Storfjarilar 2004 Ent. Tidskr. 125 (2004) Storfjärilsfynd i Sverige 2003 Intressanta fynd av storfjärilar (Macrolepidoptera) i Sverige 2003 MARKUS FRANZÉN Franzén, M.: Intressanta fynd av storfjärilar (Macrolepidoptera) i Sverige 2003. [Interes- ting Macrolepidoptera finds in Sweden 2003.] – Entomologisk Tidskrift 125 (1-2): 27- 42. Uppsala, Sweden 2004. ISSN 0013-886x. This is the 31th consecutive annual report on interesting Macrolepidoptera finds in Swe- den. Several species are expanding northwards and have been reported in larger numbers than ever before. In July there were several periods with weather suitable for migration, when among other finds, Pericallia matronula and Lacanobia splendens were observed on the Baltic island of Gotland in mid July and have never been reported from Sweden before. In 2003 several other interesting observations were made, and among the presumptive mig- rants or recently established species were: Argyronome laodice, Rhodometra sacraria, Ort- honama obstipata, Agrius convolvuli, Acherontia atropos, Macroglossum stellatarum, Hy- les euphorbiae, Rhyparia purpurata, Herminia tarsicrinalis, Nycteola asiatica, Lamprotes c-aureum, Minucia lunaris, Catocala (Ephesia) fulminea, Colobochyla salicalis, Eucarta virgo, Hydraecia ultima, Hoplodrina ambigua, Lithophane semibrunnea, Mythimna turca, Peridroma saucia, Noctua interposita, Heliothis maritima, Heliothis armigera, and H. pel- tigera. Species that appeared in larger numbers than usual and which seem to have in- creased their distribution were: Apatura iris, Araschnia levana, Tyria jacobaeae, Cyclop- hora porata, Idaea ochrata, Scopula marginepunctata, Deltote deceptoria, Deltote banki- ana, Catocala nupta, C. promissa, C. sponsa, Hecatera dysodea and Noctua interjecta. The situation for Mellicta britomartis, Pachycnemia hippocastanaria and Cucullia argentea is alarming, as they seem to be limited to only a few remaining localities. Due to the warm summer, many species were observed to have additional generations in August and Sep- tember. The total number of species found in Sweden is 1092, 9 of them are considered to be introduced. Two species classified as introduced have been added to the Swedish list in 2003: Sibene (Acharia) stimulea and Chrysodeixis eriosoma. Markus Franzén, Ekologihuset, 223 62 Lund, Sweden.

  • Climate Change and Conservation of Orophilous Moths at the Southern Boundary of Their Range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera)
    Eur. J. Entomol. 106: 231–239, 2009 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1447 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) On top of a Mediterranean Massif: Climate change and conservation of orophilous moths at the southern boundary of their range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera) STEFANO SCALERCIO CRA Centro di Ricerca per l’Olivicoltura e l’Industria Olearia, Contrada Li Rocchi-Vermicelli, I-87036 Rende, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Biogeographic relict, extinction risk, global warming, species richness, sub-alpine prairies Abstract. During the last few decades the tree line has shifted upward on Mediterranean mountains. This has resulted in a decrease in the area of the sub-alpine prairie habitat and an increase in the threat to strictly orophilous moths that occur there. This also occurred on the Pollino Massif due to the increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in Southern Italy. We found that a number of moths present in the alpine prairie at 2000 m appear to be absent from similar habitats at 1500–1700 m. Some of these species are thought to be at the lower latitude margin of their range. Among them, Pareulype berberata and Entephria flavicinctata are esti- mated to be the most threatened because their populations are isolated and seem to be small in size. The tops of these mountains are inhabited by specialized moth communities, which are strikingly different from those at lower altitudes on the same massif further south. The majority of the species recorded in the sub-alpine prairies studied occur most frequently and abundantly in the core area of the Pollino Massif.

