Traps baited with floral chemicals on the island of Hawaii captured several pest moth species. Chrysodeixis eriosoma (Doubleday) (green garden looper), Au- tographa biloba (Doubleday) (bi-lobed looper), and Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth) (true armyworm), all Noctuidae, as well as Hymenia recurvalis (L.) (beet webworm), a Crambidae, were trapped with phenylacetaldehyde (PAA). There was no response by moths to β-myrcene (BM), methyl salicylate (MS), cis jasmone (CJ), methyl-2-methoxy benzoate (MMB), 2-phenylethanol (2PE), or linalool (LIN) when these chemicals were tested singly. When other floral chemicals were presented in traps with PAA, numbers of C. eriosoma captured were increased by BM, MS, 2PE or MMB. Numbers of A. biloba and Peridroma saucia (Hübner) (variegated cutworm) were increased by including BM with PAA in traps. Numbers of M. unipuncta were increased by BM or 2PE, and numbers of H. recurvalis were increased by MMB or LIN, presented with PAA. Both sexes of these five species of moths were trapped with floral lures, most females captured were mated, and many females possessed mature eggs. -

Phelsuma 13; 9-24 Developing strategies for invertebrate conservation: the case for the Seychelles islands JUSTIN GERLACH1, PAT MATYOT2 & MICHAEL J. SAMWAYS3 1 PO Box 207, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES / University Museum of Zoology Cambridge, Department of Zoology, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, U.K. [[email protected]] 2 c/o SBC, PO Box 321, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES 3 Department of Entomology and Centre for Agricultural Biodiversity, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Matieland, 7602, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract: Approaches to invertebrate conservation in Seychelles are reviewed. These comprise taxonomic research and Red List assessments, monitoring of populations and the status of habitats, monitoring of introduced species and research into their ecology and research into the status of pollinators. Further research is required on the effects of invasive species, identification of key pollinators and the effects of climate change. Red List assessments are given for threatened Mollusca, Orthopteroidea and Lepidoptera. Keywords: invertebrate conservation, invasive species, pollinators, Red List assessments, taxonomy In 2001, a meeting was held in Washington to investigate the practicalities of developing a global strategy for invertebrate conservation. This ‘Invertebrate Scoping Workshop’ proposed 8 main actions needed for the full integration of invertebrates in the planning and conservation assessments of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) (IUCN/SSC/CBSG 2001). To date, these have only been partially implemented due at least in part to a lack of funding. The recommendations are being implemented at a local level in Seychelles and this provides an indication of the relevance of these actions to developing conservation action. Taxonomic Specialist Groups of IUCN’s Species Survival Commission cover only a small proportion of the world’s invertebrates. -

