Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga. -

M. tomentosa is very common in Caatinga areas and blooms year-round with two flowering peaks, one in the wet and another in the dry period. The pink, bright-colored flowers are distylous and both morphs are homogamous. The trichomatic nectary is located on the inner surface of the connate sepals, and the nectar (ca. 7 ml) is accumulated in the space between the corolla and the calyx. Nectar sugar concentration reaches an average of 28%. The results of controlled pollination experiments show that M. tomentosa is self-incompatible. Pollen viability varies from 94% to 98%. In spite of being visited by several pollen vectors, flower attributes of M. tomentosa point to melittophily, and A. mellifera was the most frequent visitor and the principal pollinator. Although honeybees are exotic, severely competing with native pollinators, they are important together with other native bees, like Centris and Xylocopa species, for the fruit set of M. -

General Notes
230 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY GENERAL NOTES A SURVEY OF THE SPHINGIDAE OF SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA Sanibel Island, which lies ca. 3 mi. off the coast of Florida at FOlt Myers, is one of a series of islands that form a chain reaching from north of Charlotte Harbor to slightly south of the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. The island, which is roughly 12 mi. long by 3 mi. wide at its widest point, is currently suffering considerable habitat destruction from commercial development. However, large areas of relatively unspoiled land still remain. A survey was conducted to obtain data on the Sphingidae of Sanibel Island, inclading the relative abundance and feeding behavior of each species. The recent rapid commercial development of much of the island makes these data, obtained before this latest and largest wave of habitat destruction, especially important. METHODS Two methods of data collection were utilized in making this survey. The pri mary method involved observing and collecting specimens as they fed at flowers (mainly sea periwinkle, Vinca rosea), and collecting at lights was used as a sec ondary method. Three major sites were used in the primary method. Two of these sites were large open areas, largely covered with V. msea. Both of these sites were within 300 yd. of the Gulf of Mexico but were surrounded by large trees so that ocean breezes, which would influence feeding behavior, were negligible. The third site was farther inland. This site was partially covered with V. msea, but numerous bushes and small trees were scattered over it as well. -
Distribution and Phenologies of Louisiana Sphingidae
jO/trnaZ of the Lepidopterists' Society 51(2). 1997. 156-175 DISTRIBUTION AND PHENOLOGIES OF LOUISIANA SPHINGIDAE VERNON ANTOINE BROU, JR. AND CHARLOTTE DOZAR BROU 74.320 Jack Loyd Road, Abita Springs, Louisiana 70420, USA ABSTRACT. The abundance, distribution, and flight periods for 55 species of Louisiana Sphingidae are presented, including plior literature records and new collecting data for 44 species taken over a 26-year period (1970 through 1995). Information is pro vided on the number of annual broods for .36 species, and dates of capture are plotted as one-year and composite graphs for 30 species. Additional key words: bait traps, hawkmoths, light traps, sphinx moths, voltinism. The first treatment of the family Sphingidae in Louisiana was pre sented by von Reizenstein (1863), who reported 33 species from the vicinity of New Orleans. Later, von Reizenstein (1881) and Ottolengui (1894) each tallied one additional species for the state, and subsequent published works during this century have gradually expanded the total by another dozen species (see Rothschild & Jordan 1903, Hine 1906, Clark 1917, Draudt 1931, Jung 1950, Merkl & pfrimmer 1955, pfrim mer 1957, Brou 1980, Covell 1984, Brou 1994). For some time, we have been monitoring and collecting adult Louisiana Sphingidae in order to produce a comprehensive state list and examine voltinism and variation in the abundance of adults from brood to brood. In the present paper, we discuss the results from 26 years of sampling, 1970 through 1995. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used ultraviolet light traps and fermenting bait traps to attract sphingids, logging approximately 416,000 light trap hours and 633,000 bait trap hours from 1970 through 1995. -

