Contribution to knowledge about the family Epermeniidae Spuler, 1910, in Catalunya and the Balearic Islands (Lepidoptera: Epermeniidae). The data from the prospecting carried out of the Epermeniidae Spuler, 1910 family in Catalunya and the Balearic Islands is presented, as the infor- mation obtained from the bibliography with a total result of six Catalan and two Balearic species. Their distribution and biology is also revealed. Resum. Es presenten les dades de les prospeccions fetes de la família Epermeniidae Spuler, 1910, a Catalunya i les illes Balears, així com les informacions obtingudes de la bibliografia, amb un resultat total de sis espècies catalanes i dues de balears. També es dona la seva distribució ibèrica i la biologia coneguda de cada espècie. Key Words: Epermeniidae, Microlepidoptera, faunistics, Catalonia, Balearic Islands, Iberian Peninsula. Introducció Les citacions bibliogràfiques d’aquesta família a la península Ibèrica són molt es- casses. Les primeres que trobem corresponen a Agenjo (1965), que en el seu «Catálogo ordenador de los lepidópteros de España» hi inclou sis espècies, determinades basant-se en els estudis de Gaedike (1966), que recull les dades espanyoles conegudes fins ales- hores. Aquest mateix autor, en un treball posterior de conjunt sobre els Epermeniidae ibèrics (Gaedike 1971), eleva a vuit el nombre de tàxons coneguts, cens augmentat a onze en el darrer catàleg de Vives Moreno (2014), nou dels quals pertanyen al gènere Epermenia Hübner, 1824, i dos al gènere Ochromolopis Hübner, 1824.

  • Biases in Estimation of Insect Herbivory from Herbarium Specimens Mikhail V
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biases in estimation of insect herbivory from herbarium specimens Mikhail V. Kozlov 1*, Irina V. Sokolova2, Vitali Zverev 1, Alexander A. Egorov3, Mikhail Y. Goncharov4 & Elena L. Zvereva 1 Information regarding plant damage by insects in the past is essential to explore impacts of climate change on herbivory. We asked whether insect herbivory measured from herbarium specimens refects the levels of herbivory occurring in nature at the time of herbarium sampling. We compared herbivory measurements between herbarium specimens collected by botany students and ecological samples collected simultaneously by the authors by a method that minimized unconscious biases, and asked herbarium curators to select one of two plant specimens, which difered in leaf damage, for their collections. Both collectors and curators generally preferred specimens with lesser leaf damage, but the strength of this preference varied among persons. In addition, the diferences in measured leaf damage between ecological samples and herbarium specimens varied among plant species and increased with the increase in feld herbivory. Consequently, leaf damage in herbarium specimens did not correlate with the actual level of herbivory. We conclude that studies of herbarium specimens produce biased information on past levels of herbivory, because leaf damage measured from herbarium specimens not only underestimates feld herbivory, but it is not proportional to the level of damage occurring in nature due to multiple factors that cannot be controlled in data analysis. Te data on the intensity of biotic interactions during pre-industrial times are badly needed for evaluation of the extent of the pervasive infuence of human-induced global environmental changes on organisms, populations, communities and entire ecosystems.

A new species from the genus Digitivalva Gaedike, 1 970 is described from Greece, Digitivalva seligeri sp. n. This species belongs to the species group eglanteriella. Keys, based on the adult characters and male and female genitalia, that allow separation of the new species from the other species of its species group, are provided. Introduction My friend Rudi Seliger (Schwalmtal) sent me undetermined material from Greece, which contains a small series of a species from the genus Digitivalva Gaedike, 1970. After a careful examination, it became obvious that these specimens belong to a new species. This species is described below. The genus Digitivalva is one of four genera in the family Acrolepiidae. Hitherto 92 species of acrolepiids are known worldwide. According to Dudgale et al. (1998), this family is a member ofthe putative clade Plutellidae + Acrolepiidae + Glyphipterigidae + (Heliodinidae + Bedellidae + Lyonetiidae). The likely family autapomorphies (Kyrki 1984) include the details of the male genitalia (for example, the reduction of the tegu- men, teguminal processes, and gnathos, and the basal widening of the phallus) and the stalking of the hindwing veins M, + M2 and M3 + CuAj.

