Peran Lutein dan Flavanoid pada Kupu-kupu (Lepidoptera)

Abstract: Lepidoptera aredivided into two large groups, butterflies and moths. Colouration isone of the featuresthat help to separatethe members these groups.The colours of adult butterflies areassociatedwith pterin pigments, interference of light and carotenoids. During the larval stage, carotenoids are more dominant than in the other phasesof the life cycle. Thefunctions of carotenoids in butterflies include antioxidant behaviour, colour formation and production of silk which can be used in industrial world. The purpose of th is paper is to provide information about the role of the carotenoid lutein and the flavanoidsin butterflies.
Rangkuman: Kupu-kupu (Lepidoptera) terbagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kupu-kupu siang dan kupu-kupu malam.Warna merupakan salah satu ciri yang bantu membedakan kupu-kupu dan ngengat. Warna pada kupu-kupu berkaitan dengan pigmen pterin, interferensi cahaya dan karotenoid, walaupun karotenoid lebih dominan terdapat pada faseulat dibanding padafase-faselain dalam siklushidupnya. Fungsikarotenoid pada kupukupu ialah sebagai antioksidan dan penghasil warna sutra yang dapat digunakan dalam dunia industri. Tujuan makalah ini untuk memberikan informasi tentang peran lutein dan flavanoid sebagai karotenoid pada kupu-kupu.

Nicetosoma gen. nov., a new genus for the ”Spilosoma” niceta group of species East of the Weber Line (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini)

Abstract: A new genus name is proposed for the niceta group of nine species which previously was considered to belong to Spilosoma Curtis, 1825. Two new species are described, Nicetosoma meforensis spec. nov. and Nicetosoma sulphurata spec. nov. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Diacrisia niceta intermedia Rothschild, 1910 syn. nov., Diacrisia niceta mysolica Rothschild, 1915 syn. nov. and Diacrisia niceta pallida syn. nov. are synonymized with Diacrisia niceta papuana Rothschild, 1910, which itself will be raised from subspecies level to species level as Nicetosoma papuana (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov. and the same is done with Diacrisia niceta saturata Rothschild, 1910 to Nicetosoma saturata (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov.
Rangkuman: Nama genus yang baru diusul untuk niceta group dengan sembilan spesies, yang sebelumnya dianggap termasuk dalam Spilosoma Curtis, 1825. Dua spesies baru dipertelakan, Nicetosoma meforensis spec. nov. dan Nicetosoma sulphurata spec. nov. Perubahan taksonomis diusulkan sebagai berikut:>Diacrisia niceta intermediata Rothschild, 1910 syn. nov. Diacrisia niceta mysolica Rothschild, 1915 syn. nov. dan Diacrisia niceta pallida Rothschild, 1916 syn. nov. dinyatakan sinonim dengan Diacrisia niceta papuana Rothschild, 1910 yang ditingkatkan dari tingkat subspesies menjadi spesies, yaitu Nicetosoma papuana (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov. dan yang sama dibuat dengan Diacrisia saturata Rothschild, 1910 menjadi Nicetosoma saturata (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov

The Butterflies of the Genus Delias Hübner (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in the PassValley, Papua, Indonesia

Abstract: The records of Delias species encountered by the author and his assistants are presented in this paper, showing quite some differences with the records from the very close Baliem Valley. On the other hand a link is suggested with Abmisibil in the Star Mountains. Additionally, some notes and comments are made on individual species, including a syn. nov.
Rangkuman: Hasil penangkapan Delias oleh pengarang dan pembantu-pembantunya disajikan, menunjukkan adanya perbedaan dengan hasil dari Lembah Baliem yang letaknya sangat dekat. Dari segi lain diduga adanya hubungan dengan daerah Abmisibil di Pegunungan Bintang. Akhirnya diberikan sejumlah catatan dan komentar bertalian dengan beberapa spesies, termasuk satu syn. nov.
Key-words: Diversity, frequency, New Guinea, syn. nov.

Abstract: Records of dragonflies collected at Katan and Senggo (both Kabupaten Mappi) and at Vriendschap River (Kabupaten Asmat) in 2009 are presented. In total 47 species belonging to seven families were collected, the majority of these belong to the Coenagrionidae (14 species) or to Libellulidae (26 species). The collection includes several poorly known species such as Plagulibasis ciliata and Nososticta rangifera. Austrocnemis maccullochi is recorded for Indonesia for the first time. One male of an undescribed Palaiargia is briefly characterized but is not officially described.

On a collection of dragonflies (Odonata) from the Island of Mioswaar (Papua Barat, Indonesia)

Abstract: A total of 28 species of dragonflies we re collected during fieldwork from the 18th to 27th of August 2009. One of these (Argiolestes roon) has since been described as new to science while several others are still undescribed (Argiolestes spec.) or may to be new to science. This small collection shows th at the Island of Mioswaar has a rich and varied dragonfly fauna comparable with that of the mainland. A number of the species have their main range or their nearest relatives on the Bird’s Head Peninsula showing th at the dragonfly fauna of Mioswaar is more related with th at of the Bird’s Head than with that of the vast other part of the mainland of New Guinea.
Rangkuman: Sebanyak 28 spesies capung dikumpul selama kerja lapangan dari 18 sampai dengan 27 Agustus 2009. Sejak itu satu di antaranya (Argiolestes roon) sudah dipertelakan
sebagai spesies baru untuk ilmu, sedangkan sejumlah lain belum dideskripsi (Argiolestes spec.) atau mungkin baru untuk ilmu. Hasil yang terbatas ini menunjukkan bahwa pulau
Mioswaar mempunyai fauna capung yang kaya dan beranekaragam, yang dapat dibandingkan dengan tanah besar. Sejumlah spesies mempunyai daerah distribusinya atau spesies yang paling dekat di semenanjung Kepala Burung. Hal ini memperlihatkan bahwa fauna capung di Mioswaar lebih erat hubungannya dengan Kepala Burung dari pada dengan bagian luas lainnya dari New Guinea.
