Exploring the power of moth samples to reveal community patterns along shallow ecological gradients
Some functional or taxonomic groups are more likely to reflect environmental variation than others. We analyzed the suitability of e.g., macrolepidoptera, microlepidoptera, small‐sized species, and specialists to mirror variation in vegetation, as well as their susceptibility to weather and inter‐annual fluctuations.

First pyraloid (Insecta, Lepidoptera) caterpillar from Dominican amber [PDF]
Only three fossils in the Pyraloidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera) have been confirmed to date, two adults and one larva. The first confirmed larva, in the subfamily Pyraustinae (Crambidae), was described from Baltic amber. Recently, another pyraloid larva from

Museomics of a rare taxon: placing Whalleyanidae in the Lepidoptera Tree of Life
We highlight the usefulness of whole‐genome sequencing of museum specimens in order to infer the phylogenetic positions of rare and difficult to collect taxa. We showcase the utility of a museomics approach by providing the first extensive genomic dataset for the enigmatic genus Whalleyana, endemic to Madagascar, and find it to be sister to ...

Refining the phylogeny of Crambidae with complete sampling of subfamilies (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea)
Abstract Crambidae is a group of moths with more than 10,000 species occurring worldwide that evolved diverse morphological and ecological habits. They can be best recognized by morphological characters of the adult tympanal organ and larval chaetotaxy. We present the first molecular phylogeny of Crambidae including all subfamilies and most tribes.

Description of Prorophora mirra sp. n. from Central Asia and new combination Prorophora ammobia (Falkovitsh, 1999), comb. n. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
A new species, Prorophora mirra sp. n., is described from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (in the nominotypical subgenus). Te species is close to P. albidogilvella Roesler, 1970 in the structure of genitalia, but it is similar in appearance to some other ...
