CRLSSI SMITHSONIAN [INS TEPULTLCON MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 A Revision of the Peoritinae and Anerastiinae (Auctorum) of America North of Mexico (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) JAY C. SHAFFER Visiting Research Associate Smithsonian Institution SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. 1968 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the field of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contibutions from the United States National Herbarium. This work forms number 280 of the Bulletin series. Frank A.

In keeping with the original goals of the investigation, this paper treats all species formerly placed under that subfamily name, although Anerastia and several other genera are herein transferred to the Phycitinae, and Peoria is taken as the nominal genus of the subfamily. The transferred genera have not previously been treated in detail and so are discussed in this paper. The following introductory sections deal with the litera- ture and history of the classification of all the genera formerly placed in the Anerastiinae. The species of moths which previously constituted the subfamily Anerastiinae are a mixture of various pyralid elements. Members of this worldwide group are generally uncommon, rather inconspicuous insects of little or no economic importance, and perhaps largely for these reasons have received relatively little attention from taxonomists. Much of the work which has been done on the North American Anerastiinae appeared during the last 15 years of the 19th century and is superficial by current standards. The only world monograph of the group is that of Ragonot (1901). Because existing works on the anerastiines have not been based on the detailed examination of species which is so necessary to a natural taxonomic system, a number of areas remain as major problems. Identification of species has been difficult, even for specialists, be- cause the descriptions and illustrations are inadequate. Most of the original descriptions occupy but a few lines of text and are almost useless for identifying the species. Illustrations of the adults are nearly absent from the literature with the exception of the Ragonot revision, a rare publication not easily available to most workers. The genitalia, one of the most taxonomically useful structures, are nowhere illus- trated for North American species and are described in only a few instances. In addition most past studies were made from only one or a few specimens so that no account of individual and geographic varia- tion was possible. Thus, reliable identifications can be made only by comparison with the type specimens. This is difficult because the types are scattered in various museums throughout the United States and Europe. Placement of species into genera has been on the basis of usually one or a few superficial characters of wings, antennae, and palpi, 1 a U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 without emphasis on the sum of these characters and without examina- tion of the genitalia. As a result most species have been misplaced, often associated in Old World genera to which they have no close affinities. The Anerastiinae and Phycitinae have long been considered closely related within the Pyralidae and were often collectively recognized as the family Phycitidae. The two groups show close similarity in wing venation, notably the loss of vein R; in both groups. They also have similar palpi and the frenulum reduced to a single bristle in the females. Separation of the Anerastiinae from the Phycitinae has been made on the basis of a single reduction character, loss or extreme reduction of the tongue, hence the supposed monophyletic nature of the group has been highly questionable. The results of the present investigation indicate that in North America eight genera properly belong with the phycitines and seven genera, forming a natural group, are quite dis- tinctly separate from the Phycitinae. The latter of these two groups has been given subfamily status as the Peoriinae, a subfamily name proposed by Hulst. The present study is preliminary; essentially all that is known of the group is based on studies of the adults; the immature stages and the biology of the living insects are almost wholly unknown. Food plant records are available for only two species of peoriines, both grass feeders. Peoria bipartitella is reported to feed on Panicum lanuginosum, and Peoria tetradella on Elymus canadensis as a borer in the stem. The life history of Anerastia lotella, a Holarctic species, is well described in the literature, notably by Buckler (1901). The species feeds on a number of grasses including Ammophila arenaria, Festuca ovina, Secale cereale, and Azra species. It is hoped that this paper will encourage taxonomic and biological studies on the Peoriinae throughout their worldwide range.

