Abstract:

The Lepidoptera represent one of the most successful radiations of plant-feeding insects, which predominantly took place within angiosperms beginning in the Cretaceous period. Angiosperm colonization is thought to underlie the evolutionary success of the Lepidoptera because angiosperms provide an enormous range of niches for ecological speciation to take place. By contrast, the basal lepidopteran lineage, Micropterigidae, remained unassociated with angiosperms since Jurassic times but nevertheless achieved a modest diversity in the Japanese Archipelago. We explored the causes and processes of diversification of the Japanese micropterigid moths by performing molecular phylogenetic analysis and extensive ecological surveying. Phylogenetic analysis recovered a monophyletic group of approximately 25 East Asian endemic species that feed exclusively on the liverwort Conocephalum conicum , suggesting that niche shifts hardly played a role in their diversification. Consistent with the low flying ability of micropterigid moths, the distributions of the Conocephalum specialists are each localized and allopatric, indicating that speciation by geographical isolation has been the major process shaping the diversity of Japanese Micropterigidae. To our knowledge, this is the largest radiation of herbivorous insects that does not accompany any apparent niche differentiation. We suggest that the significance of non-ecological speciation during the diversification of the Lepidoptera is commonly underestimated.

Larven und Imagines von Micropterix aruncella (Scopoli, 1763) (Lepidoptera: Micropterigidae) wurden auf Almwiesen an der Waldgrenze oberhalb des Ortes Neustift (auf 2000 m NN, Stubaital, Zentralalpen, Österreich) gesammelt: 158 Larven mit einem Kempson-Apparat von der Bodenoberfläche, 81 Imagines (42 Männchen, 39 Weibchen) mit Emergenzzelten zwischen dem 10. Juli und 23. August 2001. Larven der phylogenetisch besonders interessanten Gattung Micropterix (Antennen länger als Kopfkapsel; Kopfkapsel völlig in den Thorax einziehbar; 1.-8. Abdominalsegment mit zugespitzten Abdominalbeinen ohne Häkchen; Körper mit mehreren Reihen abgeflachter, gerippter keulenförmiger Haare; Körperquerschnitt hexagonal) wurden nur selten gefunden und untersucht, die Larve von M. aruncella war bisher nahezu unbekannt. Das Integument zeigt zahlreiche Sonderbildungen, z. B. mit modifizierten Haaren bedeckt Wülste, scheibenförmige Strukturen mit ± wabenförmiger Oberflächenstruktur. Die äußere Anatomie der Antennen, des Labrum, der Mandibeln, Maxillen und des Labium sowie der Beine und Abdominalbeine wird beschrieben, mit Literaturangaben verglichen und durch REM-Aufnahmen und Originalabbildungen ebenfalls dokumentiert. Die Häufigkeitsverteilung der Kopfkapselbreiten zeigt 4 Maxima, die 4 Larvenstadien wahrscheinlich werden lassen, deren Wachstumsrate zwischen 1,2 und 1,7 liegt. Bei der Untersuchung der Larven von M. aruncella wurden Unterschiede zu der Beschreibung von M. calthella durch Lorenz (1961) gefunden, die vielleicht zur Differenzierung der Larven der beiden Arten herangezogen werden können.StichwörterLepidoptera, Micropterigidae, Micropterix aruncella, larval morphology, Central Alps, North Tyrol, alpine pasture land.

Abstract:

Micropterigidae and Eriocraniidae are poorly investigated in Southern Europe. Despite the richness of the Italian territory, studies devoted to investigating their molecular diversity are lacking. Furthermore, knowledge concerning the diversity and species distribution of these families in southern Italian regions is very poor. The aim of this paper is to contribute to filling the gaps in knowledge on the diversity of Micropterigidae and Eriocraniidae in southern Italian regions by analysing, through DNA barcoding, the samples collected in this geographic area by the authors in recent years. In total, 37 specimens were submitted to DNA barcoding analysis. The sequences were subsequently identified by comparing them with those available in the Barcoding of Life Data Systems. The results provided the first record and the first sequences of the Eriocraniidae family for southern Italy, the first record in continental Italy of a formerly Sicilian endemic species, the first sequences of an endemic species, and the first sequence belonging either to a previously described but unsequenced species or to an undescribed species. In conclusion, DNA barcoding of these families in southern Italy provided very interesting insights, improving their molecular libraries and the knowledge on the fauna of this territory. Daytime studies can further improve these results, but addressing the gaps concerning immature stages should be the major goal of future research.

