A Review of the Little Known Genus Wockia (Lepidoptera: Urodidae) in Russia Обзор Малоизвестного Рода Wockia (Lepidoptera: Urodidae) В Фауне России ZOOSYSTEMATICA ROSSICA, 25(1): 173–179 25 JUNE 2016 A review of the little known genus Wockia (Lepidoptera: Urodidae) in Russia Обзор малоизвестного рода Wockia (Lepidoptera: Urodidae) в фауне России S.YU. SINEV С.Ю. СИНEВ S.Yu. Sinev, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 1 Universitetskaya Emb., St Petersburg 199034, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Three species of the genus Wockia Heinemann, 1870, which are so far known in Russia are re- viewed; their male and female genitalia are illustrated, and a key for identification is provided. Two species, W. koreana Sohn, 2008, and W. magna Sohn, 2014, which were recently described from East Asia, are for the first time reported from Russia. The investigation of the holotype of W. funebrella Heinemann, 1870, discovered in the collection of the Zoological Institute RAS (St Petersburg), confirmed that this species is a junior subjective synonym of W. asperipunc- tella (Bruand, 1851). The distribution of Palaearctic species of the genus is discussed shortly. Проведена ревизия материала по представителям малоизвестного рода Wockia Heine- mann, 1870, фауны России с использованием признаков строения копулятивного аппара- та и дан ключ для определения видов. Впервые для России отмечены недавно описанные восточноазиатские виды W. koreana Sohn, 2008 и W. magna Sohn, 2014. Переисследован голотип вида W. funebrella Heinemann, 1870, обнаруженный в коллекции Зоологического института РАН (Санкт-Петербург), и подтверждена его синонимия с W. asperipunctella (Bruand, 1851).

  • BARAN T. on the New and Rare Microlepidoptera (Lepidoptera)
    POLISH JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY POLSKIE P I S M O ENTOMOLOGICZNE VOL. 77 : 133-143 Bydgoszcz 30 June 2008 On the new and rare Microlepidoptera (Lepidoptera) in Polish fauna TOMASZ BARAN Department of Invertebrate Zoology, University of Rzeszów, Cegielniana 12, 35-959 Rzeszów, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. For eighteen micro-moth species new distributional records are given. Dichomeris rasilella (HERRICH -SCHÄFFER , 1854) is for the first time reported from Poland. For Coleophora pulmonariella RAGONOT , 1874 the first reliable record is given. In addition, some diagnostic fea- tures of Dichomeris rasilella and Coleophora pulmonariella are also mentioned. In the paper, adult specimens of Argyresthia pulchella LIENIG & ZELLER , 1846, Chrysoclista splendida KARSHOLT , 1997, Coleophora pulmonariella , Coleophora onopordiella ZELLER , 1849, Dichomeris rasilella and Wockia asperipunctella (BRUAND , 1851), larval mines of Argyresthia thuiella (PACKARD , 1871) and Monochroa sepicolella (HERRICH -SCHÄFFER , 1854), as well as female genitalia, aedeagus and larval case of Coleophora pulmonariella are figured. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Microlepidoptera, faunistics, new records, Poland. INTRODUCTION The latest comprehensive checklist of Polish Lepidoptera (BUSZKO & NOWACKI 2000) revealed among others that many regions of the country had not been sufficiently investi- gated in the past, as well as that many species, especially those of micro-moths had not been found again for even tens of years. Therefore, for a few years the author has been trying to fill this gap. In result of a recent field research, carried out predominantly in south eastern Poland in 2007, eighteen interesting records of Microlepidoptera have been found. In the article these faunistic data are presented. The seldom-collected moths treated here belong to the following families: Adelidae, Tineidae, Gracillariidae, Yponomeutidae, Elachistidae, Agonoxenidae, Scythrididae, Coleophoridae, Gelechiidae, Choreutidae, and Pterophoridae.

Canadian Field-Naturalist 118(4): 530-549. Lepidoptera were collected, primarily via UV light trap, for three seasons in the boreal mixedwood forest near Lac La Biche, Alberta. A total of 11 111 specimens were collected, representing 41 families and 438 species. A species list with flight times is presented. The total Lepidoptera community was estimated to be 546 ±23.34 species. Abundance and species richness peaked in late July. Thirty-five species constitute new records for Alberta, while one species, Acanthopteroctetes bimaculata, is a new record for Canada, and the first record of the family Acanthopteroctetidae in Canada. Key Words: Moths, butterflies, Lepidoptera, Lac La Biche, Alberta, flight times, Acanthopteroctetes bimaculata, new to Canada. Alberta is blessed with an abundance and variety terflies and moths were also sampled. This represents of forested lands.

  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.

(*) Jorma Kyrki f Zoological Museum, University of Oulu, SF-90570 Oulu, Finland. Summary The adult, larva and pupa of Wockia asperipunctella (Bruand, [1851]), the type- species of Wockia Heinemann, 1870, are redescribed. A new family, the Urodidae, is erected for Wockia and the related genera, Urodus Herrich- Schäffer, [1854] and Spiladarcha Meyrick, 1913. The family is diagnosed, its monophyly demons- trated and its systematic position discussed. The nominal genera and species included are listed. Pygmocrates Meyrick, 1932, is a new junior synonym of Urodus Herrich- Schäffer, [1854]. Zusammenfassung Die Imago, Larva und Pupa von Wockia asperipunctella (Bruand, [1851]), der Typus von Wockia Heinemann, 1870, sind neu beschrieben. Eine neue Familie, die Urodidae, ist für Wockia und die verwandten Gattungen Urodus Herrich- Schäf- fer, [1854] und Spiladarcha Meyrick, 1913 errichtet. Die Familie ist beschrieben, ihre Monophylie demonstriert und ihre systematische Stelle diskutiert. Die nominal Gattungen und Arten der neuen Familie sind aufgelistet. Pygmocrates Meyrick, 1932, ist ein neues jüngeres Synonym von Urodus Herrich- Schäffer, [1854]. Introduction In studying the phylogeny of the superfamily Yponomeutoidea I have found that the genus Wockia Heinemann, 1870, and its closest relatives, Urodus Herrich- Schäffer, [1854], and Spiladarcha Meyrick, 1913, which are usually placed in the family Yponomeutidae, are not true yponomeutoids. The genera were excluded from the Yponomeutoidea as an informal genus group, the Urodus group, but they were not placed in any named family or superfamily, pending further information on the group (Kyrki 1984).

ZooKeys 819: 463–505. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.819.27259 Abstract The known Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) of the provinces and territories of Canada are summarised, and current knowledge is compared to the state of knowledge in 1979. A total of 5405 species are known to occur in Canada in 81 families, and a further 50 species have been reported but are unconfirmed. This represents an increase of 1348 species since 1979. The DNA barcodes available for Canadian Lepidoptera are also tabulated, based on a dataset of 148,314 specimens corresponding to 5842 distinct clusters.
