摘要： To escape or alleviate low temperatures in winter, insects have evolved many behavioral and physiological strategies. The purple stem borer,Sesamia inferens(Walker) is currently reported to be expanding their northern distributions and causing damage to summer maize in Xinxiang, China. However, their method of coping with the lower temperature in the new northern breeding area in winter is largely unknown. This paper investigates the overwinter site ofS.inferens, and identifies the cold hardiness of larvae collected from a new breeding area in winter and explores a potential distribution based on low temperature threshold and on species distribution model MaxEnt. The results show that the overwintering location of theS.inferenspopulation is more likely to be underground with increasing latitude and the population gradually moved down the corn stalk and drilled completely underground in later winter (February) in the north. The cold hardiness test shows the species is a moderate freeze-tolerant one, and Supercooling Points (SCP), Freezing Points (FP) and the incidence of mortality during the middle of winter (January, SCP: -7.653, FP: -6.596) were significantly lower than early winter (October) or late winter (March). Distribution in the new expansion area was predicted and the survival probability area was below N 35 degrees for the Air Lower Lethal Temperature (ALLT(50)) and below N 40 degrees for the Underground Lower Lethal Temperature (ULLT50)(.)The suitable habitat areas forS.inferenswith MaxEnt were also below N 40 degrees. This study suggests the overwinter strategies ofS.inferenshave led to the colonization of up to a five degree more northerly overwintering latitude.
