christopher, USDNAPHIS/PPQ DRAFT- DO NOT PUBLISH OR CITE WITHOUT AUTHOR'S PERMISSION version 2004, partially revised IV-2007 ABSTRACT A preliminary key to Heliothinae larvae of quarantine significance is presented emphasizing morphology, hosts, and origins. The key includes commonly intercepted species and potential pests likely to be intercepted because of their broad host range or distribution. To facilitate risk assessments and identification authority, the key documents crops and origins where the present state of our knowledge does not allow identification to the species level. Pest species in the Heliothinae represent a serious threat to North American agriculture. API-lIS needs to be concerned with the introduction of new pests to the United States as well as the exportation of our native species to other countries that could undenlline trade agreements. Two pests of export concern to North American members ofNAFTA (Canada, USA, Mexico) are Helicoverpa zea and Heliothis phloxiphaga. In recent years, Heliocheilus albipZlnetelia has emerged as a pest of millet in central Africa. Millet is imported as bird feed in the pet trade so a potential pathway exists for introduction of this species. Interceptions of Helicoverpa armigera at United States ports may also be increasing (C. Brodel, pers. obsv.), this too is a cause for concern. It is recommended that Heliothinae larvae submitted for identification include the hostplant fan1ily. Molecular methods and rearing immatures to adults both show promise as procedures to increase the accuracy of our PIN system.