TECHNIQUES.—Preparatory to examining the genitalia the abdomen was broken away from the thorax and macerated in cold 10 percent potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution for from 4 to 8 hours, then dissected in 50 percent alcohol. The abdomen was carefully torn open with jewelers’ forceps along the entire right pleural area, enabling the cuticle to be mounted flat with the outer surface upward. The genitalia were separated by carefully tearing along the membrane between segments eight and nine. After the removal of loose scales and KOH, the male genitalia were usually stained with mercurochrome (0.3 percent aqueous solution), or occasionally with chlorazol black or acid fuchsin to improve rendition of various structures. The aedeagus was removed, and the valves were spread and held open by a small rectangular section of microscope slide placed over the genitalia. The genitalia were held in this position in 95 percent alcohol until hardened, then transferred successively to clove oil and xylene for about 15 minutes each, prior to mounting in Canada balsam on a microscope slide. Female genitalia were put through the same series of chemicals as those of the males, but were usually stained with chlorazol black or mercurochrome. In order to allow observation from any desired angle the genitalia of at least one specimen of each sex of each species were transferred from xylene into small (5 x 10 mm) genitalia vials, along with a drop of Cargille’s type A microscope immersion oil; the males were left unspread. These specimens were eventually washed in xylene and mounted in balsam; before mounting they proved very useful in preparing descriptions because it was possible to study the relation- ships of the various structures. Attempts to spread the male genitalia of the Peoriinae in the manner described above caused considerable distortion; thus the method had to be modified. If one will visualize the external male genitalia as the aedeagus and a surrounding cylinder, and then the cylinder as severed lengthwise, the genitalia can be ‘‘unrolled” and 4 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 flattened. In practice this was achieved by carefully separating the right valve from the vinculum and tearing the diaphragma so that the juxta remains adjacent to the right valve. The method was highly satisfactory as all the genitalic structures then lay flat in one plane. The genitalia were held flat, run through the alcohol, clove oil, xylene series, and mounted as explained above. Illustrations of the peoriine species and several other species were made with the male genitalia prepared in this manner. Trrms.—The Comstock-Needham system has been used in naming the wing veins (fig. 50). I have followed Kornerup and Wanscher (1962) for color terminology, viewing both the color plates and the specimen by incandescent illumination. Physiographic distribution terminology follows Lobeck (1948). Unless otherwise indicated, the phrase “North America” is taken to mean America north of Mexico.

