2. On taxonomy and hosts of Leptostylum Macquart, 1851 (Diptera: Tachinidae: Blondeliini), with description of a new species and a new host record.

Author: Gudin, Filipe Macedo and Messas, Yuri Fanchini
Subjects: *BIOLOGICAL classification, *DIPTERA, *TACHINIDAE, *PEST control, *FLIES
Abstract: Tachinid flies are well known as being parasitoids of arthropods, mostly insects. Because of this, there is great economic interest in the biological control of pests using tachinids. Host records for Tachinidae, however, are still scarce, especially in the Neotropical region. A new species of the Neotropical genus Leptostylum Macquart was reared from Automeris naranja Schaus (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), a new host record, in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil. Leptostylum oligothrix Gudin and Messas sp. nov. is herein described, including diagnosis and the first illustration of female terminalia for the genus. Additionally, illustrations and remarks on type material of Leptostylum deposited at Museu de Zoologia de São Paulo (MZSP) are made, a taxonomic catalogue of Leptostylum is provided, and a host record is detailed, including a host catalogue for the genus. www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C54E5F46-B9D5-49CE-A0C9-D260F2896662 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Macadamia integrifolia Maiden and Betche (Proteaceae), a New Host Plant Record for Automeris zozine (Druce 1886)1 from a Cloud Forest at Veracruz State, Mexico.

Author: Hernández-Baz, Fernando, González, Jorge M., Camargo, María Carmen Núñez, Sánchez, Ángel E. Núñez, and Bobadilla, Gerardo Castro
Subjects: *AUTOMERIS, *INSECT host plants, *FAGACEAE, *ANACARDIACEAE, *DEFOLIATION, *RUBIACEAE
Abstract: Automeris zozine (Druce) is a silk moth in the family Saturniidae whose larvae typically defoliate plants in the Fagaceae, Fabaceae, and Anacardiaceae families, but little is known about other host plants. We documented the species defoliating Macadamia integrifolia Maiden and Betche (Proteaceae) associated with a plantation of coffee ( Coffea spp., Rubiaceae) in a mountainous mesophyll forest at Veracruz, Mexico.

4. Size, spines and crochets: defences of luna moth caterpillars against predation by brown anoles.

Author: Sourakov, Andrei
Subjects: *CATERPILLARS, *BROWN anole, *INSECT ecology, *PREDATION, *BODY size
Abstract: Field-testing predator-prey interactions between invasive exotic brown anole lizards and sentinel larvae of the luna moth, Actias luna, suggests that late instars of this saturniid, and perhaps many other saturniids, are well defended by their spines and crochets against predation by lizards. However, Actias luna larvae remain vulnerable to anole predation until they reach about 3 cm in length. In contrast, even relatively small caterpillars that are chemically defended, such as those of the io moth, Automeris io, and the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, were shown to be well defended against anoles by their toxins. There is an obvious advantage for caterpillars to be chemically defended. However, there is also a tradeoff: Danaus plexippus are restricted to feeding on a relatively small group of plants, which limits resources and requires specialisation; in polyphagous Automeris io, the constant production of elaborate spines and toxin leads to prolonged larval development, which is at least twice as long as that of Actias luna, and exposes the caterpillars to mortality factors such as parasitism for a longer duration.

5. Larvas urticantes de Automeris Hübner, 1819 (Lepidoptera:Saturniidae) en Cajanus cajan (L.): un riesgo para la salud de productores en Panamá

