In het voorjaar van 2014 heb ik mij bezig- gehouden met het op naam brengen van microvlinders in de voormalige collectie van het Zoölogisch Museum van Amster- dam, thans Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Ik stuitte op tal van opmerkelijke vond- sten, onder meer uit de oude collectie van Pier Aukema, uit Zaandam (Noord- Holland). Eén exemplaar uit de collectie bleek te behoren tot de nog niet eerder uit Nederland gemelde Glyphipterix ha- worthana (Stephens) (figuur 1). Het dier werd op 13 mei 1974 verzameld en is waarschijnlijk een zwerver afkomstig uit het Oostzanerveld (J. Stuurman-Huitema persoonlijke mededeling). Grote delen van dit veengebied zijn in de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw ontgonnen. Het genus Glyphipterix is in ons land vertegenwoordigd door vijf soorten, waarvan er slechts twee algemeen zijn: G. simpliciella (Stephens) en G. thrasonella (Scopoli). Alle soorten leven als rups in de bloeiwijzen of vruchten van graminoï- den. Glyphipterix simpliciella is als rups vrij 1. Glyphipterix haworthana, Zaandam, Noord-Holland, 13.v.1974, leg. P.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

For each of the 280 known Azorean endemic species of arthropods, a rarity index was calculated, using distribution and abundance data obtained from the literature. In addition, several scoring indices were used to rank the 16 NFRs. Frequency distributions of the rarity index indicated that there was a tendency for a greater proportion of the commonest species being represented in the NFRs in contrast with a lower representation of the rarest species. About 60% of the endemic arthropod species that were recorded from the NFRs are ‘single NFR endemics’, that is, are known from only one of the 16 NFRs.

Using molecular and crowd-sourcing methods to assess breeding ground diet of a migratory brood parasite of conservation concern. – J. Avian Biol. 2020: e02474 Supplementary material Supplementary materials DNA extraction Ethanol was removed from the samples by freeze-drying to prevent loss of DNA from the vials, and dried samples were stored at -80 °C until DNA extraction. DNA was extracted using a precipitation and re-suspension method adapted from Bramwell et al. (1995), with modifications recommended by Lever et al. (2015). Lysis buffer (30 mM Tris, 30 mM EDTA, pH 8) was added at room temperature and mixed by vortex. Samples were Quickly re-frozen in liQuid nitrogen to lyse cells and then briefly thawed in a 37 °C water bath. A mixture of two different beads (0.2 g ceramic beads 1.4 mm and 0.3 g garnet beads 0.7 mm) was added and samples were shaken at 30 Hz for 3 x 40 s using a TissueLyser II (Qiagen, Hilden Germany). To 19-parts sample solution, 1 part SDS solution (10% w/v) and 0.1 parts proteinase K (20 mg/ml) were added, and samples incubated for 4 h in a shaking incubator at 55 °C to continue lysis and protein digestion. Sample temperature was raised to 65 °C and to each 5 part sample solution, 1 part of 5 M NaCl solution was added and mixed by inversion, then 0.8 parts warm CTAB solution (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, 10% w/v) added and mixed.

  • Lepidoptera of Tundra Habitats of the Northern Kola Peninsula, Northwestern Russia
    © Entomologica Fennica. 13 June 2008 Lepidoptera of tundra habitats of the northern Kola Peninsula, Northwestern Russia Mikhail V. Kozlov & Jaakko Kullberg Kozlov, M. V.& Kullberg, J. 2008: Lepidoptera of tundra habitats of the northern Kola Peninsula, Northwestern Russia. — Entomol. Fennica 19: 114–121. Sampling of 10 sites in 1994–2006 along roads connecting Murmansk with Teriberka and Dalniye Zelentsy yielded 140 species of moths and butterflies. Epinotia immundana and Ortholepis vacciniella are recorded for the first time from the Kola Peninsula, which increased the regional fauna to 690 species. Al- though some arcto-alpine species have been collected (in particular Sparganothis praecana, Catastia kistrandella, Euphydryas iduna, Glacies coracina), the fauna was clearly dominated by species typical for the forested habitats of the central part of the Kola Peninsula. This result suggests that the ‘routine’ sampling in north-eastern tundra between Murmansk and Ponoj might not be as important in terms of biogeography as it has been expected. Instead, new collecting trips should be oriented to areas with special vegetation, primarily limestone or sandy areas which are more likely to support more eastern and/or arctic species. M. V.
