The Lepidoptera fauna of southwestern Africa - the land between southern Angola and Cape Town- is dominated by groups adapted to arid and semiarid conditions. Many genera and species are found nowhere else in Africa, and this high endemism mirrors the unique vegetation of the occurring biomes. Based on intensive field work over several years this b...

The spotted clover moth, Protoschinia scutosa (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important
polyphagous pest that is widely distributed in the world. P. scutosa overwinters as pupae in agricultural soils in
Northern China. Yet, it is unclear whether P. scutosa also engages in seasonal migration over mid- to long-range

... The genitalia of the African species are clearly different from Paraxenistis and also from the male genitalia of the remaining two species. In consequence, the genera Baerenschenkia Mey, 2011 andDeryaxenistis Mey, 2011 were established to accommodate the African species. At the time of introducing these new generic names the author was aware of a much wider range for these genera, which extends beyond Africa. ...
Three new species of Plutellidae are described from Iran: Baerenschenkia lamasi Mey, sp. n., Deryaxenistis nekrutenkoi Mey, sp. n., and Paraxenistis ammolofon Mey, sp. n. Adults and male and female genitalia are illustrated. The male genitalia of two lectotype specimens, deposited in the Natural History Museum, London were examined and illustrated: Paraxenistis sphenospila Meyrick, 1919 and P. pentaula (Meyrick, 1913). They are provisionally retained in Paraxenstis Meyrick, 1919.

... The presence of the tortricoid type sternum II in adults was identified by Mey (2004) as a character that precludes assignment to Yponomeutoidea, where the group was included previously (Friese 1962). In Africa south of the Sahara, the family is represented by the genus Homadaula Lower, 1899 with four species (Mey 2004(Mey , 2011, and from the Arabian Peninsula with three species (Mey 2005). In recent years, new material of Homadaula was collected by European microlepidopterists in poorly researched areas in Central and East Africa. ...
The study of African material of the genus Homadaula obtained from collections of European lepidopterists and museum collections yielded the discovery of 10 unknown species, which are described herein as: Homadaula aarviki sp. nov., Homadaula agassizi sp. nov., Homadaula arabica sp. nov., Homadaula deprinsorum sp. nov., Homadaula gabonensis sp. nov., Homadaula larseni sp. nov., Homadaula malawiensis sp. nov., Homadaula peregovitsi sp. nov., Homadaula saharaensis sp. nov. and Homadaula taraktica sp. nov. Two species was left undescribed because only female individuals were available. The male and the female genitalia are illustrated and images of the moths are provided. New records of six previously described species are presented.
... Twenty-one species of Scrobipalpa were included in the list of the Lepidoptera of South Africa (Vári et al. 2002). Recently, eight species were recorded from Brandberg Massif in Namibia (Bidzilya 2007), three species were described as new, and one species removed from Scrobipalpa (Mey 2011). Several Scrobipalpa species, mainly pests of crops, have been recorded for the rest of the Afrotropical region: Scrobipalpa subroseata (Meyrick, 1932) was described from Uganda; S. concreta (Meyrick, 1914) was recorded from DR Congo (Meyrick 1938); S. blapsigona was mentioned as pest of egg-plant and other Solanum spp. in Ghana (Duodu 1985;Owusu-Ansah et al. 2001); S. ergasima was recorded from DR Congo (Ghesquière 1931) and Sudan (Povolný 1964c); and S. aptatella has been recorded from DR Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi (Ghesquière 1940) and Cape Verde (Báez & García 2005;De Prins & De Prins 2021). ...

