Checklist of Blattodea from Maharashtra State in India
Environment Conservation Journal, 20 (3):39-48, 2019 ISSN 0972-3099 (Print) 2278-5124 (Online) DOI: https://doi.org/10.36953/ECJ.2019.20306 https://www.environcj.in/ Checklist of Blattodea from Maharashtra State in India Prabakaran, S.¹, Senraj. M.², Packiam, S. M.³ and Jaiswal, Deepa 4 Received: 11.03.2019 Revised: 26.04.2019 Accepted: 10.07.2019 Abstract An annotated checklist of the Blattids of Maharashtra state is prepared based on the available literature and online database resources. Earlier studies has been made by (Jadhav and Sharma, 2012) listed that 12 species of Blattids from this state, in the present situation an updated checklist has been made to the Blattodea fauna includes 32 species comprises 4 family comes under 23 genera. Globally the Blattodea contains a total of 7570 species are recognized, of which 4641 species are cockroaches and 2929 species are termites has been listed (Krishna et.al., 2013). This 4641 species are accommodated under 492 genera belonging to 8 families. Among this, 170 species under 65 genera belonging to 5 families, so far reported from India (Prabakaran and Senraj 2018) (Excluding Epifamily: Termitoidae).The classification followed here as after Beccaloni & Eggleton 2013. Key Words: Blattids, termites, cockroach, fauna Introduction Cockroaches are an ancient and highly successful food chain, cockroaches also play an extremely form of insect life; they were among the group of important role in nutrient cycling. A majority of arthropod insects that evolved during the first great cockroaches are detritus feeders and having radiation of insects. The primitive or ancestors endogenous cellulose play an important role in cockroaches have been existence for about 350 degrading plant material (Bignell and Eggleton, million years or since early carboniferous periods. -

Brown Title of Study: Analysis of morphology and fauna of Geometrinae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) of the Caribbean region Pages in Study: 168 Candidate for Degree of Master of Science The Geometrinae, commonly known as emerald moths, are a diverse group of Lepidoptera with over 450 Neotropical species. However, Caribbean Geometrinae have received relatively little attention compared to the Geometrinae of mainland Central and South America. Using the method of Lee and Brown (2006), whole body mounts of descaled specimens of both Caribbean and mainland Neotropical Geometrinae were prepared. Morphological variation of exo- and endoskeletal characters among species, genera, and tribes of Neotropical Geometrinae is described. A faunistic study of Caribbean Geometrinae was also conducted using material from museums and private collections. -
Pyraloidea Lepidoptera)
Belgian Journal ofEntomology 4 (2002) : 53-95 Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the subfamilies of Crambidae (Pyraloidea Lepidoptera) by M. Alma Sous1 & K. V. N. MAEs2 1 Systematic Entomology Laboratory, ARS, USDA, c/o National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]). 2 AgroBioSys Intl., Kleine Smetledestraat 192, B-9230 Wetteren, Belgium. Present address: National Museums of Kenya, Department of Invertebrate Zoology, P.O. Box 40658,00100 Nairobi, Kenya (e-mail: [email protected]). Correspondence: M. Alma Sous, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, PSI, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, c/o National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560-0168, U.S.A. Abstract The phylogenetic relationships among 17 subfamilies of Crambidae are investigated using adult characters and parsimony. The morphological evidence on subfamilies of Crambidae is reviewed, and the validity of morphological characters traditionally used to define taxa and determine relationships are reviewed and discussed. Three new genital characters are utilized in the analysis. The results indicate monophyly of one group of subfamilies, herein called the pyraustine group. The spilomeline group of subfamilies is basal and paraphyletic to the better-supported pyraustine group. Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae, two subfamilies historically believed to be closely related, are widely separated. Evidence suggests Pyraustinae, Odontiinae, Evergestinae, and Glaphyriinae are paraphyletic with respect to each other, and upon further study at lower taxonomic levels should be redefined as one subfamily. Results do not support a close relationship between Dichogaminae and Glaphyriinae. Keywords: adult morphology, Pyraloidea, Pyralidae, Spilomelinae, Pyraustinae. Introduction The Pyraloidea, with over 16,000 described species and at least as many undescribed species, is one of the largest superfamilies of Lepidoptera. -