The paper summarizes the results of our study of selected Microlepi- doptera families (Meessiidae, Tineidae, Douglasiidae, Epermeniidae, Glyphi- pterigidae: Acrolepiinae) collected in the Russian Altai. Tinea altaica sp. nov. is described from the vicinity of Tashanta on the Russian-Mongolian border and from Mongolia. The new species distantly resembles Tinea semifulvella Haworth, 1828 and T. semifulvelloides Petersen, 1973. The up to now unknown females of Klimeschia biarmatella Budashkin, 2003 and Monopis luteocostalis Gaedike, 2006 are described.

  • Biological Control of Cape Ivy Project
    Biological Control of Cape-ivy Project 2005-2006 Biennial Research Report prepared by Joe Balciunas and Chris Mehelis United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service Western Regional Research Center - Exotic & Invasive Weed Research Unit 800 Buchanan St., Albany, California 94710 (510) 559-5975 FAX: (510) 559-5982 II Executive Summary by Dr. Joe Balciunas This is our second ‘electronic’ report, and most of you will receive our Biennial Report for 2005 and 2006 as PDF attachment to an email. We hope that this will make our report more easily accessible, since you may chose to store it on your hard disk. There are also a 58 pages of Appendices that supplement this report. They can be viewed / downloaded from our FTP dropbox at ftp://147.49.50.52/dropbox/Balciunas/. The good news is that by the end of 2006, we had reached the milestone of completing our host range testing of our two most promising potential biological control agents for Cape ivy, the gall fly, Parafreutreta regalis, and the stem-boring moth, Digitivalva delaireae. We have tested more than 80 species of plants, and neither of our candidate agents was able to complete development on anything other than their Cape ivy host.{See sections II & III] We have collated our results, and are preparing a formal ‘petition’ seeking permission to release both of these agents in the field. This ‘petition’ will be submitted to TAG during the second quarter of 2007. We hope to receive a positive recommendation from TAG within 6 months. The outlook for receiving a release permit from USDA-APHIS-PPQ has improved, but is still not clear.

  • Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies) at Inverness Ridge in Central Coastal California and Their Recovery Following a Wildfire
    LEPIDOPTERA (MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES) AT INVERNESS RIDGE IN CENTRAL COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THEIR RECOVERY FOLLOWING A WILDFIRE J. A. Powell Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract.— In numbers of species, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) make up the largest group of plant-feeding animals in North America. Caterpillars of nearly all species feed on plants, and most of them are specialists on one or a few kinds of plants. Therefore they are liable to be severely affected by wildfires, and secondarily, their parasites and predators, including birds, bats, lizards, and rodents, suffer losses of a major food resource. In October 1995, a wildfire swept over part of The Point Reyes National Seashore, burning more than 12,300 acres (5,000 hectares) of public and private land, following a fire-free period of several decades. I tracked survival and recolonization by moths and butterflies during the subsequent five seasons. I made daytime searches for adults and caterpillars approximately monthly from March through October and collected blacklight trap samples, mostly in May and September-October. More than 650 species of Lepidoptera have been recorded in the Inverness Ridge area, and about 375 of them were recorded during the post-fire survey, including larvae of 31% of them. Plants in a Bishop pine forest higher on the ridge, where the fire was most intense, accumulated their caterpillar faunas slowly, while Lepidoptera feeding on plants typical of riparian woods in the lower canyons reestablished sooner and more completely. Recolonization varied markedly among different plant species, and the species richness gradually increased, in marked contrast to generalizations about effects of fire on arthropods derived from fire management of grasslands.
