Abstract

In the present paper, we examined Erebidae specimens collected from different parts of India, and describe a new species in Arctiinae, Miltochrista terrarega sp. nov. and report five species new to the Indian fauna: Ericeia sobria Walker, [1858] in Erebinae; Euproctis cryptosticta Collenette, 1934, Artaxa kanshireia (Wileman, 1910), Nygmia ganesa Kishida, 2020 and N. hanuman Kishida, 2020 in Lymantriinae. Genitalia of B. calopasa from India is also provided. We studied, for the first time, the females of N. ganesa and N. hanuman, and the female genitalia of A. kanshireia and E. cryptosticta. The diagnoses of all the seven species along with their habitus and genitalia illustrations are provided along with the distributions.

Abstract

A survey on lepidopteran pests of mangrove was conducted in different Islands of Sunderban Biosphere Reserve within the district of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India, over a period of 4 years (2012–2016). During the survey, a severe lepidopteran infestation was observed on the Avicennia alba Blume, which is one of the major mangrove species of Sunderbans. The life history of the lepidopteran species was studied in field as well as in laboratory conditions. The adults were identified as Hyblaea puera (Cramer, 1777) (Lepidoptera : Hyblaeidae) which is being reported for the first time from the Indian part of Sunderbans. The study revealed that the Hyblaea puera (Cramer, 1777) completed its life cycle in 21–25 days in both laboratory and field conditions. The biology and ecology of the said species and the nature of damage caused to the mangroves by these moths are discussed.
