A Comparative Analysis of Sonic Defences in Bombycoidea Caterpillars [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractCaterpillars have long been used as models for studying animal defence. Their impressive armour, including flamboyant warning colours, poisonous spines, irritating sprays and mimicry of plant parts, snakes and bird droppings, has been extensively documented. But research has mainly focused on visual and chemical displays. Here we show that some

Molecular Phylogeny of Anthelidae and Other Bombycoid Taxa (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea) [PDF]

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, 2008
Abstract Based on DNA sequences of the fusion protein carbamoylphosphate synthetase/aspartate transcarbamylase/dihydroorotase (CAD; 680 bp) and elongation factor‐1α (Ef‐1α; 1240 bp); the first molecular phylogeny of the moth family Anthelidae and its placement within the Bombycoidea sensu (= bombycoid complex ...

Phylogenetic relationships among Bombycinae (Lepidoptera, Bombycoidea, and Bombycidae) based on mitochondrial genomes

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2022
AbstractThe subfamily Bombycinae Latreille, [1802] is an important silk‐producing group, including well‐known economical insects. Although there are many studies on the development of these economic insects, the relationships between genera/species of this subfamily are still unclear.

A new species of Pantelodes (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea: Apatelodidae) from Southern Bahia, Brazil

Zootaxa, 2021
A recent taxonomic study revealed that specimens so far identified as Apatelodes satellitia (Walker, 1855) are in fact representatives of a complex of cryptic species. A new genus was established to hold this complex of species, namely Pantelodes Herbin, 2017.

The First Mitochondrial Genome for Brahmin Moths (Brahmaeidae) and Implications for the Higher Phylogeny of Bombycoidea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2018
Abstract Bombycoidea comprises 10 families and 4723 species, and the phylogenetic relationships among families are still in debate. In this study, we have determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Brahmaea porphyria. The 15,429-bp mitogenome contains a common set of 37 mitochondrial genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 ...
