Heliothinae
Heliothinae is a small, cosmopolitan subfamily of moths in the family Noctuidae, with about 400 described species worldwide. It includes a number of economically significant agricultural pest species, such as '' Helicoverpa armigera'' and ''Helicoverpa zea''. Taxonomy The subfamily has been studied extensively. Important works include studies by Hardwick (1965 and 1970) and Matthews (1988). Distribution and diversity Heliothinae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of around 400 species. Its species thrive in hot, dry regions of the world, and the subfamily has its highest species diversity in seasonally-arid tropics and subtropics, such as those found Australia, sections of Asia, the southwest region of the United States, and Africa. Larvae The subfamily includes both specialist species, of which the larvae feed on only a limited range of plants, and polyphagous generalist species. The subfamily contains several agricultural pests, including '' Helicoverpa armigera'', ''Helicoverpa as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chloridea Virescens Chickory
''Chloridea'' is a genus of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are at least three described species in ''Chloridea''. The species of ''Chloridea'' were formerly members of the genus ''Heliothis'', but were moved to ''Chloridea'' when it was reinstated as valid genus as a result of research published in 2013. Species These species belong to the genus ''Chloridea'': * '' Chloridea subflexa'' (Guenée, 1852) (subflexus straw moth) * '' Chloridea tergemina'' (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874) * ''Chloridea virescens ''Chloridea virescens'', commonly known as the tobacco budworm, is a moth of the family Noctuidae found throughout the eastern and southwestern United States along with parts of Central America and South America.

Heliothis
''Heliothis'' is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae. It was first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. Some of the species have larvae which are agricultural pests on crop species such as tobacco, cotton, soybean and pigeon pea. Some species originally in this genus have been moved to other genera, see ''Chloridea'' and ''Helicoverpa''. Taxonomy Several species of moths of agricultural importance that used to be placed in this genus now are classified as members of the genus ''Helicoverpa'', such as the corn earworm, ''Helicoverpa zea''. The species '' subflexa'', '' tergemina'', and '' virescens'' are now members of the genus ''Chloridea''. Description The proboscis is fully developed. Palpi porrect (extending forward) and second joint evenly clothed with long hair. The third joint is short and depressed and a short frontal shift. Thorax and abdomen without tufts. Fore tibia has a pair of slender terminal spines, whereas mid and hind tibia also spined. Forewings w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
