ACTA ZOOLOGICA AC A DEMI AE SCIENTIARUM HUNGARICAE E dited by E. DUDICH VOLUMESI-X Contents—Authors’ index—Subject Index Index of New Taxa and Nomina Compiled by Á. SOÓS AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ, BUDAPEST 1964 ACTA ZOOE. HUNG. / INTRODUCTION The Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, a periodical o f the Hungarian Academy o f Sciences publish original papers on zoological taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography, evolution, ecology, ethology, life history, zoocoenology, production biology, and, more recently, descriptive paleontology. All papers are published in the Congress languages, principally in English and German. The Acta Zoologica aims at supplying information on investigations in Hungary in the fields of zoology mentioned. Taxonomical papers present mainly the description of new taxa (hitherto not less than 771 new taxa : 13 super­ families, 11 families, 73 genera, 20 subgenera, 594 species, 41 subspecies, and 19 varieties, i.e. 17 new names), or revisions of smaller or greater taxonomical units. Papers on faunistics discuss, from the aspect o f zoogeographical, ecological, ethological or genetical considerations, the fauna of little known or unknown areas. Zoocoenological or production biological contributions deal with general principles, or, more rarely, methodical problems. Descriptive paleontological papers cover the descriptions of new taxa, the revision of smaller groups, and the discussion of genetically important faunas. The following Indexes to Volumes I — X of the Acta Zoologica expect to inform the reader on the above themes grouped in comprehensive, summarized surveys. 1* CONTENTS I.

  • SYSTEMATICS of the MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of T
    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

  • Description of European Chamaesphecia Spp
    Bulletin of Entomological Research (1996) 86, 703-714 703 Description of European Chamaesphecia spp. (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) feeding on Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae), and their potential for biological control of leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) in North America I. Tosevski, A. Gassmann and D. Schroeder International Institute of Biological Control, European Station, Delemont, Switzerland Abstract The description of the ten Chamaesphecia species associated with Euphorbia in eastern and south-eastern Europe is based on external adult morphology, male and female genitalia, and the structure of the egg chorion. These species can be divided into two groups according to the shape of the setae of the dorso-basal part of the valvae in the male genitalia. Most Chamaesphecia species are associated with one species of host-plant and all are closely tied to one habitat type. The host-plant and the structure of the egg chorion are fundamental characteristics for the determination of a few species, and very helpful for the others. All species bore into the main root of their host-plant and overwinter as larvae. With the exception of two species which have an annual or biennial life cycle, all species are univoltine. The larvae of three of the eight Chamaesphecia spp. investigated feed and develop in the roots of North American leafy spurge, Euphorbia esula sensu lato. Of these, the best candidate for the biological control of leafy spurge is C. crassicornis, because the larvae have a similar survival rate on the target weed and the European host-plant, E. virgata. Introduction group of species in Europe is attacked by a large complex of specialized insects and pathogens, and thus it is a suitable Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula Linnaeus sensu lato) target weed in North America for classical biological control (Crompton et al, 1990) is a toxic deep-rooted herbaceous (Gassmann & Schroeder, 1995).

  • Horehound Suppression Using the Horehound Clearwing Moth (DSE Vic)
    December 1998 Horehound suppression with the LC0162 horehound clearwing moth ISSN 1329-833X Keith Turnbull Research Institute, Frankston Common and scientific names Horehound clearwing moth Chamaesphecia mysiniformis (Rambur) Family Sesiidae, clearwing moths Background Horehound, Marrubium vulgare, is a weed of pastures, crops and conservation reserves in southern Australia where it thrives on poor soils, in waste places and unmanaged areas. It is a Regionally Prohibited Weed in the Port Phillip East Catchment and Land Protection Region and a Regionally Controlled Weed in the remainder of Victoria. Figure 1. Adult female horehound clearwing moth. A program is underway to introduce a number of natural enemies of horehound from Europe. Extensive testing of two of these agents, the horehound plume moth, Pterophorus spilodactylus, and the horehound clearwing moth, has demonstrated that they feed only on horehound and do not attack species of commercial value or native plants. The plume moth was first released in Victoria in 1994. The clearwing moth was first released in Victoria in March 1997. Description and life cycle Adult - 9 to 10 mm in length with a wingspan of 12 to 14 mm, dark brown with fine white lines across the abdomen (Figs. 1 and 2).

    United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service 2013 Ranking Period 1 Water Quality Enhancement Activity – WQL01 – Biological suppression and other non-chemical techniques to manage brush, herbaceous weeds and invasive species Enhancement Description This enhancement is for the reduction of woody brush, herbaceous weeds and invasive plants using non- chemical methods. Physical methods include pulling, hoeing, mowing, mulching or other similar techniques. Biological methods include use of natural enemies either introduced or augmented. Use of chemicals is prohibited with this enhancement. Land Use Applicability Pastureland, Rangeland, Forestland Benefits Environmental benefits will be site specific. Benefits may include but are not limited to improved water quality achieved through eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides resulting in no chemicals in surface runoff or leaching into the soil profile. Air quality will see similar impacts by eliminating chemical drift and volatilization. Controlling invasive species, brush and weeds will allow native plant communities to return and improve wildlife habitat. Conditions Where Enhancement Applies This enhancement applies to all pasture, range or forest land use acres. Criteria 1. Develop a plan for managing invasive plants, brush and/or weeds that includes: a. Assessment of existing conditions, b. Identify strategies for control, c. Control methods selected, d. Monitoring and evaluation process, and e. Operation and maintenance follow up activities. 2. Implementation of this enhancement requires the use of biological and/or physical pest suppression techniques instead of pesticides. These techniques, used individually or in combination, can include activities such as: a. Grazing animals (primarily through the use of goats) to target undesirable vegetation. b.

Although the sizes of the geographical ranges of plant and animal species are of major interest to macroecologists, the spa- tial distributions and environmental correlates of only a small group of animals and plants are well studied. Here data on the spatial distributions of 116 European clearwing moths (Sesiidae) was used to determine the patterns in spatial distribution, postglacial colo- nization and endemism. The spatial distributions of sesiids are significantly more coherent and there are fewer isolated occurrences and unexpected absences than predicted by a random sample null model. After correcting for environmental correlates, islands and mainland countries did not differ significantly in the number of species with small ranges. Polyphagous wood attending species were more widespread than those with other life histories. Species of Siberian origin had wider ranges than those of Mediterranean origin. Nestedness and species co-occurrence analysis did not support a unidirectional postglacial colonization from a Southern European refuge but colonization from both Southern and Eastern Europe.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1).