Coral Sea CMR 2016, a Bush Blitz Survey Report
Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve 13–24 June 2016 Bush Blitz Species Discovery Program CSCMR 13–24 June 2016 What is Bush Blitz? Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected conservation areas across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ANIC Australian National Insect Collection ATH Australian Tropical Herbarium AVH Australia’s Virtual Herbarium CSCMR Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature QM Queensland Museum UNSW University of New South Wales WAM Western Australian Museum Page 2 of 32 CSCMR 13–24 June 2016 Summary The Coral Sea Bush Blitz took place between 13 and 24 June 2016. Four islands of the Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CSCMR) were surveyed: East Diamond Islet, South West Coringa Islet, North East Herald Cay and South West Herald Cay, including the surrounding coral reefs. This Bush Blitz was undertaken in partnership with the Commonwealth Marine Reserves Branch of Parks Australia as part of the Great Coral Sea Clean-up and Bio-Discovery Voyage. The partnership aimed to develop a better understanding of marine debris, flora and fauna, and quarantine issues in the CSCMR. In the survey, 175 taxa were collected. The reserve’s flora and fauna has an inherently low biodiversity largely comprising widespread species that have broad Indo-Pacific or pan-tropical distribution patterns. -
Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) Epiphyas Postvittana (Walker) Screening and Identification Aid
Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) Screening and Identification Aid S. Passoa1, M. Epstein2, T. Gilligan3, J. Brambila4, M. O’Donnell2 The light brown apple moth (LBAM) is a member of the Tortricidae, a large family of moths (Lepidoptera) that includes many pest species. In North America there are approximately 1200 species of tortricids, which are often referred to as “leafrollers” because the larvae of some species feed inside a rolled leaf. Most tortricid moths are small and brown with a wingspan of approximately 10-30 mm. Although wing pattern can be used to identify some tortricids, the forewings of LBAM are extremely variable and wing pattern should not be used for identification. This aid is designed to assist in the screening and identification of LBAM adults collected from sticky traps in the Figure 1: Outline of a light brown United States. It covers basic sorting of traps, first and second level apple moth in resting position. screening, and identification based on morphological characters. Due to the extreme variability of LBAM adults, prior knowledge of dissection techniques and Lepidopteran morphology may be necessary to identify suspect LBAM specimens. Sorting Traps should be initially sorted based on the presence of moths of the appropriate size, color, and shape. Traps that contain moths meeting all of the following requirements should be moved to level 1 screening: 1) moths are approximately 7-12 mm long (forewing length) (Fig. 2 & 3) 2) moths caught in sticky traps have Figure 2: Examples of LBAM yellowish-brown to dark brown appearance adults caught in a sticky trap. -

I sampled nine such islands in the central Exumas, Bahamas for arthropod species abundance and diversity using a combination of pitfall traps, pan traps and sticky traps. Three islands had no terrestrial vegetation, three islands contained only Sesuvium portulacastrum L., a salt-tolerant perennial that had been experimentally introduced 10 years ago, and three islands supported one or two naturally occurring plant species. A relatively diverse arthropod assemblage was discovered, including representatives of 10 different orders of Crustacea and Insecta. Land hermit crabs were the most abundant crustaceans, and dipterans were the most abundant and speciose insects. -

Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae form a species-rich monophylum of Crambidae (snout moths). Morphological distinction of the two groups has been diffcult in the past, and the morphologically heterogenous Spilomelinae has not been broadly accepted as a natural group due to the lack of convincing apomorphies. In order to investigate potential apomorphic characters for Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae and to ex- amine alternative phylogenetic hypotheses, we conduct a phylogenetic analysis using 6 molecular markers and 114 morphological characters of the adults representing 77 genera of Spilomelinae and 18 genera of Pyraustinae. -
Lepidoptera Recorded on Santa Catalina Island
LEPIDOPTERA RECORDED ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND compiled by Jerry A. Powell August 2004; revised Jan. 2012 INTRODUCTION. --- HISTORY OF LEPIDOPTERA INVENTORY ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND, CALIFORNIA Santa Catalina Island is the third largest of the eight Channel Islands off the coast of southern California. It is the largest and nearest to the mainland (ca. 20 miles) of the four southern islands and historically has been the most easily accessible to visitors, some of whom collected Lepidoptera long before any were recorded on the other islands. Catalina island has an area of 76 mi2 (122 km2) and is about 21 miles (34 km) long and 8 miles (13 km) wide near its center. The island is mountainous, with a central ridge along its length, reaching elevations of 2,097’ (670m) and 2,010’ (648m). The flora is diverse, 2nd only to Santa Cruz among the CA islands, with more than 400 native species of vascular plants and 175+ introduced taxa. It is the only CA island open to the public, receiving daily residential and tourist traffic, with ferry and air transportation to and from Avalon (3,000 resident population) and Two Harbors (200 residents) (Schoenherr et al. 1999). The town of Avalon was founded as a potential resort in 1887, and later the island was purchased by the Banning family, who formed the Santa Catalina Island Company and completed work on Avalon, which they promoted as a fishing resort. By the 1890s photographs taken around Avalon indicate extensive vegetation stripping by feral goats and sheep. Feral ruminants were excluded from the southeastern portion of the island following its purchase by Wm.
