Two new species of the subfamily Phycitinae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from West Kazakhstan [PDF]
Asalebria (Exophora) vernalis sp. n. and Gymnancyla subgilvella sp. n. are described from Atyrau and Mangistau Regions of Kazakhstan. Male and female genitalia of these species are illustrated. Asalebria (Exophora) vernalis sp. n.

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 ...

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 ...

We studied 1102 species of geometridae moths along a continuous tropical rainforests gradient in Papua New Guinea, from 200 m lowland to 3700 m asl timberline forest. We recorded a mid‐elevational peak for the geometridae moths, with 1200 m asl as the most species‐rich elevation.

Phylogenomics has helped us resolve much of the Lepidoptera tree of life, but the relationships among the superfamilies within Ditrysia, containing 98% of the order's species richness, remain unresolved. One of the unresolved questions is the phylogenetic position of the large microlepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea, whose placement depends on the ...

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

Commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum unrooted cuttings from Uganda
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation EU/2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by unrooted cuttings of Jasminum polyanthum that are ...

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 ...
