Ocean pollution is a worldwide environmental challenge that could be partially tackled through microbial applications. To shed light on the diversity and applications of the bacterial communities that inhabit the sediments trapped in artificial containers, we analyzed residues (polyethylene terephthalate [PET] bottles and aluminum cans) collected from the Mediterranean Sea by scanning electron microscopy and next generation sequencing. Moreover, we set a collection of culturable bacteria from the plastisphere that were screened for their ability to use PET as a carbon source. Our results reveal that Proteobacteria are the predominant phylum in all the samples and that Rhodobacteraceae, Woeseia, Actinomarinales, or Vibrio are also abundant in these residues. Moreover, we identified marine isolates with enhanced growth in the presence of PET: Aquimarina intermedia, Citricoccus spp., and Micrococcus spp. Our results suggest that the marine environment is a source of biotechnologically promising bacterial isolates that may use PET or PET additives as carbon sources., Financial support by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (grant SETH ref.

Two new species of the neotropical genus Brusqeulia Razowski & Becker, 2000, are described and illustrated: B. yunkensis Pérez Santa-Rita & Baixeras, sp. n. from Bolivia and B. araguensis Pérez Sant-Rita & Baixeras, sp. n. from Venezuela. The systematic position and diagnostic characters of the genus are reviewed, resulting in the synonymy of Pinhaisania Razowski & Becker, 2000, with Brusqeulia, and the combination B. crispula (Razowski & Becker, 2000), comb. n. New characters of the female genitalia are discussed.

Spatalistiforma submerga Skalski, 1992 Figs 4 a–b. Excavation locality and depository: ZMCD Copenhagen (Holotype: 12-4/1957=LEP.SUCC.88 UZMC/AWS) / Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/ Lutetian, Middle Eocene. The specimen was borrowed and examined at the USNM by JWB, MH and Richard L. Brown. Published illustrations: Skalski 1992: 142, fig. 6 (photographs and drawings). Condition: The moth is in a 7 × 9 × 4 mm piece of Baltic amber. The head, abdomen and legs are missing; only the thorax and the wings have been preserved. Forewing length is 3 mm. The presence of a single acanthus in the frenulum suggests the moth is a male and belongs to Heteroneura. Comments: The first mention of Spatalistiforma submerga by Skalski (1976) must be considered a nomen nudum since it lacks a description. However, Skalski (1992) subsequently validated the name by providing a description. Skalski (1992) tentatively placed the fossil moth in the tribe Tortricini based on purported similarities in the wing venation with the genus Spatalistis Meyrick, 1907. According to Skalski, among recent Tortricidae, only Spatalistis has M 3 and CuA 1 veins stalked in both the fore and hindwing. However, Skalski acknowledged that the wing shape and at least two venational features of Spatalistiforma are different from those found in Spatalistis and allied genera. There are no characters that convincingly assign the specimen to Tortricidae, and there are subtle features that suggest it is not a tortricid. The overall shapes of both the forewing and hindwing are not particularly characteristic of Tortricidae. In the forewing the termen is strongly angled inward, giving it an appearance that is more tineoid than tortricoid. In most tortricids, especially Tortricini (and most other Tortricinae), the termen is oblique or slightly angled inward, giving the forewing a much more triangular appearance. Plus, the forewing pattern (which appears to be somewhat intact) is reminiscent of a tineid and not a tortricid. The unusual, long, slender scales from the costa of the forewing are present in no known tortricids, but we know of no other family with such forewing scales. The hindwing, likewise, has a shape that is more typical of Tineoidea and/or Yponomeutoidea (e.g. Plutellidae, Yponomeutidae), somewhat broadly lanceolate-rounded. In Fig. 4b the vague presence on the hindwing of a darker patch reminiscent of male secondary scales found in many tortricids is actually a detached leg with a tibial spur. Overall, the specimen bears little resemblance to Spatalistis, which has a strongly oblique forewing termen and raised scales on the forewing. This fossil was used as a calibration point in the divergence time study by Fagua et al. (2017) to give a minimum age to Tortricinae. Based on the reasons given above, we find the original interpretation of the fossil as a tortricid unwarranted and its use as a calibration point for the purpose intended incorrect., Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on page 52, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/3066097, {"references":["Skalski, A.

