Volume 4 – 1 July 2010 A newsletter for the fans

Dear Pyraloidea fans,

Welcome to this fourth edition of our newsletter. As you will see below, we have lost another great pyraloid fan in Dale Habeck, who passed away in May. Alma Solis kindly provided some notes on her knowledge of him. I have met him only once or twice and I remember a very gentle man.

Few people have sent me information to publish in PP this time. Hopefully there will be more next year. But perhaps this is due to my poor success in advertising for contribu- tions. So if someone else wants to edit the next issue, please let me know !

I was fortunate last year in July to spend time in Venezuela to collect and visit Pepe Clavijo, who did his Ph.D. at McGill Univer- sity, where we met, under the guidance of Eugene Munroe. Pepe went on to work at Fig. 1.

The second species, ‘Neoglyphodes’ perspec- talis (Walker), also a pyraustine, was first reported from Germany in 2007. It has since been found in France and Switzerland, and one unpublished country record is know to me.

2 The Pyraloid Planet 4 - 2010 Dale H. Habeck

Dale H. Habeck passed away on May 19, 2010. He was an Emeritus Professor at the University of at Gainesville. Although Dale’s work was primarily on biological control agents his true love was rearing , and he was especially intrigued by aquatic pyraloids. He used to say that the biological control work paid for his rearing activities. Soon after I was hired by USDA, I called him in 1991 and asked him if I could come to visit him, follow him around, and learn as much I could about the larvae of aquatic pyraloids. He was amazingly generous. I was able to study the caterpillars in his collection and he knew exactly where to take me to collect, ie. to develop a search image for, immatures of every occurring in Florida. The experience was amazing, one minute he would stop and ask : “do you see that cistern over there. Do you see the bumps on top of the water ? Most of those will be Synclita obliteralis.” We put on waders to get into ponds, or we just walked into the water if it was low and clear, and/or we went on an airboat to a local reservoir. This leads to a story that resulted in a publication. He arranged for us to go out on an airboat to look for aquatic larvae in a local reservoir. On the airboat we would pull up vegetation and look for larvae. He mentioned to Fig. 8. Dale Habeck in the Conference Room of me that he had been looking for the immatures of Petrophila drumalis and had never found McGuire Centre, Gainesville, Florida, January them. I picked up some Pistia stratiotes or water lettuce and found a larva that looked different 2009. Photo by Jackie Miller. from everything else I had seen. I showed it to him and all of sudden he said, “Everyone get a plastic bag and start collecting water lettuce.” We took it to the lab where he had many aquatic tanks. We went through the water lettuce looking for immatures. It turned out to be immatures of Petrophila drumalis (see Habeck & Solis, 1994). This was my first foray into adult morphology of . Later he agreed to work with me on the larvae of the Epipaschiinae for the MONA fascicle. Last year I received a phone call and he told me that due to health reasons he would not be finishing this project and that the collection of immatures would be taken from his house by Debbie Matthews and held for me. I was able to go through this extensive collection early this spring after it arrived at my office in D.C. Needless to say, he will be missed and his knowledge about larvae will be evident in his collection.

Introduction to Pyraloidea of Henan

This work on Pyraloidea is part of the series Insect Fauna of Henan. It deals with the Pyraloidea fauna of Henan Province on the basis of ten years of successive collecting throughout the main regions of this province. A total of 277 species in 146 genera of 12 subfamilies within two families are described in detail. The synonyms of each taxon are listed in chronological order, with reference to the original description. The available data on the geographical distribution and host-plants are also given. 96 plates of adults (19 in colour) as well as both male and female genitalia are included.

The series Insect Fauna of Henan treats 8700 species in 11 books, published or to be published by Science Press, Beijing. Other than Pyraloidea, two other books treat other families of Lepidoptera while the others are focused on Hemiptera, Dip- tera, Hymenoptera, Arachnida, and Acarina.
