Supposedly they were either erroneously determinated or incorrect noted from the region under consideration since Eversmann 's work. 289 species are recorded from the re­ gion in addition to Eversmann 's list. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the pres­ ent-day fauna of noctuid-moths in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This re­ gion comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bash­ kiria. As was accepted in the first part of this series, only material reliably labelled, and cover­ ing the last 20 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V.

The pest is known to feed primarily on maize which is a staple food in the continent. Since then, farmers have been using chemical insecticides to control the pest. Chemical insecticides are expensive and harmful to the environment. In this article, the authors Albasini Caniço, António Mexia, and Luisa Santos discuss the possibility of application of an alternative method of control known to be environmentally friendly and economically sustainable in the long term. The method, known as “biological control”, can be easily implemented by farmers, and has the potential to reduce the population of the insect pest and production costs, and bring long term benefits to the environment.

This study describes how several insect species are used, which often follows a series of processes from collecting to consumption and the quite diversified insect utilization based on various skills and knowledge in ethnoento­ mology. Even though insects are not an important subsistence resource, the San have an extensive knowledge and make good use of insects. The insects even spice up the San daily life. Key words: insects, ethnoentomology, diversified utilization, food, material, children's play INTRODUCTION The San are known to use many kinds of natural resources and possess great knowledge of nature (Lee, 1979; Tanaka, 1980; Silberbauer, 1981). The principle objectives of San studies have focused on the hunting and gathering subsistence system. Although these studies detailed the uses of various resources, little atten­ tion has been paid to the uses of marginal resources, which I believe are essential in discussing the San's deep and broad knowledge of nature. This paper will describe their extensive knowledge of insects. Through my research, I found that the San are usually in contact with insects in their daily lives and interact with them in various ways.

Five noctuid species are recorded from Europe for the first time: Eublemma conistrota Hampson, 1910, Eiiblemma deserti Rothschild, 1909, Anumeta hilgerti (Rothschild 1909), Hadiila deserticula (Hampson 1905), and Eiixoa canariensis Rebel, 1902. New synonyms are stated: Leptosia velocissima f. tarda Turati, 1926, syn. n. and Leptosia griseimargo Warren, 1912, syn. n., both synonyms of Metachrostis velox (Hübner, 1813); and Pseudohadena (Eremohadena) roseonitens espugnensis Lajonquiere, 1964, syn. n., a synonym of P. (E.) roseonitens roseonitens (Oberthür, 1887). A new subspecies of Xylena exsoleta (Linneaus, 1758), Xylena exsoleta maltensis ssp. n., is established. The literature on Maltese Noctuoidea is reviewed and erronuousely reported species are indicated.

  • Summer Butterflies in Dinosaur National Monument
    VOLUME 37, NUMBER 1 91 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 37(1), 1983, 91 SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS AS FOOD PLANTS FOR LEPIDOPTERA IN EAST AFRICA Dr. 1. F. B. Common's paper, "Some factors responsible for imbalances in the Aus­ tralian fauna of Lepidoptera" (1981, J. Lepid. Soc. 34:286-294), and his remarks on the role of Eucalyptus as a lepidopterous food plant suggest that a list of the Lepidoptera feeding on the introduced Eucalyptus spp. in East Africa might be of interest. Various species of Eucalyptus are grown in many parts of East Africa, primarily as sources of firewood but also as useful agents in the reclamation of swampy land. E. citriodora is grown as a plantation crop in Zaire and elsewhere for its oil, used in the perfumery trade.

