SPITSYN* & GRIGORY S. POTAPOV Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received 29 December 2019 │ Accepted by V.

The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N). In this article, we present the first record of Spilarctia procedra from Laos (20° N) with a description of the new subspecies Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. We also report the first record of Spilarctia gopara from Myanmar. Key words: Oriental Region, tiger moths, new subspecies, Spilarctia punctata species group. Introduction The Spilarctia punctata species group contains 13 species, the range of which expands from India and South China to the Philippines and Bali (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Until recently, only 2 species were known from the north of Indochina, i.e. Spilarctia gopara (Moore, 1859) and S. ummera Swinhoe, 1889 (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Spilarctia procedra (Swinhoe, 1907) inhabits the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia (from Sumatra to Bali). The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N) (Černý & Pinratana 2009). However, we collected two individuals (male and female) of Spilarctia procedra from the north of Laos. The geographic distance between the new occurrence and the northern border of the species range is more than 1600 km. Our specimen from Laos has the male genitalia structure as the typical S. procedra, but the wings coloration is noticeably different from it. Based on these differences, we describe the northern specimens as a separate subspecies Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. Additionally, the first record of Spilarctia gopara for Myanmar is presented in this study. Material and Methods We studied the materials from the collections of the Russian Museum of Biodiversity Hotspots (RMBH), Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Preparations of the Ecologica Montenegrina, 27, 2020, 90-94 SPITSYN & POTAPOV genitalia were made according to the standard procedure. Abdomen was boiled in 8% КОН during 6 min. In the next stage, the genitalia were cleaned from abdominal segments with the help of two needles and placed into a drop of ethanol on a temporal slide. The aedeagus vesica was everted using an insulin syringe with ethanol. The genitalia are stored in microtubes in an ethanol-glycerin mixture. The images of the genitalia were taken with a research stereomicroscope (AXIO Zoom.V16, Carl Zeiss, Germany). The images of specimens were taken with a Canon EOS 80D camera (Canon Inc., Tokyo, Japan).

Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. differs from the nominative subspecies by the absence of a dashed line in the postdiscal area of the forewing, by converging spots at the costal margin and at the apex of the central cell, as well as by a more pronounced series of spots in the marginal part of the hindwings. Of the closely related species in the north of Indochina, it is known only two species, i.e. Spilarctia gopara (Moore, 1859) and S. ummera Swinhoe, 1889 (Fig. 1E-1F). S. procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. differs from S. gopara in the absence of a black field on the hindwing, as well as a small number of spots on the forewing (Fig. 1A-E). Additionally, S. procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. can be distinguished by very short branches on the inner side of the antenna (significantly less than half of the branches length on the outer side of the antenna). The branches on the inner side of the antenna of S. gopara are about half of the branches length on the outer side of the antenna. The male genitalia are very similar, however S. procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. differs from the other taxa by broader genitalia with broad valva, and it has differences in the structure of the juxta, the upper side of which does not have a concave center (Fig. 2A- B). S. procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. differs from S. ummera by the presence of spots in the marginal part of the hindwing, as well as in the specific structure of the male genitalia (valva of S. ummera are expanded in the apical part, while valva of S. procedra oudomsayensis ssp.nov. does not have such an extension) (Fig. 1A-D, F, 2A, C). The male genitalia and the external morphology of the nominative subspecies of S. procedra are illustrated by Dubatolov (2006). Figure 2.

Merr) is reported for the first time. Larvae of this species were found consuming soybean leaves in soybean fields in Córdoba province, Argentina, and were able to complete their life cycle. Characteristics of adults and larvae are provided for rapid identification in the field. Due to the widespread distribution of this species within the region where soybean is more intensively cultivated in South America, we conclude that D. sacrifica is a potential soybean pest. Further studies on infestation frequency, damage levels and control by natural enemies are needed. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiidae, Dysschema sacrifica , soybean, pest, Argentina.

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Spilarctia robusta (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) was se- quenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenome is made up of 15,447 base pairs (bp). It contains a set of 37 genes, with the gene complement and order similar to that of other lepidopterans. The 12 protein coding genes (PCGs) have a typical mitochondrial start codon (ATN codons), whereas cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene utilizes unusually the CAG codon as documented for other lepidopteran mitogenomes. Four of the 13 PCGs have incomplete termination codons, the cox1, nad4 and nad6 with a single T, but cox2 has TA. It comprises six major intergenic spacers, with the exception of the A+T-rich region, spanning at least 10 bp in the mitogenome.

