Abstract Two new species of the genus Eugoa Walker, 1858, Eugoa dubatolovi Volynkin, Bucsek & Černý, sp. nov. (South Laos and South Vietnam) and Eugoa sinxayi Volynkin, Bucsek & Černý, sp. nov. (Central Laos) are described. Both new species are related to Eugoa zolotuhini Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2016 and Eugoa hainanensis Fang, 2000. Adults and male genitalia of the new and related species are illustrated. Key words: Lithosiini, Asia, Laos, Vietnam, new species. Introduction The genus Eugoa Walker, 1858 belongs to the Eugoa group of genera including also the genera Notata Hampson, 1891, Holocraspedon Hampson, 1893, Meteugoa Hampson, 1900, Malesia van Eecke, 1920, Planovalvata Dubatolov & Kishida, 2012, Neoeugoa Singh & Kirti, 2016, Philenora Rosenstock, 1885, Katmeteugoa van Eecke, 1920, Cyclosiella Hampson, 1900, and Trischalis Hampson, 1894 (Holloway, 2001; Kirti & Singh, 2016). Eugoa is one of the largest genera of Lithosiini and includes about 120 species. The check list of the genus was recently published by Bucsek (2016a). Many species of Eugoa were described during last two decades (Fang, 2000; Holloway, 2001; Bucsek, 2008; 2012; 2016b; Černý and Pinratana, 2009; Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2013; 2016; Černý and Bucsek, 2014; Kirti and Singh, 2016). Species of the genus are distributed mostly in Oriental and south of Palaearctic regions, six species are also known from Africa (Kühne, 2007), but their generic placement is unclear and needs revision. During studies of Lithosiini materials from Laos and Vietnam, we found two more, yet undescribed species of Eugoa. The descriptions of the new species are presented below. Ecologica Montenegrina, 19, 2018, 102-109 VOLYNKIN ET AL. Material and Methods The genitalia were dissected and mounted in euparal on glass slides. Photos of imago where taken using the camera Nikon D3100/AF-S Nikkor, 18-55 mm. Genitalia images were taken by the same camera attached to a microscope with an LM-scope adapter.

Eugoa dubatolovi sp. nov. is a closest relative of E. sinxayi sp. nov., E. zolotuhini and E. hainanensis. Externally, the new species (Figs 1–3) can be easily distinguished from E. zolotuhini (Fig. 5) by its larger size, darker forewing ground color, much broader antemedial line of forewing interrupted into two broad dark spots, posteriorly broader postmedial line, and well developed subterminal line; from E. hainanensis (Fig. 6) it differs by the larger size and much broader antemedial line of forewing interrupted into two broad dark spots. The male genitalia of E. dubatolovi sp. nov. (Figs 7–9) differ from those of E. zolotuhini (Fig. 11) by the uncus much broader basally and medially, broader penicular lobes, much longer juxta, much larger, trigonal dorsal lobe of sacculus with less setose dorsal margin (whereas in E. zolotuhini the dorsal lobe of sacculus is much narrower, finger-like, heavily setose), broader apex of valva, larger subapical ventral process of valva, broader subbasal ventral diverticulum, absence of medial dorsal diverticulum, much smaller and slightly C-like curved apical diverticulum, and presence of a row of 3–5 short cornuti in the medial section of vesica (whereas in E. zolotuhini the subbasal ventral diverticulum is narrower, the medial dorsal diverticulum is present, the apical diverticulum is much larger, S-like curved, and there are only two short cornuti in the medial section of vesica); from those of E. hainanensis (Fig. 12) the male genitalia of E. dubatolovi sp. nov. differ by the basally narrower and dorso-ventrally flattened uncus, narrower penicular lobes, dorsally curved distal section за valva, much larger, trigonal dorsal lobe of sacculus, much larger, round apex of valva, much smaller, trigonal subapical ventral process of valva, smaller subbasal ventral diverticulum, absence of medial dorsal diverticulum, much smaller and slightly C- like curved apical diverticulum, and presence of a row of 3–5 short cornuti in the medial section of vesica, whereas in E. hainanensis the basal section of uncus is broader and inflated, the penicular lobes are broader, the distal section of valva is straight, the dorsal lobe of sacculus is smaller, rounded, the apex of valva is small, thorn-like, the subapical ventral process of valva is large, rounded, the subbasal ventral diverticulum is much broader, the medial dorsal diverticulum is present, the apical diverticulum is much larger, S-like curved, and there are only two small cornuti in the medial section of vesica. The differences between E. dubatolovi sp. nov. and E. sinxayi sp. nov. are listed in the diagnosis of the latter.

