Primary infected larvae usually die before exhibiting any typical symptoms. It is resulted following infection of haemolymph by bacteria. These are Attacus receni, B, the Eri silkworm moth and Antherea paphia, B, the tassar silkworm moth. Since the natural food of this worm is mulberry leaves, it is called mulberry silk worm. Litter from the infected bed should be removed immediately after detection of infection and be dumped in deep pits and burnt. In sericulture, the silkworm rearing process begins with the laying of eggs by the female silk moth. The most virulent protozoan disease of silkworm is Pebrine, so named as the infected worms show some pepper-like black spots. Jharkhand, India. Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. 3.8). Short notes on mulberry and non mulberry silk varieties. Tussar Silk , also often referred to as ‘Wild Silk, Tassar Silk, or Tusar Silk is an exquisite thread obtained from a wide winged moth that is yellowish-brown in colour. White muscardine is caused by Beauveria bas- siana where the conidia are spherical/oval and spores are like white powdery specks. The entered bacteria attack and grow in their alimentary canal. There are 44 eco-races of A. mylitta distributed in various regions of India. Disclaimer Copyright, Zoology Notes | Exclusive Notes on Zoology for Students, Diseases of Aquarium Fishes (With Treatment). The weight of first to fifth instar is directly proportional to the feeding and increases from 8 mg to 25 mg. The neutral lipid of desilked eri silkworm pupae (Samia cynthia ricini) grown on two different host plants, castor (Ricinus communis Linn.) Thanks are also due to Dr. M. P. Singh, former Vice Chancellor of Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag, for support and encouragements. A lot more textured than mulberry silk, Tussar silk is used in creation of Tussar silk sarees and silk suits. (v) Rearing of disease resistant races of Bombyx, e.g., Nistari can be considered as an important preventive measure against pebrine. Tasar . Tasar Silk worm : Antheraea paphia This caterpillar feeds on ber, oak, sal and fig plants. In sericulture, silkworm can be attacked by various bacteria resulting in different diseases. This is a preview of subscription content. Before publishing your Notes on this site, please read the following pages: 1. Antheraea mylitta is wild and polyphagous. silkworms in India, accordingly sericulture is classified into Mulberry Culture, Tasar Culture, Muga Culture and Eri Culture, and each one is described separately in the following text. In: Suryanarayana N et al. and tapioca (Manihot utilizsima Phol.) Free aeration by keeping windows and doors open or by using fan for continuous flow of air should be maintained. Sericulture 1. BOMBYX MORI (SILKMOTH) The external features of mulberry silkworm is given below: (i) Body colour is creamy white and measures approximately 25 mm in length (Fig. Eco- friendly Activity Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. Burning of 20-30 gm of sulphur/m3 area of rearing space is very effective to prevent growth of muscardine fungi. Viral Diseases 4. (iv) Regular disinfection of rearing room and appliances should be done with 2% formalin. The disease is transmitted to silkworm in three different ways: Spores liberated through the faeces of infected worms or through dead larvae, contaminate the mulberry leaves given in rearing bed. Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury, is a non- mulberry silkworm used for commercial silk production in India. The production of silk generally involves two processes: The silkworm caterpillar builds its cocoon by producing and surrounding itself with a long, This is a question and answer forum for students, teachers and general visitors for exchanging articles, answers and notes. The complex of diseases caused by viruses showing jaundice-like symptoms are collectively referred to as grasserie or polyhedrosis. Waste from silkworm rearing can be recycled as inputs to garden. In sericulture, the silkworm rearing process begins with the laying of eggs by the female silk moth. Barsagade DD, Tembhare DB (2000) Development, structure and secretory activity of silk gland complex in the tropical tasar silkworm, Barsagade DD, Kadwey MN (2010) Ultrastructural Changes in Midgut of CPV Infected Tropical Tasar Silkworm, Barsagade DD, Gathalkar GB (2016). The mulberry silkworm is divided into three groups; univoltine (mainly found in greater Europe) and bivoltine (found in China, Korea, and Japan). Tasar Silk worm : Antheraea paphia This caterpillar feeds on ber, oak, sal and fig plants. Tasar culture is a traditional practice of local tribes in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha since time immemorial. The head bears a pair of compound eyes, a pair of branched or feathery antennae and the mouth parts. Rearing room and bed should be free from humidity and darkness as these can stimulate the growth of fungi. A type species, NIK-1s_mys was used as control for comparison. ADVERTISEMENTS: Causative organisms: Pebrine is caused by the […] Shivakumar G, Shamitha G (2013) Studies on larval mortality: diseases, pest and predator menace in outdoor and indoor reared tasar silkworm, Singh KC (1991) Controlling the insect enemies of oak tasar silkworms. Morphology and histology of Lyonet’s gland of the tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta. Protozoan Diseases 2. and is found in abundance in the sub-Himalayan belt. Due to bacterial growth and consequent accumulation of lactate, acetate, etc. Protozoan Diseases: Pebrine: The most virulent protozoan disease of silkworm is Pebrine, so named as the infected worms show some pepper-like black spots. This problem ranked second. 3.39). THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM OF SERICULTURE AND NON-FARMING ACTIVITIES Presented by- Namita Shukla L-2014-HSc-125-D 2. The univoltine type generates silk only once a year while the bivoltine type generates twice a year. Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury, is a non- mulberry silkworm used for commercial silk production in India. Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori): It belongs to the family Bombycidae. Mulberry silk: ADVERTISEMENTS: This is produced by the worm Bombyx mori belonging to the family Bombicidiae. The Silkworm, Bombyx mori produces the silk of commercial importance. For midgut viral infection, the worms show initially no symptoms. During moulting, new bed should be kept thin and old newspaper can be kept below the bed to prevent muscardine infection during wet season. Indian attire inspired from traditions and values easily take shape in Tussah silk. Different fungi cause this disease but the name varies according to the colour of conidiospores, produced by them on the body of worms. may induce the disease. Since the natural food of this worm is mulberry leaf it is called as mulberry silkworm. Thakre MP (2015) Studies on the metamorphic changes and egg maturation in tropical tasar silkworm. Eri Silk – It is spun from cocoons of silkworms belonging to The rearings are conducted on the trees in the open. & Gangwar S. K. (2007). The tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, is a semi-domesticated vanya silk-producing insect of high economic importance. Tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (Fig.1.4) mainly thrives on the food plants Asan and Arjun. In this article we will discuss about the Diseases of Silkworm:- 1. The fungus Poecilomyces farinosus causes yellow muscardine, where oval to spherical spores collectively look yellow in colour. These moths feed on leaves of oak, are found in abundance in sub-Himalayan belt. University Department of Zoology, Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag- 825301. Not affiliated or topical application of imanine can control NPV to some extent. Temperature and humidity if not maintained properly in the rearing room, may enhance the growth and spreading of flacherie bacteria. Typically, 300 … These should also be kept dry during the period between rearing. Silkworm Rearing. Mulberry silkworm - Bombyx mori : This is a completely domesticated insect. Terminalia tomentosa, T. arjuna and Shorea robusta and dozens of secondary food plants. The fungi then take saprophytic nutrition from the dead larvae tissue and grow mycelia as white flakes over the dead tissue. leaves, was extracted with hexane. Contaminated leaves with formalin, exposure to camphor during rearing and blocking of spiracles by dust, Uzi fly, etc. This bacterial disease is also known as Rangi in India because of the colours shown by dead larvae. Barsagade, DD (1998) Studies on the silk gland development and silk protein synthesis in the tasar silkworm.

