STADfANA AND A REVISED IDENTITY FOR A SEMfANNULA (LEPIDOPTERA: TORTRICIDAEl 2 Michael Sabourin 1, Ronald J. Priest f and William E. Miller3 ABSTRACT Type study showed that Acleris stadiana (Barnes & Busck), currently considered a junior synonym ofA. semiannula (Robinson), is in fact a distinct taxon. Although superficially similar, these taxa differ markedly in genital structure. In males ofA. semiannula, the aedeagus is short, broad, and virtu­ ally straight, whereas in those of A. stadiana, it is long, thin, and sharply bent. What was known in literature as A. semiannula proved to be A. stadi­ ana. We redefine both A. semiannula and the resurrected A. stadiana. Several years ago, abundant caterpillars were discovered feeding on the leaves of mature red eAcer rubrum L.) and silver maple CA. saccharinum L.) growing on a golf course and around residences in Isabella Co., Michigan. Reared adults were identified as Acleris sp. These adults superficially re­ sembled what was known at the time as A. semiannula (Robinson), but their genitalia differed. Our efforts to identify the species led to the findings re­ ported here. Acleris stadiana (Barnes & Busck) has been considered a junior synonym ofA. semiannula since these taxa were synonymized by McDunnough (1934). Their types were not dissected for genitalia study until now, however. We in­ vestigated the pertinent types, comparing them with the Michigan specimens reared from maple, and with what was known in literature as A. semiannula.

Of the former, we might mention the splendid varieties of Cercis, with their purple flowers, the Acacias, with their airy foliage and silky stamens, the Pride of India, Colutea, and Cæsalpina, with a host of others, which, like the Sweet Pea, are redolent with perfume. Of the latter, the beans, peas, lentils, clover, and lucerne, are too well known to require recommendation. Among timber trees, the Rosewood (a Brazilian species of Mimosa), the Laburnum, whose wood is durable and of an olive-green color, and the Locust of our own country are preëminent. The following are a few important officinal products of this order. In medicine; liquorice is the product of the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra of S. Europe. The purgative senna consists of leaves of Cassia Senna, C. acutifolia, C. Æthiopica, and other species of Egypt and Arabia. C. Marilandica is also a cathartic, but more mild than the former. The sweet pulp tamarind, is the product of a large and beautiful tree (Tamarindus Indica) of the E. and W. Indies. Resins and Balsams: Gum Senegal is yielded by Acacia Verek of the River Senegal; Gum Arabic, by several species of Acacia of Central Africa; Gum Tragacynth, by Astragalus verus, &c., Persia.

Forewing pattern elements of moths in the family Tortricidae are discussed and characterized. An historical review of the terminology is provided. A new system of nam- ing pattern elements is proposed. Key words. Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, forewing pattern, analysis, terminology. Józef RAZOWSKI, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, S³awkowska 17, 31-016 Kraków, Poland. E-mail: razowski.isez.pan.krakow.pl I. INTRODUCTION Early tortricid workers such as HAWORTH (1811), HERRICH-SCHHÄFFER (1856), and others pre- sented the first terminology for forewing pattern elements in their descriptions of new species. Nearly a century later, SÜFFERT (1929) provided a more eclectic discussion of pattern elements for Lepidoptera in general. In recent decades, the common and repeated use of specific terms in de- scriptions and illustrations by FALKOVITSH (1966), DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968), and oth- ers reinforced these terms in Tortricidae. BRADLEY et al. (1973) summarized and commented on all the English terms used to describe forewing pattern elements. DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968) and KUZNETZOV (1978) analyzed tortricid pattern elements, primarily Olethreutinae, dem- onstrating the taxonomic significance of the costal strigulae in that subfamily. For practical pur- poses they numbered the strigulae from the forewing apex to the base, where the strigulae often become indistinct. KUZNETZOV (1978) named the following forewing elements in Tortricinae: ba- sal fascia, subterminal fascia, outer fascia (comprised of subapical blotch and outer blotch), apical spot, and marginal line situated in the marginal fascia (a component of the ground colour).

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve

    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve

    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

    EENY608 Io Moth Automeris io (Fabricius) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)1 Donald W. Hall2 Introduction The beautiful Io moth, Automeris io (Fabricius), is one of our most recognizable moths. It is distinctive because of its prominent hind wing eyespots. The Io moth, like many of the other saturniid moths, is less common now in parts of its range. With the exception of Cape Cod and some of the Massachusetts islands, it is now rare in New England where it was once common, and its populations have declined in the Gulf States (with the exception of Louisiana) since the 1970s (Manley 1993). The attractive Io moth caterpillar is also well-known because of its painful sting. Figure 1. Male Io moth, Automeris io (Fabricius). Automeris is a large genus with about 145 species (Heppner Credits: Donald W. Hall, University of Florida 1996). All Automeris species are characterized by large eyespots in the middle of the hind wings. Most species Synonymy are found in Central and South America. There are seven Fabricius (1775, p.560) described the Io moth and named species in the United States. Five of these, Automeris it Bombyx io. Abbott and Smith (1797, p.97) published zephyria Grote (New Mexico and western Texas), Automeris the first account of the Io moth’s life cycle under the cecrops (Boisduval), Automeris iris (Walker), Automeris name Phalaena io. Some early references used the genus patagoniensis Lemaire, and Automeris randa Druce name Hyperchiria (e.g., Eliot & Soule 1902, Lintner 1872, (southeastern Arizona) are found only in the western U.S. Stratton-Porter 1921, Strecker 1872).

The discovery by Leraut (2003) of the existence of a species closely related to Acleris emargana (Fabricius, 1775) is confirmed. It is shown that this was already known to lepidopterists in the first half of the 19th century, but like many Acleris names later regarded as only a form, the name Acleris effractana (Hübner, 1799) is the oldest name for the species. A neotype for A. effractana is designated. A. effractana is shown to have a Holarctic distribution, with occurrence only in the northern part of Europe.

    RESEARCH Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) Frequently Cited Erroneously in the Entomological Literature John W. Brown Abstract. The scientific names of several pest species in the moth meate the literature. For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature. Most misuse stems from the for many years following Obraztsov’s (1959) treatment of the group. fact that many proposed name changes appear in systematic treat- They even appear at both taxonomic levels (i.e., Olethreutinae and ments that are not seen by most members of the general entomologi- Olethreutidae) in different papers in the same issue of the Canadian cal community. Also, there is resistance among some entomologists Entomologist in the 1980s!

The Palaearctic genus Acompsia is revised and two subgenera are considered: Acompsia Hübner, 1825 and Telephila Meyrick, 1923. Altogether 17 species are dealt with in detail and genitalia and adults are figured. 7 new species are described: Acompsia (A.) pyrenaella sp. n. (Spain: Pyrenees), A. (A.) ponomarenkoae sp. n. (Albania, Greece), A. (A.) schepleri sp. n. (Turkey), A. (A.) fibigeri sp. n. (Turkey), A. (A.) bidzilyai sp. n. (Russia: Transbaikalia), A. (A.) caucasella sp. n. (Russia: Caucasus) and A. (T.) syriella sp. n. (Syria). Lectotypes for A. maculosella (Stainton, 1851), A. dimorpha Petry, 1904 and A. minorella (Rebel, 1899) and a neotype for A thpunctella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) are designated.
