“…Many countries have proved that highly focused group-specific barcode libraries will help to generate DNA barcode data in an accelerated way [ 29 , 30 ]. Only a few prior studies have employed DNA sequences for species identification of specific insect groups from India, such as the subfamily Plusiinae [ 31 ]; spiders [ 32 ]; thrips [ 33 ]; and mosquitoes [ 34 ]. Indian scientists should focus on specimen-based group-specific DNA barcode libraries with national level campaigns.…”

Insect fauna occupy the largest proportion of animal biodiversity on earth, but the assessment or quantification in terms of species diversity is far from complete. Several recent studies have demonstrated the rapid pace at which insect population decline is occurring. There is an urgent need to document and quantify the diversity of insect fauna for a proper understanding of terrestrial ecosystems. This can be achieved by using modern technology to identify species much faster than relying on traditional methods alone. In line with this, the molecular approach through DNA barcoding coupled with morphological identification needs to be focused and accelerated. The present paper describes the current status of barcoding of insect species in India along with the gaps that need to be remedied. This analysis shows that barcoded specimens cover a very meagre proportion of less than 3.73% of the known taxa/described species and the most represented orders are Lepidoptera and Hemiptera followed by Diptera and Coleoptera. There is a need to expedite insect species discovery and documentation in a collaborative mode between traditional taxonomists and molecular biologists, to accomplish the DNA barcoding of all known insect taxa from India.

“…Within the Noctuidae family, the subfamily Plusiinae boasts over 450 species with a global distribution. 8 However, the identification of sex pheromones has been limited to a mere 20 species within this subfamily (Supporting Information, Table S1, summarized from https:// lepipheromone.sakura.ne.jp/index.html). Most Plusiinae sex pheromones are blends of unsaturated alkanols with 10-14 carbons and their respective acetates.…”

BackgroundSex pheromone has proven to be a viable tool for monitoring and controlling pests and has been an important part of integrated pest management (IPM). The noctuid moth Macdunnoughia crassisigna Warren poses a significant threat as a defoliator pest, impacting soybean and cruciferous vegetable production and quality in East Asia. However, the lack of comprehensive knowledge about its sexual chemical signaling hampers the development of semiochemical‐based IPM approaches for M. crassisigna.ResultsWe first determined the mating rhythms of M. crassisigna. We then collected pheromones from the sex glands of virgin females at the mating peak and analyzed their components using gas chromatography‐electroantennogram detection (GC‐EAD) analysis. The results showed that three components elicited significant electrophysiological responses in male antennae. Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) analysis characterized these components as (Z)‐7‐dodecene acetate (Z7‐12: OAc), (Z)‐9‐tetradecene acetate (Z9‐14: OAc), and (Z)‐11‐hexadecen‐1‐ol (Z11‐16: OH). Further field experiments indicated that the mixture of Z7‐12: OAc and Z9‐14: OAc at a ratio of 3:1 displayed significant attractivity to males, confirming its role as a putative sex pheromone of M. crassisigna. Long‐term monitoring tests showed that traps baited with these pheromone lures effectively mirrored the population dynamics of M. crassisigna.ConclusionThis study successfully identified and validated the sex pheromone released by female M. crassisigna and formulated potent sex lures for field‐based pest monitoring. These findings enriched our understanding of chemical communication in Noctuidae and laid a foundation for developing practical monitoring and control methods against M. crassisigna.This article is protected by copyright.

“…In last decade, molecular approach such as RAPD-PCR, AFLP markers, multiplex PCR which produce species-speci c banding patterns, microsatellite/ ISSR markers results being interpreted and used to understand insect phylogenetics. We have DNA barcoded twenty ve species in our previous work [11], however the phylogenetic analsysis was lacking to understand interrelationship among different taxa from India or elsewhere. Along with available COI gene data we have added nuclear gene RPS5 data to infer phylogenetic relationship within the Indian species and also discussed tribal level relationship.…”

Background The subfamily Plusiinae is an economically important moth pest group under species rich family Noctuidae (Lepidoptera). The evolutionary history of this important subfamily has not been resolved completely. Particularly in India, the genus is represented by a species complex, but the taxonomic delineation between them is still unclear.Methods and results In present study, a comprehensive phylogenetic relationship among Indian species of this subfamily has been inferred for the first time based on mitochondrial marker, Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI), and nuclear gene marker, Ribosomal Protein S5 (RPS5), emphasizing tribal level classification. Here, we analyzed 125 plusiinae taxa from eight biogeographical zones of India comprising 2 molecular markers: mitochondrial marker, Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI), and nuclear gene marker, Ribosomal Protein S5 (RPS5). The results revealed that Plusiinae tribes were monophyletic and considered sister groups that shared many derived characteristics. The ML/MP cladogram based on the barcoding gene successfully separates all the species, but not all tribes. While the nuclear gene marker, RPS5 separated all the species according to their tribes. The combined analysis of both genes showed tribe resolution into distinct clades.Conclusions This is the first comprehensive study on phylogenetic studies of 25 species of plusiinae from India which gives a clear information about species position and arrangement within taxa.