(Namibia, RSA), S. etoshensis sp. nov. (Namibia), S. ethiopica sp. nov. (Ethiopia), and S. agassizi sp. nov. (Kenya). Six new synonyms are established: Phthorimaea blapsigona Meyrick, 1916 and Scrobipalpa asiri Povolný, 1980 syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa concreta (Meyrick, 1914); Scrobipalpa xylochroa Janse, 1963 and S. obsoletella hospes Povolný, 1964 syn. nov. of S. obsoletella (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1841); S. vicaria (Meyrick, 1921) syn. nov. of S. geomicta (Meyrick, 1918); and Gelechia chersophila Meyrick, 1918 syn. nov. of S. portosanctana (Stainton, 1859). The following new combinations for five species previously placed in Scrobipalpa are proposed: Ephysteris cretigena (Meyrick, 1914) comb. nov., Microlechia colasta (Meyrick, 1921) comb. nov., Schizovalva costimacula (Janse, 1951) comb. nov., Gelechia trychnophylla (Janse, 1960) comb. nov. and Trychnopalpa phalacrodes (Meyrick, 1913) comb. nov. Two species, Phthorimaea pendens Meyrick, 1918 comb. rev. and Homaloxestis ocyphanes Meyrick, 1937 comb. rev., are excluded from Scrobipalpa but no current genus is available. The male genitalia of Scrobipalpa nomias (Meyrick, 1921) are described for the first time. All species are diagnosed, some of them are redescribed based on additional material. Identification keys and photographs of adults and genitalia are provided. New or additional host plants are recorded for Scrobipalpa incola (Meyrick, 1912), S. concreta, S. portosanctana, and S. ergasima (Meyrick, 1916). Scrobipalpa incola is recorded for the first time from Namibia, Tanzania, and Kenya; S. concreta is new for Ethiopia, Sudan, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Benin and Mauritius; S. subroseata for Tanzania and Kenya; S. aptatella (Walker, 1864) and S. biljurshi Povolný, 1980 for Ethiopia; S. obsoletella and S. traganella (Chrétien, 1915) for Namibia; S. geomicta for India and Ethiopia; and S. ergasima for Benin, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Yemen.

... against many leaf-mining pests of economic importance (Shah & Pell, 2003). Various strains of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) (Sorokin) (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) (Vuillemin) (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) have been used to control the pea leaf miner, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) (Migiro et al., 2010;2011); and the tomato leaf miner, T. absoluta (Rodríguez et al., 2006;Allegrucci et al., 2017). Mating disruption implies the use of a formulated female pheromone to disrupt or regulate the mating habits of a target pest species (Cardé & Minks, 1995). ...
A leaf-mining pest occurring on commercial varieties of Vitis vinifera in South Africa was investigated due to the presence of cocoons on fruit. The leaf miner, Holocacista capensis, was reported on grapevines in 2012. Since its discovery on commercial grape varieties, control strategies have consisted solely of insecticide applications. Despite the fact that the leaf-mining habit is taxonomically diverse and considered ancient, little is generally known of leaf-mining larvae. A review was conducted in order to better understand the leaf-mining strategy and amalgamate the current knowledge of other leaf-mining insects. The general evolutionary history within the full complement of taxa that display the leaf-mining habit is discussed. The review focuses on lepidopteran leaf-mining pests and discloses the known information associated with the first report and the impact of H. capensis in the Western Cape, South Africa. As no control methods have been identified for H. capensis in vineyards, various chemical, biological and cultural control strategies adopted for other leaf-mining pests were investigated. Control options, including the use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), parasitoids, physical and cultural control measures, were considered and are discussed. Alternate control methods are pertinent for the grape-growing industry to avoid the development of the insecticide resistance that is common amongst leaf miners. This review aims to consolidate the available literature and therefore aid in the development of an integrated pest management strategy to effectively control H. capensis in infested vineyards in South Africa.
... The genus Stegasta is originally from the South American continent (Meyrick 1917). It occurs in several parts of the world and has been reported in the United States (Chambers 1875a), Mexico (Lee et al. 2009), Central and South America (Busck 1903, Landry and Roque-Albelo 2010, Meyrick 1917, Australia (Lower 1899, Meyrick 1904, Turner 1919, South-West Africa (Mey 2011), andNorth Korea (Bae et al. 2014). Stegasta bosqueella is a cosmopolitan species associated with peanut, Arachis hypogaea L., whose center of origin is South America (Gabriel 2016), but it is cultivated throughout the Americas. ...
The rednecked peanutworm, Stegasta bosqueella (Chambers), is the main lepidopteran pest in South and Central American peanut fields. The species name was misspelled earlier in the literature and the incorrect name is still more cited. In this review, we revisit the history of S. bosqueella classification. Although the rednecked peanutworm is an important defoliator in some peanut producing countries, there is scarce information on some aspects of the biology as well as plant response to this insect species. Economic threshold levels are not yet well established and, consequently, decision making is compromised. Chemical control is the main tool used to control larval infestations. Moreover, some studies on host plant resistance, biological control, and attract-and-kill strategy were conducted to control the rednecked peanutworm. These tactics were promising and could be useful to enhance a peanut integrated pest management program. We present here a review of S. bosqueella life history, biology, ecology, and management options as well as needs for enhancing the current control strategies.
... The genus is conjectured to contain numerous species still unknown, particularly in the Afrotropical region [6,7].

