This study found that Golden is the most dominant color of chrysalises with the highest survival rate while Green is the rarest color in chrysalises. The survival rate of Brown colored chrysalises is moderate while interestingly all the red chrysalises were affected by parasitoids and did not survive which shows that Parasitoidism is somehow responsible for phenotypic variations in the chrysalises of Aglais caschmirensis Kollar, 1844.","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44329596","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}

From a series of Guatemalan material, three new species are described: Argyresthia quetzaltenangonella Gorneau & Dombroskie, sp. nov., Argyresthia guatemala Gorneau & Dombroskie, sp. nov., Argyresthia iridescentia Gorneau & Dombroskie, sp. nov., representing the first Neotropical species to be described in over a century, and the first from Central America. A phylogeny is inferred using the barcode gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), representing an initial foray into the internal relationships of the family. For species with known host plants and available molecular data, a stochastic character mapping analysis was conducted to estimate character states at internal nodes. Furthermore, this phylogeny allows for preliminary insights into the monophyly of the subgenus Blastotere Ratzeburg 1840. Systematic work onArgyresthia remains particularly salient as species in the genus run the gamut from being pests to being considered extinct. Furthermore, notes are provided regarding the status of select Nearctic species, such as the ongoing confusion in North America between Argyresthia goedartella (Linnaeus, 1758) and A. calliphanes Meyrick 1913. Focusing taxonomic efforts on Argyresthia of the Neotropics will lay the foundation for future work regarding biodiversity, ecology, and biogeography of the family.","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45898699","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}

The specimens from different populations of these two species hardly differ morphologically but do differ genetically. The mean genetic distance between the groups of A. lueneburgensis and A. lutulenta examined here indicates that their geographic populations can be treated as belonging to separate species.

Despite the major concerns, no systematic study is available to describe population dynamics of T. absoluta and its natural enemies. The objective of this study was to compare the abundance of the pest (eggs and larvae) and its native natural enemies, in greenhouses of tomato crops produced under different production modes (biological, traditional and intensive). A sampling program was carried out during 2020-2021 and two production seasons of spring-summer and fall-winter. The abundance of eggs and larvae of T. absoluta were higher in tomato crops in intensive production and lower in biological production mode. Infestations by eggs and larvae were higher in spring-summer seasons. The natural enemies recorded were Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur, 1839) (Hemiptera: Miridae), Dicyphus cerastii Wagner, 1951 (Hemiptera: Miridae) and Trichogramma achaeaeNagaraja & Nagarkatti, 1960 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae). The abundance of natural enemies were very low and, virtually, do not occur during the fall-winter seasons. We found no significant difference between the abundance of M. pygmaeus amongst tomato crops from different production mode but D. cerastii was more abundant on greenhouses of biological production mode. Parasitism rate by T. achaeae does not differ between production modes and crop seasons. Considering the major concerns of the growers by the infestation levels of their crops, together with low abundance of native natural enemies, we suggest the use of biological production mode or an inoculative or augmentative strategy to control the pest in intensive and traditional productions modes.","PeriodicalId":49535,"journal":{"name":"Shilap-Revista De Lepidopterologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48805228","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}
