Plant Families

The mint family, Lamiaceae is generally regarded as being one of the most highly derived plant families from the viewpoint of floral structures (Hedge 1992). The family is best known for their essential oils common to many members of the family and are a major source of culinary herbs. Within the subfamily Nepetoideae tribe Mentheae, the subtribe Salviineae includes 8 genera with about 954 species in the world (Harley et al. 2004). The genus Salvia L. (1753: 23) alone account for over 900 species in the subtribe and is the largest genera in Labiatae (Mabberley 2008). It is a tropical and subtropical genus mostly found in montane areas with the major diversity in Mediterranean, Central Asia, the highlands of Mexico and the Andes in South America (Rodrigues-Hahn et al. 1992).

Seed Infestation

The weevil, Alcidodes sp. indet (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was found infest the seeds of Cynometra beddomei, an endemic and endangered legume tree of the Southern Western Ghats. The biology of Alcidodes sp. was studied. The larvae were ‘C’ shaped, measuring 9-10 mm in length, white in colour and found feeding inside the seed for a period of 20-25 days, while the pupal period lasted for 10-15 days. The adults were stout, elongate, oval and black in colour with light brown stripes. The seed infestation estimated to 80% in a fruit year of the tree later severely affected the seed output, germination, seedling emergence followed by the population reduction of species in situ. The incidence of Alcidodes sp. indet on Cynometra beddomei was found to be a new record to the species.

Three new species of Leptophlebiidae viz., Choroterpes (Choroterpes) andamanensis Vasanth, Subramanian & Selvakumar n. sp., Edmundsula meghamalaiensis Vasanth, Subramanian & Selvakumar n. sp. and Megaglena agasthiya Vasanth, Subramanian & Selvakumar n. sp. are described based on our recent exploration of mayflies from the streams of Andaman Island, Tamil Nadu and Kerala part of the southern Western Ghats. The genus Megaglena Peters & Edmunds, 1970 has extended the distribution in southern peninsular India as represented by the occurrence of M. agasthiya n. sp. Larval key is provided to the known and new species of subgenus Choroterpes of India along with the distribution map of new species.

A New Species

Species of Lachesilla Westwood, in which the males have one clunial apophysis are so far known only in the Neotropics. We here describe a species of Lachesilla in the pedicularia species group from the Southern Western Ghats, India. The males present a short, distally obtusely concave apophysis in the clunium, over the area of the epiproct. Lachesilla aethiopica (Enderlein) known in the Neotropics, the USA and Africa, was collected in Tamil Nadu, India, representing a range extension to Asia.

The Nilgiris

Eurema nilgiriensis Yata, 1990, the Nilgiri grass yellow, was described from Nilgiris in southern India. There are not many published records of this species since its original description, and it was presumed to be a high-elevation endemic species restricted to its type locality. Based on the external morphology (wing patterns) as well as the male genitalia, the first confirmed records of the species from Agasthyamalais and Kodagu in the southern Western Ghats, is provided here. This report is a significant range extension for the species outside the Nilgiris, its type locality. Ecological data pertaining to this species as well as the field identification key to all known Eurema of Western Ghats are also presented.
