Identification of Silk Components in the Bombycoid Moth Andraca theae (Endromidae) Reveals Three Fibroin Subunits Resembling Those of Bombycidae and Sphingidae.

Journal of insect physiology, 2023
The silk produced by Lepidoptera caterpillars is a mixture of proteins secreted by the transformed labial glands, the silk glands (SG). The silk fiber consists of insoluble filamentous proteins that form a silk core and are produced in the posterior part

High-quality haploid genomes corroborate 29 chromosomes and highly conserved synteny of genes in Hyles hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)

bioRxiv, 2023
Background Morphological and traditional genetic studies of the young Pliocene genus Hyles have led to the understanding that despite its importance for taxonomy, phenotypic similarity of wing patterns does not correlate with phylogenetic relationship ...

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

Journal of morphology, 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.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Laothoe amurensis sinica (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) from China and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources, 2022
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Laothoe amurensis sinica (Rothschild & Jordan, 1903) was sequenced. The L. amurensis sinica mitogenome is circular, double-stranded, with length of 15,341 bp.

Confluenine G, a new compound from a basidiomycetous yeast Moesziomyces sp. FKI-9540 derived the gut of a moth Acherontia lachesis (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae).

Bioscience, biotechnology and biochemistry, 2022
Most natural products derived from microorganisms have been sought from actinomycetes and filamentous fungi. As an attempt to develop new microbial resources in the exploratory research for natural products, we searched for new compounds from unexploited
