Eight species are recorded as new to the fauna of the Canary Islands: Achroia grisella (Fabricius, 1794) (Pyralidae: Galleriinae), Alophia combustella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855), Epischniaprodromella (Hübner, [1799]), Epischnia illotella Zeller, 1839, Assara conicolella (Constant, 1884), Homoeosoma stenotea Hampson, 1926 (Pyralidae: Phycitinae), Loxostege sticticalis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Achyra nudalis (Hübner, 1796) (Pyralidae: Pyraustinae). Hypsopygia rubidalis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) should be removed from the list of Lepidoptera found in the Canary Islands and replaced by Hypsopygia costalis (Fabricius, 1775) (Pyralidae: Pyralinae). We argue that Pima tricolorella Falck, Karsholt & Slamka, 2019 is a bona species. Photographs of adults of all species are shown. Photographs of the genitalia of new species are shown. Five of the six new species are Barcode and DNA analyses support the identification as new species.","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44165520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the temporal profile of this species larval abundance and the number of males captured in sex pheromone traps, hypothesizing that both profiles were similar. The study was carried out on seven endemic host plants and one native species grown in two forest nurseries (Furnas and Nordeste) in São Miguel Island over two years from 2018 to 2019. A total of 827 plants attacked by E. postvittana were observed in Furnas nursery (2018: 503, 2019: 324) and 1227 in the Nordeste (2018: 649, 2019: 578), including the presence of 525 larvae distributed by the Furnas (2018: 178, 2019: 79) and from the Nordeste (2018: 131, 2019: 137). In 2019, the average weekly number of males captured in the sex pheromone traps (total 31 weeks) were higher in Furnas (mean ± SE: 9.68 ± 1.982) than in Nordeste (3.33 ± 0.651). In synthesis, (i) the population density varied throughout the year and as a function of the host plant species in production; (ii) the abundance profile of larval and adults suggests has at least three to four generations per year and that adults are active year-round, experiencing some delayed development during the winter; (iii) a low larval density does not represent very serious damage to Azorean endemic plants, but is reflected in the population density of its natural enemies; (iv) some biological control agents are present in the field, parasitizing the larvae (i.e., Braconidae species of Meteorus ictericus (Nees, 1811) and Microgaster opheltes Nixon, 1968); (v) finally, the knowledge of the population dynamics and its natural enemies needs further and long-term study.","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45673985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the relationships between vegetation characteristics and the abundance and diversity of Lepidoptera in Darabkola forest, Sari district (Mazandaran province, northern Iran). Light trapping yielded a total of 474 exemplars representing 84 species and belonging to 16 families. 31 plant species belonged to 28 genera and 23 families were recorded of three distinct forests in the region. The total number of plant species and Fisher’s α showed the significant difference. The regression analysis indicated that the Lepidoptera abundance was correlated with basal area, diameter at breast height and tree density, although a significant relationship was not observed between plant characteristics and Fisher’s α of Lepidoptera. The lack of a significant relationship between plant diversity and the abundance and diversity of Lepidoptera represents the weak role of plant diversity in creating diversity patterns in forest ecosystems. \u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46329962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
