A survey was conducted to study the abundance and distribution of white grubs in three districts representing different ecological domines in the country during June-July 2010. Two light traps were installed for two nights in two locations each of Makawanpur, Tanahu and Chitwan districts, and a season long light trap was installed at Mangalpur of Chitwan district from April to September 2010 for assessing scarab beetles flight activity. The ‘simple matching coefficient' revealed high similarity >70% between two sites in each of the districts, while a similarity of 29-50% was observed between sites of different districts. The Jaccard coefficient revealed the same trend. However, coefficients were much lower, above 40% when comparing sites within a district, and below 20% when compared sites among the districts. The dominant species in Chitwan were Anomala dimidiata Hope (24%) followed by Maladera affinis Blanchard (23.75%), Anomala varicolor (Gyllenhal) Rutelinae (23%), Heteronychus lioderus Redtenbacher (14%) and Holotrichia sp (7%). The flight activity and species composition of scarab beetles in the three districts appeared to be different.

AbstractThe antler moth, Cerapteryx graminis (L.), first discovered in Newfoundland in 1966, has now successfully established itself over an area of approximately 60 km in the greater St. John’s area and surrounding localities. It has become a pest of limited economic importance in hay and pasture fields, and lawns. Black light traps, operated at Mt. Pearl and Kilbride during 1966–1978, were used to monitor population build-up. Notes on the life history of the antler moth in Newfoundland, with some comparisons with that in Great Britain and Europe, are provided. Natural controls are also discussed.

First Time

Adults of Trichoptera were collected in four sites in Santa Catarina Lachatao, Oaxaca, México, using black light traps and entomological nets. A total of 12 families, 23 genera, and 37 species were recorded. Four new species of Trichoptera: Wormaldia noveloi n. sp., Lepidostoma zapoteca n. sp., Phylloicus gomezi n. sp., and Ochrotrichia buenoi n. sp. are described and male genitalia are illustrated. Similarities and differences among these species and those in their respective genera are discussed. In addition, nineteen species are recorded for the first time for Oaxaca, bringing the number of known Trichoptera species from this state to 170. Ithytrichia, Oxyethira, and Cheumatopsyche are new generic records for Oaxaca State. Ochrotrichia nicaragua and Wormaldia palma are registered for the first time in México.

AbstractThe flight activity of adult Delia coarctata (Fall). was studied on Rothamsted Farm from 1969 to 1977 using light-traps. These catch, almost exclusively, dispersing mature females, more being caught at full moon than at new moon. Dispersal begins in response to an acceleration in the rate of decrease of daylength, and at Rothamsted begins on 10 July, soon after the rate of decrease accelerates. Maturation of eggs is controlled by temperature; at Rothamsted, the first mature females appear when temperature accumulation above 5° C has reached 314·5±10·5° after 12 June. Maturation usually coincides with dispersal, but females that have matured before 10 July do not disperse until after that date. Catches of females in light-traps are correlated with the numbers of emerging females per hectare and the numbers of eggs per hectare. Light-traps could be used as a simple way of forecasting numbers of eggs early enough to give advice on seed treatment for winter wheat on land subject to attack by D. coarctata.
