“…Differences in the number of species of moths found likely to be caused by the diversity of plants that contribute as food resources available at each location. Especially for the species and individuals that most found in the Erebidae family, their presence is influenced by the availability of food (Damayanthi et al, 2013;Gurule & Nikam, 2013;Kirichenko et al, 2015). Some of the food that were found at the Arboretum location are the Leguminosae, Burseraceae, Malvaceae,…”

AbstrakPenelitian tentang ngengat masih sangat sedikit dilakukan di Indonesia terutama di kawasan Universitas Riau dan Desa Siabu Kampar belum ada datanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keanekaragaman fenotip ngengat berdasarkan karakter morfologi untuk mengetahui jarak genetik ngengat di kawasan Universitas Riau dan Desa Siabu. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2016 hingga Mei 2017. Lokasi pengambilan sampel terdapat di dua kawasan dengan enam lokasi yang berbeda yaitu Universitas Riau (Arboretum, Kebun FMIPA, Rusunawa) dan Desa Siabu (perumahan warga, Bukit Tentado dan hutan sekunder). Metode sampling mengunakan perangkap layar (light trap) sebagai sumber cahaya digunakan lampu mercuri merk Philips 160 watt. Bagian tubuh ngengat yang diamati adalah kepala, torak, abdomen dan sayap, jumlah karakter morfologi yang diamati adalah 24 karakter. Setiap karakter morfologi diberi skor kemudian dianalisis menggunakan program NTSYS ps versi 2.02i. Hasil yang didapat yaitu 61 spesies dengan 414 individu dari 10 famili ngengat. Keanekaragaman fenetik ngengat di Universitas Riau dan Desa Siabu berturut turut adalah 87% dan 78%. Ngengat dari kedua kawasan menunjukkan perbedaan pada karakter ukuran, namun tidak pada karakter morfologi dan warna. Terdapat adanya kemiripan sebesar 66% antara ngengat yang dikoleksi dari Universitas Riau (kebun FMIPA, rusunawa) dengan Desa Siabu (Bukit Tentado dan hutan sekunder).Abstract Research on moths is still very few in Indonesia. Especially in the area of Riau University and Siabu Kampar Village. There is no datum about moths. The objective of this research is to analyze the genetic diversity of moths in Riau University and Siabu Vilage, Riau Province based on morphological characters. The study was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017. The moths were collected from two areas with six different locations such as Riau University (arboretum of mathematics and science faculty) and Siabu Village (village residence, Tentado Hill, and secondary forest). The sampling method that used was the light trap, with 160 watts of mercury, was used as a light source. The parts of the body observed were head, thorax, abdomen, and wings with the number of morphological characters observed by 24 characters. Morphological characters were observed and scored and then analyzed using the NTSYSp c version 2.02i software. The results showed that there were 61 species with 414 individuals from 10 families of moths. The genetic diversity of moth in the Riau University and Siabu Village was 87% and 78%. Moths on both locations indicated no difference in the shape and color, but they were different in size. Moths from FMIPA garden and rusunawa had 66% genetic similarity to one from Tentado Hill and secondary forest.

“…Meeting that goal will require attention to species that often have a dull or drab appearance and that may be hard to notice when there is an abundance of other Lepidoptera at light traps. Such factors may have contributed to the absence or lack of Hepialidae from some short-term surveys of Indian Lepidoptera (e.g., Shubhalaxmi et al 2011 [one species of Endoclita], Chandra & Sambath 2013, Gurule & Nikam 2013) while a three-decade compilation of Lepidoptera in the Nainital District of Uttarakhand recovered three hepialid species (Smetacek 2008). The collection of voucher specimens, enhanced by live specimen imaging (e.g.…”

Taxonomic and biological information is reviewed for the forest Hepialidae of northeastern India, a poorly known group of moths in a region known for the global significance of its biodiversity. The taxonomic and biological characteristics are described for genera known from the northeast - Endoclita, Palpifer, and Hepialiscus. A key is provided for distinguishing these genera and the genus Thitarodes known from nearby Bhutan, China, and Nepal, which is almost certainly present within the borders of India. Taxonomic characteristics are described for 12 species from the northeast along with illustrations of the species and maps of their known distributions. Information on species distributions is extremely fragmentary and it is considered very likely that most species have more extensive distributions than currently documented. The northeastern Indian region represents a center of hepialid diversity comprising three principal distribution patterns: (i) local endemics, (ii) Himalayan, and (iii) northeastern. Comparison of distribution records and major vegetation types indicate the absence of information on the hepialid fauna for much of the northeast region. The principal challenge for future documentation and assessment of the hepialid fauna for this region, as with any other part of India, is the lack of modern descriptions of type specimens. The inclusion of voucher collections of Hepialidae in future biodiversity surveys of northeastern India is to be strongly encouraged, particularly in the context of current and future environmental impacts affecting the sustainability of forest environments in the region.

“…The perilla leaf moth, Pyrausta panopealis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is distributed in South-East Asia including China, Japan and India, and also in South America (Oh et al, 2010). The insect has earlier been reported to feed on Labiatae group of plants (Smedley et al, 1990), however, in India the pest was observed and reported based on the light trap collection (Gurule and Nikam, 2013;Raha et al, 2017). As reports on its host range, biology and incidence of the pest are meagre; the present study was carried out to investigate the pest inflicting severe foliar damage to sweet basil.…”

Aim: The present study aimed at reporting the occurrence of pest, Pyrausta panopealis on sweet basil Ocimum basilicum. The biological parameters and population dynamics of the pest was studied on its newly reported host plant. Methodology: Description of P. panopealis was done using morphological and molecular approaches. Male and female genitalia of adults were dissected for morphological identification. DNA was isolated from insect sample (adult legs) and amplified using mtCOI primers (LCO 1490; HCO 2198). The larva of P. panopealis was reared on sweet basil under laboratory conditions for observing the growth parameters. Results: Male genitalia with distinct spoon-shaped clasper; female genitalia corpus bursae with appendix bursa. The sequenced DNA product was submitted to NCBI- GenBank (Accession No: Mk559412). The mean incubation period, larval period and pupal period of the pest was 3.19 days; 13.81 days; 5.40 and 6.27 days. The total life span of male and female insects ranged from 22 to 33 days and 24 to 35 days, respectively. The fecundity of adult varied from 91 to 131 (average 111.75 eggs). The peak population of pest (11.5 larvae/ plant) was recorded during 32nd standard meteorological week, during which all the observed plants were infested by larvae of P. panopealis. Interpretation: This is the first report of association between P. panopealis and sweet basil. The data on life cycle parameters, seasonal incidence and severity can be used for developing integrated pest management strategies to P. panopealis on sweet basil. Key words: Genitalia, Perilla leaf moth, Pyrausta panopealis, Seasonal incidence, Sweet basil
