TL;DR: The taxonomy of five South American species of Dargida Walker currently allocated in Leucania Ochsenheimer and in Lasionycta Aurivillius is revised, and the habitus and male and female genitalia (when available) are given, as well as an updated geographical map.
Abstract: The taxonomy of five South American species of Dargida Walker currently allocated in Leucania Ochsenheimer (four species) and in Lasionycta Aurivillius (one species) is revised. Leucania roseilinea (Kohler, 1947), Leucania phaeoneura Hampson, 1913, Leucania mocoides Dognin, 1897, Leucania alboradiata (Hampson, 1905) and Lasionycta radiata (Kohler, 1966), are here combined with the genus Dargida Walker for the first time (comb. nov.). Two new synonyms are proposed, Leucania roseilineoides Poole, 1989 is an objective junior synonym of Borolia roseilinea Kohler, 1947 (syn. nov.) (ICZN 51.4), and B. lilloana Kohler, 1947 is a subjective junior synonym of Leucania phaeoneura Hampson, 1913 (syn. nov.). Lectotype for Borolia lilloana is designated to ensure nomenclatural stability and recognizability of the taxon. All species are redescribed and discussed, and the habitus and male and female genitalia (when available) are given, as well as an updated geographical map.

TL;DR: Investigations have shown that benzaldehyde is the chief component of the pheromone extracted from the abdominal scent-brushes of Leucania impura,Leucania conigera, and Phlogophora meticulosa.
Abstract: RECENT investigations have shown that benzaldehyde is the chief component of the pheromone extracted from the abdominal scent-brushes of Leucania impura (Huebner), Leucania conigera (Schiffermueller) and Phlogophora meticulosa (Linnaeus).

TL;DR: The author presents a partial revision of Eucelatoria, including some species known to be parasites of Heliothis, as well as other important noctuid genera such as Spodoptera, Mythimna (Leucania) (and including Pseudaletia), Mocis and Trichoplusia.
Abstract: The New World tachinid genus Eucelatoria sens. strict. contains species that commonly parasitise species of the noctuid genus Heliothis as well as other important noctuid genera such as Spodoptera, Mythimna (Leucania) (and including Pseudaletia), Mocis and Trichoplusia. The author presents a partial revision of Eucelatoria, including some species known to be parasites of Heliothis. The species are divided into the group of E. armigera (Coq.) and that of E. rubentis (Coq.). Nine of the 12 already named species belong to the former but only E. armigera, a widely misused name, is treated in detail to clarify its identity. A key is given to 8 species of the E. rubentis group, including E. rubentis, E. bigeminata (Curr.) and 6 described as new: E. bryani sp.n. (which occurs from Kansas and Iowa to Texas and Arizona and south to Nicaragua); E. digitata sp.n. (Peru); E. dominica sp.n. (Dominica); E. guimaraesi sp.n. (Brazil); E. heliothis sp.n. (Venezuela, Colombia and Honduras) and E. teutonia sp.n. (Brazil and Argentina). A key to blondeliine genera with females having an abdominal keel and piercer distinguishes Eucelatoria sens. strict. from genera with similar structure and habitus. Hosts of Eucelatoria, corrections to published records, and variation in taxonomic characters are briefly discussed
