Lindsey: Iowa Microlepidoptera IOWA MICROLEPIDOPTERA A. W. LINDSEY After writing my last paper on the Lepidoptera of Iowa, viz., "Some Iowa Records of Lepidoptera," I still had in my posses sion a considerable number of specimens of Tineoidea and all of the Phycitinae which I had taken in the state. I attempted to work up this material during my last few months as curator of the Barnes collection at Decatur, Illinois, and succeeded with most of the Tineoidea. The subfamily Phycitinse of the Pyra- lidai is in such great need of careful revision that I feel safer in omitting it entirely at present, though I have identified a few species with a reasonable degree of certainty. Since returning to Iowa I have done a small amount of field work in the vicinity of Sioux City with very interesting results. I hope to add such observations as I am able to make in the spring of 1922, and possibly the summer, to complete the ma terial for a supplementary paper, and therefore limit the present list to the records of Tineoidea. My good friend, Mr. R. A. Leussler, of Omaha, Nebraska, communicates to me from time to time some very remarkable captures made near that city. Is there no person in the adjacent portion of our own state who takes an interest in this order of insects? The field must be fertile, and careful collecting should add many species to our known fauna. My list of species is as follows : Cosmopterygidae 1. Psacaphora terminella West. Iowa City, one, June 3, 1917. 2. Mompha eloisella Clem. Sioux City, July. Gelechiidae 3. Metzneria lappella Linn. Sioux City, one, July 17, 1917. 4. Aristotelia roseosuffusella Clem.

Tortricidae 156 References 169 Note 172 Abstract: This paper deals with all Lepidoptera, excluding the non-crambine Pyralidae, of Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes and Snares Is. The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Tree Fruit Leafrollers
    Tree Fruit Leafrollers March, 2016 Several species of leafroller attack pome and soft fruit throughout the Southern Interior and South Coastal regions of B.C. The main leafroller pests include single-generation species (fruittree leafroller (FTLR) and European leafroller (ELR) and two-generation species (obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR) and threelined leafroller (TLLR). The distribution and abundance of these leafrollers varies from region to region and within regions, so it is important to know which species are present in your area. Fruittree leafroller larva Adult Leafroller moth Prevention To reduce immigration of leafroller moths and larvae into your orchard, spray or remove all nearby host fruit trees. An area-wide control program is the most effective way to reduce movement of leafroller moths and larvae between orchards. Cherry trees left unsprayed after harvest and adjacent to pome fruit blocks are a source of summer-generation larvae, especially TLLR. Wild non-fruit host plants are not as great a threat as unmanaged fruit tree hosts. Thinning fruit to singles where practical will greatly reduce the risk of fruit damage. Fruittree and European Leafrollers (Archips argyrospilus, Archips rosanus) Hosts Fruit trees, berry crops, native and ornamental trees and shrubs including hawthorn, poplar, willow, rose, locust, English walnut and box elder. Damage Buds - Small entry holes in buds, chewed petals and flower parts. Blossoms - Petals webbed together, often remaining attached through petal-fall; inner flower parts eaten. Fruittree leafroller feeding damage on apple Leaves - Chewed, rolled and tied together with silk. fruitlet Fruit - Deep irregular holes in small fruit resulting in large russeted scars in mature fruit.

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

  • Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura Rosaceana and Pandemis Pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
    BEHAVIOR Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura rosaceana and Pandemis pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) 1 2 3 TOMISLAV CURKOVIC, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND PETER J. LANDOLT Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(3): 617Ð624 (2006) ABSTRACT The characterization of courtship behavior in two sympatric and synchronic leafroller species, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) and Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott, indicated that only pher- omone permeated airßow was needed as a releaser to initiate the male mating sequence. Mating ethograms demonstrate that males of both species perform six observable, discrete, and homogeneous steps: 1) wing fanning; 2) Þrst contact; 3) male next to female (mostly in C. rosaceana), head-to-head (only P. pyrusana); 4) curled abdomen; 5) genitalia engagement; and 6) end-to-end position (mating). The sequences were highly stereotypic, suggesting that once a male starts the mating sequence, the rest of the steps will most likely follow. First contact with the female was a preprogrammed response, not requiring further cues. Copulation was more likely when the female remained stationary after Þrst contact. Unsuccessful mating sequences were frequent during the study because females escaped by walking away, turning around, or jumping away. Because courtship behavior is a mechanism to select sexual partners, it is possible to hypothesize that responses resulting in an unsuccessful mating (assumed to be rejection) validate this mechanism. The mating sequence of C. rosaceana best matches the simple courtship behavior model, whereas the sequence in P. pyrusana resembles an interactive courtship. Overall results indicate that courtship behavior in both species would be compatible with attracticide (i.e., sex pheromone ϩ insecticide) technology that requires direct contact between males and the pheromone source.
