Caracterização morfológica dos imaturos de Hyponeuma taltula (Schaus) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Herminiinae)

Abstract

Hyponeuma taltula (Schaus, 1904) ocorre no Brasil, cuja lagarta é broca da cana-de-açúcar. Na década de 1970 foram relatados danos desta praga em canaviais de Santa Catarina, São Paulo e Pernambuco. Mais recentemente, em 2005, foram observados prejuízos a essa cultura em Alagoas. Este trabalho objetivou descrever morfologicamente os imaturos de H. taltula dando ênfase, entre outros aspectos, ao da micrópila do ovo, da quetotaxia da larva e da posição das podotecas, ceratotecas e demais estruturas da pupa.

Larva de último instar y pupa de Melipotis cellaris (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

“…Generalmente los estudios biológicos y morfológicos más detallados referidos a estados inmaduros de Noctuidae se relacionan con especies que tienen algún grado de importancia agrícola (Angulo & Weigert 1975, Godfrey 1987, Angulo et al 2006, Zenker et al 2007, mientras que las especies que se asocian a plantas silvestres no reciben el mismo nivel de atención. Esto es precisamente lo que acontece con las especies de Melipotis del norte de Chile.…”

Quality Control in Mass Rearing of Insects

“…Lastly, pest control challenges in sugarcane farming are numerous, complex, and are not just for farmers, but for the entire system, from academia, large groups, and companies, as well as the government, and the solution may come from the union of these components in actions and programs. Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), with D. saccharalis being one of the main pests of the crop Habib, 2006;Zenker et al, 2007;Dinardo-Miranda et al, 2007, 2013aPavlu & Molin, 2016;Monteiro;Peronti & Martinelli, 2022).…”

A description of the eggs of seven species of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) commonly transported by plant trade to the UK, and their separation using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy

“…There have been a number of previous studies on noctuid egg morphology using both light microscopy and SEM micrographs, and these have established morphological characters that are of potential diagnostic significance. A number of previous studies described the eggs of a single species (such as for Hyponeuma taltula (Schaus, 1904) (Zenker et al 2007a); Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker, 1858) (Zenker et al 2007b);and S. eridania (Stoll, 1781) (Valverde 2007)). The eggs of multiple noctuid species have been studied in North and South America; these studies range from illustrated descriptions (e.g., Peterson 1964;Salkeld 1984), to more comparative work (such as Hudson 1973;Olivares & Angulo 2004;Olivares et al 2005;Andaur-Arenas & Olivares 2009).…”
