Complete mitochondrial genome of Parasa sinica: New insights into the phylogeny of Limacodidae. [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Parasa sinica was sequenced. It contains 15,306 base pairs (bp), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and one non-coding regulatory area (CR), all of which are shared by other lepidopterans.

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm plantations supports higher assassin bug numbers

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023
Reduced understory vegetation complexity in oil palm plantations leads to a significant drop off in numbers of assassin bugs, which are major pest control agents within the system. This suggests that maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm has the potential to boost both biodiversity and pest control.

Sphingid caterpillars conspicuous patches do not function as distractive marks or warning against predators

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
We used the artificial prey technique to test the distractive marks hypothesis and warning hypothesis using the Pandora sphinx caterpillar as a model. Arthropod predators showed significantly higher attack rates on green colored prey models than red but only a tendency of higher attack on solid (non‐patch patterned) prey models, whereas vertebrates ...

Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 445-462, July 2023., 2023
We elucidated evolutionary relationships of Euteliidae. The divergence time estimated Euteliidae ancestors originated about 53 Ma. Malpighiales are inferred to be ancestral larval hostplant order for Euteliidae. Abstract We performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis on the family Euteliidae to clarify deep divergences and elucidate evolutionary ...

Description of the pupal case of Systropus (Systropus) nitidus Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera, Bombyliidae, Toxophorinae, Systropodini)

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2009
The pupal case of Systropus (Systropus) nitidus Wiedemann reared from an unidentified tipical Limacodidae (Lepidoptera) cocoon is described and illustrated for the first time. Only species of Limacodidae are recorded as host of the immature stages of S. (

The mitochondrial genomes of the Geometroidea (Lepidoptera) and their phylogenetic implications

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
In this study, we determined nine mitochondrial genomes for the Geometridae for the first time. A tRNA gene rearrangement was recognized in S. indicataria, which represents the first gene rearrangement reported for Geometroidea and is also unique in Lepidoptera.
