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.

Low Efficiency

Till today, the light traps in Nepal are found using with traditional type, which have not being recognized internationally. These light traps were of low efficiency for trapping insects as compared to black light trap (BLT). The black light tube (F10T8/BL) was used in newly constructed trap at National Maize Research Program (NMRP), Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal. Both traps were installed at the maize experimental field at NMRP during February to October, 2017. Data on insect numbers were recorded once in a week from dusk to down in two different days to minimize the light effects of each others. The total number of insects trapped in BLT was 2804 as compared to 868 in traditional light trap (TLT). Among the insect orders, Coleopterans were mostly trapped in BLT followed by Lepidopteron and Hemipterans. The results showed that the trapping efficiency of BLT was three fold higher than that of TLT. Therefore, black light trap was highly effective monitoring tool and its field applications are expected to be commercialized.

This study reports the occurrence of the adults of Phyllophaga spp. and other major scarab species in three different geographic regions of Alabama. Thirty-three species of Phyllophaga were found during the trapping study. Five species accounted for 97% of the specimens of Phyllophaga trapped in Marion Junction: P. crinita (Burmeister), P. forbesi (Glasgow), P. hirtiventris (Horn), P. mississippiensis Davis, and P. perlonga Davis. Two species accounted for 55% of the specimens trapped in Camp Hill: P. micans (Knoch) and P. hirticula (Knoch). At Winfield, P. crenulata (Froelich), P. ephilida (Say), P. latifrons LeConte, P. micans, and P. quercus (Knoch) were the most abundant species, making up 49% of the specimens. Of these 11 most abundant species, 5 species were collected in spring (March, April and/or May): P. crenulata, P. hirticula, P. micans, P. mississippiensis, and P. perlonga. Phyllophaga hirtiventris adults were collected in late May–June. Adults of P. crinita were collected in June and early July, and were abundant in each year, suggesting that the species has an annual life cycle in Alabama. Phyllophaga ephilida, P. forbesi, P. forbesi, P. latifrons and P. quercus adults were collected in mid-summer (June, July and/or August). Six species of Phyllophaga found during this study have not been previously reported from Alabama: P. bipartita Horn, P. congrua (LeConte), P. hirtiventris, P. mississippiensis, P. praetermissa (Horn), and P. soror Davis. Cyclocephala lurida Bland, Dyscinetus morator (F.), Euetheola humilis rugiceps (LeConte), and Ligyrus gibbosus gibbosus (DeGeer), other potential pests of grasses, were abundant in the black-light traps. The dung beetle, Onthophagus gazella F., an African species that was purposely introduced into the United States, was abundant at all three sites.

For several years the writer has studied the effects of variations in insect light trap designs on the species and numbers of insects captured. Among these variations are the value of baffles. During the summer of 1957 two traps were operated adjacent to each other in State College. The positions of these traps were alternated every other night. One trap, which has been designated as the Pennsylvania insect-light trap with four interesting baffles, 5 × 20 inches, a 12-inch funnel and a 15-watt black-light fluorescent lamp, was used. The other trap was similar except the baffles were omitted and the trap was held together by means of four small wires.