Review of the Literature The genus Anerastia Hiibner [1826] originally comprised four species; three of these were transferred to Hypochalcia Hiibner by Zeller (1848), and the one remaining species, lotella Hiibner [1810- 1813], was assumed to be the type of the genus although it was not explicitly designated as such until 1886 by Moore. In the original publication of lotella, Hiibner gives only a watercolor figure, no description. Genitalia of both sexes were figured and described briefly by Pierce (1938). Walker (1866) originally described approximella, the same species later being named haematica by Zeller (1872), and roseatella by Packard (1873). Zeller’s paper included descriptions of three other new species of North American Anerastiinae. In 1886 Ragonot established the family Phycitidae, based on Phycita Curtis, and divided it into the subfamilies Phycitinae and Anerastiinae based upon the ‘‘absence, or nearly so, of the tongue” in the latter group. He states his intention to prepare a monograph of the Phycitidae and Galleridae of the world and gives a review of previous works on these insects. The publication of Hulst’s ‘Descriptions of New Pyralidae” (1886) prompted Ragonot to publish new species of his own in advance of the projected monograph. The appearance of the Hulst papers at this time was in some respects unfortunate, for in the next several years both men published many new specific and generic names without seeing each other’s types, thereby creating many synonyms. During 1887-89 Ragonot published 16 species and 15 genera, and Hulst published 7 species and 4 genera listed as new for the North American Anerastiinae. 6 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 Grote (1888) regarded “. .. the Phycidae or Phyciinae as a sub-family of the Pyralidae; the M. Ragonot’s Anerastinae [sic] as merely a tribal division of the sub-family.” The first paper summarizing knowledge of the Anerastiinae was Hulst’s (1890) ‘Revision of American Phycitidae.”” Therein he divided the family into the subfamilies Phycitinae and Peoriinae, the latter group largely corresponding to Ragonot’s Anerastiinae, but excluding Anerastia and two other genera. The division was rather auspiciously made on the basis of the male genitalia, but unfortunately his assignment of genera into the two groups suggests that he neglected careful examination of these structures for most species. Indeed, genitalia are discussed for only 4 of the 19 peoriine genera included in the paper. The revision treats 30 species in 19 genera of Peoriinae, with 7 of the species and 4 of the genera being described as new. The great world monograph of Ragonot (1901) was completed by Sir George F. Hampson after the author’s death in 1895 and contains descriptions of 31 species and illustrations in color of 30 species (lotella Hiibner not being illustrated) of North American Anerastiinae placed in 17 genera. Three species and one genus were described as new. A number of the specific names have since been synonymized, and several of the genera have been found not to be North American. Hampson’s (1918) classification of the subfamily termed the group Hypsotropinae based on Hypsotropa Zeller. He considered dignella Hiibner to be the type of Anerastia, but Ragonot (1901) had already designated lotella Hiibner as such. His paper covers the entire group and ascribes one new species to the North American fauna. Sixteen new specific names have been added to the literature since the publication of Ragenot’s monograph, these mostly in occasional papers by Dyar (1904, 1904a, 1906, 1908, 1923), Barnes and McDun- nough (1913), Hampson (1918, 1930), and Grossbeck (1917). The most recent checklist for North America (McDunnough, 1939) gives 23 genera and 51 species, plus 1 genus and 10 species as junior synonyms. Heinrich’s ‘‘Revision of the New World Phycitinae’’ (1956) transfers a number of genera across the subfamily lines. Classification As has been indicated previously, available information on the Anerastiinae is minimal, so that the present study is only a step toward a more reliable taxonomic system such as exists for many better known groups of insects. Nevertheless, morphological studies of adult specimens indicate that radical changes in the classification of the Anerastiinae are needed. REVISION OF PEORIINAE AND ANERASTIINAE a I have accepted the male genitalia as being the most reliable morphological indicators of natural relationships, especially at the generic level. They offer a relatively large number of stable characters. Female genitalia are in many cases too similar to be of much value in separating species, and even genera. Characters of wings, antennae, and palpi previously used to define genera often exhibit more intra- generic than intergeneric variation and consequently are by them- selves extremely unreliable indicators of generic lines. Numerous examples of wing venation variability could be given, and the following will illustrate the lack of reliability of venational characters: In the genus Peoria the presence or absence in the fore- wing of vein M; does not correlate with any other morphological feature investigated. This vein was present in about one-half of the specimens of P. santaritella, and one specimen possessed M; only on the right wing. Aberrations in the wing venation are very common within the subfamily, and the usefulness of any particular venational feature must be evaluated separately. Orientation of the palpi may vary with the sex, and in living specimens the position they assume may be different from that found in dead specimens after desiccation. Unfortunately, most species have been described from very small series of specimens, so the variation has not always been apparent. Thus the use of this character in assigning species to genera has proved to be extremely unreliable. The definition of the Anerastiinae has not generally been regarded as very satisfactory. Although most of the species have a distinctive habitus, this and the reduced tongue are not, in the absence of other substantial correlated characters, sufficient to define the group. Heinrich (1956), following Ragonot’s division of the Phycitidae, felt that ‘. . . in the main the subfamilies [Phycitinae and Anerastiinae] themselves appear to be natural entities, although their definition leaves much to be desired.” On the basis of the genitalia, the North American Anerastiinae divide into two distinctly separate groups. One of these groups is composed of eight phycitine genera, including Anerastia, which seem to be related to diverse areas of that subfamily, and the remaining seven genera comprise a natural group, the Peoriinae. The genitalia of both sexes in the peoriines differ distinctly from those in the phycitines. Females all have the ovipositor greatly com- pressed, probably as an adaptation for a particular mode of oviposi- tion. In the males the uncus is so different from its usual appearance in the phycitines as to be nearly unrecognizable in the North American species. Indeed, the assumption that these terminal parts represent uncus is based on an examination of several Old World peoriine 8 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 genera in which the uncus is similar, in varying degrees, to that of the phycitines. A number of other features are generally, but not exclusively, characteristic of the Peoriinae. In all species the males have two to five (possibly more) basal antennal segments fused to some degree, the exact number often varying within a species. Longitudinal wing markings are more common than transverse ones, and the ocelli are well developed in all the species examined. Inasmuch as the present state of our knowledge is so unsatisfactory, the author hopes to undertake studies of the group on a world basis to better deal with the problem. The interpretation of just how closely the Phycitinae and the Peoriinae are related will depend in part on how homologies between the male genitalic structures of the two groups are interpreted, and in part on the significance of the compressed ovipositor. A better understanding of this problem will require examination of the genitalic structures of all the species, and perhaps studies of their embryology and soft-part anatomy as well. Life history studies would be extremely valuable and should help to elucidate the functional significance of the compressed Ovipositor. Subfamily Peoriinae ' Hulst Hulst, 1890, p. 102.

Key to Genera of Peoriinae Based Upon the Male Genitalia Within the Peoriinae intrageneric variation of alar, palpal, and antennal features seriously limits their usefulness in separating genera. In the absence of other distinguishing features, keys to genera must rely on characters of the male genitalia. Whenever slide preparation is impractical, reasonably certain determinations can often be made by comparing external features of the specimens to descriptions and photographs of adults. Genitalia slides should be prepared if correct identification is critical. It is suggested that the indicated figures be consulted when using the keys. 1.

