The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is the most important noctuid pest in Americas and has recently become an invasive Africa. A detailed record of S. frugiperda's host plants essential to better understand biology ecology this pest, conduct future studies, develop Integrated Pest Management programmes. In study, we collected systematically arranged fragmented bibliographic information on feeding records. Furthermore, registered new records...

Abstract Hybridization between invasive and native species has raised global concern, given the dramatic increase in range shifts pest outbreaks due to anthropogenic dispersal. Nevertheless, secondary contact sister lineages of local provides a natural laboratory understand factors that determine introgression maintenance or loss barriers. Here, we characterize early evolutionary outcomes following Helicoverpa armigera H. zea Brazil. We carried out whole-genome resequencing moths from Brazil...

Asteraceae (29), Solanaceae (21), Fabaceae (18) Lamiaceae (12).
Every year the area of transgenic maize planting in Brazil expands, however, our knowledge fauna herbivorous insects associated with this genetically modified crop is restricted. In work we report for first time occurrence Leucania rawlinsi Adams, 2001 and L. senescens (Möschler, 1890) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae feeding on Bt non-Bt silk, as well their braconid tachinid larval parasitoids. order to facilitate specific identification these species future studies, redescriptions adults...
The taxonomy of five South American species Dargida Walker currently allocated in Leucania Ochsenheimer (four species) and Lasionycta Aurivillius (one is revised. roseilinea (Köhler, 1947), phaeoneura Hampson, 1913, mocoides Dognin, 1897, alboradiata (Hampson, 1905) radiata 1966), are here combined with the genus for first time (comb. nov.). Two new synonyms proposed, roseilineoides Poole, 1989 an objective junior synonym Borolia Köhler, 1947 (syn. nov.) (ICZN 51.4), B. lilloana a subjective...
This study presents registers of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) occurrence to assess its spatial and temporal distribution in Brazil. We used data from collections, especially the Southern Region, systematic collections Rio Grande do Sul, occasional caterpillars adults different regions Brazil, as well literature registers. conclude that introduction H. Brazil probably occurred before October 2008. also register August 2012 was already present extreme southern part (Rio Sul) northern (Amapá)
This study aimed to detail the temporal and morphological parameters of immature stages southern armyworm Spodoptera eridania (Stoll, 1782) with larvae feed on artificial diet, under controlled conditions (25 ± 1°C, 70 10% relative humidity 14-h photophase) gather information about their larval host plants. The viability egg, larval, pupal, prepupal was 97.82, 93.62, 96.42, 97.03%, respectively. average duration pre–pupal 4.00, 16.18, 1.58, 9.17 d, During stage, 43.44% females passed through...
Metarhizium rileyi is an entomopathogenic fungus of Lepidoptera and infects many noctuids, which are key pests agricultural crops. In this literature review, we summarise the state art use potential biological pest control agent. Pathogen–host interactions include conidial adhesion, invasion process, enzymatic activity. Environmental factors that impact productivity associated with such as environment temperature, humidity, availability spores discussed. Recent research has focused on...
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797), is the most important noctuid pest in Americas and has recently become an invasive Africa India. Having a detailed standardized record of biology larval development S. will be critical to further studies on integrated management, toxicology, applied ecology. This study reports temporal morphological parameters immature stages for larvae fed artificial diet under controlled conditions (25±1 °C, 70±10%...
Automated species identification based on data produced with metabarcoding offers an alternative for assessing biodiversity of bulk insect samples obtained traps. We used a standard two-step PCR approach to amplify 313 bp fragment the barcoding region mitochondrial COI gene. The products were sequenced Illumina MiSeq platform, and OTUs production taxonomic identifications performed customized pipeline database. DNA in procedures was extracted directly from preservative ethanol automatic...
A new species of Feltia Walker, 1856, pala Dias, Specht & San Blas sp. nov., is described from the southern Brazilian highlands. The compared with gypaetina (Guenée, 1852), a neglected similar which occurs in lowland Brazil and Argentina, was recently transferred Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816. redescribed, its taxonomy reviewed. pseudoplecta Snellen, 1879 removed junior subjective synonymy Guenée, 1852 recognized provisionally as synonym Noctua lutescens Blanchard, (syn. nov.).

ABSTRACT Viticulture has been expanded to different producing regions of Brazil. Grape producers in the southeastern and southern Brazil have consistently reported incidence a caterpillar damaging trunk branches vine plants. Larvae were reared laboratory, species Roseala tessellatus (Herrich-Schäffer, [1854]) (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) was subsequently identified as responsible for damage. This study presents information on geographic distribution this pest Brazil, damage caused plants,...
The corn earworm Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and the old world bollworm armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are allopatric species occur in important agricultural crops. In maize, both tend to infest ear. introduction of H. Brazil has created a new scenario, where these might cohabit interact with one another, affecting prevalence each agroecosystem, integrated pest management, insect resistance management. this study, larval occurrence proportion maize was assessed three regions during...

For this purpose, a new rearing method artificial diet was employed validated. The viability egg, larval, pupal pre-pupal 94.54, 97.33, 93.84 92.34%, respectively. average duration 4.14, 16.37, 1.69, 9.34 days, During stage, 80.85% females 93.99% males...
The soybean looper (SBL), Chrysodeixis includens (Walker), is one of the most important pests in Brazil. MON 87701 × 89788 expressing Cry1Ac has been recently deployed Brazil, providing high levels control against primary lepidopteran pests. To support insect resistance management (IRM) programmes, baseline susceptibility SBL to was assessed, and allele frequency estimated on basis an F2 screen.The toxicity (LC50 ) ranged from 0.39 2.01 µg mL(-1) diet among all field populations collected...
Chrysodeixis includens (Walker, [1858]) is currently the main plusiine pest in Americas, not only because of damage caused to soybean, but also with several crop species a broad geographical range. However, its population dynamics still poorly understood, despite outbreak records that are common across different locations Americas. The current study aimed at identifying phenological patterns C. emphasizing differences among three years sampling effort an intercropping area Brazilian Savanna....

Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker, 1858) is an economically relevant polyphagous moth, widely distributed in the Neotropics and part of latifascia 1856) species group. In this study, we used extensive sampling from different regions to describe spatial distribution S. Brazil evaluate its variability both morphological molecular perspectives. Variable coloration several similarities were found among congeners complex, diverging each 0.5 3.5% mitochondrial DNA. The genetic divergence at level was...