Author: Santos Murgas, Alonso, Jerkovic, Maricsa, Atencio V, Randy, Collantes G, Rubén D, Santos Murgas, Alonso, Jerkovic, Maricsa, Atencio V, Randy, and Collantes G, Rubén D
Abstract: Objective. To Identify the stinging larvae species complex of the genus Automeris (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), associated with pigeon pea crops (Cajanus cajan (L.)); that represent a health risk for farmers in Panama. Methods. The study is descriptive and exploratory. During the second semester of 2022, trips were made in areas with pigeon pea crops in the provinces of Coclé, Herrera, Veraguas and Chiriquí. A photographic record was kept and specimens were collected, which were prepared with boiling water and then deposited in glass vials with 70% ethanol. The laboratory identification of the specimens was made by consulting specialized literature. Results. Three larvae species of the genus Automeris associated with pigeon pea crops were identified: Automeris zozine Druce, 1886 and Automeris dagmarae Brechlin & Meister, 2011 in the province of Chiriquí; Automeris io Fabricius, 1775 in the province of Coclé. The genus Automeris belongs to the subfamily Hemileucinae; which includes several species of poisonous larvae that can represent a health risk, such as Lonomia obliqua Walker, 1855, commonly known as the assassin caterpillar. Conclusions. At least three species of stinging larvae of the genus Automeris (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Hemileucinae) were identified, which represent a farmers’ health risk in Panama., Objetivo. Identificar el complejo de especies de larvas urticantes del género Automeris (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), asociadas al cultivo de guandú (Cajanus cajan (L.)); que representan un riesgo para la salud de los productores en Panamá. Métodos. El estudio es de naturaleza descriptiva y exploratoria. Durante el segundo semestre del año 2022, se realizaron incursiones en áreas cultivadas con guandú en las provincias de Coclé, Herrera, Veraguas y Chiriquí. Se llevó un registro fotográfico y se realizaron colectas de especímenes, los cuales fueron preparados con agua hirviendo para luego ser depositados en viales de vidrio con etanol al 70%. La identificación se realizó en el laboratorio, consultando literatura especializada. Resultados. Se identificaron tres especies de larvas del género Automeris asociadas al cultivo de guandú: Automeris zozine Druce, 1886 y Automeris dagmarae Brechlin & Meister, 2011 en la provincia de Chiriquí; Automeris io Fabricius, 1775 en la provincia de Coclé. El género Automeris pertenece a la subfamilia Hemileucinae; la cual comprende varias especies de larvas venenosas que pueden poner en riesgo la salud de las personas, como Lonomia obliqua Walker, 1855, conocida comúnmente como la oruga asesina. Conclusiones. Se identificaron por lo menos tres especies de larvas urticantes del género Automeris (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Hemileucinae), las cuales representan un riesgo para la salud de los productores en Panamá.

Author: Becker, V. O. and Becker, V. O.
Abstract: The identity of Automeris ophthalmica Moore, 1883, sp. rev. is recognized, based on a specimen reared from alarva that matched the description and illustration of the one from which the female holotype was reared. Thisfinding makes Pseudautomeris ophthalmica (Moore), the senior synonym of the following names: Automeriscoronis Schaus, 1913, syn. n., Automeris parametea Bouvier, 1936, syn. n., and Automeris coronoides Bouvier,1936, syn. n., Se reconoce la identidad de Automeris opthalmica Moore, 1883, sp. rev. basándose en un macho criado deuna oruga idéntica a la que resultó la hembra que sirvió de base para la descripción de la especie. Estedescubrimiento hace de Pseudautomeris ophthalmica (Moore, 1883), sp. rev., el sinónimo más antiguo de Automeris coronis Schaus, 1913, syn. n., Automeris parametea Bouvier, 1936, syn. n., y Automeris coronoidesBouvier, 1936, syn. n.

Abstract: The Saturniidae is one of the most emblematic families of moths, comprising nearly 3000 species distributed globally. In this study, DNA barcode analysis and comparative morphology were combined to describe three new species within the genusAutomeris, which is the most diverse genus in the family.Automeris llanerosDecaëns, Rougerie & Bonilla,sp. nov.,Automeris minerosDecaëns, Rougerie & Bonilla,sp. nov., andAutomeris belemensisDecaëns, Rougerie & Bénéluz,sp. nov.are described from the Colombian Orinoco watershed, the Colombian Eastern Cordillera, and the area of endemism of Belém in the Brazilian Amazonia, respectively. They all belong to theAutomeris bilinea(Walker, 1855) species subgroup, which comprises a number of species that are sometimes difficult to distinguish from each other using morphology alone. Here, the description of these three new species is based on significant differences from their closest relatives, either in terms of wing patterns, genitalia, DNA barcodes or a combination of these features.

