Taxonomic Review on the Genus Sciota (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae) in Northeast China

Three species of the genus Sciota Hulst, 1888 are recognized from Northeast China: Sciota cynicella (Christoph, 1881), Sciota fumella (Eversmann, 1844), and Sciota adelphella (Fischer von Roslerstamm, 1836), of which Sciota cynicella (Christoph, 1881) is reported for the first time from China. This species can be distinguished from congeners by the gray color of basal area, the straight antemedial line and the distinct postmedial line on the forewing; by the stout aedeagus in male genitalia. In this study, a key to Northeastern Chinese species of genus Sciota is presented, and the illustrations of adults and genitalia are also provided.

Change Pattern of the Biodiversity of Insect fromSihwa Lake Region, Gyeonggi Province

Studying on insect diversity from reclaimed wetland in Sihwalake region has been conducted from 2005 to 2010. Totally, 30 times surveyed by day (24 times) and night (6 times) collecting.The daytime collecting method by sweeping, beating, brushing and others, that were depend on the conditions. The night collecting methods by using light trap (High Pressure Mercury Lamps (KSC7604) X 1, FL20SBL X 2). The results of this survey, a total of 255 species of76 families belonging to 10 orders were recorded in 2005; 273 species of83 families belonging to 10 orders were recorded in 2006; 282 species of 86 families belonging to 13 orders were recorded in 2007; 354 species of110 families belonging to 13 orders were recorded in 2008; 338 species of107 families belonging to 12 orders were recorded in 2009 and295 species of97 families belonging to 10 orders were recorded in 2010. The result of this study showed that, biodiversity of insect was continuously increased from 2005 to 2008, but it decreased from 2009. The remarkable species is Lycaenadisparaurata (Leech) that protect species of Incheon.

Overview of Pyraloidea fauna (Insecta, Lepidoptera) in Jilin Province of China

Pyraloidea is one of the larger superfamilies of Lepidoptera which comprises 16,000 named species (Kristensen, 1999). The larvae of Pyraloidea are generally concealed feeders. Most of pyraloid moths do harm to grains, vegetables, fruits and even insects. (Malcolm, 1992). Jilin Province is an important area of forestry and agriculture in NE China, many diseases and pests occurred each year. Accordingly to survey the diversity of Pyraloidea in Jilin Province is significant for systematic study and it is the basis for pests control in NE China.
