A checklist of the superfamily Noctuoidea (Erebidae, Noctuidae, Euteliidae, and Nolidae) from Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve and Kodaikanal Hills in Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu is presented. We collected noctuoid moths monthly from June 2010 to December 2014. We collected 9095 individuals (5242 males and 3853 females) belonging to 188 species, 106 genera...

Summer monsoon rainfall over India depends on synoptic-scale phenomena like lows and depressions. India's summer monsoon season 2020 saw above-average rainfall. North Indian Ocean had 12 LPAs in summer 2020 in JJAS season. This monsoon season has the highest all-India rainfall since 1976 in August 2020. 50% of seasonal LPAs emerged in August 2020,...
As the species Haploclastusdevamatha Prasanth & Jose, 2014 is indistinguishable from Thrigmopoeuspsychedelicus Sanap & Mirza, 2014, the latter is herein considered junior synonym of the former. Occurrence of polychromatism in H.devamatha is noted, and two distinct colour morphs of the species are recognised, a pink form and a blue form. The natural...

... The specimens were then killed using ethyl acetate, dried, pinned and stored in an airtight insect box. Moths were identified using the literature of Hampson G.F. (1894), Singh et al. (2017) [12] and Sivasankaran et al. (2017) [13] . The taxonomic arrangement of the moth followed Zahiri et al. (2010) [9] and Van Nieukerken et al. ...

Mocis undata (Fabricius), commonly called brown-striped semilooper, feeds on many economically important plants and crops such as longkong, citrus, pomelo, soybean, Shorea, Hevea, Gossypium, Nephelium, Solanum etc. Here, we report pupal parasitism by the parasitoid Brachymeria lasus with a detailed biology of Mocis undata from Kerala, India.
... The classification and sequences of the subfamilies followed is as perKononenko & Pinratana (2013);Zahiri et al., 2011 Zahiri et al., , 2012. The distribution and larval host plants have been consulted fromHampson (1894; 1895); Shubhalaxmi et al., (2011); Gurule & Nikam (2013); Smetacek (2008) andSivasankaran et al., (2017). ...
The present study was taken up with an aim to document the diversity of Erebid moth from Lonavala, Maharashtra. A total of 44 species of 36 genera in 10 subfamilies belonging to Erebidae, Lepidoptera have been reported. It was a part of a short project conducted by the Green Skilled Development Programme (GSDP) students of the certificate course on para-taxonomy [including Peoples Bio-diversity Register (PBRs)] at Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), Western Regional Centre (WRC), Pune. This article also presents a new distribution and range extension of Calesia sp. One endemic moth, Olepa clavatus (Swinhoe, 1885) is also reported from the studied site. Additionally, the data on type species, type locality along with their distributional record from India and outside India, bionomics for each species are also presented.

Dans le contexte actuel de la transition agroécologique, il convient de proposer des solutions innovantes de biocontrôle contre les insectes ravageurs économiques agricoles. Certaines espèces comme Eudocima phalonia Linné, un papillon piqueur de fruit autrefois considéré comme un ravageur occasionnel en Nouvelle-Calédonie est devenu, ces dernières années, un ravageur économique important et récurrent. Les méthodes actuellement disponibles sont inadaptées ou financièrement hors de portée de certains agriculteurs (comme pour les filets) et fait particulièrement défaut pendant les épisodes de pullulation. Bien que l’utilisation de filet soit actuellement recommandée, ils ne permettent qu’un contrôle ponctuel et non durable de cette espèce. Parmi les solutions de demain, l’identification de molécules odorantes telles que les kairomones qui déclenchent un comportement d’attraction chez un insecte cible, donne la perspective d’utiliser ces molécules en tant que pièges olfactifs. C’est le principe de l’Écologie Chimique. Après avoir réalisé un état de l’art complet d’E. phalonia (ainsi que le cortège secondaire qui l’accompagne), une méthode d’élevage a été mise au point pour s’affranchir de la saisonnalité de l’espèce et pour actualiser la biologie du ravageur. Il a aussi permis d’évaluer la réponse antennaire et le comportement du papillon en laboratoire en fonction de plusieurs odeurs : (i) l’odeur capturée in situ pour neuf fruits, (ii) l’odeur de cinquante composé olfactifs testés individuellement selon deux concentrations et (iii) l’odeur de 84 formulations comprenant plusieurs de ces composés. Les résultats ont amené à sélectionner cinq solutions olfactives élaborées en laboratoire pour des tests en condition semi-contrôlées et en plein champ. Une solution « olfacticide » laisse apparaître des perspectives d’utilisation pour la mise en place d’une stratégie de lutte pour laquelle ces travaux doivent être poursuivi et approfondis.
... Diagnostic attributes of the genus were discussed in detail by Holloway (2005), whereas, the information on genitalic studies of the Indian species is still lacking. Presently, the genus is known by a total of 50 species from the world, out of which only 11 species are known from India (Holloway, 2005;Branham, 2008, 2008a;Subhalaxmi et al., 2011;Sivasankaran and Ignacimuthu, 2014;Sivasankaran et al., 2017). In this manuscript, four species viz., Eudocima homaena (Hübner), Eudocima hypermnestra (Stoll), Eudocima materna (Linnaeus) and Eudocima phalonia (Linneaus) have been collected and studied from Bihar and Jharkhand. ...