39. Experimental evidence for polyphenism in Automeris io (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) in north Florida.

Author: Sourakov, Andrei, St Laurent, Ryan A., Dexter, Kelly, and Doll, Cassandra
Subjects: *LEPIDOPTERA, *AUTOMERIS, *DIAPAUSE
Abstract: We tested anecdotal evidence that Automeris io is a polyphenic species in the southeastern United States by using a splitbrood design experiment involving five broods and over 150 individuals. We split each brood into two groups, one that underwent diapause and one that did not. We achieved 100% diapause in the diapausing group by rearing larvae under the ambient light and temperature conditions of October-November in Gainesville, Florida. We eliminated diapause in the second experimental group by rearing larvae in the lab under 24 hr-light conditions at 25°C. The yellow ground color of the forewings and the corresponding hind wing margin colors were displayed by 100% of the males in the non-diapausing group (N=34). In contrast, the orange or tawny color on the forewing and the corresponding hind wing margin was obtained in 90% of the diapausing males (N=50), which emerged throughout the following summer. There were no obvious differences between diapausing and non-diapausing females. Thus we established a correlation between diapause and sex-limited polyphenism, which appear to have similar or perhaps identical initiating trigger(s). However, this experiment and other evidence suggest that the diapause is not the trigger for the expression of polyphenism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The light-attracted silk moths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) of the Boraceia Biological Station in the municipality of Salesópolis, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil have been sampled over more than seven decades (1942-2013). A total of 6,288 individuals (including a gynandromorph) belonging to five subfamilies, 46 genera and 133 species were identified. Hemileucinae was the most abundant and speciesrich subfamily, followed by Ceratocampinae, Arsenurinae, Saturniinae, and Oxyteninae. Hylesia Hübner, Automeris Hübner, and Dirphiopsis Bouvier (Hemileucinae) were the dominant genera in abundance and species richness. Only Automeris illustris (Walker), Gamelia remissoides Lemaire, and Hidripa paranensis (Bouvier) (Hemileucinae) were recorded in all months of sampling. Hylesia metapyrrha (Walker) was the most abundant saturniid species recorded at the station, with 375 specimens, followed by Hylesia oratex Dyar with 265 specimens, Dirphia muscosa Schaus with 261 specimens (all Hemileucinae); Copaxa canella Walker (Saturniinae) with 232 specimens, and Lonomia cf. obliqua Walker (Hemileucinae) with 106 specimens. Fifteen additional species were each represented by more than 100 specimens. The importance of the Boraceia Biological Station to the maintenance of the saturniid moth diversity in the Atlantic Forest is discussed.

We also correlated the incidence rate with anthropic impact rates in all Brazilian municipalities, taking as a reference the Human Footprint Index. The victim presented erucism, burning pain, itching, and local hyperthermia. The highest incidence rates were in southern Brazil. We suggest including A. egeus in the Brazilian list of animals with medical importance, and that Brazilian Ministry of Health indicates the genus of the animals involved in envenomation events on its platform.

44. LARVAE OF IO MOTH, AUTOMERIS IO, ON THE CORAL BEAN, ERYTHRINA HERBACEA, IN FLORIDA--THE LIMITATIONS OF POLYPHAGY.

Author: SOURAKOV, ANDREI
Subjects: *AUTOMERIS, *ERYTHRINA, *INSECT-plant relationships, *INSECT larvae, *CLASSIFICATION of insects
Abstract: The coral bean, Erythrina herbacea, is reported as a new host for Automeris io in north-central Florida, based on a single batch of larvae found on this plant in nature and reared through on it in the laboratory. However, the consequent laboratory rearing showed a high cost associated with using this host plant. The mortality of young larvae of the F-2 generation reared on E. herbacea was very high (over 90%), and much higher than that of control larvae, which were reared on mature leaves of Quercus nigra (14-38%). The leaves of E. herbacea, known for their toxic alkaloids, were extracted with methanol, made into a water solution, applied on the mature leaves of Q. nigra, and fed to 1st instars of A. io. This produced no negative effect on the caterpillars. While the mature leaves of Q. nigra produced low mortality in young caterpillars, the young terminal leaves of this plant were as lethal to A. io as leaves of E. herbacea. Additionally, it was noted that rearing larvae on E. herbacea (a diet with a higher N2 content) led to faster larval development and smaller adult moths. The A. io larvae in this study developed during 63-100 days and underwent seven larval instars, which contradicts many popular accounts of the fifth instar being the final in A. io. Finally, Prunus angustifolia proved to be an unsuitable hostplant for A. io, as feeding on this species led to the arrested development of larvae and their eventual death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

