The hawkmoth fauna of Pakistan (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae).
This study represents the first complete modern account of the Sphingidae of Pakistan and takes the form of an annotated checklist, based on several national collections and those of a number of individuals. Of the 60 species and subspecies found, 14 are new records to the fauna of Pakistan, namely Agnosia orneus, Langia zenzeroides subsp. zenzeroides, Polyptychus trilineatus subsp. trilineatus...
متن کاملThe Occurrence of a Neotropical Hawkmoth in Southern Portugal: Agrius Cingulatus (fabricius, 1775) (lepidoptera: Sphingidae)
During September 2002 a male individual of the hawkmoth species Agrius cingulatus (Fabricius, 1775) was caught in southern Portugal which is perhaps the first specimen arriving unassisted and the third occurrence within the European continent in the last 276 years. The occurrence is discussed with some ideas on its origin.
متن کاملPerception of change in depth in the hummingbird hawkmoth Manduca sexta (Sphingidae, Lepidoptera)
Visual perception of depth change can be mediated monocularly by looming the apparent size increase of an approaching object. In Manduca sexta we recorded intracellularly from cells that detect both approach and retreat of an object. The cells compute looming in two fundamentally di!erent ways: class 1 neurons measure the change of perimeter/edge length of the object; class 2 neurons respond to...
متن کاملPhylogeny and Biogeography of Hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae): Evidence from Five Nuclear Genes
BACKGROUND The 1400 species of hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) comprise one of most conspicuous and well-studied groups of insects, and provide model systems for diverse biological disciplines. However, a robust phylogenetic framework for the family is currently lacking. Morphology is unable to confidently determine relationships among most groups. As a major step toward understanding relat...
متن کاملHistoric DNA for taxonomy and conservation: A case-study of a century-old Hawaiian hawkmoth type (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)
Analysing historic DNA from museum specimens offers the unique opportunity to study the molecular systematics and phylogenetics of rare and possibly extinct taxa. In the Hawaiian fauna, the hawkmoth, Hyles calida calida, occurs on several of the main islands and is quite frequent, whereas Hyles c. hawaiiensis is restricted to the Island of Hawaii where it appears to be very rare. Analysis of mi...
