Abstract

Cucullia umbratica Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Agnippe prunifoliella Chambers (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), and Bryotropha plantariella Tengstrom (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), were significant bycatch in pheromone-based trapping systems for red-striped fireworm, Aroga trialbamaculella Chambers (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), in Nova Scotia, Canada. Cucullia umbratica is a European introduced species and a new macrolepidopteran recorded in continental Canada. The only previous record of this moth in North America was from the Magdalen Islands (Québec, Canada). Potential attractants for B. plantariella, A. prunifoliella, and C. umbratica are a result of this bycatch investigation.

Résumé

Cucullia umbratica Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Agnippe prunifoliella Chambers (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) et Bryotropha plantariella Tengstrom (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) forment des captures accessoires significatives dans les réseaux de piégeage à phéromone de la tordeuse du bleuet, Aroga trialbamaculella Chambers (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), en Nouvelle-Écosse, Canada. Cucullia umbratica est une espèce introduite d'Europe et constitue une nouvelle mention de macrolépidoptère sur le continent canadien. Le seul signalement antérieur de ce papillon nocturne en Amérique du Nord provient des Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Québec, Canada). Une découverte d'appâts potentiels pour B. plantariella, A. prunifoliella et C. umbratica résulte de notre étude de ces prises accessoires.
