The recent discovery of larvae as stem and petiole miners in Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta Schott (Araceae) in Costa Rica provided the impetus for the study of Cacographis Lederer in Central America. Adults were reared and identified as Cacographis osteolalis osteolalis (Lederer, 1863), the taro snout moth (newly coined here). Because most of the feeding is internal, external reactions by the plant are described and illustrated for diagnosis in taro plantations. Additionally, based on evidence of external morphology, male genitalia, and COI barcodes, we elevate the Central American Cacographis osteolalis azteca Munroe to the rank of species, C. azteca, revised status. In addition to C. undulalis Schaus that is endemic to Costa Rica, two additional taxa, C. azteca, and the nominotypical subspecies, C. osteolalis osteolalis, are also reported to occur in Costa Rica. The larva of the genus Cacographis is described for the first time in the subfamily Midilinae, a member of the “wet habitat clade” in the Crambidae. The larvae have bisetose lateral setae on the prothorax that differ greatly in length, and highly modified abdominal segments eight and nine, with spiracles for respiration facing posteriorly that have not been reported elsewhere in the Pyraloidea. Cacographis larvae are compared to those of Midila Walker, and images of the larval morphology are provided. Resumen. El reciente descubrimiento de larvas como minadores del tallo y pecíolo en plantas de malanga Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta Schott (Araceae) en Costa Rica impulsó el estudio de Cacographis Lederer en Centroamérica. Los adultos fueron criados e identificados como Cacographis osteolalis (Lederer, 1863), la polilla del taro (término acuñado en este trabajo). Debido a que la mayor parte de la alimentación es interna, las reacciones externas de la planta se describen e ilustran para el diagnóstico en las plantaciones de malanga. Además, con base en evidencia morfológica (externa), los genitales masculinos y los códigos de barras COI, eleva-mos a Cacographis osteolalis azteca Munroe centroamericano al rango de especie, C. azteca, estado revisado. Además de C. undulalis Schaus que es endémica de Costa Rica, también se reportan en Costa Rica dos taxones adicionales, C. azteca, y la subespecie nominotípica C. osteolalis osteolalis. La larva del género Cacographis se describe por primera vez en la subfamilia Midilinae, miembro del “clado de hábitat húmedo” en Crambidae. Las larvas tienen en el protórax setas laterales bisetosas que difieren mucho en longitud, y los segmentos abdominales ocho y nueve altamente modificados con espiráculos respiratorios orientados posteriormente y asi únicos en Pyraloidea. Las larvas de Cacographis se comparan con las de Midila Walker; se brindan imágenes de la morfología larval.","PeriodicalId":54576,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington","volume":"124 1","pages":"860 - 872"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45633171","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 analyzed the Folmer fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene of three closely related species of Semudobia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae): S. betulae (Winnertz), S. tarda Roskam, and S. skuhravae Roskam. These species form fruit galls on different birch species (Betula, Betulaceae) in the Holarctic Region. In Japan, larvae of S. betulae and S. tarda were collected from the native Japanese birch, B. platyphylla, whereas S. skuhravae was collected from the eastern Palearctic birch, B. ermanii. In the Netherlands, the three species were collected from intermediate forms between the Eurasian endemic birches, B. pendula and B. pubescens. Additional sequences of Canadian and European S. betulae and S. skuhravae were obtained from the Barcode of Life Data system (BOLD). In a maximum likelihood analysis, the individuals of each species formed strongly supported clades, but genetic divergence was high within each clade indicating species complexes. European and Canadian individuals of S. betulae and S. skuhravae each formed a single clade with low intraspecific variation, suggesting that these species were introduced together with their hosts to North America. In contrast, Japanese individuals of the three Semudobia species were remarkably distant from European and Canadian individuals, indicating that they have been isolated genetically for a long period on their native eastern Palearctic and Japanese hosts.","PeriodicalId":54576,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington","volume":"124 1","pages":"516 - 526"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41622739","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}