TRAINING MODULE FOR TASAR COMMERCIAL REARERS 4 Time Module 12:00 - 12:15 PM Tea Break 12:15 - 2:00 PM Tasar Host Tree Management * How are you maintaining your host plant now a day? Originally the Tasar silk worm was not cultivated. All rearing appliances along with leaf-food should be kept free from extra moisture. The moth is quite robust and creamy-white in colour. Research Digest Lab notes: Tasar silk may be better than mulberry silk for medical applications Tasar silk is stronger, tougher and coarser and unlikely to get damaged at high temperatures. Tasar culture is the mainstay for many a tribal community in India. Black muscardine is spread by Metarrhizium arisopliae. 3.38). c. Eri or Arundi silkworm (Attacus ricini) - feeds on castor - Eri silk d Munga silkworm (Antherea assama) feeds on oak and other forest trees - Munga silk Thiopalia religiosa feeds on machilus & fucus species - Devmuga silk. Scales fall off easily from the body of pebrine infected moths. Sudip Patra. The life cycle of A. mylitta passes through four stages – egg, larva, pupa and adult. (i) Shrinkage of body with transparent appearance. Live infected pupa if present inside the cocoon, may show black, swollen body with black spots on sides of abdomen. Fungal Diseases. Typically, 300-500 eggs are obtained from one female silk moth. Following secondary infections by bacteria the larvae show: (ii) vomiting of an alkaline, clear fluid, and. It is the caterpillar of a moth whose cocoon is used to make silk. In case of white, green and black muscardines, the pathogenic fungi reach the haemocoel where they spread their hyphae. (iv) Loss of clasping power of prolegs and. The tasar silkworms is a wild species and hence cocoons are also collected by the tribal people from forests and silk is obtained. This disease is caused by the toxins released by some bioinsecticidal bacteria. No notes for slide. Traditionally, they used to collect tasar cocoons from forest, keep them for moth emergence, mating and subsequently reared silkworm on forest based Asan or Arjun trees. may induce the spreading of this disease by transforming latent stage to virulent stage of the pathogen. Indian tasar silkmoth, Antheraea mylitta is an economically important wild silkmoth species distributed across India. Welcome to NotesOnZoology.com! Skin wound may get infection from contaminated rearing bed. Introduction The rearing of silkworms for the production of silk is called sericulture. pp 291-319 | Such leaves when taken by other larvae, they get infected. The thorax bears three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings. environmental conditions for silkworm rearing, leaf harvest, transportation and preservation, leaf quality and quantity, late age rearing, mechanization in silkworm rearing Unit IV: Non- mulberry silkworm rearing (10) Tasar Silkworm Rearing, Oak Tasar Silkworm Rearing, Eri Silkworm Rearing, Muga Silkworm Rearing Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Ambica publisher, Bombay, p 252, Jolly MS, Sen SK, Sonwalkar TN, Prasad GK (1979) Non mulberry silk. The races are univoltine, bivoltine and trivoltine in nature and complete one, two and three life cycles in a year, respectively. 2. Tasar silk is mainly produced in Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal & Andhra Pradesh. The cocoon of A. mylitta is tough, made up from single silk thread measuring about 1000 m. The cocoon has a large peduncle, which terminates in a ring which fits into the branch of host plant. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. Hatching percentage was 67.44 ± 5.97%. This process is achieved by a dense fluid secreted from its gland structural glands, resulting in the fiber of the cocoon. NIK-3h and NIK-4m in India. Any kind of dampness in and around rearing place is to be avoided. Tasar food plants and their morphoanatomical features.

