THE MICHIGAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 1968-1969 OFFICERS President T. Wayne Porter President-Elect Louis F. Wilson Executive Secretary M. C. Nielsen The Michigan Entomological Society traces its origins to the old Detroit Ento­ mological Society and was organized on 4 November 1954 to " . .. promote the science of entomology in all its branches and by all feasible means, and to. ad­ vance cooperation and good fellowship among persons interested in entomology ." The Society attempts to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information in both amateur and professional circles, and encourages the study of insects by youth. Membership in the Society, which serves the North Central States and adjacent Canada, is open to all persons interested in entomology. There are three paying classes of membership: • Student (including those currently enrolled in college or graduate programs)-­ annual dues $1.00 • Active--annual dues $2.00 • Sustaining--annual contribution $25.00 or more Dues are paid on a calendar year basis (Jan. I-Dec. 31). Memberships accepted before July 1 shall begin on the preceding January 1; memberships accepted at a later date shall begin the following January 1 unless the earlier date is requested and the required dues are paid. All members in good standing receive the Newsleller of the Society, published quarterly. All Active and Sustaining Members may vote in Society affairs. All dues and contributions to the Society are deductible for Federal income tax purposes. Inquiries about back numbers, subscriptions and Society business should be directed to the Executive Secretary, Michigan Entomological Society, Depart­ ment of Entomology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48823, USA.

    JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Volume 39 1985 Number 2 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(2), 1985, 65-84 MAINTAINING SPECIES INTEGRITY BETWEEN SYMPATRIC POPULATIONS OF HYALOPHORA CECROPIA AND HYALOPHORA COLUMBIA (SATURNIIDAE) IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN JAMES P. TUTTLE 728 Coachman #4, Troy, Michigan 48083 ABSTRACT. The available literature suggests that Hyalophora cecropia and Hya­ lophora columbia have identical ethological requirements with respect to reproductive behavior and F j hybrids have often been produced in the laboratory. As a result, investi­ gators have long been puzzled by the rarity of natural hybrids since the two species occur sympatrically over much of the northern Great Lakes region. Field observations in Montcalm County, Michigan, identified a series of progressive barriers which operate to prevent hybridization. The prezygotic isolating mechanisms, seasonal isolation, daily allochronic flight behavior, and mechanical incompatibility re­ strict most of the interaction between the two species. However, when individuals oc­ casionally overcome those barriers and a successful hybrid mating occurs, several post­ zygotic isolating mechanisms are then tested. As a result of the overall effectiveness of these systems, the gene pool of each species is protected, thereby allowing the two species to co-exist. The large moths of the genus Hyalophora (Saturniidae) are repre­ sented by two species within the state of Michigan. The cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia (L.), is widely distributed, while Hyalophora co­ lumbia (S. I. Smith) is a much more localized species. When Moore (1955) published his checklist of the Michigan moths, he listed 18 county records for H. cecropia from such varied locales as Dickinson County in the western portion of the Upper Peninsula to metropolitan Wayne County in the southeastern portion of the Lower Peninsula.

  • Saturniidae) Larvae on Various Plant Species
    212 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY FEEDING AND SURVIVAL OF CECROPIA (SATURNIIDAE) LARVAE ON VARIOUS PLANT SPECIES A. G. SCARBROUGH Department of Biology, Towson State College, Baltimore, ~1aryland 21204 AND G. P. WALDBAUER AND J. G. STERNBURG Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 During the course of our studies of the cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia (L.), we found a large proportion of cocoons in low shrubs. We suspected that many of these shrubs, particularly species of Juniperus and Taxus, do not support larval growth, and that the presence of cocoons on them is evidence that pre-spinning larvae wandered to them from the foodplant. Most of the shrubs in question are not included on published lists of the hostplants of cecropia, but since this does not prove that cecropia larvae could not feed on them, we made the feeding trials described below. There is some doubt as to whether or not all of the species on the published "foodplant lists" of cecropia are actually eaten by cecropia larvae. Brodie's (1882) list is reliable since he included only plants on which larvae had been found feeding in the field. On the other hand, Marsh's (1937) list is of dubious value since he included plants on which he had found cocoons but had not seen larvae. Tietz (1958) compiled a long list, but, unfortunately, did not state the evidence upon which the plants were included. MA TERIALS AND METHODS Most cocoons were collected in residential areas, principally in the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana, Illinois, although a few were found in nearby small towns.

    INSECT IMMUNITY: INDUCIBLE ANTIBACTERIAL PROTEINS FROM HYALOPHORA CECROPIA Dan Hultmark University of Stockholm Dept. of Microbiology S-106 91 Stockholm Sweden INSECT IMMUNITY: INDUCIBLE ANTIBACTERIAL PROTEINS FROM HYALOPHORA CECROPIA Dan Hultmark Stockholm 1982 Doctoral Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Stockholm 1982 This thesis is based on five papers; references (1-5) in the reference list. ABSTRACT - A powerful bactericidal activity can be induced in the hemolymph of many insects as a response to an injection of bacteria. The nature of the effector molecules of this immune response was investigated, using pupae of the Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. Three major types of antibacterial proteins were found: the cecropins, the P5 proteins, and lysozyme. They appear in the hemolymph as a result of de novo synthesis. Six different cecropins were purified and characterized. The full amino acid sequences of the three major cecropins A, B and D were determined, as well as partial sequences of the three minor cecropins C, E and F. The cecropins are all very small (M = 4,000) and basic (pi > 9.5) proteins, and they show extensive homology in the if sequences. The three major cecropins are products of different genes. Their C-terminals are blocked by uncharged groups, which can be removed by mild acid hydrolysis. The minor cecropins are closely related to the major forms, and may be unblocked precursors or, in one case (cecropin F), a minor allelic form. The cecropins were shown to be lytic, and to be efficient against several Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains, but not against mammalian cells.

Gallice2 Introduction The cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia Linnaeus, is among the most spectacular of the North American Lepidoptera. It is a member of the Saturniidae, a family of moths prized by collectors and nature lovers alike for their large size and extremely showy appearance. Adults are occasionally seen attracted to lights during spring and early summer, a common habit of many moths. It is unclear exactly why these insects visit lights, although a number of theories exist. One such theory posits that artificial lights interfere with the moths’ internal Figure 1.

Since the moon is effectively cecropia (Linnaeus, 1758) at optical infinity, its distant rays enter the moth’s eye in diana (Castiglioni, 1790) parallel, making it an extremely useful navigational tool.