Full text

Abstract:

With the discovery of new taxa and developments in biogeography and molecular phylogenetics, it has become clear that the diversity of Micropterigidae in the SW Pacific region is inadequately represented by the current taxonomy. The existing taxonomy implies a single lineage in this region, while an unpublished molecular analysis reveals the presence of three distinct lineages in Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand, hence the need for revision. Currently only three named species are described from eastern Australia, all placed within the genus Sabatinca Walker. This revision isolates porphyrodes Turner 1932, from northern Queensland, as a new monotypic genus Austromartyria, here recognised as a member of a diverse ‘southern sabatincoid lineage’ distributed around the Southern Hemisphere. The bulk of the fauna covered in this revision includes: S. calliplaca Meyrick 1902, together with 6 new taxa in a new Australian genus Tasmantrix; S. sterops Turner 1921 plus a new species from New Caledonia, in another new genus Aureopterix. The New Zealand species Sabatinca zonodoxa Meyrick 1888, is synonymised with S. rosicoma Meyrick 1914 and placed in a new monotypic genus Zealandopterix. Finally, a new genus Nannopterix is erected for a new species from New Caledonia. The assemblage of four new genera (excluding Austromartyria) together comprise the basal lineage of Micropterigidae, previously referred to as the ‘Australian-group.’ All five new genera are distinguished from Sabatinca s.str., the focus of diversity in the region (confined to New Caledonia and New Zealand), but not revised here.

Full text

Abstract:

The South African micropterigid genus Agrionympha Meyrick, 1921 has long been known from a single male specimen and very few females with three named species. This revision, based on more recent discoveries, brings the total named species to nine, by the addition of A. fuscoapicella sp. nov., A. jansella sp. nov., A. karoo sp. nov., A. kroonella sp. nov., A. pseudovari sp. nov., A. sagittella sp. nov., and notes the presence of a tenth species, represented only by two males in alcohol. The South Afrrican micropterigid fauna is thus quite diverse although, apart from the presence of another as yet undescribed genus, turns out to be a phenetically tightly-knit assemblage of highly conservative species. This revision provides a morphological description of males and females and includes larval features and a key to species. The micropterigid fauna of South Africa together with recently discovered taxa from Madagascar comprise part of what is regarded as the ‘southern sabatincoid’ lineage within the family—a weakly supported clade also including representatives from Australia, Chile, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. The survival of these small archaic rainforest moths in the face of increasing aridity is discussed.

Abstract:

This paper describes a rare case of a male moth in Baltic amber in an excellent position for establishing a species. The moth represents the second species of the genus <i>Baltimartyria</i> Skalski, 1995, described herein as <i>B. rasnitsyni</i> <b>sp. n.</b> The detection of this new species prompts research on the systematic position of the genus within the family Micropterigidae. The genus was found to provide none of the apomorphic characters that would allow placement in one of the monophyletic lineages within the family. The genus is provisionally assigned to the “southern sabatincoid group”, a weakly supported assemblage of Southern Hemisphere genera. The sister genus has still to be determined. <i>Baltimartyria</i> is the first North Hemisphere representative in this group. Some general aspects of historical biogeography relevant for the group are briefly discussed.

Abstract:

The results of a biodiversity survey on butterflies and moths from the upper course of the Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina are presented. This survey was conducted between 27.6. and 3.7.2022, at seven localities between Krupac and Glavatičevo. In total, 251 species were recorded, ten of which are first records for the country: Limnaecia phragmitella (Cosmopterigidae), Crambus uliginosellus (Crambidae), Philereme vetulata (Geometridae), Micropterix myrtetella (Micropterigidae), Ponometia candefacta (Noctuidae), Crassa unitella (Oecophoridae), Rhigognostis hufnagelii (Plutellidae), Acrobasis repandana (Pyralidae), Tinea trinotella (Tineidae), Acleris forsskaleana (Tortricidae). Two species, namely Diacrisia purpurata (Erebidae) and Aristotelia decurtella (Gelechiidae) were rediscovered after more than 100 years. Three are on the list as Protected Species of Flora and Fauna of the Republic of Srpska and six on the European Red List of Butterflies: five having the status »near-threatened«, and one the status »vulnerable«. In this contribution, we discuss the problem of losing important habitats due to planned construction of mini hydropower plants in the region.

Abstract:

The indigenous North American micropterigid genus <i>Epimartyria</i> Walsingham,1898 is revised. Three species are recognized, including <i>E. auricrinella</i> Walsingham<i>,</i> 1898<i> </i>which occurs widely over much of the northeastern United States and Canada, a new species, <i>E. bimaculella </i>Davis and Landry from northwestern United States and Canada, and <i>E. pardella </i>(Walsingham, 1880) from northern California to northern Oregon. The larva of <i>E. auricrinella</i> is described in detail, supplemented with illustrations of the external structure of the larval integument. The larval plastron is described and illustrated for <i>Epimartyria</i>, and this is compared with the plastrons of <i>Neomicropteryx</i> Issiki, 1931 and <i>Micropterix</i> Hübner, 1825. COI barcode sequences show that the three species are genetically distinct, congruent with morphological differences. Marked haplotype divergence within some <i>E. auricrinella</i> populations appears to be unrelated to morphology, geography or phenology.