Thus, they serve as source of tertiary infection to other 5th instar larvae which may spin and may even live up to the adult stage. Tasar Silk – It is silk reeled from cocoons of silkworms belonging to saturniidae family, which are fed on leaves of Oak, Asan and Arjuna trees. Again, by advanced immune enzymatic methods, presence of pebrine spores can be detected quickly. Besides bacteria, Infectious Flacherie Virus (IFV), an RNA virus can also cause flacherie in the host silkworm where it forms irregular inclusions mostly in the midgut goblet cells. Infestation of pest and predator increase larval mortality resulting in loss of tasar silk production in India. Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. Privacy Policy3. Introduction Types 1) Mulberry Silk Worm 2) Tasar Silk Worm 3) Eri Silk Worm 4) Muga Silk Worm Diseases and pests of Silkworm Importance of sericulture References contents 3. Midgut polyhedrosis, on the other hand, can be transmitted through oral route or by induction due to bad environment. Rearing temperature has an important influence on the efficiency of food utilization by larvae of the silkworm Bombyx mori L. To assess food intake and utilization efficiency in B. mori reared at different temperature combinations, larvae of Pure Mysore race were fed ad libitum on M5 mulberry leaves and reared at four different constant temperatures, viz. In type II response, other lepidopteran larvae only show rapid inhibition of feeding. The ratio of diluted formalin and burnt husk is usually kept 1:10 (v/v). Chapman and Hall, New York/London, Sen SK, Jolly MS, Jammy TR (1969) Diseases of tasar silkworm. Larvae when take contaminated leaves can get infection directly. Abstract. Reproductive conidiophores with characteristic colour then grow from the mycelia. Central Tasar Research Station, (Central Silk Board, Bombay), pp 32, Jolly MS, Chaturvedi SM, Prasad SA (1968) Survey of tasar crops in India. 1. In general, the pathogenic bacteria may attack their alimentary canal and haemolymph. This DNA virus multiplies only in the nucleus of the host cells, where it forms hexagonal polyhedra which remain embedded in a proteinaceous matrix, called Polyhedral Inclusion Bodies (PIB). (ii) Sterilisation of rearing room with steam or 2% formalin or bleaching powder or Resham Keed Ouzhad (RKO) or Labex, (iii) Removal of dead or infected worms from rearing tray, (iv) Feeding the larvae with healthy leaves, and. Besides, histopathological studies can reveal affected cylindrical cells in gut wall in case of streptococcus infection and affected goblet cell in case of Diplococcus infection. It indicates that these carbohydrates may be coming by biotransformation from leaf to larvae or and larvae Breeding of tasar silk worms is a very difficult process as the moths do not breed in captivity. The silk cocoon serves as protection for the pupa.

These eggs are pale yellow in colour and may fail to hatch. What is silk: The silk clothes that we use are made of fibers or silk threadsproduced from the secretion of saUvary glands of silk moth. The tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, is a semi-domesticated vanya silk-producing insect of high economic importance. 2. (iv) Restless larvae usually try to leave the rearing tray and die due to exuding body fluid. The newly hatched larvae who take part of chorion of such contaminated eggs may get infection. Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. (vi) Body colour turns to yellow and faeces are white in colour because of accumulated polyhedra, so the name ‘jaundice’ is given to the disease. These larvae act as the source of secondary infection for other larvae through their faeces or dead tissues. Primary agent is some virus while Streptococcus bombycis acts as the secondary invader. (i) Good sanitation, specially cleaning the room with hot water to inactivate the toxin. Sources of Inspiration. (i) Rearing of larvae in hygienic conditions, and. Sudip Patra, Ravindra Nath Singh. It is called the mulberry silk. However, these infected eggs hatch in very low percentage and the hatched out larvae usually die before reaching 3rd instar. Females usually lay eggs in irregular, loose heaps. Biology, Diseases, Diseases of Silkworm, Sericulture, Silkworm, Zoology. Feeding is an important task that requires more attention to be taken while rearing silkworms for the silk production. First predation record of. Antheraea mylitta is a species of moth in the family Saturniidae known commonly as the tasar silkworm and vanya silkworm. This insect is also called the silkworm-moth and the mulberry silkworm (fig. It is less lustrous than mulberry silk, but has its own feel and appeal. Cultivation of Food-plants: Aspergillus flavus and A. oryzel cause brown muscardine with producing spores dirty brown in colour. To date, no molecular marker