Insect Systematics

The document describes key concepts related to insect taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny. It explains that taxonomy classifies and organizes biological information, systematics organizes knowledge about organisms and their evolution, and phylogeny studies the evolutionary relationships between groups of species. It also highlights the importance of taxonomic studies to identify unknown pests and insects and obtain information about their biology.

Concepts

• Taxonomy
• Classifies and organizes biological information according to different
methods.
• Describe the organisms
• Importance: taxonomy that organizes entomological diversity.
• Systematic
• Diversity science
• Organize knowledge about organisms
• Its phylogeny, taxonomy, ecology or paleontology.
• It has a theoretical background that surpasses that of taxonomy and a
predictive vocation.
• Phylogeny
• It is the history or evolutionary chronicle of the species.
• Its mission is to know the evolutionary relationships between groups of
species.
Importance of taxonomic studies

• You have information about an unknown insect.


• Systematically identifies a pest or an insect, based on its
scientific name you can search for worldwide information.
• Each order of insects has particular characteristics.
• At the order level, one must know its biology, type of
feeding and other characteristics that may be useful to
make a first appreciation of the insect under study.
• At the family level, one must know its biology, feeding
habits, host, reproduction and whether it is a beneficial,
harmful or unimportant insect.
Scientific nomenclature for the class
insecta
• Rules defined and established in the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature.
• Scientific names are Latinized but can derive from any
language, and are derived from Latin or Greek and generally
refer to some characteristic that the species or group of
species presents.
• The scientific names of species consist of two words.
• The names of the superfamilies, families and subfamilies have
fixed endings and are formed based on the name of the genus.
• Superfamily, oidea ending
• Family, ending of idae
• Subfamily the ending inae

Pyraloidea , Family Pyralidae and Subfamily Pyralidinae
