Weights of \u3ci\u3ePolia Grandis\u3c/i\u3e Pupae Reared at Two Constant Temperatures (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]
Sibling Polia grandis (Boisduval) larvae were reared at two constant temperatures on fresh foliage of quaking aspen (Populus tvemuloides Michx.). Female pupae developing at 25°C were 24% heavier than those developing at 30°C and corresponding males were ...

Revision of family Noctuidae of Egypt (3) Subfamilies “Acontiinae, Agaristinae, Amphipyrinae and Hadeninae” (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) [PDF]
In the last 2 papers for the revision of Noctuidae in Egypt, we revised 7 subfamilies (Xyleninae, Acronictinae, Heliothinae, Metoponiinae, Noctuinae, Oncocnemidinae, and Plusiinae) from the 16 subfamilies belonging to family Noctuidae. In this study, we are exposed to revise four subfamilies which are Acontiinae, Agaristinae, Amphipyrinae, and ...