associated with cocoon and shell weights has been identified in this species. This mixture taken in muslin cloth can be spread directly on silkworm in each instar at a recommended dosage of 4 gm/ 0.1 nr of rearing tray. The tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, polyphagous sericigenous insect mostly found in the tropical areas of India.It is found in these regions as ecotypes or ecoraces. Tasar silk is generated by the silkworm, AntheraeamylittaD which mainly thrive on the food plants of Asan and Arjun. These larvae, if spin, form weak cocoons and exhibit pebrine symptoms and may die during or after spinning. (vii) The larvae show signs of pain, convulsions and die. (ii) Healthy and quality leaves should be supplied to rearing larvae, (iii) Unhealthy larvae should be discarded from rearing trays, and. The larvae are voracious feeders while, adult are non-feeders. (vii) Dead larvae may be covered with coloured spores of causative fungi or may be mummified into chalky white structure (Fig. According to historians, silk production originated in China during the Neolithic period of the Stone Age. Next in order was that 56.6% farmers HIND ARTS ACADEMY Soni, Shailesh (2010). Pebrine is caused by the protozoan Nosema bombycis that has several strains of which most virulents are NIK-2r. PubMed. Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. (v) Loss of clasping power of prolegs, and. Content Guidelines 2. the permeability of gut is lowered due to lowering of pH. Associate Publishing Company, New Delhi, Suryanarayana, N., Shova Beck. 8.12). (ii) Disinfection of rearing place and appliances between each stage of whole rearing process. 2. It feeds on primary food plants, viz. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. TOS4. Then the bacteria become able to invade the haemocoel and spread the infection in whole body of larvae. Other Silkworm Moths: There are two other silkworm moths which also yield silk. This moth is belived to belong to China originally. Sericulture 1. It is interesting to note that 1 kilogram of mulberry leaves can feed approximately 50 silkworms (from the egg stage to the cocoon stage). 1.2 Project Outline In the seven districts of Bilaspur, Janjgir, Korba, Raigarh, Jashpur, Surguja and Korea of the State of Chhattisgarh9, this project aims to expand the production of tasar silk through the In India, tasar silk is mainly produced in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa, besides Maharashtra, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. The life-cycle of these four types of silk moths are much in common, as they lay eggs, from which caterpillars hatches. Since the natural food of this worm is mulberry leaves, it is called mulberry silk worm. Oak Tasar silk moth: A finer variety of tasar silk is generated by the silkworm Antheraea proyeli and A. pernyi. GENERAL NOTE Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 49(2), 1995, 179-181 OCCURRENCE OF A NEMATODE IN THE TROPICAL TASAR SILKWORM, ANTHERAEA MYLITTA (SATURNIIDAE) Additional key words: silk production, parasitization, India, The infestation of insects by nematode parasitoids is well documented in the literature (Lieutier & Vallet 1982, McCoy & Kaplan 1983, Simmons & Rogers 1990, … Success has been achieved in this regard to some extent. Above mentioned symptoms help to detect about flacherie – infected larvae. Since the filament of the cocoons spun by these worms is neither continuous nor uniform in thickness, the cocoons cannot be reeled and, therefore, the moths are allowed to emerge and the pierced cocoons are used for spinning to produce … (ii) Oral route or intake of contaminated food can also transmit the infection. Out of the four different silk types the two i.e., mulberry and Eri are manufactured from domesticated silkworms, whereas Tasar and Munga silkworms are wild in nature, although attempts are in progress to domesticate them too. zoology course. Infected eggs do not show firm attachment with the egg card due to improper deposition of glue. Fungal diseases of silkworm are called muscardine where the body of larvae gets mummified due to deposition of calcium oxalate and hence the disease is also called ‘calcino’. The protozoa passes its life cycle through 2 stages. Alam MO, Pandey RK, Yadav GS, Sinha BRBP, Sinha SS (2000) Studies on rearing performance of wild eco-race model of tasar silkworm. is common and there is a breed specific response regarding tolerance. Bacterial flacherie is caused by Bacillus bombycis, B. sotto, Streptococcus bombycis, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, etc. In this disease, both larvae and pupae get infected by the bacteria Serratia marcescans and also by S. piscavotar following the primary infection with Streptococcus faecalis. The diseased silkworms show following general symptoms: (v) Shrinkage of