“…Listed by Martorell (1976) as a threat to beet, pumpkin, and tomato crops. However, horse purslane (Aizoaceae) was found to be the pest's preferred host plant, and beet was the only cultivar eaten by larvae in feeding trials (Figueroa et al, 2005) Lyonetid coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella)…”

The Caribbean archipelago of Puerto Rico supports a diverse flora and fauna and is located in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change. The diversity of entomofauna across Puerto Rico has received considerable attention in wide‐scale research over the last century, with particular emphasis on the order Lepidoptera as the subject of substantial taxonomic and ecological surveys. However, much of this work is incomplete, outdated, or has been obscured in gray literature. Thus, our primary objectives were to contextualize the role of past research in the current understanding of Puerto Rican Lepidoptera and to outline an agenda for future research. Specifically, we provide an overview of taxonomic, ecological, agricultural, and conservation Lepidoptera research in Puerto Rico and highlight key studies and historical datasets. We found that, despite a strong taxonomic legacy, native moth taxonomy remains poorly understood, except for a few major pests. Further, much of the recent Lepidoptera research has focused on short‐term evaluations of agricultural pests, necessitated by immediate economic needs. The current ecological status of Lepidoptera on the islands is unknown. Therefore, prioritizing ecological research could provide timely insight for understanding changing Lepidoptera diversity and distribution and for conserving this biologically and economically significant group. Greater emphasis on long‐term monitoring and digitization of museum collections would be particularly useful for quantifying past and forecasting future impacts of global change.Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.

Larvae of the beet web moth, Spoladea recurvalis F. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), were reared on a semi-synthetic diet under laboratory temperature of 25°C. The microbial bioinsecticide Dipel 2X (Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki) was bioassayed versus the 2nd instar larvae (L 2) of S. recurvalis by mixing in the semi-synthetic diet at different concentrations (5, 2.5, 1.25; 0.6 and 0.3% w/w). The concentration 1.25% of Dipel 2X mixed in the semi-synthetic diet was fed to larvae (L 2) to prolong the pre-death period for 5 days in order to follow its effect on the structure of mid-gut. Treated larvae as well as those of the control were fixed in Bouin's fixative at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days post treatment and processed for paraffin serial sectioning at 6-8 μm with double staining by eosin and hematoxylin. Cross sections in the mid-gut were examined with a light microscope in both treated larvae and those of the control. The gradual alterations in mid-gut structure till death of the treated larvae were described.
