Abstract

Abstract The integration of field work with DNA barcoding is useful to disentangle lepidopteran interactions in nature. Adults of the little-known geometrid moth Cosmophyga cortesi Vargas, 2008 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) were reared from folivorous larvae collected on the native tree Schinus areira L. (Anacardiaceae) at about 260 and 1500 m elevation in the transverse valleys of the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. Similarity of two DNA barcodes of C. cortesi was 99.7 and 100% with one sequence of an unidentified geometrid larva previously collected in a cell of the potter wasp Hypodynerus andeus (Packard, 1869) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). This finding represents the first host plant record for C. cortesi, expands its previously documented altitudinal range by more than 1200 m and confirms that its larvae are captured by females of a potter wasp.
阿塔卡马沙漠中一种鲜为人知的几何蛾Cosmophyga cortesi Vargas(鳞翅目:几何科)的自然史
摘要野外工作与DNA条形码的结合有助于解开自然界中鳞翅目动物的相互作用。鲜为人知的几何蛾Cosmophyga cortesi Vargas,2008(鳞翅目:几何科)的成虫是用在智利北部阿塔卡马沙漠横向山谷海拔约260米和1500米的本地树Schinus areira L.(Anacardiaceae)上采集的食叶幼虫饲养的。C.cortesi的两个DNA条形码与先前在陶蜂Hypodynerus andeus(Packard,1869)(膜翅目:胡蜂科)的细胞中收集的一个未鉴定的几何体幼虫序列的相似性分别为99.7%和100%。这一发现代表了C.cortesi的第一个寄主植物记录,将其先前记录的海拔范围扩大了1200米以上,并证实其幼虫被陶工黄蜂的雌性捕获。