45. Actividades enzimáticas en aislamientos bacterianos de tractos digestivos de larvas y del contenido de pupas de Automeris zugana y Rothschildia lebeau (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae).

Subjects: *BACTERIA, *CATERPILLARS, *AUTOMERIS, *KASSINA, *HYDROGEN-ion concentration
Abstract: The enzymatic activities of bacteria isolated from the digestive tracts of caterpillars and the pupal contents of Automeris zugana and Rothschildia lebeau was studied. This digestive tract represents an extreme microenvironment due to its high pH and presence of antimicrobial substances secreted by the insect or derived from ingested plant tissue. At the same time, it contains large amounts of nutrient-rich food, for which microbes may compete among themselves and with the caterpillar. There is little information about the microbiota associated with tropical caterpillar guts, although bacteria from different genera have been isolated from gut and pupae samples. The study of the enzymatic activities generated by these organisms constitutes a starting point to understand their metabolic and physiological relationships with their hosts, and to find enzymes that have potential biotechnological applications. In this study we evaluated several enzymatic activities in two collections of bacteria isolated from caterpillar guts and pupae of the tropical lepidopteran species A. zugana and R. lebeau. Bacteria grown under aerobic conditions were tested for an array of enzymes, including gelatinases, caseinases, lipases, esterases, cellulases, xylanases, amylases and chitinases. Both collections displayed similar patterns of enzymatic activity. No isolate showed activity for all enzymatic tests, but as a whole, at least some bacteria in each collection were able to degrade each substrate tested. Isolates with the same taxonomic identification obtained from caterpillar guts and pupae had almost the same enzymatic activities. In both collections, it was possible to group bacterial isolates according to their enzyme activity pattern. In addition to a heterogeneous ensemble of isolates exhibiting two or less enzymatic activities, there were two groups with at least five activities that showed an apparent specialization for the substrates they were able to use. The first consisted exclusively of isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which were positive for lipolytic and chitinolytic activities, but completely lacked amylasic, cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities. The second group, composed mainly of Gram-positive rods, exhibited the opposite pattern: they were positive for amylasic, cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities, lacked chitinolytic activity and had few isolates with lipolytic activity. This work forms the foundation for future research to explore the biotechnological potential of bacterial isolates from caterpillar guts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. Extraction and chromatographic determination of shikimic acid and gallic acid in Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi and in feces of the associated predatory caterpillar Automeris sp

