Slovenia Abstract – Coloration intensity of wings from owl-fly (Libelloides macaronius) was checked with absorption of the light; at 425 nm of the yellow parts of the wings and at 650 nm of the black parts The difference between males and females was not statistically significant In black parts of wings the black pigment melanin was identified In both parts (yellow and black) the yellow pigment sepiapterin and one unidentified yellow pigment were present They were extracted with 0.4% sucrose and analysed on paper and thin–layer chromatography on Silica gel KEY WORDS: Neuroptera,

BESEDE: Neuroptera, Ascalaphidae, Libelloides macaronius, krila, obarvanost, pigmenti, sepiapterin, melanin Acta entomologica slovenica, 14 (1), 2006 Introduction Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli) inhabits Central, Eastern and South Europe and Palaearctic part of Asia (Aspöck et al., 2001) In Slovenia the species is widely distributed near the Adriatic coast in the SW, but occurs also in certain warmer places all over the country (Devetak et al., 2002) Its yellow wings with black spots have a warning coloration The differences in colour intensities between males and females are not substantial when we observe them with naked eye A similar coloration with yellow pteridine (sepiapterin) and black melanin was reported in the integument of scorpion fly Panorpa japonica (Nakagoshi et al., 1984) Yellow pigments of insect origin could also be ommochromes and porfirines or from food accepted carotenoides and flavones (Peters, 1999) Our aim was to asses a potential difference in intensity of coloration of the male and female wings, and extraction and identification of the pigments Material and methods Specimens of Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli) were collected in grasslands near the village Nerezine (44o 40’ N, 14o 24’ E) on the island Loøinj in Croatia and stored at –25oC before use Intensity of coloration of the wings was measured with absorption of the light in situ after slightly modified method of Stark (1974) Each right rear wing (from 30 males and 30 females) was cut off, clumped between two plates with a 1.9 mm aperture and this holder was inserted on the front of the sample chamber in spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer, Lamda Bio) Absorption was measured in parts with intensive and homogenous pigmentation (Fig 1) The yellow parts were measured at the wavelength 425 nm (at the absorption maximum of pteridines (Nakagoshi et al., 1984; Stark, 1974)) and black spots at the wavelength 650 nm (recommended for quantification of melanin (Virador et al., 1999)) Student’s “t” test was used to calculate the statistical significance between results for males and females Melanin was identified by soaking the black part of wing in the solution of the methylene blue (7 mg/L) in KCl – buffer (0.2 mol/L) pH (Lilie, 1954) Identification of yellow pigments was performed from rear wings The wings were separated in yellow parts (2.8 mg) and black parts (3.5 mg) into two mortals After grinding with 42 mg of quartz sand for min, the extraction was performed with 300 mL of 0.4% sucrose in a dim light After 10 of centrifugation at 1000 g, the extraction was repeated The absorption spectra of pooled supernatants were scanned at 350 – 700 nm The freeze-dried supernatants were dissolved in 10 mL of deaerated water and applied (3 x µL) on aluminium sheet with Silica gel 60 F254 (7.5 x 20cm; Merck, Germany) for thin-layer chromatography On last starting point Fig 1: Rear wing of Libelloides macaronius Arrows indicate the points where absorption was measured Leon Senœiœ: Intensity of wing pigmentation and identification of pigments in wings of owl-fly Libelloides macaronius the 1mL of solution containing 0.1 mg of pure sepiapterin (Schircks, Switzerland) was applied The solvent was n-propanol – 1% ammonium hydroxyde (2:1, V/V) (Hama et al., 1965) Developing was performed in dark The chromatogram was dried with warm air and checked at day light and under fluorescence at excitation wavelength 365 nm in fluorescence analysis cabinet (Spectroline CM-10, USA) The paper chromatography (with paper MN214, Macherey-Düren, Germany) was performed at the same conditions Results The yellow and black parts of wings absorb light of specific wavelengths quite differently, but differences between males and females at equal parts of wings were not statistically significant (Table 1) Table 1: Absorption of yellow and black parts of the wings of Libelloides macaronius at wavelengths 425 and 650 nm, respectively Values are mean ± S D., N = 30, * = p< 0.05 Absorption of the yellow parts of wings at 425 nm Absorption of the black parts of wings at 650 nm Males 2.860 ± 0.182 1.426 ± 0.176 Females 2.830 ± 0.192 1.450 ± 0.135 The presence of melanin was confirmed with methylene blue at pH as a dark green coloured margins at the dark spots of the cut wings Extraction of the yellow and black parts of wings resulted as yellow extracts with the absorption maximum at 420 – 425 nm, characteristic for the presence of pteridines The first extract from yellow parts had at 425 nm absorption 0.958 and from the black parts 0.426 Absorption of the second extracts were 0.631 and 0.230, respectively The thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of two yellow spots (at least two yellow pigments) in both extracts The first spot with Rf 0.33 was not identified, while the second with Rf 0.56 the length of migration corresponded to the migration of pure sepiapterin (Figure 2) Paper chromatography (Figure 3) confirmed these results The yellow spot with Rf 0.27 was not identified and yellow spot with Rf 0.44 was at the same position as pure sepiapterin Discussion Sexual dimorphism of Libelloides macaronius is not marked, although the wings of females were found to be slightly, but statistically significant larger than in the males (Devetak et al., 2002) After our absorption data the differences in intensity of coloration of wings were not statistically significant Moderate low absorption of the black spots is consequence of distribution of the black pigments only near the veins Acta entomologica slovenica, 14 (1), 2006 Fig 2: Thin-layer chromatography of extracts from wings of Libelloides macaronius Samples: – from yellow parts, – from black parts, – pure sepiapterin Yellow spots, visible at daily light, are indicated with Y in the centre of spot On right side is indicated the colour of fluorescence at 365 nm: B – blue, LB – light blue, V – violet, Y – yellow Fig 3: Paper chromatography of extracts from wings of Libelloides macaronius Samples: – from yellow parts, – from black parts, – pure sepiapterin Yellow spots, visible at daily light, are indicated with Y in the centre of spot On the right side is indicated the colour of fluorescence at 365 nm: LB – light blue, V – violet, Y – yellow and fields between them are yellow in the middle (personal observation) The absorption of the yellow pigments in black spots was lower than in yellow spots (data not shown) An alternative method for determination of the colour intensity of wings with potentially lower scattering interference on structures requires a colour camera, which is connected to personal computer (Windig, 1999) The presence of black pigment melanin in black parts of the wings was identified only with the histochemical method (Lilie, 1954), because the extraction after the Acta entomologica slovenica, 14 (1), 2006 Aphrodes makarovi Zachvatkin, 1948 Material examined: Balıkesir, Kazdaπı National Park, Camp field, 700 m,
