Larvas de Geometridae (Lepidoptera) e seus parasitóides, associadas a Erythroxylum microphyllum St.- Hilaire (Erythroxylaceae)

Abstract

Estudos que relacionam Lepidoptera, suas plantas hospedeiras e seus parasitóides são raros nos neotrópicos. Diniz & Morais (1995, Diniz et al. (1999Diniz et al. ( , 2001, Milhomen et al. (1997) e Pinheiro et al. (1997) referiram-se a lepidópteros em plantas de cerrado no Brasil central; Braga et al. (2001) aos Geometridae e seus parasitóides, associados a Piperaceae em área de mata semidecídua em São Carlos, SP; Scherrer et al. (1997)

Ichneumonids (Hymenoptera) and Tachinid Flies (Diptera) Associated to Leptidopterans in Soybean Crops

“…10, No. 7; 2018 Marconato et al, 2008), while Kumagai and Graf (2000), in Curitiba, PR, and Kumagai (2002) in Belo Horizonte, MG, collected ichneumonids using flight interception traps, among other studies (Sandonato et al, 2010;Onody & Penteado-Dias, 2016). …”

First host plant records for Iridopsis hausmanni Vargas (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the coastal valleys of northern Chile

“…On one hand, their most commonly acknowledged function is herbivory, because their abundance levels may be high among the external chewers of some plants (Bodner et al 2012). On the other hand, they may be also extremely important as prey for insectivorous organisms (Matthews & González 2004;Marconato et al 2008).…”

“…However, the biology of the Neotropical species is little known, with only a few host plant records published (Passoa 1983;Vargas 2007;Marconato et al 2008;Bodner et al 2010;Robinson et al 2010). In contrast, host plant relationships are better documented for the Nearctic species, many of which are polyphagous (Robinson et al 2010).…”

“…Furthermore, this is also the first record of Anacardiaceae as host plant for a Neotropical species of Iridopsis. Previously known records for Neotropical Iridopsis included Asteraceae, Erithroxylaceae, Fabaceae and Viburnaceae (Passoa 1983;Vargas 2007;Marconato et al 2008;Bodner et al 2010;Robinson et al 2010).…”

A new species of Glena Hulst (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) from northern Chile

“…Biology and host plants of species of Glena are little known, including the Nearctic species 1967). However, Marconato et al (2008) have reared four Neotropical Glena on Erythroxylum microphyllum St. Hilaire (Erythroxylaceae). Trixis cacalioides, the host plant of G. mielkei, is a native shrub growing in the coastal valleys of northern Chile (Zöllner 1976), also distributed in Argentina, Bolivia and Perú (Katinas 1996).…”
