\"The subfamilies Salassinae and Agliinae are two monogeneric groups of the family Saturniidae. They were regarded as the non-cocooning saturniids in Asia. Since very little information on their life history and mitogenome has been reported, their origin and evolution are still poorly understood. In this study, nature-imitated rearing is used to record the life history of two Aglia and five Salassa species. In addition, four complete mitogenomes are presented, which are the first ones of these two subfamilies. The results show that both Salassinae and Agliinae have lost their cocooning. Moreover, the phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that the subfamily Saturniinae is not monophyletic due to the inclusion of Agliinae and Salassinae.\"

in June\–July 2023 during an expedition to the out-of-the-way northern part
of the Bureinsky Range and in 2022\–2023 in Chegdomyn town. The species
Zaranga tukuringra Streltzov \& Yakovlev, 2007 (Notodontidae) was found in
the Khabarovsk Kray for the first time. One male of this species was collected
near the mouth of the Seregekta River in the upper reaches of the Bureya
River. Previously, the species was not known outside the western part of
the Amur Oblast (Zeya Nature Reserve and Urusha town). Calliteara axutha
(Collenette, 1934) (Lymantriidae) was found in coniferous forests of the middle
mountains of the Bureinsky Range. Previously, this species was recorded for
the territory of Russia by a single male from Tyrma (the southern part of
the Bureinsky Range). Seven species, Gastropacha orientalis Sheljuzhko, 1943
(Lasiocampidae), Peridea oberthueri (Staudinger, 1892), Gonoclostera
timoniorum (Bremer, 1861) (Notodontidae), Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus,
1758), Telochurus recens (H\übner, 1819) (Lymantriidae), Collita griseola
(H\übner, [1803]), and Rhyparia purpurata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Arctiidae) were
first recorded for the upper Bureya river basin. It was established that the area
near the mouth of the Seregekta River is the northern limit of the distribution
in the Bureya river basin for Gastropacha orientalis (Lasiocampidae), Actias
artemis (Bremer et Gray, 1852) (Saturniidae), Mimas christophi (Staudinger,
1887), Notodonta stigmatica Matsumura, 1920, Peridea oberthueri, Gonoclostera
timoniorum (Notodontidae), Calliteara axutha (Lymantriidae), and Pericallia
matronula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Arctiidae). New finds of Cilix filipjevi Kardakoff,
1928 (Drepanidae) and Stauropus fagi (Linnaeus, 1758) (Notodontidae)
indicate the ongoing naturalization of these subboreal species in the upper
reaches of the Bureya River.\"

\"The purpose of this study was to examine the species diversity of moths from Panvel and to contribute to the development of ideas for future research into the impact of anthropogenic stress on moth diversity. The study was carried out from May 2020 to April 2021 for a period of one year. Study sites were selected on the basis of strategic locations and their habitat closeness to ongoing construction of Navi Mumbai International Airport and anthropogenic activities. Moths were surveyed by systematic and opportunistic field visits during day time and with use of light traps during night. Instead of collection of representative species, moths were photographed and primary identification was done using colour photographs. A total of 45 moth species representing 41 genera, 25 subfamilies, 11 families and 6 superfamilies were recorded. Family Erebidae includes most of the species (19) followed by the families Noctuidae and Sphingidae (6 species of each) and Geometridae (4). Families Saturniidae, Uraniidae and Crambidae each includes 2 species where as remaining four families were represented by one species each. Species diversity of moths from Panvel is dominated by species of Erebidae, Noctuidae, Sphingidae and Geometridae. Long term monitoring and more comprehensive study is recommended to record the entire moth fauna from Panvel, Navi Mumbai. Sustainable use and conservation of the natural resources of the region will help to increase the overall biodiversity of the Navi Mumbai. This checklist will act as a baseline for more comprehensive work in future on diversity of moths from this region.\"

\"Actias angulocaudata was reared for the first times in China in 2018 and 2020 and the foodplant in nature was discovered to be Keteleeria (Pinaceae), revealing that it belongs to the felicis-group, and is not closely related to Actias sinensis with adults that closely resemble those of A. angulocaudata. The foodplant records of all the conifer feeding Actias are reviewed. Characteristics of the eyespots on the wings are identified that predict which species feed on confers as larvae. A parasitoid (Braconidae: Microgastrinae) is reported to attack mature larvae of A. angulocaudata. A sexual mosaic of this Actias is also described, showing male and female features in wing color and genitalia. Taxonomy of the felicis-group is discussed, and two new synonymies are proposed. The silver markings on larvae of Actias are noted for other groups of Saturniidae (Bunaeini and Ceratocampinae), Sphingidae, Notodontidae, and other insects that feed on the same foodplants, namely conifers and arborescent Fabaceae with tiny leaflets.\"

