In total, 77 species from 13 families have been identified. Their seasonal occurrence in this habitat was also investigated, with most species recorded in wet season between September and April, but with clear peak in February and March. The family Noctuidae was by far the most speciose (38 recorded species), followed by Crambidae (8 spp.), Sphingidae (6 spp.) and Arctiidae (4 spp.). All other families were represented by 1–3 species. For each species listed date of collection is given, and data on its global distribution. Key words: Lepidoptera, check-list, biodiversity, distribution, moths, Ovamboland INTRODUCTION According to recent quite precise estimate, there are 15 5181 species, 16 650 genera and 121 families of Lepidoptera worldwide (Pouge 2009). Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia has recently attracted attention of European entomologists. However, thorough surveys were conducted hitherto in a few areas only, such as Brandberg and Hobatere. The northern regions of the country were especially badly neglected. In southern Africa (south of Zambezi and Kunene Rivers) – 8 511 species, 2 368 genera and 89 families were recently catalogued (Vári et al.

(Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Eka Candra Lina *), Nia Yulianti, Gustria Ernis, Arneti and Novri Nelly Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University, Kampus Unand Limau Manis, Padang, Indonesia *) Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: February 16, 2018 /Accepted: August 10, 2018 ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to evaluate the safety of mixture formulations of Tephrosia vogelii and Piper aduncum at various storage temperatures and their insecticidal activity against C. pavonana larvae. Formulations were made from T. vogelii and P. aduncum (1:5) in emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and wettable powder (WP) form. Both formulations have strong insecticidal activity against C. pavonana. This research used a randomized completed design in different temperature treatments. Insecticidal activity of formulations after storage was tested against C. pavonana. The treatments were done using deep leaf method in 5 concentrations and 5 replications. The results showed that LC95 value of EC formulation after storage at condition: below 4°C, room temperature, and 40°C were 0.19%, 0.34% and 0.21% respectively. Based on LC95 value of EC formulation from each treatment, indicated that EC formulation after storage could hold insecticidal activity as good as insecticidal activity before storage due to LC95 value after storage relatively lower than LC95 value before storage (0.35%). In the contrary, WP formulation activity was significantly decreased in all treatments compared to WP formulation activity before storage based on LC95 value. Keywords: botanical insecticide; Crocidolomia pavonana; formulation; storage; temperature INTRODUCTION Storing insecticide including botanical insecticide formulations becomes critical control points in pesticide distribution and pesticide storage.

  • Crambidae Biosecurity Occurrence Background Subfamilies Short Description Diagnosis
    Diaphania nitidalis Chilo infuscatellus Crambidae Webworms, Grass Moths, Shoot Borers Biosecurity BIOSECURITY ALERT This Family is of Biosecurity Concern Occurrence This family occurs in Australia. Background The Crambidae is a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of moths that currently comprises 11,500 species globally, with at least half that number again undescribed. The Crambidae and the Pyralidae constitute the superfamily Pyraloidea. Crambid larvae are concealed feeders with a great diversity in feeding habits, shelter building and hosts, such as: leaf rollers, shoot borers, grass borers, leaf webbers, moss feeders, root feeders that shelter in soil tunnels, and solely aquatic life habits. Many species are economically important pests in crops and stored food products. Subfamilies Until recently, the Crambidae was treated as a subfamily under the Pyralidae (snout moths or grass moths). Now they form the superfamily Pyraloidea with the Pyralidae. The Crambidae currently consists of the following 14 subfamilies: Acentropinae Crambinae Cybalomiinae Glaphyriinae Heliothelinae Lathrotelinae Linostinae Midilinae Musotiminae Odontiinae Pyraustinae Schoenobiinae Scopariinae Spilomelinae Short Description Crambid caterpillars are generally cylindrical, with a semiprognathous head and only primary setae (Fig 1). They are often plainly coloured (Fig. 16, Fig. 19), but can be patterned with longitudinal stripes and pinacula that may give them a spotted appearance (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 14, Fig. 22). Prolegs may be reduced in borers (Fig. 16). More detailed descriptions are provided below. This factsheet presents, firstly, diagnostic features for the Pyraloidea (Pyralidae and Crambidae) and then the Crambidae. Information and diagnostic features are then provided for crambids listed as priority biosecurity threats for northern Australia.

College, Khamriya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: The study based on the survey made at different localities in Veerangana Durgavati Received 06th February, 2020 Wildlife Sanctuary, Damoh. During the study total thirty specimens of family Crambidae Received in revised form 14th were collected with the help of light traps. This paper deals with the collection and March, 2020 identification of moths of family Crambidae (order Lepidoptera) which comprises 11 Accepted 23rd April, 2020 species of 11 genera and 2 subfamilies- Spilomelinae & Pyraustinae. Subfamily: Published online 28th May, 2020 Spilomelinae was the dominated sub family. The diversity indices for the family were also calculated. Shannon-Weiner Diversity (H’) was 2.0395, whereas Simpson’s diversity Index Key words: (D) was 0.1733 and dominance Index (1-D) was 0.8267. The species diversity is a very important parameter for functioning of an ecosystem, thus this is very important to protect Crambidae, Lepidoptera, Moths, Diversity, moth fauna by protecting the natural habitat of the sanctuary.

    Anim. Syst. Evol. Divers. Vol. 30, No. 4: 267-273, October 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.5635/ASED.2014.30.4.267 Short communication Four Newly Recorded Species of the Family Crambidae (Lepidoptera) from Korea Seung Jin Roh1, Sung-Soo Kim2, Yang-Seop Bae3, Bong-Kyu Byun1,* 1Department of Biological Science & Biotechnology, Hannam University, Daejeon 305-811, Korea 2Research Institute for East Asian Environment and Biology, Seoul 134-852, Korea 3Division of Life Sciences, Incheon National University, Incheon 406-772, Korea ABSTRACT This study was carried out to report the newly recorded species of the family Crambidae, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. During the course of investigation on the family Crambidae in South Korea, the following four species are reported for the first time from Korea: Diplopseustis perieresalis (Walker, 1859), Dolichar- thria bruguieralis (Duponchel, 1833), Herpetogramma ochrimaculale (South, 1901), and Omiodes diemenalis (Guenée, 1854). Among them two genera, Diplopseustis Meyrick and Dolicharthria Stephens, are also newly reported from Korea. External and genital characteristics of adults were examined and illustrated. All of the newly recorded species were enumerated with their available information including the collecting localities, illustrations of adults, and genitalia. Keywords: Lepidoptera, Crambidae, new record, Korea INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Until now, more than 16,000 species of the superfamily Pyra- Materials examined in the present study are preserved in the lodiea have been recorded in the world (Munroe and Solis, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Hannam University 1999). In Korea, a total of 349 species of the superfamily (SELHNU), Daejeon, Korea. The genitalia of both sexes were Pyralodiea have been known to date (Bae et al., 2008).

It is about people. It is about trees only so far as they can serve the needs of people‖ -Jack Westoby 4 Foreword People of Nepal are heavily dependent on forests for the supply of fuel wood, fodder and timber. The annual estimated consumption of traditional fuel is 11.3 million m3 of which dung and farm residues supply 28% in the terai and 18% in the hills. Of the total fuel-wood supply, 14 % in the terai and 33% in the hills is obtained from private wood lots.
