  • 197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
    SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow.

    Esperiana Band 19: 263-296 Bad Staffelstein; 26. November 2014 ISBN 978-3-938249-06-2 Collection records of Noctuoidea and Bombycoidea (Lepidoptera) from a Location near Marmaris in South-Western Anatolia, Turkey Thomas BARON Key Words: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Western Anatolia, Turkey Stichworte: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Westanatolien, Türkei Deutsche Zusammenfassung Der Artikel fasst die Fangergebnisse des Autors in Turunç zusammen, einem kleinen Urlaubsort am Mittelmeer nahe Mar- maris in der Südwesttürkei. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind die taxonomischen Gruppen Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Drepanoidea und Axioidea. Die Fänge erfolgten überwiegend am Licht. Diese Region der Türkei ist trotz leichter Erreichbarkeit erstaunlich schlecht erforscht. Es gibt für die Provinz Mugla bisher fast keine Daten für Nachtfalterfänge. Die Untersuchung fand über alle Jahreszeiten und an insgesamt 456 Tagen statt. Es wurde anhand der insgesamt über 4400 registrierten Individuen eine grobe Klassifizierung der Häufigkeit vorgenommen. Insgesamt konnten 168 Arten festgestellt werden. Die Zahl von Arten, die trotz derart langer Anstrengungen nur einmal festgestellt wurden, ist mit 25 relativ hoch. Es daher zu erwarten, dass einige weitere hier nicht aufgeführte Arten vorkommen. Für eine Reihe der festgestellten Spezies existieren bisher nur wenige Nachweise aus der Türkei. Eine Art ist neu für das Land. Weiterhin kann bei einigen nahverwandten Arten ein Beitrag zur Klärung von Verbreitungsgrenzen geleistet werden, die z.T. gerade in Kleinasien unklar sind. Durch das vor allem in Sommer extrem heisse und trockene Klima und den milden Winter fliegen einige Arten früher als bekannt. Viele hingegen fliegen später in den Herbst und Winter hinein, so dass eine ganze Reihe von in der Literatur nicht bekannten Flugzeiten aufgezeigt werden kann.

Thysanoplusia daubei can be distinguished by the dark greenish ground color of the forewings with a whitish, deeply indented antemedial line, a light grayish discal dot and a blackish ground termen on the hindwing. Conistra nawae can be distinguished by the dark ochreous forewing with dark reddish dentate antemedial and slanted postmedial line and blackish hindwing with ochreous fringe. Nyctycia hoenei can be distinguished by its dark greenish forewing with a large ochreous renal dot on the central fascia and the blackish undulating postmedial line and light blackish hindwing. Adults and genitalia are illustrated and briefly described with their biological and distributional notes.

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.