Abstract:

We report some surprising recent distributional range extensions of one extant genus and two more families of primitive moths discovered in amber fossils from South-east Asia which were previously only known from Australia and/or the southwestern Pacific, with the possible exception of an undescribed Siberian fossil attributed to Lophocoronidae. During entomological field work in rain forests of central Vietnam a new species of Micropterigidae was discovered. It is described herein as Aureopterix bachmaensis sp. nov. based on male and female specimens collected at light in the Bach-Ma National Park. The identification was corroborated by a molecular analysis. This is the first record of this genus in the Northern Hemisphere, previously thought to be restricted to the Australian Region (including New Caledonia). First results of investigations of Burmese amber inclusions now reveal the presence of the Australian Region families Agathiphagidae and Lophocoronidae in the Cretaceous of Asia. The fossil taxon Agathiphagama perdita gen. nov., sp. nov. is established on the basis of two females and this is assigned to Agathiphagidae. The fossil genus Acanthocorona gen. nov. is established in Lophocoronidae and includes seven species described here as A. skalskiisp. nov., A. bowangisp. nov., A. muellerisp. nov., A. kuranishiisp. nov., A. sattlerisp. nov., A. spiniferasp. nov. and A. wichardisp. nov. The new species can be distinguished by the male genitalia which are illustrated together with wing venation and other morphological characters. The disjunct ranges of these taxa are discussed in a historical biogeographic context. Vicariance and dispersal hypotheses explaining the disjunct pattern are discussed. The discovery of these new species suggests a broader ancestral range of Aureopterix, Agathiphagidae and Lophocoronidae. Their extant ranges may be regarded as remnants or relicts of a wider distribution in the Mesozoic, or at least in the case of Aureopterix they could be the results of recent or ancient dispersal processes, since the calibration of molecular splits does not so far accord with plate tectonics.

Abstract:

A bibliography and review of the published records of species from several Microlepidoptera families in Croatia are presented. Altogether 274 species from eight superfamilies, 12 families and 55 genera of Microlepidoptera occurring in Croatia are presented. The paper is a summarization of available published records, from historical publications to recent studies. It also includes material collected during field surveys conducted by the second and third author in 2018 and 2019 in Croatia. Eight out of the 61 recorded species were not previously reported from that country and are considered new to its fauna. Furthermore, the findings of 10 species reconfirm their occurrence in the fauna of Croatia, as they are the first recent records in 100 years or more. Except for the families Pyralidae and Crambidae, no checklists for Croatian microlepidopterous families have been published in the form of journal articles. This paper represents a first summary of available published records and a first species list of the families Micropterigidae, Eriocraniidae, Hepialidae, Nepticulidae, Opostegidae, Heliozelidae, Adelidae, Prodoxidae, Incurvariidae and Tischeriidae, and Alucitidae and Pterophoridae in Croatia. By making data about the occurrence of species from these families in Croatia available, this list is a major contribution to the overall knowledge of the Croatian fauna of Microlepidoptera. It aims at increasing the interest in these micromoth families in that country and inspiring future research into this group. It is also hoped that it will encourage the creation of checklists of these microlepidopterous families or even all micromoths in Croatia.

Abstract:

Insect colour is extremely diverse and produced by a large number of pigmentary and nanostructural mechanisms. Considerable research has been dedicated to these optical mechanisms, with most of it focused on chromatic colours, such as blues and greens, and less on achromatic colours like white and gold. Moreover, studies on the evolution of these colours are less common and largely limited to inferences from extant organisms, in part because of the limited amount and types of available fossil material. Here, we directly compare nanostructure and colour of extant and amber-preserved (approx. 15 and 99 Myr old, respectively) gold-coloured representatives of micromoths (Lepidoptera: Micropterigidae) and springtails (Collembola: Tomoceridae). Using electron microscopy, microspectrophotometry and finite domain time difference optical modelling, we show that golden coloration in the extant micromoth is produced by nanometre-scale crossribs that function as zero-order diffraction gratings and in the springtail by a diffraction grating without crossribs. Surprisingly, nanostructure and thus predicted colour of the amber-preserved specimens were nearly identical to those of their extant counterparts. Removal of amber enabled direct colour measurement of the fossil micromoth and further revealed that its colour matched both that of the extant specimen and the predicted colour, providing further support for our optical models. Our data thus clearly show an early origin and striking conservation of scale nanostructures and golden coloration, suggesting strong selection pressure either on the colour itself or on the mechanisms that produce the colour. Furthermore, we show the thus-far untapped potential for the use of amber-preserved specimens in studies on the evolution of organismal coloration.

Abstract:

Abstract Micropterigidae is regarded as the sister group of all the other Lepidoptera, providing important insights into the evolution of Lepidoptera. However, the gene and protein profiles of silk from Micropterigidae have not yet been identified. In this study, we investigate the components of silk cocoons of the micropterigid species Neomicropteryx cornuta. Here we show that the protein fibroin heavy chain (FibH) is absent in the silk of N. cornuta and that the putative homolog of fibroin light chain (FibL) is also absent or severely altered. This is confirmed by transcriptome and genome analyses of the conserved regions in this species. The examination of the synteny around the fibH genes in several Lepidoptera and Trichoptera species shows that the genomic region containing this gene is absent in another micropterigid species, Micropterix aruncella. In contrast, we found putative orthologs of fibH and fibL in the representative transcripts of another distinct clade, Eriocraniidae. This study shows that the loss of FibH and the loss or severe divergence of FibL occurrs specifically in the family Micropterigidae and reveals dynamic evolutionary changes in silk composition during the early evolution of Lepidoptera. It also shows that silk proteins without FibH can form a solid cocoon.