Subjects: Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, Automeris, Cromatografia líquida, Química dos Produtos Naturais, Extração
Abstract: O ácido chiquímico possui alto valor de mercado, pois é o precursor do fármaco Fosfato de Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), um dos poucos fármacos disponíveis no mercado para tratamento da gripe A (H1N1). Tal substância é extraída comercialmente apenas do anis estrelado chinês (Illicium verum Hook.f.), sendo necessário buscar novas fontes desta matéria prima. Neste contexto, buscou-se desenvolver um processo utilizando conceito de química verde, onde lagartas predadoras do gênero Automeris sp. foram alimentadas com folhas de Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, com objetivo de aumentar a concentração do ácido chiquímico na nova matriz, as fezes das lagartas. Para quantificar os ácidos chiquímico e gálico, nas folhas e fezes, nas etapas de otimização da extração e purificação foi desenvolvido um método cromatográfico via Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência com detector de Arranjo de Diodos (CLAE- DAD). A extração dos ácidos das matrizes foi otimizada ajustando as condições temperatura, tempo, granulometria, diluição e os extratores Soxhlet e autoclave. O método desenvolvido e otimizado, por CLAE-DAD, foi rápido, seletivo, preciso e robusto nas condições avaliadas. Dentre os fatores avaliados na etapa de extração, o que mais influenciou foi a temperatura, com a condição ótima a 110oC, com uso de autoclave. A máxima concentração nesta condição, para o ácido chiquímico foi de 3,7% m/m nas fezes e de 2,9% m/m nas folhas, evidenciando o aumento da concentração do ácido chiquímico nas fezes das lagartas em relação as folhas. Os dois ácidos foram separados com eficiência, através de uma extração em fase sólida, na qual extrato aquoso foi efluído através de uma coluna recheada com uma mistura de carvão ativado e sílica-gel. Para entender o processo foram determinadas as isotermas de adsorção, em fluxo, para os dois ácidos, sendo que a capacidade máxima de adsorção de ácido chiquímico, igual a 7,459 mg.g -1 , e do ácido gálico sendo igual a 55,780 mg.g -1 , calculadas pelo modelo de isoterma de Langmuir. Palavras-chave: Extração. Cromatografia Líquida. Schinus Terebinthifolius Raddi. Automeris. Shikimic acid has a high market value because it is the precursor of the drug Oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu®), one of the few drugs available for the treatment of influenza A (H1N1). Such substance is extracted commercially only from Chinese star anise (Illicium verum Hook.f.), and it is necessary to search for new sources of this raw material. In this context, we sought to develop a process using the concept of green chemistry, where predatory caterpillars of the genus Automeris sp. were fed leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi in order to increase the shikimic acid concentration in the new matrix, caterpillar feces. In order to quantify the shikimic and gallic acids in the leaves and feces, in the extraction and purification optimization stages, a chromatographic method via High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diodes Array Detector (CLAE-DAD) was developed. The extraction of acids from the matrices was optimized by adjusting the temperature, time, grain size, dilution conditions and the Soxhlet and autoclave extractors. The method developed and optimized by CLAE-DAD was fast, selective, accurate and robust under the evaluated conditions. Among the factors evaluated in the extraction stage, the one that most influenced was the temperature, with the optimal condition at 110oC, with the use of autoclave. The maximum concentration in this condition for shikimic acid was 3.7% w/w in in caterpillar feces and 2.9% w/w in leaves, showing an increase in the concentration of shikimic acid in the feces in relation to the leaves. The two acids were efficiently separated by solid phase extraction, in which aqueous extract was effected through a column filled with a mixture of activated carbon and silica gel. In order to understand the process, the adsorption isotherms in flux were determined for both acids, with the maximum adsorption capacity of shikimic acid equal to 7,459 mg.g -1 and gallic acid being 55,780 mg.g -1 , calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model.

47. Biology of Automeris jucunda (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae, Hemileucinae) with taxonomic notes on A. hamata subgroup

Author: Lorenzo Comoglio and Luigi Racheli
Subjects: life history, Ecology, biology, Saturniid moth, Paleontology, Schizolobium parahyba, South America, biology.organism_classification, immature stages, Lepidoptera genitalia, erucism, Hemileucinae, Saturniidae, food plants, Insect Science, Automeris, Botany, Instar, Taxonomy (biology), Rubus fruticosus, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, preimaginal instars
Abstract: A female of Automeris jucunda (Cramer, 1779) was collected during a field expedition to Otanche, Colombia. The rearing of this species was conducted in captivity, in situ and in the laboratory, on different food plants as the larvae revealed to be polyphagous. In Colombia, the larval phase lasted six weeks on Schizolobium parahyba S. F. Blake, 1919 (Fabaceae), a natural host plant of A. jucunda . Instead, in the laboratory the larval phase lasted more than eight weeks on Rubus fruticosus Linnaeus, 1753 (Rosaceae), a replacement food plant for this species. The gregarious larvae developed between five to six instars and can also cause erucism. The immature stages of A. jucunda are described together with food plants. Furthermore, short taxonomic notes on the A. hamata subgroup, which includes A. jucunda , are provided.
