| copitarsia decolora (lepidoptera: noctuidae) larvae escaping from discarded asparagus: data in support of a pathway risk analysis. | this research was undertaken to gather data in support of an assessment of the likelihood that copitarsia decolora (guenée) (lepidoptera: noctuidae), a pest of asparagus, asparagus officinalis l., and other crops, could escape from the pathway followed by asparagus from the field to the consumer. asparagus that is destroyed by cooking and consumption, being run through a trash compactor or garbage disposal, or being buried in a landfill probably cannot support development of c. decolora larvae. ... | 2006 | 17066789 |
| a review of the copitarsia decolora (guenée) (lepidoptera: noctuidae) species complex with the description of a new species from chile and argentina. | copitarsia gibberosa n. sp. is described from chile and argentina. morphological characters are discussed to differentiate it from copitarsia decolora (guenée), copitarsia incommoda (walker), and copitarsia corruda (pogue & simmons). copitarsia corruda has its status revised based on co1 and morphology. copitarsia paraturbata castillo & angulo is a new synonym of c. incommoda based on morphology. copitarsia uncilata burgos & leiva is a new synonym of c. decolora based on morphology. a review of ... | 2014 | 27193521 |
| [the moth copitarsia decolora: a review of the species complex based on egg and male genital morphology (lepidoptera: noctuidae)]. | copitarsia decolora is a widely distributed polyphagous species with a large number of nominal changes due to phenotypic plasticity. we reviewed 14 males from mexico, colombia, venezuela, peru and chile and the literature produced between 2003 and 2008. an analysis of the clasper complex of c. decolora male genitalia was performed by standard dissection. scanning electron microscope (sem) photographs of eggs structures were used as taxonomic characters. the genus copitarsia comprises 23 species. ... | 2010 | 20527474 |
| identification of the sex pheromone of copitarsia decolora (lepidoptera: noctuidae). | chemical and electrophysiological analyses and field trials were used to identify the female sex pheromone of copitarsia decolora (guenée) (lepidoptera: noctuidae). coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (gc-ead) analysis of the female gland extract showed the presence of two ead-active peaks, which were identified by gc-mass spectrometric (ms) analysis as (z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (z9-14:ac) and (z)-9-tetradecenol (z9-14:oh). the field evaluation of the ead-active compound ... | 2006 | 16813314 |