  • Lepidoptera Fauna of Namibia. I. Seasonal Distribution of Moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, Northern Namibia
    FRAGMENTA FAUNISTICA 57 (2): 117–129, 2014 PL ISSN 0015-9301 © MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY PAS DOI 10.3161/00159301FF2014.57.2.117 Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia. I. Seasonal distribution of moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, northern Namibia Grzegorz KOPIJ Department of Wildlife Management, University of Namibia, Katima Mulilio Campus, Private Bag 1096, Katima Mulilo, Namibia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the years 2011–2013, moths were collected in Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in the Cuvelai Drainage System, Ovamboland, northern Namibia. In total, 77 species from 13 families have been identified. Their seasonal occurrence in this habitat was also investigated, with most species recorded in wet season between September and April, but with clear peak in February and March. The family Noctuidae was by far the most speciose (38 recorded species), followed by Crambidae (8 spp.), Sphingidae (6 spp.) and Arctiidae (4 spp.). All other families were represented by 1–3 species. For each species listed date of collection is given, and data on its global distribution. Key words: Lepidoptera, check-list, biodiversity, distribution, moths, Ovamboland INTRODUCTION According to recent quite precise estimate, there are 15 5181 species, 16 650 genera and 121 families of Lepidoptera worldwide (Pouge 2009). Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia has recently attracted attention of European entomologists. However, thorough surveys were conducted hitherto in a few areas only, such as Brandberg and Hobatere. The northern regions of the country were especially badly neglected. In southern Africa (south of Zambezi and Kunene Rivers) – 8 511 species, 2 368 genera and 89 families were recently catalogued (Vári et al.

  • Trophobiosis Between Formicidae and Hemiptera (Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha): an Overview

As principais características dos ‘Homoptera’ e dos Formicidae que favorecem as interações trofobióticas, tais como a excreção de honeydew por insetos sugadores, atendimento por formigas e necessidades fisiológicas dos dois grupos de insetos, são discutidas. Aspectos da sua evolução convergente são apresenta- dos. O sistema mais arcaico não é exatamente trofobiótico, as forrageadoras coletam o honeydew despejado ao acaso na folhagem por indivíduos ou grupos de ‘Homoptera’ não associados. As relações trofobióticas mais comuns são facultativas, no entanto, esta forma de mutualismo é extremamente diversificada e é responsável por numerosas adaptações fisiológicas, morfológicas ou comportamentais entre os ‘Homoptera’, em particular Sternorrhyncha. As trofobioses mais diferenciadas são verdadeiras simbioses onde as adaptações mais extremas são observadas do lado dos ‘Homoptera’. Ao mesmo tempo, as formigas mostram adaptações comportamentais que resultam de um longo período de coevolução. Considerando-se os inse- tos sugadores como principais pragas dos cultivos em nível mundial, as implicações das rela- ções trofobióticas são discutidas no contexto das comunidades de insetos em geral, focalizan- do os problemas que geram em Manejo Integrado de Pragas (MIP), em particular.

  • "Posterior Notal Wing Process" of the Forewing in the Family Noctuidae and Its Importance for Taxonomy (Insecta, Lepidoptera)
    ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Q u a d r i f i n a Band 3 303-323 31. Mai 2000 [ The modification of the "posterior notal wing process" of the forewing in the family Noctuidae and its importance for taxonomy (Insecta, Lepidoptera) M. Lödl Abstract A comparative morphological study of the wing base sclerites in the family Noctuidae resulted in recognizing remarkable differences in the posterior notal wing process. The morphology of the wing base and its sclerites was investigated with representatives of the Noctuidae subfamilies Calpinae, Catocalinae, Cocytiinae, Hypeninae, Herminiinae and Plusiinae using light microscopic methods. The composition of the complex system of notal processes, axillary sclerites and median plates was investigated briefly. Particular attention was paid to the morphological differences in the posterior notal wing process which tumed out to be of taxonomic importance on specific as well as on higher taxonomic level. Taxonomic important features are found particularly in the lateral branch of the posterior notal wing process, its proportion within the central membrane and the proportion of the basal plate with its bending cuticle on the base of the posterior notal wing process. The variability of the posterior notal wing process is illustrated. A first step is made into the morphometric analysis of taxonmoic valuable and morphologically stable characters on the posterior notal wing process. Zusammenfassung Die vergleichende Morphologie der Flügcibascn und ihrer Sklcritc innerhalb der Familie Noctuidae ergibt merkbare Unterschiede besonders in der Ausgestaltung des "posterior notal wing process" Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Flügelbasen mit ihren Skleriten innerhalb der Familie Noctuidae anhand von Arten der Unterfamilien Calpinae, Catocalinae, Cocytiinae, Hypeninae, Herminiinae und Plusiinae.
