Rapport SPN 2013 - 19 (Septembre 2013) Dupont (Pascal), Demerges (David), Drouet (Eric) et Luquet (Gérard Chr.). 2013. Révision systématique, taxinomique et nomenclaturale des Rhopalocera et des Zygaenidae de France métropolitaine. Conséquences sur l’acquisition et la gestion des données d’inventaire. Rapport MMNHN-SPN 2013 - 19, 201 p. Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups. A full update has been performed in this work. -

Se destaca la influencia de la altitud y temperatura ambiental en la intensidad cromática de las formas locales de sus especies. Se señala la presencia de esta coloración defensiva en las especies del único género Paleártico de Chacosiinae (Aglaope), a diferencia de la coloración críptica, de camuflaje, en todas las especies Paleárticas de Procridinae, donde la formación de cianoglucósidos es muy baja o no está comprobada. Se acompañan varios anexos: una lista revisada de todos los géneros, subgéneros y especies de Zyganoidea que colonizan la Península Ibérica (anexo 1), la etimología de los nombre de las especies citadas (anexo 2) y un glosario de los términos poco usuales (anexo 3).

Newly Discovered Morphs of Zygaena Dorycnii Ochsenheimer, 1808 (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae, Zygaeninae) in the Crimea, Ukraine
2013, Entomologist’s Gazette 64 : 111–115 Newly discovered morphs of Zygaena dorycnii Ochsenheimer, 1808 (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae, Zygaeninae) in the Crimea, Ukraine KONSTANTIN A. EFETOV Crimean State Medical University, UA–95006 Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine [email protected] VLADIMIR V. SAVCHUK Gagarina, 8–31, Primorskiy, UA–98177 Feodosiya, Crimea, Ukraine Synopsis Yellow, melanistic and suffused-confluent morphs of Zygaena dorycnii are newly recorded from the Crimea. Key words : Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Zygaeninae, Zygaena dorycnii , yellow morph, melanistic morph, suffused-confluent morph, Crimea. Introduction Zygaena dorycnii Ochsenheimer, 1808, is distributed in the Crimea only in the eastern part of the peninsula (Holik & Sheljuzhko, 1958; Hofmann & Tremewan, 1996; Efetov, 1990 a; 1990 b; 1991; [1999]; 2004; 2005). Hitherto only red six- spotted peucedanoid morphs (Fig. 1) of this species were known from the Crimea (Efetov, 2005: pl. 15, figs 24.1, 24.2, pl. 30, fig. 1), but new morphs were recorded recently. The nomenclature of the morphs mentioned in this paper follows that of Tremewan (2006) and Hofmann et al . (2009). In the Crimea, Z. dorycnii is represented by Z. dorycnii kertshensis (Obraztsov, 1935) that differs from the nominotypical subspecies (Fig. 5) by the more rounded spots of the forewing and the narrower black margin of the hindwing (Holik & Sheljuzhko, 1958: 257). In 2010–2011, among hundreds of typical red peucedanoid specimens, yellow (one male, one female), melanistic (one female) and suffused-confluent (one female) morphs of Z. dorycnii were found in Primorskiy (12 m above sea level, 9 km NE. of Feodosiya). The biotope is located on a roadside verge where Securigera varia (L.) Lassen (Fabaceae), the host-plant of the larva of Z. -

Part IX: On two newly discovered Mesembrynus taxa from the central and southern Zagros range Axel Hofmann ^ & Thomas Keil^ ' Verenenweg 4, 79206 Breisach-Hochstetten, Germany; [email protected] 2 Wachwitzer Bergstr. 5b, 01326 Dresden, Germany; [email protected] Abstract. Two new taxa of the genus Zygaena are described from the Iranian Zagros range: Zygaena mir- zayansi sp. n. from the central part of the Zagros and Z.fredi valii ssp. n. from the mountainous regions in the province Kerman. There are observations on the preimaginal biology of the two taxa. For Z. mirzayansi sp. n., the full grown larva is known. It was found on Eiyngium billardieri. Zygaenafredi valii ssp. n. feeds on Bupleurum exaltatum (M. Bieb.) or a very close related Bupleurum. The larvae of Z.fredi syntopica, Z.fredi escaleraiana and Z. mirzayansii are figured for the first time. The type-localities of Z.fredi escale- raiana and Z. escalerai have been located more precisely. The types of Z. fredi, Z. fredi escaleraiana, Z. fredi syntopica and Z. mirzayansi are figured. Zusammenfassung. Aus dem iranischen Zagrosgebirge werden zwei neue Zygaenentaxa beschrieben: Zygaena mirzayansi sp. n. aus dem zentralen Zagros und Z.fredi valii ssp. n. aus den Gebirgsregionen der Provinz Kerman. Beobachtungen zur Präimginalbiologie beider Taxa sind sehr spärlich. Von Z. mirzayansi sp. n. ist die erwachsene Raupe bekannt. Sie wurde auf Eryngium billardieri gefunden. -

We do hope that you enjoy the Symposium but that equally you immerse yourself in the experience of staying in such an historic and picturesque place. The people of Mull are delighted to welcome visitors to their beautiful island and we will try and give you time to enjoy Tobermory and, on our excursions, we will include some of the wonderful scenery along the iconic coastline. Our Symposium includes papers on some Zygaenidae in very distant places; some of the results of recent work on the chemical ecology of Zygaenidae and the way that pheromones influence their lives; discussion of their ecology and behaviour; some recent work on the taxonomy of difficult species groups; and an account of conservation activities, focussing on Scottish burnet moths. Symposium papers will be presented at Glengorm Castle, north-west of Tobermory; the main outing will visit the north-west coast of Mull, before travelling down to the small island of Ulva; and then on Sunday 21st the papers focussed on Scottish species and their conservation will be at the Aros Hall in Tobermory.
