In recent years, there have been significant outbreaks of the European sunflower moth (ESM) Homoeosoma nebulella in northern China, causing enormous agricultural losses to local farmers. Although some control measures have been investigated, there is limited knowledge about genetic structure among ESM populations which may be related to pest outbreak. In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation and genetic structure of ESM. Our results showed that genetic differentiation was low among populations (2.73%), while it was high within individuals (60.73%), and among individuals within populations (32.59%). Dendograms based on Fst and genetic distance revealed that populations from Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region were first clustered and subsequently grouped with populations from Heilongjiang province. The outbreaks of ESM in Inner Mongolia may be caused by dispersal of ESM from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Sunflowermoth Homoeosoma nebulella is the most common pest of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) in China. A large outbreak involving H. nebulella was discovered in Linhe of the Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2007. Different issues related to pest management were investigated in 2007–2008. Irrigation for overwintering could promote pest outbreak in the following year. It is the safest practice to sow from mid-May to mid-June, i.e. not too early. The quantity of larvae could be reduced by the treatment with Bacillus thuringiensis. The effective pest management should include selecting proper sowing date, non-irrigation and B. thuringiensis treatment. Sex pheromone trapping as a potential control measure requires further studies.

The genus Zubovskya Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1932 is reviewed. This genus consists of six species. Two new species are described from China: Zubovskya xiai sp. n. from Heilongjiang Province and Zubovskya eyouqiensis sp. n. from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Two species are transferred from Zubovskya to the genera Bienkoa Mishchenko, 1950 and Kingdonella Uvarov, 1933. Therefore, two new combinations are proposed: Podisma morii Bey-Bienko, 1931 = Bienkoa morii (Bey-Bienko, 1931), comb. n.; Zubovskya mongolica Storozhenko, 1986 = Kingdonella mongolica (Storozhenko, 1986), comb. n. Key to the species of Zubovskya is given.

The paper analyzes images of dogs in rock art of China. According to the semantics of compositions the following groups can be distinguished: hunting dogs, herding dogs, guard dogs, using of dogs in rituals, mythological and folklore motifs and other images. According to the distribution of different thematic groups of images, two big areas – northern and south-western – can be seen. In northern regions of China (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Gansu Province) the scenes of practical use of dogs (hunting, grazing, guarding herds and dwellings) prevail, which can be explained by the characteristics of the economic structure of the nomadic peoples who inhabited these territories. The images of a horseman followed by a dog and a bird of prey seen in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia can be interpreted as depictions of some motifs of heroic epos of Central Asian nomadic peoples. Other compositions in northern regions have been found to depict not only “realistic”, but “mytho-ritual” interpretations as well. In south-western regions (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province, Sichuan Province) the images of dogs in ritual and/or a mythological context are more common. It is likely connected with the less practical importance of dogs in the agricultural economy and the higher status of this animal in the spiritual culture of the peoples of Southern China. Rock paintings in Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province, is an exception that combines the images belonging to both traditions, namely a picture of a hunting dog and a dog as a sacrificial animal. Some images cannot yet be deciphered unequivocally.
