The species-level response of organisms to habitat loss and fragmentation relies on their dispersal ability, as well as trophic level, degree of habitat specialization and landscape structure. For butterflies, community composition is affected by the landscape configuration, by the surrounding habitat and by the matrix composition scattered around forest fragments, whereas higher dispersal ability is a significant advantage for persistence in highly fragmented landscapes. However, species of butterflies are highly variable in their dispersion capabilities, which affects their genetic variability as a whole and in how it is distributed within and between subpopulations in remaining fragments. In the present study, the genetic variability in subpopulations of Paryphthimoides poltys distributed through forest fragments was evaluated. Low diversity and the absence of genetic structure was found through eight fragments of semideciduous Atlantic Forest, surrounded by agricultural matrices, in Southeastern Brazil. Although P. poltys was the most common species found in the area in a previous study, its high abundance was not accompanied by high genetic variability. The species is usually found flying in forest edges and open environments and, although low, its genetic variability is expected to be preserved even if some of the investigated forest fragments are lost in the near future.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133634901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wagner","doi":"10.18473/lepi.76i3.a2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18473/lepi.76i3.a2","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT. Stiria comprises a group of 14 North American noctuid species that has radiated across the desert and dryland communities of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Stiria caterpillars are hostplant specialists, generally feeding on the flowers and seeds of a single or closely related species within the Asteraceae tribe Heliantheae. Their larvae exemplify the power of natural selection to shape and mold larval phenotypes across instars to match the developmental changes of their host flowers. We infer a preliminary molecular phylogeny for Stiria, describe Stiria brava sp. nov. from West Texas, and report six new larval hostplant associations for the genus. Identity of S. brava can reliably be determined by external adult morphology and COI haplotypes—but neither male or female genitalia provide definitive diagnostic features (across the genus). Larvae of S. brava are specialists on Jefea brevifolia. The adult, male and female genitalia, and larval stages are described and illustrated. RESUMEN. Stiria consiste de 14 especies en Norteamerica, y es más diverso en México y el suroeste de Los Estados Unidos. Las orugas de Stiria son especializadas con respeto a las plantas que comen, en general cada especie de Siria comiendo las flores y las semillas de solo una especie, o especies cercanamentes relacionadas, de planta en el tribu Heliantheae de Asteraceae. Sus larvas ejemplifican el poder de selección natural de formar y moldear fenotipos larvarios a través de los instares tal que los cambios en la aparencia de las larvas se emparejan a los cambios en aparencia que ocurren en las flores hospedantes en las cual se alimentan. Inferimos una filogenia molecular preliminar para Stiria, describimos Stiria brava sp. nov. del oeste de Texas, y reportamos seis historias de vida nuevas para el género. La identidad de S. brava puede ser determinada con certeza por morfología externa de los adultos y haplotipos COI—pero ni la genitalia de los machos ni las hembras proveen características de diagnóstico definitivas (para ninguna especie dentro del género).

Pistachio fruit hull borer, Arimania komaroffi (Rogonot) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a damaging insect pest of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivars in Iran and some other areas of the world. In this research, A. komaroffi was reared on the fruit hull of different commercial pistachio cultivars (Ahmad Aaghaei, Akbari, Kaleghochi, Momtaz and Ohadi) at 25±2°C, 45±5% R.H. and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L: D) h, and its life history and life table parameters were investigated. To evaluate the development, survival and body weight of pre-adult stages, sixty first instar larvae were reared on the fruit hull of each pistachio cultivar. Also, the weight of shelters made by larvae was measured on each cultivar. After emergence of adults, fecundity (number of eggs deposited), incubation period, and adult longevity were recorded. Based on the obtained results, cultivar Ohadi was unsuitable for population increase of A. komaroffi, because a prolonged immature period and the lowest values of food consumption (FC), larval weight gained (LW), shelter weight (SW), and population growth of the pest were on this cultivar. However, cultivar Momtaz was relatively suitable for this pest, since the shortest immature period, and the highest FC, LW, SW, and population growth were on this cultivar. There were significant positive correlations between SW of larvae and FC, LW and intrinsic rate of increase (rm). Our results showed that Ohadi was relatively resistant, and Momtaz was relatively susceptible cultivars to A. komaroffi development and population increase.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129391471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genus was recently expanded to include three other genera, Grammia Rambur, Holarctia Smith and Notarctia Smith (Rönkä et al. 2016). Two additional genus-group names, Mimarctia Neumögen & Dyar and Orodemnias Wallengren, were considered junior subjective synonyms prior to that study (Schmidt 2009), although erroneously stated as new synonyms therein. Many species of Apantesis are common and familiar moths that are readily encountered at lights, whether it be traps, light and sheet, or porch light. However, some species in the genus, such as A. edwardsii (Stretch), A. brillians (Schmidt), A. fergusoni (Schmidt), and A. eureka (Ferguson & Schmidt), are infrequently collected and known to science from very few specimens (Schmidt 2009). We here report new observations of A. eureka, representing the first records of the species in over a century. Apantesis eureka was described by Ferguson and Schmidt (2007) from specimens collected in 1909 and 1910 at the eastern edge of the Great Basin, USA. The specimens in the original description included the male holotype and a male and female paratype from Eureka, Utah, hence the species name. The species was not collected again except for an additional female paratype (Fig. 1a). This specimen was received in the 1950s by Douglas C. Ferguson from Jim Manning, a butterfly collector based in Boise, Idaho. Although the specimen bore no original data, it was assumed that the collection locality was in the vicinity of Boise, Idaho (Ferguson & Schmidt 2007). As such, the northern range of this species is uncertain due to the lack of specimen label data. These four specimens are the only records for A. eureka, and knowledge about the species is extremely limited. Ferguson and Schmidt (2007) speculated that the paucity of A. eureka records was likely a result of the species being diurnal.