Polyvena horatis Poinar & Brown, 1993 Excavation locality and depository: George Poinar, Jr. private collection (Holotype: L-3-24)/ Dominican Republic: Cordillera Septentrional between Santiago and Puerto Plata, La Toca group of mines (Dominican Amber, La Toca Fm.)/Burdigalian, Early Miocene. The fossil was examined by JWB. Published illustrations: Poinar and Brown 1993: 26, 28, figs 1–3. Condition: The amber piece is roughly elliptical in shape (27 × 16 × 4 mm). The fossil is an adult male with a forewing length of 5.8 mm. The specimen is entirely intact with most of the mouthparts and legs visible, and it is exceptional in that the wings are spread allowing the examination of the venation and showing a hint of raised scales. The elongate external portion of the valvae of the genitalia can also be observed. Comments: Poinar and Brown (1993) provide a detailed description and illustrations of the moth. The authors place the fossil with certainty in the extant subfamily Chlidanotinae based on the presence of the following characters: a generalized wing venation with hindwing veins M 2 and M 3 widely distant, raised scale tufts on the forewing, and elongate valvae. Unfortunately, the most compelling morphological character that supports the monophyly of the subfamily is the presence of a deep longitudinal invagination on the male valva holding a hairpencil arising from the eighth abdominal segment (Horak & Brown 1991), which is not visible on the fossil moth. In the molecular phylogeny of Tortricidae by Regier et al. (2012), Chlidanotinae was not recovered as monophyletic, and a paraphyletic Chlidanotinae was chosen as the working hypothesis. Regier et al. (2012) confirmed that Chlidanotinae (as monophyletic or paraphyletic) are the most basal tortricid lineage and recognized the division of the subfamily into three tribes: Polyorthini plus a monophyletic Hilarographini + Chlidanotini, with Polyorthini as the first lineage to diverge. Fagua et al. (2017) also recovered a paraphyletic Chlidanotinae as the basal-most lineages of Tortricidae. Poinar and Brown (1993) exclude the moth from Chlidanotini and Hilarographini because of differences in the morphology diagnostic of these tribes (e.g., members of these tribes lack raised scales of the forewing and most have conspicuously thickened antennae). Characters indicating that the moth likely belongs to Polyorthini include the termination of vein R 5 before the apex of the wing found in many Polyorthini; the presence of raised scales on the forewing, and the presence of elongate valvae in the male genitalia. However, the authors consider the assignment of the fossil specimen to this tribe tentative because the most convincing synapomorphies of the tribe are in the male genitalia, which are not visible in the fossil specimen. Nonetheless, we consider this specimen to be a member of Tortricidae. Polyvena horatis was used by Fagua et al. (2017) to give a minimum age to Chlidanotinae. This use of the fossil is problematic because, as noted above, the subfamily is not monophyletic. Fagua et al. (2017) chose to place the calibration point at the crown of Polyorthini following the suggestion by Poinar and Brown (1993) that the moth could belong in this tribe. Currently, Polyvena horatis is one of the most thoroughly described fossil tortricids. Although the specimen does not display the full suite of characters characteristic of Chlidanotinae or Polyorthini, the visible characters are in favor of this placement., Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on pages 47-48, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/3066097, {"references":["Poinar, G.

Electresia zalesskii Kusnezov, 1941 Figs 3 a–c. Excavation locality and depository: Formerly, the fossil was in the private collection of B. V. Miloradovitsch, Russia, but it is currently in the collection of the PIRAS Moscow (Holotype: no. 20). In the original description the inclusion is reported to be in Baltic amber (Baltic Region, Prussian Fm./Lutetian, Middle Eocene), but Prof. A. Rasnitsyn has examined the specimen and concluded it is copal (pers. comm.). The surface of this specimen, as that of the fossil pyraloid Glendotricha olgae Kusnezov, 1941, show greater deterioration than the other amber specimens dealt with in the same paper by Kusnezov (1941) and deposited at the PIRAS. In addition, solubility tests were conducted on small, detached pieces of Glendotricha olgae. In less than an hour in 95% alcohol, these particles turned into an opaque jelly-like mass, a reaction typical to copal but which never occurs when alcohol is applied to real Baltic amber (a succinite). Copal is younger than amber (Poinar 1992; Labandeira 2014), but a more precise age and origin of Electresia zalesskii are currently not known. The re-assessment of the fossil moth is based on the information and illustrations found in the original publication by Kusnezov (1941) and the examination of the specimen at the PIRAS (MH). Published illustrations: Kusnezov 1941: 63, figs 50–52 (drawings) and reproduction in Carpenter 1992: 374, fig. 2 (drawing). Condition: The irregularly shaped copal piece (21 × 23 × 8 mm) shows signs of physical degradation. The surface has a dense network of small cracks making it very difficult to examine the moth (forewing length 4.2 mm) within it (Fig. 3). The sex of the moth cannot be determined with certainty, but based on the absence of sensory setae on the flagellomeres of the antenna, it is likely a female. The wings are folded roof-like over the abdomen, so only the forewing venation can be observed; the legs are partly visible. Comments: Kusnezov (1941) assigned this fossil to “ Eucosmidae ” (now considered a tribe of Olethreutinae), indicating that it is closely allied to the genus Laspeyresia Hübner, 1825 (now Cydia in the tribe Grapholitini). This placement was based on a variety of morphological characteristics, including the following: length of the antennae (slightly longer than half the forewing length); configuration of the labial palpi (a short basal segment, a longer second segment, and a short, obtuse third segment); the absence of (or inconspicuous) maxillary palpi; the overall forewing shape (trapezoidal, 2.5 times long as wide, with apex rounded and obtuse, and termen slightly incurved at M 1) and venation (all veins present and separate beyond the discal cell, with well-developed chorda and M stem). The chaetosemata are not mentioned, and cannot be observed in this fossil. The scaling of the antennae is difficult to see, but it appears that there is only one row of scales. All of these features are highly consistent with the assignment of the specimen to Tortricidae, and the slightly undulate termen in forewings is certainly similar to that of many recent Olethreutinae (e.g. Irianassa Meyrick, 1905, Periphoeba Bradley, 1957). The monophyly of Olethreutinae is strongly supported by morphological (e.g. Horak 1998) and molecular data (e.g. Regier et al. 2012; Fagua et al. 2017). Horak (1998) stated that Olethreutinae differ from Tortricinae in the retention of the M-stem and the chorda in the forewing discal cell, but these plesiomorphic features are also present in some Chlidanotinae (Polyorthini and Hilarographini). Regardless of its tribal and/or subfamilial assignment, we conclude that this fossil belongs to Tortricidae., Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on pages 50-51, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/3066097, {"references":["Kusnezov, N.

