Lepidoptera pest species from eucalyptus were collected in Eucalyptus urophylla plantations in the region of Três Marias, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, every 15 days from June 1989 to June 1994 with five light traps. Twelve primary and 15 secondary pest species were collected in the period with an average of 13,387 and 812 individuals per light trap, respectively. Most collected primary pest s...

This work investigated eight species of Lepidoptera associated with Miconia calvescens DC. (Myrtales: Melastomataceae) in Brazil, including six defoliators, Salbia lotanalis Druce (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Druentia inscita Schaus (Mimallonidae), Antiblemma leucocyma Hampson (Noctuidae), three Limacodidae species, a fruit borer Carposina cardinata Meyrick (Carposinidae), and a damager of flowers...

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Aplocera efformata (the lesser treble-bar; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The sequence is 349.5 megabases in span. Most of the (99.97%) scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with W and Z sex chromosomes assembled. complete mitochondrial was also assembled 15...

In a small area around Huinay station, northern Patagonia (Chile), 75 geometrid moth species were collected at light in three subsequent nights, 87 in a short 11-day period under suboptimal weather conditions. This surprisingly high diversity is due to lack of habitat destruction and complete overlap of Valdivian and Patagonian fauna elements. An annotated neighbour joining tree of COI data (5’...

The European winter moth,Operophtera brumata (L.), an invasive forest defoliator, is undergoing a rapid range expansion in northeastern North America. The source of this invasion, and phylogeographic diversity throughout its native range, has not been explored. To do this, we used samples from a pheromone-baited trap survey of O. brumata collected across its native range in Europe, and invasive...