Bacillus sphaericus R3 showed considerably high larvicidal activity (81.75% mortality) after treatment (1-7 days) over control (7.0%) against Spilarctia obliqua wlk. Dose mortality suggested that feeding of Spilarctia obliqua wlk on treated leaves with variable spore population (106 – 1011 CFU mL-1) of Bacillus sphaericus R3 was more effective after 7 days. 4 The toxicity in terms of lethal spore population per ml (LC50) of Bacillus sphaericus R3 was found to be 5.72 x 10 6 -1 -1 & 3.10 x 10 spores mL , respectively after 3 and 7 days of feeding. Based on the LC50 (spores mL ) values for the strain it is concluded that Bacillus sphaericus R3 has potential to be used as an effective biocontrol agent (biological component of IPM) against Spilarctia obliqua wlk.

    Sivakumar et al. Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control (2020) 30:82 Egyptian Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s41938-020-00282-5 Biological Pest Control RESEARCH Open Access Characterization and field evaluation of tetrahedral and triangular nucleopolyhedrovirus of Spilosoma obliqua (SpobNPV) strain NBAIR1 against jute hairy caterpillar G. Sivakumar1*, M. Kannan2, V. Ramesh Babu3, M. Mohan1, Surabhi Kumari1, R. Rangeshwaran1, T. Venkatesan1 and Chandish R. Ballal1 Abstract Jute hairy caterpillar, Spilosoma (=Spilarctia) obliqua (Walker) (Arctiidae: Lepidoptera), is an irregular and polyphagous insect pest that occurs all over India. A severe natural viral epizootic was observed in the field population of S. obliqua in jute. The virus was characterized as Spilosoma obliqua nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpobNPV NBAIR1) based on morphological, biological, and molecular characterization. Under scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), the occlusion bodies (OBs) of SpobNPV NBAIR1 appeared as both tetrahedral and triangular with the size ranged from 1.04-1.72 μm. The results on the bioassay studies revealed that the lowest 2 LC50 value of 2.93 OBs/mm by leaf disc bioassay against the second instar S. obliqua showed its high virulence. The identity of SpobNPV was further confirmed by the amplification of polyhedrin gene (NCBI GenBank accession no. MK288145). Eleven species of lepidopteran insects, viz., Spodoptera litura, S. exigua, S. frugiperda, Helicoverpa armigera, Plutella xylostella, Amsacta albistriga, Maruca vitrata, Trichoplusia ni, Pieris brassicae, Agrotis ipsilon, and Bombyx mori, were not susceptible to the infection with SpobNPV NBAIR1. Field experiments on jute crop revealed 68.92, 78.59, and 93.16% reduction in larval population of S.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 18, 2014; Revised received: October 01, 2014.; Accepted: November 13, 2014 Abstract: Effect of six constant temperatures viz., 18±1, 21±1, 24±1, 27±1, 30±1 and 33±1oC was studied on the egg hatchability, larval pupal development and adult survival of Spilarctia obliqua. Development rate of egg, larva and pupa gradually increased with increase in temperature, while total developmental period decreased. Mean developmental period of the pest decreased from 93.73 days at 18±10C to 31.20 at 33±1OC. The lowest and the highest temperatures at which no development took place were found to be 12±1ºC and 39±1oC, respectively. Regression equations between development rate and temperature were found to be Y= 0.0189X-0.1998 (R2=0.88) for egg, Y=0.00122X-0.0248 (R2=0.84) for small larva (1-3rd instar), Y=0.0058X- 0.0675 (R2=0.76) for large larva (4-6th instar), Y=0.0074X-0.1075 (R2=0.94) for pupa and Y=0.0142X-0.4363 (R2=0.79) for adults.

On the basis of preliminary bio efficacy trials on all Department of Entomology, local isolates, two most virulent isolates of each Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhizium anisopliae and Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Nomuraea rileyi were selected for bio efficacy studies against S. obliqua. The results on dose mortality Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India response of S. obliqua to two isolates of B. bassiana indicated that the LC50 values of first isolate were lower than the second isolate indicating that isolate 1 as more virulent. Similarly the first isolate of M. Renu Pandey anisopliae was found to be more virulent to S. obliqua with a lower LC50 value, Relative LC50 values Department of Entomology, between two isolates showed that second isolate was 17.8, 50 and 4.1 times more virulent than the first Govind Ballabh Pant University isolate for 4-5, 10-11 and 15-16 days old larvae. Isolate 1 of N. rileyi was more effective with lower LC50 of Agriculture and Technology, values.
