Introduction Tortricid moths of the tribe Grapholitini represent a worldwide distributed phytophagous microlepidopteran complex trophically associated with numerous host-plants. Adults are usually moderately small (wing span varies from 7 mm to 20 mm). Moths are active at dusk and during the night. Larvae of Grapholitini feed in fruits, seeds, stems, roots and under bark of plants. Larvae of many species are actual or potential pests in natural and agricultural phytocenoses.

For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature.

Svenssona, Olle Lindc, Olle Anderbranta a Department of Biology, Lund University, Sweden b Brain Research Institute, University of Queensland, Australia c Department of Philosophy, Lund University, Sweden ABSTRACT We investigated whether the spruce seed moth (Cydia strobilella L., Tortricidae: Grapholitini), an important pest in seed orchards of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), can make use of the spectral properties of its host when searching for flowers to oviposit on. Spectral measurements showed that the flowers, and the cones they develop into, differ from a background of P. abies needles by a higher reflectance of long wavelengths. These differences increase as the flowers develop into mature cones. Electroretinograms (ERGs) in combination with spectral adaptation suggest that C. strobilella has at least three spectral types of photoreceptor; an abundant green-sensitive receptor with maximal sensitivity at wavelength λmax = 526 nm, a blue-sensitive receptor with λmax = 436 nm, and an ultraviolet-sensitive receptor with λmax = 352 nm. Based on our spectral measurements and the receptor properties inferred from the ERGs, we calculated that open flowers, which are suitable ovi- position sites, provide detectable achromatic, but almost no chromatic contrasts to the background of needles. In field trials using traps of different spectral properties with or without a female sex pheromone lure, only pheromone-baited traps caught moths.

Within the first year of I.N.G.A., many contributions have been made, and also more subscriptions were requested. The newsletter would not be possible without your support, and we hope this continues. All are invited to submit on any article relevant to our newsletter‘s mission. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed and any suggested changes will be with permission of the authors. The I.N.G.A. newsletter is a biannually distributed electronic newsletter (published on June and December). Please feel free to check the guidelines for submission on the website: http://mississippientomologicalmuseum.org.msstate.edu/Researchtaxapages/Lepidoptera/ Gelechioidea/INGA/Submissions_Guidelines.pdf In the meantime, please enjoy the issue, and if you get a chance, send us your feedback and keep us informed about any changes or additions you would like to see with the newsletter. Wish all of you have a warm and wonderful holiday season! The editors of I.N.G.A. newsletter I.N.G.A. 3 - 2013 1 Gelechioid Aficionados intend to expand on my published dissertation and David Adamski: initiate a cladistic analysis of the world Blastobasidae, collecting data from about 550 species. From this study Moonlighting with Gelechioidea I expect to present phylogenetic-classification for the family at a global level with emphasis on the evolution of host preferences within a biogeographical context.

Insect genital characters are extensively used in species level taxonomy, and their value in species delimitation is great. Based on the lock-and-key hypothesis and that genital differences function as a mechanical isolation system between species, the value of genital characters has been thought to be superior to non-genital characters. Although geographical and other kind of intra- specific variation of genitalia is often assumed very moderate, its real extent is insufficiently investigated. We examined patterns of morphological variation in the male genitalia of the tortricid moth Pammene luedersiana, using geometric morphometric tools including thin-plate spline deformation grids, and found significant variation. This variation is continuous both within and between populations. No systematic shape variation was observed between populations, but genital size showed some geographic variability. The results suggest that genital morphology is not constant and should therefore be used with caution in lepidopteran taxonomy. INTRODUCTION species. This idea, later termed the lock-and-key hypothe- Insect genital characteristics have routinely been used sis, was adopted by many taxonomists (Eberhard, 1985), to delimit species as well as in other fields of systematics and the post-Darwinian version of it was reviewed by for decades.
