“…After labelling, they were identified based on wing pattern elements using taxonomic literature (Oberprieler 1995;Bouyer 1999;Lampe 2010;Schintlmeister 2013) or online databases (De Prins and De Prins 2012;Goff 2016Goff -2017Cigliano et al 2017;Peña 2013). Notodontid larvae were identified using Gerasimov (1937), Stehr (1987), Miller (1991, Carter and Kristensen (1998), Kitching andRawlins (1998), Beck (1999).…”

From 2013-2017, we accompanied and interviewed local people harvesting edible insects in the Northern Angolan province of Uíge. Insect and host plant samples were collected for species identification and nutritive analyses. Additionally, live caterpillars were taken to feed and keep until pupation and eclosion of the imago, necessary for morphological species identification. Altogether, 18 insect species eaten by humans were recorded. Twenty four edible insect species were formerly known from the country, four of which are confirmed in this study and 14 species additionally recorded. Sciatta inconcisa Walker, 1869 (Erebidae) and Gastroplakaeis rubroanalis Wichgraf, 1913 (Lasiocampidae) are reported for the very first time as human dietary foods. All 18 species are illustrated and DNA-Barcodes are provided to enable reidentification of species. Though much effort has been undertaken for the identification of the 18 species, only 14 species have been identified at species level and another four only at family level. The scientific names are listed along with the vernacular names. A nutritional analysis is provided for nine species most of which are consumed in the villages, but some are also traded, for which a market study has been conducted. Information is also given on traditional collection and preparation as well as cultural aspects of edible insects in Northern Angola.

“…However, this view has been superseded by results obtained from morphological‐ and molecular‐based phylogenetic analyses (Miller, ; Zahiri et al., , ). At present, Thaumetopoeinae comprises 106 valid species split into 20 genera (Schintlmeister, ).…”

“…Hübner, [1820], in ‐[1826]) erected Thaumetopoea to include two species, namely Phalaena processionea Linnaeus, 1758, the type species associated with oaks in central and southern Europe, and Bombyx pityocampa [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, associated with pine in southern Europe and the Mediterranean. More taxa were added later and currently 15 species are included in this genus (Table ) (Schintlmeister, ). The Palaearctic species of Thaumetopoea have been reviewed by Agenjo () and de Freina and Witt (, ).…”

“…The two revisions did not use a phylogenetic approach and the suggested taxonomic changes were not based on rigorous analyses corroborating the monophyly of their genera. Nevertheless, the three genera were retained as valid in the most recent catalogue of Notodontidae (Schintlmeister, ). However, a recent phylogeny based on nucleotide sequence data on a subset of species indicated that the split of Thaumetopoea into three distinct genera is untenable, and provided evidence for inclusion of all the species in a single genus Thaumetopoea s.l .…”

“…Our analysis included all taxa that were variously given independent status according to revisions and recent papers, for a total of 21 taxa. As outgroups we selected 16 species of other Thaumetopoeinae, encompassing a representative sample of the taxonomic diversity of the subfamily (Tables , and S1) (Schintlmeister, ). Thus, the final data set contained 37 taxa included in seven genera.…”

A total evidence phylogeny for the processionary moths of the genus Thaumetopoea (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae: Thaumetopoeinae)

Processionary moths belong to a group of about 100 species well known for their social behaviour and their urticating systems. The genus Thaumetopoea s.l. includes about 15 species and has been divided into three genera (Helianthocampa, Thaumetopoea s.s., and Traumatocampa) in the last revision, based on key morphological features of the adults and on the host plants of the larvae. We performed a total evidence approach to resolve the phylogeny of the genus Thaumetopoea s.l., analysing all valid taxa included in this group, plus a broad array of close relatives. Thaumetopoea was monophyletic and supported by several apomorphies. Further subclades corroborated by synapomorphies were identified. Our phylogeny suggests that Thaumetopoea must be regarded as a single genus. The mapping of key life history traits on the total evidence tree allowed us to sketch a plausible identikit of the Thaumetopoea ancestor and to track the evolution of the genus. The ancestor originated in the eastern Mediterranean area, and used broadleaved host plants. Subsequently, a switch to conifers occurred, just once, in a large subclade. The ancestor pupated in the soil, like several current species, but in a few taxa this trait was lost, together with the related morphological adaptations.
