    NAT. HIST. BULL SIAM Soc. 35: 1-17, 1987 BIOLOGICAL AND TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON IMMATURE AND ADULT FRUIT-PIERCING MOTHS IN NEPAL, WITH REFERENCE TO THAILAND Hans Biinziger* ABSTRACT Twenty-four species of fruit-piercing moths not previously reported in Nepal were found near Kathmandu. Adults pierced peach, plum and wild fruit; the damage inflicted is discussed. Most common were Oraesia rectistria Guenee, Adris tyrdnnus (Guenee), and Ad. okurai Okano which is shown to be a senior synonym of Ad. suthep­ ensis Blinziger & Honey. Until recently considered a rare moth, the immatures of this species are described for the first time, as are. the adult's feeding habits. The larval host plant was Holboellia latijolia Wallich (Lardizabalaceae), a family not present in Thailand and Malaysia where the moth also occurs. Three species of Berberidaceae and 11 of Menispermaceae w_ere tested as foqd and rejected, although these seem to be the only possible alternative larval host plants in Thailand. Many of these were accepted by the related Ad. tyrannus and Othreis spp. Ot. fullonia (Clerck), a most noxious fruit-piercer in Thailand and other mainly tropical lowland areas, was scarce in Nepal; the inconsistency of larval food preference of this and· of Ad. okurai is discussed. INTRODUCTION No published report seems to exist about fruit-piercing by adult moths in Nepal. The nearest observations are from India (SUSAINATHAN, 1924; SONTAKAI, 1944; RAMAKRISHNA AYYAR, 1944) where at least 14 species have been reported to be asso­ ciated with fruit. RAMAKRISHNA AYYAR, however, pointed out that it is not clear if all these species are actually fruit-piercers, and what type of damage they cause.

  • Modularity of a Leaf Moth-Wing Pattern and a Versatile Characteristic of the Wing-Pattern Ground Plan Takao K Suzuki1,2
    Suzuki BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:158 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/158 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Modularity of a leaf moth-wing pattern and a versatile characteristic of the wing-pattern ground plan Takao K Suzuki1,2 Abstract Background: One of the most intriguing questions in evolutionary developmental biology is how an insect acquires a mimicry pattern within its body parts. A striking example of pattern mimicry is found in the pattern diversity of moth and butterfly wings, which is thought to evolve from preexisting elements illustrated by the nymphalid ground plan (NGP). Previous studies demonstrated that individuality of the NGP facilitates the decoupling of associated common elements, leading to divergence. In contrast, recent studies on the concept of modularity have argued the importance of a combination of coupling and decoupling of the constituent elements. Here, we examine the modularity of a mimicry wing pattern in a moth and explore an evolvable characteristic of the NGP. Results: This study examined the wings of the noctuid moth Oraesia excavata, which closely resemble leaves with a leaf venation pattern. Based on a comparative morphological procedure, we found that this leaf pattern was formed by the NGP common elements. Using geometric morphometrics combined with network analysis, we found that each of the modules in the leaf pattern integrates the constituent components of the leaf venation pattern (i.e., the main and lateral veins). Moreover, the detected modules were established by coupling different common elements and decoupling even a single element into different modules. The modules of the O. excavata wing pattern were associated with leaf mimicry, not with the individuality of the NGP common elements.

  • Electroantennographic Responses and Field Attraction to Peach Fruit Odors
    Appl. Entomol. Zool. 43 (2): 265–269 (2008) http://odokon.org/ Electroantennographic responses and field attraction to peach fruit odors in the fruit-piercing moth, Oraesia excavata (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Ruilin TIAN,1 Yohei IZUMI,1 Shoji SONODA,1 Hideya YOSHIDA,1 Takuma TAKANASHI,2 Kiyoshi NAKAMUTA2 and Hisaaki TSUMUKI1,* 1 Research Institute for Bioresources, Okayama University; Kurashiki 710–0046, Japan 2 Department of Forest Entomology, Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute; Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–8687, Japan (Received 23 August 2007; Accepted 25 December 2007) Abstract The olfactory responses of adult males and females of the fruit-piercing moth, Oraesia excavata, to lactones as spe- cific components among ripe peach fruit odors were recorded by electroantennogram (EAG) techniques and trap cap- tures in the field. Six lactones (g-hexalactone, g-octalactone, d-octalactone, g-decalactone, d-decalactone and g- dodecalactone) and a green leaf volatile compound (cis-3-hexen-1-ol) as the reference compound for normalization were used to measure EAG responses. The EAG response to g-hexalactone, shown to be the highest among the six lactones tested, did not reach as high as that to a mixture of five lactones when 10% concentrations (v/v) of the lac- tones were used. There was no significant difference between males and females in EAG responses to those com- pounds. In the field experiment, the number of moths captured by traps baited with a mixture of the five lactones (g- hexalactone, g-octalactone, g-decalactone, d-decalactone and g-dodecalactoneϭ142 : 7 : 145 : 70 : 28, v/v) was about half that captured with ripe peach fruit; however, the moths were not captured by traps with individual lactones.
