Evolutionary history of Euteliidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)

Systematic 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 ...

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

Austral 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 ...

Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico: Reconnecting with historical legacies to guide future priorities

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023
In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Phylogenomics resolves major relationships of Catocala underwing moths

Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 633-643, October 2023., 2023
Our molecular phylogeny of the charismatic underwing moth genus Catocala (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) recovers Catocala and Catocala + Ulotrichopus as monophyletic groups with strong support. Our mapping of larval host plant use onto our molecular phylogeny shows that the most recent common ancestor of Catocala likely fed on legumes.

The occurrence of a troglophile and an oriental species of Erebidae (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) in Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2022
We report two species of the family Erebidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea), Hulodes caranea (Cramer, [1780]) from Mt. Deogyu and Hypena (Hypena) narratalis Walker, [1859] from Jangam cave, for the first time from Korea.

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

Ecology 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.

Evolutionary functional morphology of the proboscis and feeding apparatus of hawk moths (Sphingidae: Lepidoptera)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 11, Page 1390-1410, November 2022., 2022
The morphology of the proboscis and associated feeding organs was studied in several nectar‐feeding hawk moths, as well as a specialized honey‐feeder and two supposedly nonfeeding species. The proboscis of nectar‐feeding Sphingidae displays uniformous tip morphology. A novel piercing proboscis is described in a honey‐feeding hawk moth.
