BY JINSHICHI SHIBU¥A~ The object of this paper is to give a systematic account of the species belonging to the pyraustinae, a subfamily of ryralidae, Lepidoptera, which have hitherto been described from Japan, or recorded as occurring in this country. The preliminary account of the Pyraustinae of Japan was given by C. STOLL in his Papillons Exotiques, vol. iv, 1782, and in this publication he described a new species Phalaena (Pyralis) fascialis STOLL (=l£ymenia recurvalis FABR.). In 1860, MOTSCHULSKY in Etud. Entom. vol. ix, enu­ merated a new genus Nomis (= Udea), two new species Sylepta quadri­ maculalis, Udea albopedalis, the latter is the genotype of Nomis, and an unrecorded species Pyrausta sambucalis SCHIFF. et DEN. In regard to Sylepta quadrimaculalis MOTSCH., this species was originally placed under genus Botyodes, and with its specific name Sylepta quadrimaculalis was already given by KOLLER for a Pyralid-moth in 1844, while G. F. HAMPSON elected a new name Sylepta inferior H~IPSN. for S. quadrimaculalis MOTSCH. In 1863, LEDERER in Wien. Ent. Mon. vii, recorded Margaronia perspectalz's 1 \VLK. from this country as Phace!lura advenalz's LED. In t 866 \ MOTSCHUI.­ SKY added three more unrecorded species to the Pyralid-fauna of Japan, viz., Diasemia litterata Seop. (as Botys literalis SCHIFF. et DEN.), Udea rubriginalis HBN. and Paratalanta ussurialis BREM. In the Cist. Ent. ii, 1877, PRYER recorded Udea minnehaha PRYER as occurring in Japan. BUTLER, in the Ill. Typ. Sp. Het. B. M. vol. ii, 1878, described the following eight new species fro:n this country: I. Dichocrocis chlorophanta fsp. n. 2. Hymenia erebi1ta 51'. n.

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,

    Conogethes punctiferalis Scientific Name Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée, 1854) (Astura) Synonyms: Astura punctiferalis Guenée, 1854 Botys nicippealis Walker, 1859 Deiopeia detracta Walker, 1859 Astura guttatalis Walker, 1866 Taxonomic Note: Conogethes and Dichocrocis have been considered synonyms in the older literature; and punctiferalis is often seen combined with Dichocrocis (Wang, 1980). Conogethes punctiferalis has been a species complex (Solis, 1999) and difficult to identify at the species level. There has been no taxonomic revision of Conogethes to separate species or range within the genus (Robinson et al., 1994). Inoue and Yamanaka (2006) re- described C. punctiferalis and described two new closely allied species that have been confused with C. punctiferalis in the literature. This study illustrates and clearly describes the external morphology and genitalic Figures 1 & 2. Conogethes punctiferalis adult, dorsal and ventral views (Pest and Diseases Image Library, differentiation of C. punctiferalis Bugwood.org). based on studies of the type specimens. They state that the synonyms above should be “critically reconsidered” and do not include them in their synonymy. Species in this complex have very similar morphology, variable color morphs, and overlapping host ranges (Armstrong, 2010). Because the identities of species in the literature is unknown and their biology is indistinguishable, this datasheet has been written using information on all species within the C. punctiferalis species complex, with emphasis placed on the polyphagous

Seasonal distribution of moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, northern Namibia Grzegorz KOPIJ Department of Wildlife Management, University of Namibia, Katima Mulilio Campus, Private Bag 1096, Katima Mulilo, Namibia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the years 2011–2013, moths were collected in Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in the Cuvelai Drainage System, Ovamboland, northern Namibia. In total, 77 species from 13 families have been identified. Their seasonal occurrence in this habitat was also investigated, with most species recorded in wet season between September and April, but with clear peak in February and March. The family Noctuidae was by far the most speciose (38 recorded species), followed by Crambidae (8 spp.), Sphingidae (6 spp.) and Arctiidae (4 spp.). All other families were represented by 1–3 species. For each species listed date of collection is given, and data on its global distribution. Key words: Lepidoptera, check-list, biodiversity, distribution, moths, Ovamboland INTRODUCTION According to recent quite precise estimate, there are 15 5181 species, 16 650 genera and 121 families of Lepidoptera worldwide (Pouge 2009). Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia has recently attracted attention of European entomologists. However, thorough surveys were conducted hitherto in a few areas only, such as Brandberg and Hobatere. The northern regions of the country were especially badly neglected. In southern Africa (south of Zambezi and Kunene Rivers) – 8 511 species, 2 368 genera and 89 families were recently catalogued (Vári et al.
