Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Phylogeography of the Grassland Skipper Ochlodes venatus Supports the Hypothesis That This Japanese Grassland Insect Has a Long History

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The key finding of this manuscript is that Ochlodes venatus, a species of Japanese grassland butterfly, inhabited Japan far earlier than previously known. This study estimates O. venatus was distributed in Japan at least 200,000 years ago. This provides crucial evidence that grassland organisms inhabited Japan much earlier than previously thought ...

Phylogenetic Trends in the Dissymmetrisation of Genitalia in Hadenini (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

Diversity
The external genital appendages of Noctuidae represent correlated–coevolved elements of a complex structure. The pathways of changes are delimited by some constraints, and they are parallelly evolved in different phyletic lines. Asymmetrical male external genitalia were found in Hadenini, in Polia and its closely related genera, but also in Anarta (s ...

Allopatric cryptic diversity in the alpine species complex Phtheochroa frigidana s. lat. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
Allopatric alpine populations of Phtheochroa frigidana s. lat. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) are reviewed. In addition to traditional diagnostic characters of external morphology, the genitalia structures of everted vesicae in male genitalia and DNA ...

Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
The accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...