\"The Filippi\’s glands (FGs), formerly \“Lyonet\’s glands\”, are paired accessory organs associated with the silk glands. They are unique to Lepidoptera caterpillars and their exact role is not clear. The FGs are thought to be involved in the construction of a silk cocoon in bombycoid moths. FGs can differ in size and shape, therefore, in this study we attempt to find a correlation between FG morphology and phylogenetic position within the Bombycoidea. We use light and electron microscopy to examine the presence and morphology of FGs in a range of wild (giant) silk moths and several related species. Our results confirm that the majority of studied silk moth species have complex type of FGs that continuously increase in size during larval development. We identified several species of giant silk moths and two hawk moth species that completely lack FGs throughout their larval development. Finally, in several hawk moth species in which FGs are well developed during the first larval stage, these glands do not grow and remain small during later larval growth. Our results suggest that FGs are not critical for spinning and that loss of FGs occurred several times during the evolution of saturniids and sphingids. Comparison of FGs in different moths is an important first step in the elucidation of their physiological significance.\"

\"Zolotuhin (2011) \"The Actias Leach, 1815, in the Far East: how many species\" is reviewed and following opinions against the paper are proposed mainly according to the type figures in this paper. 1) There is a possibility that Actias artemis (Bremer \& Grey, 118531 1852) should be a subspecies of A. selene. A specimen of A. gnoma mandschurica Staudinger, 1892 in Jpmoth website (http:// www.jpmoth.org) referring by this paper is that of A. aliena (due to misidentification). 2) The Russian specimen of A. gnoma in the figure (Fig. 28) is also misidentification of A. aliena. 3) The neotype of A. apollo Rober, 1923 can be identified as a summer form of A. gnoma. The disignation [sic] of neotype based on a bred specimen with label \"Japan\" is unsuitable because such ambiguous collecting information must cause an issue for subsequent discussions on the subspecific classification of this species. 4) Both of the type of A. dulcinea (Butler, 1881) and A. sjoqvusti Bryk, 1948 can be identified as spring forms of A. aliena. 5) Both of the types of A. xenia Jordan, [1912] and A. jordani Niepelt, 1936 can be identified as yellowish variations of summer forms of A. aliena. A. aliena yakushimensis Kishida, 1994 should be retained as a valid subspecies because this population have two distinct characters, the smaller body size and yellowish wings even in the spring form.\"

\"Acoustic signals produced by caterpillars have been documented for over 100 years, but in the majority of cases their significance is unknown. This study is the first to experimentally examine the phenomenon of audible sound production in larval Lepidoptera, focusing on a common silkmoth caterpillar, Antheraea polyphemus (Saturniidae). Larvae produce airborne sounds, resembling \‘clicks\’, with their mandibles. Larvae typically signal multiple times in quick\  succession, producing trains that last over 1\·min and include 50\–55 clicks. Individual clicks within a train are on average 24.7\·ms in duration, often consisting of multiple components. Clicks are audible in a quiet room, measuring 58.1\–78.8\·dB\·peSPL at 10\·cm. They exhibit a broadband frequency that extends into the ultrasound spectrum, with most energy between 8 and 18\·kHz. Our hypothesis that clicks function as acoustic aposematic signals, was supported by several lines of evidence. Experiments with forceps and domestic chicks correlated sound production with attack, and an increase in attack rate was positively\  correlated with the number of signals produced. In addition, sound production typically preceded or accompanied defensive regurgitation. Bioassays with invertebrates (ants) and vertebrates (mice) revealed that the regurgitant is deterrent to would-be predators. Comparative evidence revealed that other Bombycoidea species, including Actias luna (Saturniidae) and Manduca sexta (Sphingidae), also produce airborne sounds upon attack, and that these sounds precede regurgitation. The prevalence and adaptive significance of warning sounds in caterpillars is discussed.\"

\"Recent advancements in molecular sequencing techniques have led to a surge in the number of phylogenetic studies that incorporate large amounts of genetic data. We test the assumption that analyzing large number of genes will lead to improvements in tree resolution and branch support using moths in the superfamily Bombycoidea, a group with some interfamilial relationships that have been difficult to resolve. Specifically, we use a next-gen data set that included 19 taxa and 938 genes (\∼1.2M bp) to examine how codon position and saturation might influence resolution and node support among three key families. Maximum likelihood, parsimony, and species tree analysis using gene tree parsimony, on different nucleotide and amino acid data sets, resulted in largely congruent topologies with high bootstrap support compared with prior studies that included fewer loci. However, for a few shallow nodes, nucleotide and amino acid data provided high support for conflicting relationships. The third codon position was saturated and phylogenetic analysis of this position alone supported a completely different, potentially misleading sister group relationship. We used the program RADICAL to assess the number of genes needed to fix some of these difficult nodes. One such node originally needed a total of 850 genes but only required 250 when synonymous signal was removed. Our study shows that, in order to effectively use next-gen data to correctly resolve difficult phylogenetic relationships, it is necessary to assess the effects of synonymous substitutions and third codon positions.\"
