The richness and abundance of the assemblage of species in a community are a way to understand the patterns of diversity found around the world. This study describes the assemblages of Saturniidae and Sphingidae in an area of Montana Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, Tijucas do Sul, Paraná, Brazil, 880m, 25º50'8.93"S, 49º 02'55.20"W. Samples were collected between November 2010 and September 2011 during two nights at the twelve new moons periods with a light trap equipped with black light lamp (ultraviolet) of 46 watts between two mercury mixed-light lamps HWL 250 watts from 6:00 p.m to 06:00 a.m. The sampling effort totaled 288 hours. This sampling effort was responsible for the capture of 1235 specimens, distributed in 124 species: 858 specimens and 86 species of Saturniidae, and 377 specimens and 38 species of Sphingidae. It is noteworthy the sampling of 10 new species: one of Automerella Michener, 1949, two of Hylesia Hübner, [1820], one of Lonomia Walker, 1855 and six of Periga Walker, 1855, that will be described.

Several types of light traps are being used in different European countries to help determine the potential vector species of blue­tongue virus (BTV). The four traps compared in this study were: i) the Onderstepoort trap – black light trap, with 8 W ultraviolet light tube used in the United Kingdom and Italy; ii) mini-CDC – black light, model 912, with 4 W UV light tube, used in Spain and Portugal; iii) Rieb trap, white light model, with 4 W UV light tube, used from 2000 to 2006 in France; iv) UK trap, with 4 W standard white incandescent bulb, used in the past in the UK and other European countries for African horse sickness surveillance. All traps included a downdraught suction fan. Tests were conducted from 18 Oct. to 19 Nov. 2007, from 18 Feb. to 4 June 2008, and from 1 Oct. to 28 Nov. 2008. During at least nine non-consecutive nights the traps were placed following a randomized block design in four different positions on a cattle farm located on the island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). In 2008, only three traps (Onderstepoort, UK and mini-CDC) were tested. Results showed major differences in collecting Culicoides. The Onderstepoort trap showed the best performance in terms of total number of Culicoides captured in autumn both in 2007 and 2008. The UK trap, and especially the Rieb trap showed the lowest efficacy in terms of captures. In autumn 2008, the Onderstepoort trap cap­tured on average 90 Culicoides per night, whereas the mini-CDC captured on average 27. During spring 2008, however, the mini- CDC performed better as it captured on average 180 Culicoides per night, against 84 captured by the Onderstepoort. However, Fisher’s least significant difference test showed no statistically sig­nificant differences between the traps (P < 0.05). No remarkable difference was observed between the four traps as they all cap­tured a similar range of species. Captures of Culicoides newsteadi were greater during the autumn, and those of C. obsoletus in the spring. Finally, the Onderstepoort trap showed a higher sensitiv­ity in catching Culicoides midges in low population levels of the vector, especially during the winter season.

AbstractA method is described for sampling aquatic insects using black light. Trap design, description of its placement, and conversion to a fumigator is explained. Total numbers of emerging insects captured by aquatic light trap are given and compared with catches in surface and bottom cone traps. Overall effectiveness of the black light trap is discussed.

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.

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.
