“…The insect order Lepidoptera is the second-largest insect order and this insect order consists of moths and butterflies (each is titled lepidopterans). About one hundred and eighty thousand species of the Lepidoptera are defined, in one hundred and twenty-six families and forty-six superfamilies ten percent of the whole defined classes of dwelling animals [18] [19].…”

The second largest and most well-known insect order Lepidoptera includes both butterflies and moths in the world. This study was started based on secondary information from present literature from different countries on the flora and fauna. So far, much study work was completed on this subject but those workers were not existing to the extension employees, policymakers, and the public in an efficient way to date. In this review paper, we can give the recent data on etymology, distribution and diversity, external morphology, different morphological parts of caterpillar, internal morphology, digestive system, circulatory system, reproduction and growth, respiratory system, and growth and role of the olfactive process in larval and adult lepidopteran insects. There are over one hundred and eighty thousand Lepidoptera species described, divided into one hundred and twenty-six families and forty-six superfamilies, and the total number of living beings was labeled as about ten percent. A result found is that the species of moths is about one hundred sixty thousand compared to one hundred seventy thousand five hundred species of butterflies in the world. Butterflies are an important category of insects that can function as sensors of environmental change. Butterflies are insects from the order Lepidoptera's macro-lepidopteran clade Rhopalocera. The study focused on the lepidopteran insects and the diversity of the world. It presents the review of research imperfect data on specific knowledge in diverse agroecological zones. This study acknowledged investigating breaches in different countries of the world. It also provides information on lepidopterans as alternative food and financial source of the world. It also helps in the sustainable agricultural field.

“…Pempeliella cortella is cited for northern Italy and Sardinia, while dilutella for the north of Italy and the isles, Sicily and Sardinia. Recently, P. dilutella, but still considered as inscriptella, was also recorded in an ongoing survey of the Lepidoptera fauna in central (Pinzari, 2009, Pinzari et al, 2010Pinzari and Sbordoni, 2013;Pinzari et al, 2013aPinzari et al, , 2013bPinzari et al, , 2015Pinzari, 2016aPinzari, , 2016bPinzari et al, 2016aPinzari et al, , 2016bPinzari et al, , 2017aPinzari et al, , 2017bPinzari et al, , 2018aPinzari et al, , 2018bPinzari et al, , 2019aPinzari et al, , 2019bPinzari, 2019;Pinzari & Pinzari, 2019) and southern Italy (Scalercio, 2016). According to Leraut (2001), to clarify our understanding of the distribution of these species in Italy and also verify the goodness of the historical faunistic information in the literature of the last century, we studied dissecting recentlycollected specimens in our collection and other private collections of central Italy and examining specimens from all Italian regions in ancient collections in "Museo civico di Zoologia di Roma" and "Museo di Zoologia dell'Università la Sapienza di Roma".…”

To verify the presence in Italy of Delplanqueia inscriptella, today accepted as a separate species from D. dilutella, we carried out the study of the historical collections of Carlo Prola and Federico Hartig and new material that was recently collected in central Italy. Both species are present in continental Italy and Sicily while only D. inscriptella in Sardinia. The bibliographic reconstruction and the examination of the Hartig’s specimens that revealed the presence of Delplanqueia cortella, for a long time considered a corso-sardinian endemism, is not reflected: the specimens in Hartig’s collection with P. cortella placement are indeed Pempeliella matilella.

Associations between the larval-pupal parasitoids Erycia furibunda and E. festinans (Diptera: Tachinidae) and respectively, the sympatric and syntopic butterflies Euphydryas aurinia provincialis and Melitaea cinxia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Several studies on butterfly ecology and biology of Melitaeini butterflies have been carried out in the past, however the factors affecting butterfly mortality and the role of natural enemies on population dynamics are not yet fully known. Larval survival plays a key role in determining butterfly population size and distribution range; thus, knowing the sources and variation in larval mortality is essential understanding and predicting population dynamics. Butterfly larval mortality is generally ascribed to abiotic factors, predators and parasitoids (mainly Diptera and Hymenoptera). Among Diptera, tachinids parasitize primarily larval Lepidoptera. In this paper, we report the results of 5-year observations in the wild and captivity on the tachinids, Erycia furibunda and E. festinans, parasitoids of caterpillars of a population of Euphydryas aurinia spp. provincialis and Melitaea cinxia in Central Italy revealing their host specifity. The hosts, E. aurinia and M. cinxia, and parasitoids, E. furibunda and E. festinans, inhabit the same habitat and their life cycles highly overlap, nevertheless, the parasitoids maintain their host specifity: E. furibunda as parasitoid of E. aurinia; E. festinans as parasitoid of M. cinxia. This was confirmed by our findings during the butterfly breeding activities carried out for over five years. Although the role of chemical cues in host finding requires further research, according to our observations the presence of only E. furibunda on larval webs of E. aurinia let us suppose that the mechanism by which E. furibunda locates its host could be based on olfactory cues emitted by feeding damage to host plants that act from afar. Similarly, the mechanism of host finding used by E. festinans could act to select its host, M. cinxia. Furthermore, we illustrate some diagnostic features of adults for the identification of the studied parasitoids.
