SUMMARY _. -' On some species of Zingiberaceae, observation have been done to record the possible insect pests on these host plants. Among the many species observed that cause damage ion parts of these zingiberaceous plants, five were observed to show potentials as serious pests. These were Attacus atlas, Kirana diocles, Xanthoptera sp., Jamides alecto and Prodioctes sp, However, based on the usefulness of the plant parts damaged, only one species could be considered as the dangerous pest that had to be handled carefully. This was Prodioctes sp. Fe! other species, the, need of further researches covers monitoring the population behaviour which is related to population out rreak, so that preventive action can be measured. INTRODUCTION Production of modern medicine as well as traditional "jamu" (medicine) in Indonesia requires a lot of supply of zingiberaoeous rhizomes. The increase of demand on this commodity results in the s more extensive planting of the zingiberaceous plants.

  • Flowering Trees of Bangalore by S. Karthikeyan
    FLOWERING TREES OF BANGALORE S.Karthikeyan Email : [email protected] Website : www.wildwanderer.com 1 FFFLOWERING TTTREES Bangalore’s charm as a Garden City may have diminished. However, some of the trees that perhaps earned its name are still to be seen and cherished. For those of us who would want to simply immerse ourselves in that moment appreciating the beauty of each of these flowering trees that dot Bangalore it really does not matter …we will continue to do so. For those who would want to have more information about these trees, I have tried to put together some, along with pictures for 56 species that are often seen. This includes similar / related species that are dealt under a main species. Hope you find it useful. Note : • Flowering seasons mentioned in the following pages are from available literature. Onset of flowering is, however, subject to prevailing environmental conditions and location. • All vernacular names mentioned are Kannada names. 2 AAACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This compilation is a result of several years of observation, reading books on the topic, and interacting with experts and other like-minded people. The effort started with a series of postings on bngbirds as and when I observed a species in bloom. In the process about two dozen species were covered. Due to popular request from several subscribers to bngbirds this series was repeated with some additions. And recently the same content was suitably edited and posted on www.wildwanderer.com . Here again, it met with an overwhelming response. This prompted and encouraged me to add some more species taking the total to over 50 species.

  • New Records of Butterflies (Lepidoptera) from the Eastern Caroline Islands, Micronesia1
    New Records of Butterflies (Lepidoptera) from the Eastern Caroline Islands, Micronesia1 Donald W. Buden,2,5 Donald P. Sands,3 and W. John Tennent4 Abstract: Twenty-three new locality records are presented for nine species of butterflies (Lepidoptera) from 11 islands and island groups in the eastern Car- oline Islands, Micronesia. None is endemic; most occur widely in the Indo- Australian region and the islands of the western Pacific. The Lycaenidae were the most well-represented family with at least eight species. The nymphalid Hypolimnas bolina was the most frequently encountered species, occurring on all 11 island groups. Pakin Atoll, which was visited on two different occasions for a total of 5 days, was the only island group visited during this study where but- terflies were not seen. The butterfly fauna of Micronesia has contributes new locality records based largely never been comprehensively assessed. Many on recent collections and observations from of the specimens collected during the Insects eight different islands and island groups in of Micronesia Project outlined by Gressitt the eastern Caroline Islands intermittently (1954) were apparently lost after being sent between November 2001 and August 2003, on loan overseas (S. E. Miller in Buden and plus supplementary material from the Bishop Miller 2003), and no article on butterflies Museum and a small, hitherto-unreported was ever published in the Insects of Micro- collection in the College of Micronesia Land nesia series. Schreiner and Nafus (1997) Grant Office (Kolonia, Pohnpei). summarized what little is known of the ecol- ogy and distribution of species among the Study Area major islands and island groups of greater Micronesia, including the Mariana Islands, The Caroline Islands span approximately Caroline Islands, and Marshall Islands.