EVOLUTIONARY BIOGEOGRAPHY OF MANIHOT (EUPHORBIACEAE), A RAPIDLY RADIATING NEOTROPICAL GENUS RESTRICTED TO DRY ENVIRONMENTS Anne Duputié 1, 2, Jan Salick 3, Doyle McKey 1 Aim The aims of this study were to reconstruct the phylogeny of Manihot, a Neotropical genus restricted to seasonally dry areas, to yield insight into its biogeographic history and to identify the closest wild relatives of a widely grown, yet poorly known, crop: cassava (Manihot esculenta). Location Dry and seasonally dry regions of Meso- and South America. Methods We collected 101 samples of Manihot, representing 52 species, mostly from herbaria, and two outgroups (Jatropha gossypiifolia and Cnidoscolus urens). More than half of the currently accepted Manihot species were included in our study; our sampling covered the whole native range of the genus, and most of its phenotypic and ecological variation. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships among Manihot species using sequences for two nuclear genes and a noncoding chloroplast region. We then reconstructed the history of traits related to growth form, dispersal ecology, and regeneration ability. Results Manihot species from Mesoamerica form a grade basal to South American species. The latter species show a strong biogeographic clustering: species from the cerrado form well-defined clades, species from the caatinga of northeastern Brazil form another, and so do species restricted to forest gaps along the rim of the Amazon basin. -
Distribution, Ecology, Chemistry and Toxicology of Plant Stinging Hairs
toxins Review Distribution, Ecology, Chemistry and Toxicology of Plant Stinging Hairs Hans-Jürgen Ensikat 1, Hannah Wessely 2, Marianne Engeser 2 and Maximilian Weigend 1,* 1 Nees-Institut für Biodiversität der Pflanzen, Universität Bonn, 53115 Bonn, Germany; [email protected] 2 Kekulé-Institut für Organische Chemie und Biochemie, Universität Bonn, Gerhard-Domagk-Str. 1, 53129 Bonn, Germany; [email protected] (H.W.); [email protected] (M.E.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-0228-732121 Abstract: Plant stinging hairs have fascinated humans for time immemorial. True stinging hairs are highly specialized plant structures that are able to inject a physiologically active liquid into the skin and can be differentiated from irritant hairs (causing mechanical damage only). Stinging hairs can be classified into two basic types: Urtica-type stinging hairs with the classical “hypodermic syringe” mechanism expelling only liquid, and Tragia-type stinging hairs expelling a liquid together with a sharp crystal. In total, there are some 650 plant species with stinging hairs across five remotely related plant families (i.e., belonging to different plant orders). The family Urticaceae (order Rosales) includes a total of ca. 150 stinging representatives, amongst them the well-known stinging nettles (genus Urtica). There are also some 200 stinging species in Loasaceae (order Cornales), ca. 250 stinging species in Euphorbiaceae (order Malphigiales), a handful of species in Namaceae (order Boraginales), and one in Caricaceae (order Brassicales). Stinging hairs are commonly found on most aerial parts of the plants, especially the stem and leaves, but sometimes also on flowers and fruits. The ecological role of stinging hairs in plants seems to be essentially defense against mammalian herbivores, while they appear to be essentially inefficient against invertebrate pests. -
Quarantine Host Range and Natural History of Gadirtha Fusca, a Potential Biological Control Agent of Chinese Tallowtree (Triadica Sebifera) in North America

Wheeler1* , Emily Jones1, Kirsten Dyer1, Nick Silverson1 & Susan A. Wright2 1USDA/ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3225 College Ave., Ft Lauderdale, FL 33314, USA, and 2USDA/ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, Gainesville, FL 32608, USA Accepted: 23 August 2018 Key words: biocontrol, classical biological control, weed control, Euphorbiaceae, defoliating caterpillar, host range tests, invasive weeds, Sapium, Lepidoptera, Nolidae, integrated pest management, IPM Abstract Classical biological control can provide an ecologically sound, cost-effective, and sustainable manage- ment solution to protect diverse habitats. These natural and managed ecosystems are being invaded and transformed by invasive species. Chinese tallowtree, Triadica sebifera (L.) Small (Euphorbiaceae), is one of the most damaging invasive weeds in the southeastern USA, impacting wetlands, forests, and natural areas. A defoliating moth, Gadirtha fusca Pogue (Lepidoptera: Nolidae), was discovered feeding on Chinese tallowtree leaves in the weed’s native range and has been tested for its suitability as a biological control agent. Natural history studies of G. fusca indicated that the neonates have five instars and require 15.4 days to reach pupation. Complete development from egg hatch to adult emergence required 25.8 days. No differences were found between males and females in terms of life history and nutritional indices measured. Testing of the host range of G. fusca larvae was conducted with no-choice, dual-choice, and multigeneration tests and the results indicated that this species has a very narrow host range.
