The type specimens of the seven taxa of the clearwing moth genus Melittia Hubner, [1819], namely, M. astarte (Westwood, 1848), M. chrysogaster Walker, [1865], M. humerosa Swinhoe, 1892, M. phorcus (Westwood, 1848), M. rutilipes Walker, [1865], M. siamica Walker, [1865] and M. strigipennis Walker, [1865] deposited in the Hope Entomological Collection of the University Museum, Oxford University, Oxford, England, are revised and illustrated. The last species is restored from a synonym of M. eurytion (Westwood, 1848). M. humerosa is cited as a synonym of M. sangaica Moore, 1877. The brief discussion of the type species of the genus Melittia is presented.

Larval instars and development of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae)

Show abstractHide abstract

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, was reared at different temperatures of 5℃ intervals between 20℃ and 35℃ to determine the number of larval instars and development. The populations reared at 20℃ and 25℃ had eight larval instars, while those 30℃ and 35℃ had seven. Temperatures experienced in the first instar were critical and resulted in different numbers of instars. The temperature between 25℃ and 30℃ will be critical dividing larvae in different moulting numbers. Head width within the same instar reared at different temperatures, however, showed no difference.

A study of karyological traits of male F_1 hybrids between Mycalesis gotama fulginia Fruhstorfer, 1911 and Mycalesis madjicosa amamiana Fujioka, 1975 (Lepidoptera, Satyridae)

Male F_1 hybrids between Mycalesis gotama fulginia and M. madjicosa amamiana (cf. Table 1) possess twenty-eight haploid chromosomes. The shapes of the chromosomes at metaphases-I and -II are round or somewhat oval, and their outlines are even in polar view. The conjugation of the chromosomes at metaphase-I occurs in a regular fashion, showing the usual circular arrangement on the equational plane. These facts are suggestive of high chromosomal homology of their parents, revealing a systematic kinship between the two taxa of Mycalesis.

Ourapteryx puncticulosa sp. n. is described from central China. The new species exhibits a number of characters now very common in this genus. Most of them are presumably plesiomorphic and the new species is therefore considered to be the most primitive taxon within the genus Ourapteryx Leach presently known.
