The article gives a faunistic review of the Pterophoridae fauna in Myanmar. The type habitats and world distribution (with new data) is indicated. The data of the collected specimens are provided. To the 10 already known species we have added 9 previously unknown for the fauna of Myanmar. The state Myanmar (former Burma) is located in western portion of Indochina peninsula. It is bordered by India, China, Thailand and Bangladesh. The climate of Myanmar is tropical and sub-equatorial. Most of the country is occupied by medium-high mountain plateaus included in the Himalayan system. The mountains are richly wooded, with a large variety of tropical animal and plant species, including endemics. The information on the Pterophoridae of Myanmar is very scarce. According to literary data, 10 Pterophoridae species were known for this territory (Arenberger 1995, 2002, 2010; Gielis, 2003; Li, Hao & Wang 2003; Meyrick, 1905, 1908; Walsingham, 1891). The materials on Pterophoridae collected by our colleagues in Myanmar, served us to write this work, and as a result, we have added 9 species to the fauna of Myanmar. Thus, considering the literary data, currently there are 19 Pterophoridae species known for the fauna of Myanmar. The species indicated for the Myanmar fauna for the first time are marked with an asterisk *. The examined material is deposited in the private collection of the two first authors.

As a result of examining the material on Pterophoridae, 19 species have been found for Myanmar, nine of them are new to the fauna of the country. There is no doubt that further research on plume moths of Myanmar will significantly increase this list. Ecologica Montenegrina,

The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.

P. AMBROSE, S. P. KUMAR, G. R. SUBBU and M. A. CLAVER Entomology Research Unit, St. Xavier's College TiruneIveIi 627 002, Tamil Nadu, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRA CT: Rhynocoris longifrons (Still) is a ferrugineous and griseously sericeous harpactorine, alate and multivolitine assassin bug inhabiting concealed microhabitats such as beneath the boulders and in small crevices. It lays eggs in batches and the eggs hatch in 7.8 ± 1.5 to 8.3 ± 1.0 day. The total nymphal development period ranges from 58.6 ± 2.2 to 72.6:t: 4.7 days. The females lived longer than the males. The sex ratio was female-biased. A brief description of egg, nymphal instar and a redescription of adult male are given. The prey influence on the .incubation, developmental, pre-oviposition periods, sex ratio, adult longevity, fecundity and hatchability was studied on four different prey species such as Corcyra cecphaionica Stainton, Odontotermesobesus Rambur, Clavigralla gibbosa Spinola and Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner). H. armigera fed individuals exhibited shorter preoviposition, incubation and stadial periods and these parameters were extended in C. cephalonica, C. gibbosa and O. obes/ls fed R. longifrons. The nymphal longevity, fecundity and hatchability were greater in H. armigera fed individuals. The nymphal mortality was lower in H. armigera fed individuals. KEY WORDS: Biology, prey influence, RhYllocoris longifrolls INTRODUCTION Nadu, South India. So farno information is available on its biology and ecology.