Derscription.—Labial palpi porrect (obliquely ascending in lutei- costella); tongue rudimentary; antennae with base compressed, male shaft with basal segments partly fused, female with shaft filiform, finely ciliate. Forewings with 10 or 11 veins; R, from cell well before upper outer angle; R» from cell near base of or stalked with R344; Ray, always stalked, from just before the angle; M, from the angle; M; stalked or fused with M;; M; sometimes stalked with Cu,; Cu, at or near lower outer angle of cell; Cuz from just before the angle. Hindwings with 6 or 7 veins; Se and Rs closely approximate or stalked; M, from upper REVISION OF PEORIINAE AND ANERASTIINAE 11 outer angle of cell; Mz absent; M; stalked with Cu, for at least one- third of its length, sometimes fused; Cu, from lower outer angle; Cuz from just before the angle. Male genitalia with uncus bearing bandlike medial process; spicate processes each terminating in slender, sharply pointed ventrad and caudad arms. Gnathos arms broad and flat. Vinculum well developed, broadly rounded. Aedeagus somewhat flattened, three to four times as long as broad; vesica, when armed, bearing one or two cornuti. Female genitalia with posterior and anterior apophyses of about equal length, well developed. Ductus bursae moderately short. Bursa unarmed. Ductus seminalis from posterior end of bursa, broadened at base. Discussion.—The genus includes 13 known species and is the largest in the American fauna of the subfamily. Affinities vary within the genus, and the species have been grouped to show relationships in so far as this is possible with a linear arrangement. There is enough variation of characters within many of the species to render difficult the construction and use of keys. To aid in the identi- fication of specimens, a chart summarizing the characters found to be of greatest value in separating species is included in addition to the key. In a few cases the male genitalia are quite distinctive of the species, but for the most part the differences are rather subtle. The form of the gnathos, number of cornuti in the vesica, and shape of the valvae (not summarized in table, see figures) are the most useful characters of the male genitalia. Navasota hebetella may belong to Peoria and has been included in the key (see Unplaced Genera and Species, p. 87). In accordance with the recommendation of the Code (Article 24), I have chosen the name Peoria for this genus rather than the lesser known Aurora which has page precedence. Explanation of Table 1 1.

Discusston.—The species shows close affinities to tetradella and floridella, particularly to the latter. 20 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 Wing maculation in opacella is rather variable, especially with respect to the degree of white tracing on the veins. The variation is apparent within local populations and does not appear to be geographic. Peoria floridella, new species Figures 8, 55, 74, 109 Draenosts.—The species is rather similar to opacella in most re- spects, but is easily distinguished by the white trace on forewing vein Ao.

Discusston.—This form has its closest affinities to opacella, and differs mainly in size and in that the valvae are rounded and lack the REVISION OF PEORIINAE AND ANERASTIINAE Ft pointed apex of that species. The most obvious distinctions are those of size, floridella having an alar expanse of 25 mm to 28 mm in the specimens examined, contrasted with about 18 mm to 22 mm for opacella, and maculation, the forewing veins all showing a prominent white trace in the former species. In opacella the white trace is less distinct and essentially absent on Az. The maxillary palpi are moder- ately short in the Florida species, not nearly attaining the frons as in opacella, and the frons itself is clothed with white-tipped brown scales in the latter species rather than the solid brown scales of floridella.

Either the presence of two cornuti on the vesica of the aedeagus or the absence of medial or lateral processes on the gnathos will de- limit males of johnstoni from the above three species. Description.—Frons conical, reddish brown; labial palpi with basal segments white, second and third segments reddish brown dorsally and on outer sides, lighter ventrally and on inner sides; maxillary palpi small; antennae light brown, scape light pink an- teriorly, male subserrate; occiput, patagia, and tegulae reddish brown, vertex somewhat lighter. Forewings brownish orange; Sc, radials, cubitals, M3, and Az white traced, costa traced with narrow inconspicuous white line; brownish orange on lower surface. Venation as in P. bipartitella. Male genitalia with medial process of uncus bearing small ventral bulge at apex. Gnathos weakly sclerotized, without apical or lateral processes. Juxta U-shaped. Valvae with costa sparsely setose; sacculus densely setose. Aedeagus with vesica bearing pair of ovate subserrate cornuti. Female genitalia with ovipositor moderately setose along caudal margin. Posterior apophyses straight, base flat and shaped like parallelogram with short side horizontal; anterior slightly curved, tapering gradually to thickened base.

Subfamily Phycitinae Ragonot The following seven genera which were previously placed in the Anerastiinae and a new genus, Wakulla, established for Bandera carneella, are transferred to the Phycitinae. The relationships within the Phycitinae are clear for only a few of the eight genera. Anerastia and Coenochroa show affinities with each other but none with any particular group in the Phycitinae. Barberia is closely related to Anderida, and Bandera to Anagasta. The other four genera have typical phycitine genitalia, although their exact place- ment within the subfamily is uncertain. Of these four, Ragonotia and Martia are closely related and have typical phycitine wing maculation. 5S U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 280 Anerastia Hiibner Anerastia Hiibner [1816]-[1826], p. 367.
