A new endemic clove tree pest of Cryptophasa Lewin, from Sangihe Island, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae).

A novel endemic pest of clove tree, Cryptophasa warouwi sp. nov., has been discovered on Sangihe Island.

Description of two new species in the genus Glyphodes Guene from Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Crambidae, Spilomelinae).

Two new species of Glyphodes Guene, 1854 from Indonesia are proposed as new to science, namely G. nurfitriae sp. nov.

The genus Agrioglypta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Crambidae, Spilomelinae) from Indonesia with descriptions of three new species.

Inventory studies on the genus Agrioglypta Meyrick, 1932 have been conducted in Java, Sulawesi, and Papua during 2007-2011. This study also aims to explore the diversity of Agrioglypta in Indonesia, and the possible apomorphic characteristics, especially genitalic characters, that support the monophyly of the genus. Three new species were discovered, A.

A streamlined collecting and preparation protocol for DNA barcoding of Lepidoptera as part of large-scale rapid biodiversity assessment projects, exemplified by the Indonesian Biodiversity Discovery and Information System (IndoBioSys).

Here we present a general collecting and preparation protocol for DNA barcoding of Lepidoptera as part of large-scale rapid biodiversity assessment projects, and a comparison with alternative preserving and vouchering methods. About 98% of the sequenced specimens processed using the present collecting and preparation protocol yielded sequences with more than 500 base pairs. The study is based on the first outcomes of the Indonesian Biodiversity Discovery and Information System (IndoBioSys).

Discovery of Cryptophasa Lewin, 1805 (Lepidoptera: Xyloryctidae) from Indonesia with the descriptions of three new species.

Three new species of Cryptophasa Lewin, 1805 are described from eastern Indonesia: C. watungi Sutrisno & Suwito, 2015 sp. nov.

A preliminary study on relationships among selected Australian members of the tribe Spilomelini (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Pyraustinae).

A preliminary study was conducted on phylogenetic relationships among some selected genera of the Australian Spilomelini, focusing on relationships among the Australian Glyphodes group (Glyphodes Guenée, 1854, Dysallacta Lederer, 1863, Talanga Moore, 1885 and Agrioglypta Meyrick, 1932) and the 17 genera which are morphologically similar to it. Representatives of three genera of the Pyarustini were used as outgroups. Cladistic analysis of morphological data from the adult moths produced 10 equally MP trees (length = 221, CI=0.