The Yponomeutidae of the Afrotropical region are revised. The generic name Trisophista Meyrick is restored, stat. rev. Three new synonymies are established: Trisophista pauli Viette, 1967 is a junior synonym of Yponomeuta strigillata Zeller,1852 syn. nov., Yponomeuta parvipunctus Gershenson & Ulenberg, 1998 is a junior synonym of Y. sistrophora Meyrick, 1909, and Paraswammerdamia malgasella Viette, 1954 is a junior synonym of Yponomeuta subplumbella Walsingham, 1881, syn. nov. A new genus Dukeia is described. 21 new species are described: Cedestis nathani, Kessleria africana, Swammerdamia tobii, Xyrosaris louisae, X. lucae, Yponomeuta alexi, Y. atricatoa, Y. capensis, Y. dhofarensis, Y. gnophera, Y. griseomacula, Y. ioni, Y, malagasella, Y. melanephos, Y. nephella, Y. onyxella, Y. orocola, Y. oromiensis, Y. staudei, Y. superplumbella and Y. zambesica.

Two new species of Gelechiidae: Ephysteriskullbergisp. n. from Tuva (Russia) and Ephysterisustjuzhaninisp. n. from Mongolia are described. In both species the hindwings in both sexes are distinctly reduced. The adults and genitalia are illustrated. Brachyptery in Gelechiidae and Ephysteris is briefly discussed, and type locality of E.kullbergisp. n. is illustrated. The locomotion of E.kullbergisp. n. is described.
... The generic diagnosis was subsequently improved by the description of additional characters of the head and thorax in a revision of Holarctic Litini (=Teleiodini) (Lee & Brown 2008a). Recently the genus Pseudoteleia Amsel, 1935, with two species from the Middle East, was synonymized with Istrianis and a new species was described from southern Africa (Bidzilya & Mey 2011). So, at the beginning of this study six Istrianis species were known from the Palearctic region, one species from the Oriental region, and one species from the Afrotropical region. ...
Twenty-one species of the genus Istrianis are recognized as valid in the world fauna, 11 of which are described as new: I. pseudomyricariella sp. nov. (Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan), I. nilssoni sp. nov. (Greece), I. kravchenkoi sp. nov. (Palestine), I. sattleri sp. nov. (Pakistan), I. armatus sp. nov. (Yemen), I. lvovskyi sp. nov. (Mongolia), I. sruogai sp. nov. (Turkmenistan, Tadzhikistan), I. piskunovi sp. nov. (Ukraine), I. falkovitshi sp. nov. (Turkmenistan), I. kyrgyzsquamella sp. nov. (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan), I. yemeniasquamella sp. nov. (Yemen). Teleia myricariella var. arenicolella Caradja, 1920 is re-called from synonymy of I. myricariella (Frey, 1870) and considered as a valid species: Istrianis arenicolella (Caradja, 1920) sp. rev. One new synonym is established: Teleia amilcarella Lucas, 1933 syn. nov. of I. arenicolella. One new combination is proposed: I. steganotricha (Meyrick, 1935), comb. nov. (ex Telphusa). Redescriptions and identification keys for all the Palaearctic species and for two new species from Yemen are provided, accompanied by illustrations of the adults, and male and female genitalia.