The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

De Lithosiinen gelijken, in rustenden toestand, vaak op Blattiden of Kakkerlakken, daar zij de breede achtervleugels onder de over het alge- meen smalle, lancetvormige voorvleugels opvouwen en deze gewoonlijk nog over elkaar heengeschoven worden, zoodat de vleugels nauwelijks breeder zijn dan het lichaam. Daarbij komt nog het snelle wegloopen en wegkruipen onder afgevallen bladeren, gras enz. Zij vliegen 's nachts meer dan overdag en nooit ver, laten zich spoedig vallen en kunnen springen. De voorvleugels der meeste soorten zijn opvaliend geteekend met banden en strepen ; de achtervleugels meestal eenkleurig bruin, grijs, wit of geel. De kop is breed met uitpuilende kleine zwarte oogen; de antennen zijn vrij kort, draadvormig of kort gekamd, dikwijls met haarbosjes aan de bases. De palpen zijn recht en kort, soms gebogen, het lichaam is teer, in tegenstelling met dat der Noctui'den enz. De rupsen der Lithosiinen gelijken veel op elkaar; zij leven bijna alle op korstmossen aan boomen, steenen enz.; zij zijn behaard en met wratjes bezet. Bij verontrusting laten zij zich aan een draad zakken om op den grond zich uit de voeten te maken. De spinsels der poppen zijn los uit haren vervaardigd en worden soms aan een draad of een steel vastgemaakt. DETERMINATIE-TABEL VOOR ENKELE GENERA. I. Voorvleugelader 5 ontbreekt. A.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.

The Oxford University Museum collection of moths is very largely a collection of the types of Hope, Saunders, Walker, and Moore, many of the type specimens being unique and of great scientific value. All Walker's types mentioned in his Catalogue of Hetero- cerous Lepidoptera in the British Museum as ' in coll.

VAN EECKE. — (MET 22 TEKSTF1GUREN). Sinds het jaar 1910, waarin Snellen zijne laatste publicatie gaf over eene Sumatraansche Zygaenide, is er in Nederlandsche tijdschriften al zeer weinig verschenen over de Heterocera-fauna onzer Oost-Indische kolonien. Ware Snellen blijven leven, zoo zou hij ongetwijfeld nog vele beschrijvingen van nieuwe soorten gegeven hebben, gezien de bianco naametiketten, die zelfs nu nog in zijne collectie en in die van Piepers te vinden zijn, Nu deze verzamelingen met die van Heylaerts in 'sRijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie ondergebracht zijn en met de oorspron- kelijke museum-collectie zijn samengevoegd en alles, met de aanwinsten der laatste 10 jaren is gerangschikt, mag met de systematische bewer- king van dit belangrijke materiaal niet langer getalmd worden. Onder de aanwinsten verdient bovenal vermelding eene, weliswaar kleine, col• lectie Heterocera, welke door den heer Edw. Jacobson op Simaloer en op Sumatra bijeengebracht werd. Dit omvangrijk materiaal bevat niet alleen een aantal onbekende vor- men, doch geeft ook veel wetenswaardigs omtrent de geographische distribute van verscheidene soorten over ons eilandengebied en omtrent de synonymie van enkele, tot nog toe gescheiden, soorten.

  • Recent Literature on Lepidoptera
    1956 The Lepidopterists' News 121 RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA (Under the supervision of PBTER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to lepidop­ terists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention.
