Scientific literature lists 69 expanding first to Europe and later to the Americas. species of Lepidoptera feeding on soybean plants. These species are In Brazilian soils, the first crop was harvested in São representatives of the Superfamilies Noctuoidea (31), Pyraloidea Paulo in 1892 and produced only a few pounds of seed (13), Hesperioidea (12), Tortricoidea (5), Geometroidea (5), and Bombycoidea (3).

Usually, species-level identification is still However, several aspects have affected the appropriate done based exclusively on the morphology of adults management of this group of pests: 1) changes in (e.g. POGUE, 2002). The adult identification requires systematic positions and nomenclature (LAFONTAINE to rearing immature insects, which requires extensive & SCHMIDT, 2010); 2) changes detected in specific resources, especially skilled labor. In addition, compositions of lepidopteran communities associated with natural enemies and entomopathogens may affect the soybean (GUEDES et al., 2010; SOSA-GÓMEZ et al., development and survival of immature insects making 2010; MOSCARDI et al., 2012); and 3) recent detection difficult to obtain adults. Alternatively, some studies of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), which has economy has focused in species-level identification based on impact in this crop (CZEPAK et al., 2013; EMBRAPA, morphology of eggs, larvae, and pupae (e.g. PASSOA, 2013; SPECHT et al., 2013). This research is a review 1991; POGUE, 2002; ANGULO et al., 2008; GOMEZ- of reports of lepidoptera whose larvae were collected ROLIM et al., 2013). Another tool is the use of feeding on the soybean crop in Argentina, Brazil, Chile molecular markers (GOMEZ-ROLIM et al., 2013). In and Uruguay and also updates the systematic position and all options, the literature describing morphological or nomenclature of this taxonomic group. It is also discussed molecular characterization of lepidopterons associated recent changes in species composition and abundance to soybean does not include all species. These of the primary Lepidoptera associated with the crop, the deficiencies are evident in all countries, especially in changes in the management of soybean diseases, and the South America, which has biological mega-diversity introduction of H. armigera (Hübner) as a new crop pest. (e.g. MARQUES & LAMAS, 2006). Over 80% of the species whose larvae DEVELOPMENT have been reported feeding on soybean were recorded by the end of the 1970 decade (Tables 1-3), based on Lepidoptera associated with soybean crop. field collections and species-level identification (e.g. The bibliographic records indicate the A.O.

These researchers have found feeding on soybean. The most species (44.9%) maintained entomological collections in their institutions belong to Noctuoidea, followed by Pyraloidea which play an important role for several crops or for (18.8%), Hesperioidea (17.4%), Tortricoidea (7.3%), general entomology. Considering the great number of Geometroidea (7.3%), and Bombycoidea (4.3%). species reported in the early publications, the question Despite the relative diversity of species, remains if the diversity of Lepidoptera have decreased only a small number of studies have been devoted due to management, crop extensions, and insecticide to identifying insects, including Lepidoptera at a pressure (e.g. ALTIERI et al., 2005), or is a problem of species level (e.g. BIEZANKO et al., 1974; LINK lack of studies focused on species-level identification & TARRAGÓ, 1974; CORREIA & SMITH, 1976). (e.g. MARQUES & LAMAS, 2006). Generally, publications list A. gemmatalis, or the Anyway, the lack of taxonomists was representatives of complexes Plusiinae Spodoptera, directly related to the delay in the report of H. without species-level identification (e.g. MORAES et armigera in Brazil, which has affected high value al., 1991; CIVIDANES & YAMAMOTO, 2002). crops such as cotton and soybean (CZEPAK et al., Given the importance of identification 2013; EMBRAPA 2013; SPECHT et al., 2013).

Three experiments, using 150 larvae each, were conducted for the larval stage. In the first, used to assess the duration and survival of all stages, insects were reared individually and fed an artificial diet (Grenee). In the second, individuals were also reared separately, but were fed leaves of 10 plants from different families. In the third, the larvae were not individualised, the food plants were rotated such as to provide three plant species every 48 hours. In the first experiment, the viability of the eggs, larvae, pupae and prepupae was 91.9, 94.7, 32.49 and 43.5%, respectively. The average duration of the egg, larvae, prepupae, pupae and adult were 6.0, 25.3, 25.7, 21.4 and 12.7 days, respectively.

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

Dahmer3, Celso Omoto4 & Oderlei Bernardi1* Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the main pests of maize and cotton in Brazil and has increased its occurrence on soybean. Field‑evolved resistance of this species to Cry1 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins expressed in maize has been characterized in Brazil, Argentina, Puerto Rico and southeastern U.S. Here, we conducted studies to evaluate the survival and development of S. frugiperda strains that are susceptible, selected for resistance to Bt‑maize single (Cry1F) or pyramided (Cry1F/Cry1A.105/ Cry2Ab2) events and F­ 1 hybrids of the selected and susceptible strains (heterozygotes) on DAS‑ 444Ø6‑6 × DAS‑81419‑2 soybean with tolerance to 2,4‑d, glyphosate and ammonium glufosinate herbicides (event DAS‑444Ø6‑6) and insect‑resistant due to expression of Cry1Ac and Cry1F Bt proteins (event DAS‑81419‑2). Susceptible insects of S. frugiperda did not survive on Cry1Ac/Cry1F‑ soybean. However, homozygous‑resistant and heterozygous insects were able to survive and emerge as fertile adults when fed on Cry1Ac/Cry1F‑soybean, suggesting that the resistance is partially recessive. Life history studies revealed that homozygous‑resistant insects had similar development, reproductive performance, net reproductive rate, intrinsic and fnite rates of population increase on Cry1Ac/Cry1F‑soybean and non‑Bt soybean. In contrast, heterozygotes had their fertility life table parameters signifcantly reduced on Cry1Ac/Cry1F‑soybean.

  • 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.

Kons Jr. Last Update: June 2001 Abstract A systematic check list of 489 species of Lepidoptera collected in the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab is presented, including 464 species in the superfamilies Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, and Noctuoidea. Taxa recorded in Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, and Thyrididae are also included. Moth taxa were collected at ultraviolet lights, bait, introduced Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), and by netting specimens. A list of taxa recorded feeding on P. notatum is presented. Introduction The University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) contains 40 acres of natural habitats maintained for scientific research, conservation, and teaching purposes. Habitat types present include hammock, upland pine, disturbed open field, cat tail marsh, and shallow pond. An active management plan has been developed for this area, including prescribed burning to restore the upland pine community and establishment of plots to study succession (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/natl.htm). The site is a popular collecting locality for student and scientific collections. The author has done extensive collecting and field work at NATL, and two previous reports have resulted from this work, including: a biodiversity inventory of the butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea & Papilionoidea) of NATL (Kons 1999), and an ecological study of Hermeuptychia hermes (F.) and Megisto cymela (Cram.) in NATL habitats (Kons 1998). Other workers have posted NATL check lists for Ichneumonidae, Sphecidae, Tettigoniidae, and Gryllidae (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/insect.htm).
