“…Differences in the number of setae on the frenulum in males and females have also been described in Tortricidae Rota et al 2009;Monsalve et al 2011) and Pseudobiston pinratanai Inoue, 1994 (Geometridae) (Rajaei et al 2015). In H. armigera, only one seta is present in males, while females have a pair of setae.…”

Morphological Characterization of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae)

The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is a widespread lepidopteran pest found in various crops worldwide. This highly polyphagous species, commonly found both in the Old and New World, has caused significant economic damage as an invasive agricultural pest in Brazil since 2013. The goal of the present study is to provide a detailed morphological assessment of adults and immature stages of H. armigera, as this species is often confused with H. zea (Boddie), a congeneric species that is native to the New World. The biology data were acquired during four full life cycles, and observations on general behavior, nocturnal habits of larvae and adults, and sensitivity of larvae to humidity were recorded. Larval chaetotaxy differs between the first and the remaining instars, which bear L2 on the meso- and metathorax and L3 on A3 through A6, along with conspicuous chalazae and longitudinal bands. Important morphological characters of this species include the following: eggs with four micropylar openings, lined with 12 cells arranged in the shape of a rosette; pupa adecticous and obtect, with prominent spiracles; adults with the distal antennomere striate. Adults exhibit sexual dimorphism in the number of setae on the frenulum and spines on the prothoracic leg. Illustrations of the critical morphological features of this species are provided.

“…The Ecdytolopha group (Clade II‐C) was originally defined by Adamski and Brown (2001) to include Ecdytolopha , Gymnandrosoma , Pseudogalleria , Thaumatotibia and Cryptophlebia , which are at the base of Komai's (1999) “ Grapholita genus group”. Most members are large species, many with a distinct pretornal patch on the forewing, a female frenulum with three spines (Rota et al., 2009), the accessory cell of the forewing small or absent and a short discal cell in the male hindwing (Komai, 1999); the larvae usually lacking an anal fork, and the L pinaculum on T1 elongate, extending below the spiracle (Adamski and Brown, 2001). Members of the group are distributed nearly worldwide, occurring on every continent except Antarctica.…”

“…Cladogram of the tribe Grapholitini in the Palaearctic region from Komai (1999). Rota et al (2009) found that the number of spines in the female frenulum was reduced from three to two in many Grapholitini, suggesting that "this character may be of phylogenetic significance, but an overall pattern is not immediately obvious". Komai (1999) had previously recognized this feature as a synapomorphy for Andrioplecta + Strophedra, but the character state is widespread in many species of Grapholita, Pammene and others.…”

The leaf‐roller moth tribe Grapholitini comprises about 1200 described species and contains numerous notorious pests of fruits and seeds. The phylogeny of the tribe has been little studied using contemporary methods, and the monophyly of several genera remains questionable. In order to provide a more robust phylogenetic framework for the group, we conducted a multiple‐gene phylogenetic analysis of 104 species representing 27 genera of Grapholitini and 29 outgroup species. Divergence time, ancestral area, and host plant usage were also inferred to explore evolutionary trends in the tribe. Our analyses indicate that Larisa and Corticivora, traditionally assigned to Grapholitini, are best excluded from the tribe. After removal of these two genera, the tribe is found to be monophyletic, represented by two major lineages—a Dichrorampha clade and a Cydia clade, the latter of which can be divided into seven generic groups. The genus Grapholita was found to be polyphyletic, comprising three different clades, and we propose three genera to accommodate these groups: Grapholita (sensu stricto), Aspila (formerly a subgenus of Grapholita) and Ephippiphora (formerly considered a synonym of Grapholita). We summarize each generic group, including related genera not included in our analysis, providing morphological, pheromone and food plant characters that support particular branches within the molecular hypotheses. Biogeographical analyses indicate that Grapholitini probably originated in the Nearctic, Afrotropical and Neotropical regions in the Lutetian of the middle Eocene (ca. 44.3 Ma). Our results also indicate that most groups in Grapholitini originated from Fabaceae‐feeding monophagous or oligophagous ancestors, and that host plant shifts probably promoted species diversification within the tribe.

“…0.63 length of forewing; M-stem well developed; chorda absent; CuA 2 originating ca. 0.75 length of discal cell; male without forewing costal fold; hindwing with Rs and M 1 originating distant from each other, CuA 1 and M 3 short-stalked; male frenulum with one bristle, female with three (as in most other Enarmoniini; see Rota et al 2009). Abdomen: Unmodified, lacking conspicuous secondary scales.…”

One new genus, Concinocordis (Enarmoniini), and 13 new species, Phtheochroa aarviki (Cochylini), Endothenia ator(Bactrini), Concinocordis wilsonarum, Anthozela psychotriae (both Enarmoniini), Cosmetra podocarpivora, Cosmetrataitana, Gypsonoma scolopiae (all Eucosmini), Thaumatotibia salaciae, Cydia connara, Cydia sennae, Fulcrifera crota-lariae, Stenentoma sorindeiae, and Thylacogaster garcinivora (all Grapholitini), are described and illustrated. All speci-mens of these new species were reared from native fruit in Kenya. Two new combinations are proposed, Cydia anthracotis(Meyrick) (transferred from “Laspeyresia”) and Cosmetra nereidopa (Meyrick) (transferred from Sycacantha), and the female genitalia of Anthozela chrysoxantha Meyrick are illustrated for the first time.
