Seminal paper on American Snout (Libytheana carinenta)and Lyside Sulphur (Kricogonia lyside) outbreaks in South Texas.

Abstract:
Temporal and spatial patterns of drought and rainfall influence patterns of host leaf production and extent of parasitoid-induced mortality in south Texas Lepidoptera. These factors can in turn interact to induce population outbreak and migratory flight in Libytheana and Kricogonia, two butterflies which depend upon new growth of the shrubs Celtis and Porlieria respectively. Differences between these shrubs in seasonal phenology and resistance to, or response to, defoliation result in asynchronous migratory flights and different degrees of sexual dimorphism for onset of migratory flight by the two insects. Adults of both butteffly species may respond to declining resources by entering reproductive diapause locally, or by initiating migratory flight. However, details of such responses vary with species and time of year and remain a fertile direction for future research.

A New Western Nearctic species of Calameuta Konow (Hymenoptera : Cephidae)
By David R. Smith and Nathan M. Schiff
Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 107: 864-868, 2005
Full Text

In addition to describing a new species (Calameuta middlekauffi), this paper also: indicates how the genera Calameuta and Cephus are distinguished; provides a key for the two nearctic species of Calameuta (clavata and middlekauffi); and has good photographic plates illustrating abdominal and head characters for both species.
