Ltd, Taigu, Shanxi, China Abstract This study was performed in Luanxian County, Hebei Province, China, from June to August of 2014 and 2015. We sought to de- velop a new and effective method for controlling the moth Monema flavescens. We synthesized the principal female sex phero- mones and conducted a series of field experiments using traps baited with (E)-8-decen-1-ol (E8-10:OH), (Z)-7,9-decadien-1-ol (Z7,9-10:OH), and (Z)-9,11-dodecadien-1-ol (Z9,11-12:OH), alone or in combination. The number of males captured by traps baited with synthetic E8-10:OH increased when Z7,9-10:OH, Z9,11-12:OH, or both was/were added. Traps baited with a 10:2:1 (w/w/w) mixture of E8-10:OH, Z7,9-10:OH, and Z9,11-12:OH at a total dose of 650 µg septum−1 were the most efficient. Further, a delta trap hung about 1.5 m above the ground was very effective. Our work will facilitate safer and more environmentally friendly management of M. flavescens. Key words: Monema flavescens, sex pheromone trapping, (E)-8-decen-1-ol, (Z)-7,9-decadien-1-ol, (Z)-9,11-dodecadien-1-ol.

    Saddleback Caterpillar Acharia Stimulea (Clemens) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Limacodidae)1 Christopher S

    EENY-522 Saddleback Caterpillar Acharia stimulea (Clemens) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Limacodidae)1 Christopher S. Bibbs and J. Howard Frank2 Introduction Acharia stimulea (Clemens) is a limacodid moth, or slug moth, best known for its larval growth phase. Distinct bright color patterns and the presence of venomous, urticating spines lead to its recognition as the saddleback caterpillar. It is native to a large range in the eastern United States and able to feed on a wide array of host plant species. This species can survive well in northern temperate areas and warmer southern climates. The saddleback caterpillar is encountered most frequently as a medically significant pest, and has minor effects in landscaping and agriculture. Synonymys Empretia stimulea Clemens Limacodes ephippiatus Harris Figure 1. Mature larvae of the saddleback caterpillar, Acharia stimulea Sibine stimulea (Clemens) (Clemens). Credits: Lyle J. Buss, University of Florida Acharia stimulea (Clemens) Distribution (Dyar and Morton 1896) Acharia stimulea has a wide range in the eastern United States, occurring as far southward as Florida, northward to New York and Massachusetts, and westward to Texas, Indiana, and Kansas (Snow 1875; Darlington 1952; Nie- senbaum 1992; Landau and Prowell 1999; Heppner 2003; Covell 2005; Wagner 2005). 1.

Bharamal* Department of Zoology, Shri Pancham khemraj Mahavidyalaya Sawantvadi (416 510), MS, India *Corresponding author ABSTRACT The study reports the results from surveys for moth in the Amboli Reserve K e yw or ds Forest during 2009-2011.This paper presents an inventory of 56species of Moth, moths from14 families which were recorded by light trapping at Amboli. We Fauna, assume that monitoring the abundance dynamics of this indicator Sindhudurg, assemblage of moth species will helpunderstand the future changes in Maharashtra quality and composition of the vegetation zones concerned. Introduction Materials and Methods The order Lepidoptera comprises with During the present study the moths were Butterflies and Moths, which are the most collected from different localities of Amboli common insects of the forest ecosystems Reserved Forest. Moths specimen were and agricultural fields and are often termed collected by using light trap by using white as the biological indicators of the ecosystem. screen (40 W - UV Lamp) during the study Lepidoptera is the second largest and the periodJanuary 2009 to December 2011. The most diverse order of the class Insecta samples were collected in evening 6 PM to 9 (Benton, 1995). Most of the biological PM. Collected moths were etherized in the researchers have used Lepidoptera as a glass bottle, placed in paper envelops and model organism to assess the impact of brought to the laboratory.

    Notes on the Family Dalcerid^E

    OF WASHINGTON, VOI.UMK XII, lull). 113 ready to give others the benefit of his wide bibliographic knowledge, and his untimely demise is greatly to be deplored, not only as a severe loss to hemipterology, but his optimistic and kindly personality will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues. He was a fellow of the Entomological Society, London, since 1895, a member of the American Association of Economic Entomologists, and several other entomological soci- eties, and was for several years associated as a subeditor with the "London Entomologist," and was president for the ensu- ing year of the Hawaiian Entomological Society, a local society chiefly devoting its observations to the bionomics of the native insect fauna of the archipelago. The deceased leaves a wife, a little daughter, and an aged mother to mourn his loss. The following papers were accepted for publication: NOTES ON THE FAMILY DALCERID^E. [Lepidoptera; Dalceridce.] BY HARRISON G. DYAR. I first gave a synopsis of the genera of this interesting little in 1898 N. Y. Soc. family (Journ. Ent. , vi, 231), recognizing five genera. Later, Mr. Schaus published a table (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. in which ten are dis- , xxix, 331, 1906), genera tinguished. Not much has been added to our knowledge since that date, but I think an improvement can be effected by a change in the order of the characters used in the table, with the suppression of one genus. Two other genera are here recognized, bringing the number up to eleven. The family is allied to the Cochlidiidse. I have never seen a larva of any species of the group, and know of but two descriptions.
