Woodworms (Cossidae)

woodworms from Armenia

They resemble Dyspessacossus fereidun (Grumgrshimailo, 1895).

He's the one.
I can even feel the label-Armenia, Garni, Ghazaryan.
An interesting species is found in Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Iran.

salicicola and Kostiuki differ in their antennas
there are no transitions

Both butterflies-Crimea, Simferopol district, Krasnolesye village, June 19, 2008, born.
I "glued" the whiskers of each butterfly to the photos + images from the work: R. V. Yakovlev " New data on the distribution and taxonomy of Cossidae (Lepidoptera) Europe and adjacent territories ".

Based on the appearance, in my opinion, the pictures are typical Dyspessa kostjuki and Dyspessa arabeska.
Differences between the antennas of these two specimens could not be found. In both butterflies, the outgrowths are 1.5 times longer than the thickness of the rod. The width of the gap between the outgrowths is greater than the thickness of the outgrowth.

I quote " New data on...":
Dyspessa salicicola
Antenna with a double comb, the outgrowths of which are longer than the thickness of the tendril in the middle part of the antenna by more than 2 times, the width of the gap between the outgrowths is more than the thickness of the outgrowth.
..
Dyspessa kostjuki
Antenna with a double comb, the outgrowths of which are 1.5 times longer than the thickness of the tendril in the middle part of the antenna, the width of the gap between the outgrowths is less than the thickness of the outgrowth.
...
Dyspessa arabeska
Antenna with a double comb, the outgrowths of which are equal in length to the thickness of the antennae in its middle part, the width of the gap between the outgrowths is approximately equal to the thickness of the outgrowth.

Thus, the antennae of my specimens do not match the description of any of the three species listed above.
I hope to hear Mr. Yakovlev's explanation.

Why? In my opinion, just match-kostyuki and Arabesque. Look at the thick outgrowths on the thin mustache of the first and the thin outgrowths on the thick mustache of the second!

Vlad, these are just artifacts of photography, the result of transferring a three-dimensional object to a plane. Outgrowths are not flat plates, but convex-concave plates. In addition, they go in two rows. In the first picture, the outgrowths are slightly angled, so they appear wider. And in the second picture, the second, far row of outgrowths is visually superimposed on the rod - so it seems thicker than it is.
By the way, in the pictures both rods look a little thicker than they actually are. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shoot it more truthfully. At different angles, thick rods and thick, converging outgrowths were generally obtained.
I'll repeat it again - visually, under binoculars, I didn't notice the difference, no matter how hard I tried

Well, I don't know then-although where the barrel is, and where the plates of the far row are, I think I initially understood.
Let's see what Yakovlev has to say.

Poluofftop: and I have a Cossus cossus out today:

Thank you, friends, for maintaining the topic
Was away
Of course, the first is Kostiuki, and the second is not very clear. The arabesque is a bright, small butterfly, with a rounded apex P. K. and a bright pattern. Perhaps this is a deviant version of salicicola.
The images are excellent, and there is no doubt that the antennas are very similar here.
I wish I could pick up some biology. Or collect it for genetics! You can make an excellent article in collaboration.

And what about cossids with a well-known biology, a novel? Sparsely populated? Apart from cossus and zeusera, is there anything known about other, less well-known species? The question is not idle, by occupation you have to deal with their damage...

Yes, this is the one you're looking for. found

Well, offhand - Acossus terebra bores aspen, Phragmataecia castaneae-cane, Dyspessa ulula-onion, Paracossulus thrips-wormwood.

Well, offhand - Acossus terebra bores aspen, Phragmataecia castaneae-cane, Dyspessa ulula-onion, Paracossulus thrips-wormwood.

Amazing! Onion woodworms... But is it possible to completely separate the damage of cossus from woodworm? I.e. is there a hiatus, so to speak (including topographic )? The fact is that in the literature available to me, it is difficult to separate the authors ' own data from the damaged phone that was stolen from others. So, it is often written that the odorous treetop lives only in clumps. I also met obvious kossidnye damage, odorous most likely, at a height of several meters, and above, for example, clearly so eat elms. Again , how strong are the polyphages? Is it possible to distinguish the damage of odorous woodworm from aspen on one type of tree? Do different types of woodworms co-exist? This is offhand from the painful questions

A wonderful topic opened up. At the moment, I have prepared an article that summarizes all the data on the biology of Old World cossids. Today, we know the biology of 9% of species.
The most insane polyphages are of course the Zeuzers, where the leadership is held by Zeuzera coffeae Nietner - which cooks about 50 families of holosperms and angiosperms.
There are narrow monophages on onions, acacias, reeds, milkweeds, etc. Unfortunately, I will not be able to post the manuscript on the Internet right now, but I will advise you on European types.
It is difficult for me to say about the habitual handwriting of damage to certain cossids, you can see butterflies of Baden-Württemberg or Butterflies of Switzerland, there are photos of damage. By the way, I would be sincerely grateful to my colleagues for their help in selecting such photos. Tracks, damage. With your permission, I could publish these photos later in a planned book on Palearctic cossides. Thank you for developing and supporting the theme to everyone!!!

This is Catopta albonubila Staud.
Its range is Primorye, Amur, and Southern Transbaikalia.
What do you think, if I post good photos of kossidok with definitions? Maybe someone will need it

Can anyone help you identify a woodworm? I identified it as Holcocerus vicarius, but I doubt it a little. Caught in the Amur region. The wingspan is 58 mm.

Hang up. This is Streltzoviella insularis, a typical Far Eastern species.
By the way, where from the Amur region (to me for a point)?

I just noticed a message. As Roman defined it, it is Deserticossus tsingtauana (formerly Holcocerus vicarius in the old sense). Caught in the EAO on hr. Bol. Chocks. And Streltzoviella insularis is quite different, about 2 times smaller in size and the color details are different. These species flew together, so it was possible to compare.

Slovenia, karst plateau, May.
Who is it? It doesn't look very much like Ululu.

The most complex group of Palearctic cossids is the ulul group disperses.
90% of the population from the Balkans belongs to the taxon (species, subspecies?) pallidata Stgr., described from Turkey.
By the way, Turkey and Iran are the nodes of these taxa. Which is difficult to unravel. Thomas Witt, Aidas Saldaitis, and Manfred Schrele were the main helpers in unraveling this situation. Although, the solution to the issue is still far from ideal.
I was sent a series of dispess Matyash Ink, because I have the material.

Will it be released as part of "Palaearctic Macrolepidoptera" or any other series? Or by itself?

It will be released separately. Most likely in January.
Negotiations on the book in the MakroPal series are planned for December in Dresden. Schintlmeister is the editor of this series - and everything needs to be discussed in person.

They're creatures from New Guinea and all over Indonesia. All new views.

Comrades!
First of all – Mr. Yakovlev!
I am very interested in Stygioides colchicus. In NET, I didn't find anything on this type.
Put someone, please, if there is and if you do not mind an adequate photo of this creature. And then I didn't find anything normal in NET - some kind of trifle, you can't see anything... Other interesting things are the time of summer, preferred biotopes, and the" favorite food " of caterpillars.
Thank you to all who responded.