Tortricibaltia diakonoffi Skalski, 1992 Excavation locality and depository: Skalski (1992) reported the FMNH Chicago as the depository of this fossil (Holotype: LEP.SUCC.49 NHMC/AWS/ Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/Lutetian, Middle Eocene). However, it was not found in the inventory by the FMNH entomology collection manager Crystal Maier and MH. The re-assessment is based on information in Skalski (1992). Published illustrations: Skalski 1992: 140, figs 1–5 (photographs and drawings). Condition: According to Skalski (1992), this amber fossil is 10 × 13 × 3 mm and mounted on a microscope slide. It is a male moth with the head, thorax (with legs), one pair of wings and the abdomen preserved. The forewing length is 5.0 mm. Comments: Tortricibaltia diakonoffi was first mentioned in Skalski (1976) without a description; hence, it was originally a nomen nudum. Skalski (1992) subsequently validated the taxon with a description. The wing venation is typical of Tortricidae, and the genitalia have a slender uncus and elongate valvae, consistent with its assignment to Tortricidae. By mistake, Tortricibaltia diakonoffi was placed under Olethreutinae in Sohn et al. (2012) (Prof. J.-C. Sohn, pers. comm.). Subsequently, in the divergence time analysis by Fagua et al. (2017) this fossil was used to give a minimum age to Olethreutinae. To support this placement, Fagua et al. (2017) mention “the presence of forewing veins M-stem and stem of R4+5”. Although these authors acknowledge that this is a plesiomorphic trait among extant Tortricidae, they mention that it is found almost exclusively in Olethreutinae. However, in the absence of other characters, we consider the evidence weak. In addition, the presence of a well developed CuP is somewhat troublesome. According to Horak (2006: 25), in Olethreutinae the cubitus posterior (CuP) is present with very few exceptions near the wing margin but never as a fully developed vein. In its reduced form, it is usually present, although it is absent altogether in Cochylini (Horak 1998: 199). Because the reported characters of the fossil do not include apomorphies or character combinations that would unambiguously place it reliably in any of the tortricid subfamilies or tribes, we find its use it as a calibration point to give a minimum age to Olethreutinae unfounded. Regardless of its tribal and/or subfamilial assignment, this fossil appears to be a tortricid., Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on page 47, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/3066097, {"references":["Skalski, A.

Antiquatortia histuroides Brown & Baixeras, gen. nov., sp. nov. Figs 2 a–d. Collection data and depository: AMNH, New York (Holotype: DR8-43)/ Dominican Republic: Cordillera Septentrional between Santiago and Puerto Plata, La Toca group of mines (Dominican Amber, La Toca Fm.)/ Burdigalian, Early Miocene. The specimen was borrowed and examined at the USNM. Published illustrations: Grimaldi & Engel 2005: 580, fig. 13: 47 (photograph). Condition: The piece of amber is elliptical in shape (45 × 23 × 7 mm). The fossil is a female moth with an intact head (although the right antenna is broken) with most of the mouthparts visible, and the left hind wing is nicely spread allowing the examination of both the fore- and hindwing venation. A mite is attached to its left compound eye.

