“…The biodiversity of islands is generally lower than in the nearby mainland and directly correlated to island size and isolation (Kier et al, 2009;Gillespie & Kipling, 2018). The smaller Greek islands have high plant biodiversity with a high degree of endemicity (Kougioumoutzis et al, 2021), but insect biodiversity is low compared to the Greek mainland (Sfenthourakis & Legakis, 2001) Still, the scarcity of tabanid record is surprising in relation to other insect groups (Chvála, 2013;de Jong et al, 2014).…”

The horse-fly fauna of the East Mediterranean is poorly known and, in some geographical areas, has not been studied for decades. The present study summarizes the results of tabanid collections performed over 30 years in the Greek islands (the Cyclades, Dodecanese, North Aegean and Crete) and Cyprus. In total, 18 species were known from the study territory. The present study reports an additional 10 species. Previously, only 1 horsefly species was known from the Dodecanese islands, 1 from the North Aegean islands, and 2 from the Cyclades. This study has raised the number of species to 6, 7, and 9, respectively. The combined taxa for the three island groups have increased from 4 to 17 species. Specifically, the number of species has increased from 3 to 7 in Crete and from 11 to 19 in Cyprus. Additionally, we report 1 new record from the Greek mainland, 1 from the Levantine region, 2 from Lebanon, and 2 from Israel. Four Afrotropical–Palearctic vector species: Atylotus agrestis (Wiedemann, 1828); Tabanus gratus Löw, 1858b; Tabanus sufis Jaennicke, 1867; and Tabanus taeniola Palisot de Beauvois, 1806; are recorded for the first time from Cyprus, and A. agrestis from southern Italy. Their status as invasive species in Europe is discussed, the four species are illustrated.

Keunikan bentang geografis dan iklim di wilayah Indonesia turut berdampak terhadap keragaman serangga hama pada tanaman kelapa sawit di masing-masing wilayah. Belalang Sexava nubila dan ulat api Thosea monoloncha merupakan dua spesies hama kelapa sawit yang sebarannya saat ini masih terbatas di wilayah timur Indonesia. Serangan kedua hama tersebut terjadi di perkebunan kelapa sawit yang berlokasi di Maluku Utara dan Papua Selatan antara tahun 2017 - 2022. Outbreak S. nubila dan T. monoloncha terluas terjadi berturut-turut pada 485 ha dan 93 ha area tanaman menghasilkan kelapa sawit. Pengendalian hama terpadu dengan memanfaatkan kombinasi dari pengendalian secara kultur teknis, mekanis, hayati dengan pemanfaatan entomopatogen, parasitoid, dan predator, serta kimia dengan rotasi golongan bahan aktif dan sesuai dosis dapat menekan populasi dari serangan kedua hama ini.

DNA Barcoding of Lepidoptera Species from the Maltese Islands: New and Additional Records, with an Insight into Endemic Diversity

et al. 2022

This work presents the first outcomes resulting from a DNA barcode reference library of lepidopteran species from Malta. The library presented here was constructed from the specimens collected between 2015 and 2019 and covers the genetic barcodes of 146 species (ca. 25% of lepidopterous Maltese fauna), including four newly recorded Lepidoptera species from the Maltese islands: Apatema baixerasi, Bostra dipectinialis, Oiketicoides lutea, and Phereoeca praecox. The DNA reference barcode library constructed during this study was analyzed in conjunction with publicly available DNA barcodes and used to assess the ability of the local DNA barcodes to discriminate species. Results showed that each species occupies a different BOLD BIN; therefore, DNA barcoding was able to discriminate between the studied species. Our data led to the formation of 12 new BOLD BINs—that is, OTUs that were identified during this work—while nearly 46% of the barcodes generated during this study were never recorded on conspecifics, further indicating the uniqueness of genetic diversity on these central Mediterranean islands. The outcomes of this study highlight the integrative taxonomic approach, where molecular taxonomy plays an important role for biodiversity investigation in its entirety.
