“…La especie M. latipes es un insecto polífago y voraz que se alimenta de pastos forrajeros, avena, algodón, soya, trigo, maíz, sorgo, alfalfa, caña de azúcar, arroz y algunas plantas silvestres (Lourenção et al, 1982;Cruz y Santos, 1983;Lübeck et al, 1995;Zanuncio et al, 1995;Gallo et al, 2002;Kahl et al, 2018). En el Continente de América, su distribución abarca del norte de Canadá hasta Brazil (Cruz y Santos, 1983;Silva et al, 1991;Assunção-Albuquerque et al, 2010;Claudino et al, 2021).…”

Background. Cultivation of forage grasses is an important component in the dual-purpose cattle production system; however, insect pests can decrease fresh material yields. Objective. To taxonomically identify the causal agent that damages the cultivars Panicum maximum (Jacq.) cv. Mombasa and Panicum maximum cv. Zuri. Methodology. In two locations in the central region of Veracruz, specimens of an insect in the larval and pupal stages were collected using the quadrant method in an area of 50 ha. Subsequently, in the laboratory, larvae were boiled for two minutes and preserved in 70% alcohol. Meanwhile, pupae were placed in a brood chamber with foliage to obtain adults and to extract their genitalia, which represents the most important morphological structure for the identification of a species. Results. The total number of collected larvae was 650, and 65 pupae, all reaching the adult stage. Based on the taxonomic morphology, the species Mocis latipes or striped grassworm was determined. Damage was estimated at approximately 40% per hectare. Implications. Correct identification of the pest insect allows the implementation of a strategy for proper management. Conclusion. The species M. latipes was identified in forage grasses P. maximum cv. Mombasa and P. maximum cv. Zuri in Veracruz.

“…In relation to the natural enemy organisms of M. latipes, there are studies about the relationship of a countless number of species associated with their natural biological control (predators, parasitoids and pathogens), in different stages of development, in different countries of the American Continent (e.g. Sauer 1946, Silva et al 1968, Lopes 1969, Gonçalves & Gonçalves 1974a, 1974b, Genung et al 1976, Guimarães 1977, De Santis 1979, Lourenção et al 1982, Collins & Watson 1983, King & Saunders 1984, Hall 1985, Santos 1989, Rogers et al 1990a, 1990b, Galán & Rodríguez 1991, Cave 1992, Rogers & Marti Jr. 1993, Whitaker Jr. et al 2007, Rolfe et al 2014. These studies mention that the action of several natural enemies is important when analyzing the abundance data of M. latipes in any area of its distribution.…”

“…The relationship between population variations and climatic conditions, is evidenced by the large number of moths collected in rainy months (July, August and September), in Alto Alegre, RR, located in the Northern Hemisphere (Table 2) while all the other places are located in the Southern Hemisphere, these same months correspond to winter time (dry or cold), with very low population levels. Indeed, studies always relate the highest population levels with warm months, preferably during the rainy season in the Northern Hemisphere (Bodkin 1914, Vickery 1924, Watson 1933, Fennah 1947, Capriles & Ferrer 1973, Calderón et al 1981, Gibbs 1990, Minno & Snyder 2008 as in the Southern Hemisphere (Lopes 1955, Costilla et al 1973, Carvalho 1976, Lourenção et al 1982, Teixeira & Townsend 1997, Correia et al 1999, Salvatore & Willink 2004, Acosta et al 2005.…”

“…The results of this study as well as most previous publications (ex. Carvalho 1976, Lourenção et al 1982, Fazolin et al 2009, Bentancourt & Scatoni 1996, Saunders et al 1998, Wagner et al 2011 indicates that M. latipes, besides having a wide distribution, it has low population levels during most of the year, with sporadic population outbreaks during favorable weather conditions, food availability and inadequate cultural management. Therefore, it must be considered that agricultural occupation has modified most of the ecosystems where the effect of seasonal variations on native host plants is minimized by cultivating grasses that serve as alternative hosts more resistant to drought in the savanna and to the cold in greater latitudes.…”

Spatio-temporal variation of Mocis latipes (Guenée, 1852) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) populations in Brazil according to meteorological factors

et al. 2021

Mocis latipes (Guenée, 1852) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) has been recognized as a major owlet caterpillar associated to the herbivory of gramineaceous plants across the American continent. During outbreaks, the caterpillars are capable of completely consuming preferred hosts (grasses) and, when these hosts are destroyed, they can move to adjacent non-grass plants and cause similar damage. Meteorological variable such as temperature and humidity are described as factors that affect the development and abundance of M. latipes. This paper aimed to describe and compare the spatial and temporal distribution of M. latipes in different locations in Brazil and to evaluate the influence of meteorological variables on the temporal range. A total of 12 locations were evaluated, in each collection point light traps were installed near cultivated areas. In order to understand the influence of meteorological variables on the abundance of M. latipes, the data were analyzed using a Generalized Linear Model according to Poisson regression. A linear regression was also used to verify the relation between the abundance and the latitude. A total of 1,985 moths were collected. The highest collections were in Amazon and Cerrado biomes. Results show that abundance was inversely related to increasing latitude and Poisson regression analysis indicated that the main meteorological variables were significantly related to abundance at each site. This study shows that due to the high preference for gramineas and the high temperature requirements (30°C), M. latipes is an important species in hot regions and regions with hight humidity. Furthurmore, even in higher latitudes, in subtropical areas, during summer months, populations can Rapidly growth being able to cause economic damages.

This study aimed to assess the diversity, abundance and seasonal dynamics of Ophioniformes wasps collected throughout a year, as recorded in Malaise traps set at the Reserva Ecológica da Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso do Sul, a Brazilian Savanna area in Aquidauana city, MS. A total of 621 specimens of Ophioniformes belonging to 11 subfamilies, 30 genera and 106 species were sampled. Despite the impressive number of species found, in a pattern of a few relatively abundant species and many rare ones, our data estimate even higher richness, probably between 125 to 165 species in the studied area. The genera Diadegma, Nonnus, Diradops, Meniscomorpha, Syzeuctus, Ophiopterus and Thyreodon are recorded for the first time in Mato Grosso do Sul State. Among the climatic variables evaluated, mean temperature and relative humidity were positively and significantly correlated with richness and abundance. Our data highlights the huge unknown species richness of these parasitoids in Brazil and the need of taxonomic studies efforts in the future.