Antiquatortia histuroides sp. nov. Description. Female. Forewing length 7 mm. Head as described above for the genus. Thorax: Dorsum with appressed scaling, presumably brown. Ventral side lighter in color. No trace of forewing pattern; traces of two patches of raised scales in identical positions on both forewings: one below the discal cell between the bases of M 3 and CuA 1, the other inside discal cell at base; some ill-defined intervenular patches of scales at costal level suggest the presence of a developed strigulae system. Abdomen: Tergites covered by wings. Sternites with appressed scales concolorous with thorax. Diagnosis. Antiquatortia histuroides is superficially similar to Polyvena horatis but is clearly discriminated by the generic-level characters discussed above in the generic diagnosis. Etymology. The specific name is a feminine singular adjective based on the genus name Histura Razowski, a diverse genus of Polyorthini in Central America, with the suffix “–oides”, meaning “similar to”. Type material: Holotype AMNH DR8-43 deposited at the AMNH, New York. U.S.A. Comments: The presence of ocelli and a frenulum with three acanthi are all typical female characters in Tortricinae and Polyorthini (Chlidanotinae); in females of Chlidanotini and Hilarographini, the two other tribes of Chlidanotinae, the frenulum usually has only two acanthi (Yang & Brown 2009). The chaetosemata, which are highly characteristic of Tortricidae and lacking in similar microlepidoptera, are not visible. Two rows of scales and extremely short sensory setae of the antenna are key features of Tortricinae (Horak & Brown 1991). The forewing venation is characteristic of many Archipini and Polyorthini, and the hindwing venation does not contradict this assignment. The slightly sinuate costa of the hindwing with a concave region preapically (Figs 2 a–b) is a feature that is found in many Archipini, a few Sparganothini (e.g., Amorbia Clemens, 1860), and many Eucosmini. The patches of raised scales are typical of Tortricini and Polyorthini, although present in a few genera scattered throughout the family (Fig. 2 c). The papillae anales are weak, but they appear to be flat as in most tortricids (Fig. 2 d). There is nothing that contradicts the assignment of this specimen to Tortricidae. This combination of characters, especially the raised forewing scales and somewhat elongate labial palpi, suggest that the specimen represents Polyorthini, and we provisionally assign it to that tribe. This assignment must be considered tentative because the most convincing synapomorphies of the tribe are in the genitalia and not visible in this fossil specimen.

Tortricites skalskii Kozlov, 1988 Excavation locality and depository: The specimen was described from the PIRAS, Moscow, but in a recent search was not found in the PIRAS collection (Prof. A. Rasnitsyn, pers. comm.). Holotype: PIN 964/659; PT: PIN 964/660)/ Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/ Lutetian, Middle Eocene. The re-assessment is based on the information and illustrations in Kozlov (1988) [original description in Russian]. Published illustrations: Kozlov 1988: 38, fig. 9 (drawing). Condition: The fossil (holotype) is in two fragments. Adult moth with head, partial body and wings. The forewing length is 6 mm. Comments: A drawing of the holotype is presented by Kozlov (1988), but some of the information given in the description comes from a fragment of the holotype not included in the drawing. Labial palpi are said to be short and tightly pressed to the head. The long haustellum is coiled into a spiral. The antennae extend beyond the middle of the forewings. The venation in the forewing and hindwing is complete and veins are separate beyond the discal cell. In the forewing, the vein that defines the distal end of the cell is rather narrow; and the bases of M 2, M 3, and CuA 1 are very close together. In the hindwings, Sc ends near the apex of the wing, and R extends to the apex; M 3 and CuA 1 are close together at the base. Based on the characters that can be observed, in particular the wing venation, the fossil most likely belongs to Tortricidae. The tribal assignment to Grapholitini (formerly Laspeyresiini) is also possible based on the short labial palpi appressed to the face, which are found in very few other tortricids., Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on page 46, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/3066097, {"references":["Kozlov, M.

Tradicionalmente se ha considerado a las barrenetas como plagas secundarias del cultivo de caqui en la Comunidad Valenciana. Sin embargo, la proliferación de este cultivo ha ido acompañada de un incremento en los daños producidos por estas plagas. En este trabajo se describen las dos especies de barreneta que se han encontrado hasta la fecha en este cultivo, Cryptoblabes gnidiella Millière (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) y Anatrachyntis badia (Hodges) (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) y se dan una pautas para su correcta identificación. Ambas especies coexisten y realizan el mismo daño en el fruto, por lo que para una buena gestión de estas especies se precisa de una correcta identificación.