body after moulting and these larvae usually refuse to take any food. (ii) Infected larvae should be removed/discarded. (iii) Ruptured skin exuding milky-white or yellowish fluid containing polyhedra (Fig. Bacterial Diseases 3. Red muscardine may be caused bv Sorosporella uvella and Spicaria fumosorosea with their red spores. Besides, microscopic observation of homogenate / fluid from dead tissues, faecal pellets can indicate the presence of infective spores of Nosema. It is interesting to note that 1 kilogram of mulberry leaves can feed approximately 50 silkworms (from the egg stage to the cocoon stage). (ii) *Heavy and stout body is divisible into head, thorax and abdomen. The Indian tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta is a natural fauna of tropical India, distributed in different geographical locations and habitats in this country. Eco- friendly Activity . Infected larvae if detected should be removed immediately from rearing tray before the formation of conidiospores on them. It is called the mulberry silk. Due to continuous growth of fungi-colony, and their release of calcium oxalate as metabolite, the dead tissue of host larvae becomes hard and mummified. Yellow muscardine fungi affect the gut of larvae, while red muscardine fungi attack the body wall. Here you can find Notes and text books for B.Sc. A technique of “controlled rearing” has been evolved by the Central Tasar Research Station, Ranchi. Eco- friendly Activity . Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. Barsagade DD, Chamat MV, Husain IR, Meshram HM, Thakre RP (2015) Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) studies on the eggshell of silkworm, Dasgupta KP (1962) Observation on the behaviour of uzifly maggots. Mulberry silkworm rearing, being completely domesticated, demands specified environmental conditions like optimum temperature (24-28oC) and relative humidity (70-85%). Note: It is a common fresh water arthropod found in rivers, ponds, lakes, streams, etc. According to the kind of causative viruses, location of the latter in host’s tissue and cell, polyhedrosis again are of 2 types: (1) Nuclear polyhedrosis which according to recent concept is considered as grasserie and. This toxin, if taken by the larvae orally causes two types of responses: In type I response, the larvae of B. mori stop feeding, haemolymph becomes alkaline and paralysis occurs within 60-80 minutes of intake. Again, symptoms of flacherie may not be same in all types of flacherie. Insects principally belong to two families, viz., Saturnidae and Bombycidae, which spins silk fibre. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. No notes for slide. From around 300 AD, the cultivation of silk reached … Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. The causative virus enter the host midgut through oral route via ingested contaminated leaves. Note: The equipment requirement may vary according to the scale of rearing. Sericulture Dr. Dinesh C. Sharma 2. The symptoms appear only in late stage and include: (ii) Translucent cephalothorax and shrinkage of body. Infected larvae may be kept in 2% formalin to kill the spores or buried in deep pits. production of raw silk from tasar silkworms was 43 tons in FY1994, the second largest in India8. It is interesting to note that tasar silkworm cocoons have the utmost capacity of silk production being the largest among all the other known non-mulberry silk producing insects (Akai, 2000). Short notes on mulberry and non mulberry silk varieties. tasar silkworm. showed that silkworm and Tasar cocoons contain carbohydrates. (ii) Isolation and killing of diseased larvae and pupae and. (iii) Following death, the body colour of larvae changes to crimson red. This service is more advanced with JavaScript available, Industrial Entomology Indian Silk:19–23, Singh RN, Thangavelu K (1991) Parasites and predators of tasar silkworm –. Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. Labex, a mixture of lime and bleaching powder has anti-muscardine and grasserie effects and can improve larval growth and commercial characters as well. Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. The silk worm is included in the phylum-Arthropoda, class-Insecta and order-Lepidortera. If infection occurs in 5th instar stage, the adult moth normally emerges through pupal stage. Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips. Larvae may get infection through their skin from the rearing bed contaminated with Nosema spore containing faecal matter or dead tissues. The diseases having symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting are collectively called Flacherie. Possibly, because of the distinct ecological conditions prevailing in these different localities, several morphological variants, traditionally called ecoraces, have been identified in A. mylitta 5 .