(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Hadeninae) von Werner Wolf & Andreas Bischof Summary: First reliable records of Conisania luteago ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) from Bavaria (Lower Franconia) are given. Possible origin and area expansion of this species within the last decades is shor tly discussed. Zusammenfassung: Es werden die ersten gesicherten Nachweise von Conisania luteago ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) aus Bayern (Unterfranken) gemeldet. Die damit im Zusammenhang stehende Arealerweiterung dieser Art wird kurz dargestellt und diskutiert. Einleitung In den vergangenen zehn Jahren konnten in Bayern einige Schmetterlingsarten festgestellt werden, die vor- her nicht zum bayerischen Fauneninventar gehörten. Erwähnt seien hier nur Caradrina kadenii (Freyer, 1836) (Kratochwill, 2005; Sage, 2005), Menophra abruptaria (Thunberg, 1792) (Wolf, 2010) oder aktuell Pieris mannii (Mayer, 1851) (Kratochwill, 2011). Deren Zuwanderung erfolgte entlang schon früher bekannter und für einige der genannten Arten auch „erwarteter“ Einwanderungswege. Umso überra- schender waren die Funde von Conisania luteago ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), über die hier be- richtet werden soll.

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

W arszawa, 31.12.2002 45 131-145 Grażyna W i n i a r s k a Butterflies and moths ( Lepidoptera ) in urban habitats: the moths of Warsaw I. Noctuidae, Pantheidae, Nolidae Abstract: 302 moth species of the families Noctuidae, Pantheidae and Nolidae have been recorded in Warsaw to date. Of these, in historical times were recorded 286 species (86 of them only then, including one - M. acetosellae, which can no longer be found in Poland). Most of these species are now regarded as very rare and occurring only locally in Central Europe (e.g. I. calvaria, S. taenialis, C. pacta, P. moneta, P. cheiranthi, H. ononis, A. caliginosa, D. oo, T. ludifica). Contemporary records list 212 species, most of which are widely distributed in Poland and classified as abundant (e.g. D. trifolii, M. pallens, X. c-nigrum, A. exclamationis). 7 species: M. confusa, A. gamma, S. scutosa, H. peltigera, S. exigua, L. zollikoferi and A. ipsilon are migrant visitors. Key words: Noctuidae, Pantheidae, Nolidae, Lepidoptera, urban habitats, Warsaw Author's address: Museum and Institute of Zoology PAS, Wilcza 64, 00-679 Warszawa, POLAND INTRODUCTION Studies of Lepidoptera from urban habitats have not been carried out in too many Polish towns. Warsaw is now the most extensively studied Polish town, with research carried out both in the city and in its suburbs, starting from the mid-19th century. As early as 1764-1798, during his expeditions K.H. Perthes, the court geographer of king Stanisław August Poniatowski collected, among others, insects ( Coleoptera, Orthoptera and Lepidoptera).

  • Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
    Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.

  • Michael Fibiger 1945 - 2011
    Esperiana Band 16: 7-38 Schwanfeld, 06. Dezember 2011 ISBN 978-3-938249-01-7 Michael FIBIGER 1945 - 2011 Our dear friend and colleague, Michael FIBIGER, died on 16 February, 2011, peacefully and in the presence of the closest members of his family. For close on 18 months he had battled heroically and with characteristic determination against a particularly unpleasant form of cancer, and continued with his writing and research until close to the end. Michael was born on 29 June, 1945, in Hellerup, a suburb of Copenhagen, and began catching moths at the age of nine, particularly in the vicinity of the summer house where they stayed on the north coast of Zealand. By the time he was 11, he wanted to join the Danish Lepidoptera Society but was told he was too young and must wait “a couple of years”. So, exactly two years later he applied again and was accepted – as the youngest-ever Member of the Society. Michael always knew he wanted to be a teacher, and between 1965 and 1970 he attended training college at Hel- lerup Seminarium. Having graduated, he taught Danish, Biology and Special Education at Gentofte School until 1973. In the meantime, he studied Clinical Psychology at the University of Copenhagen from 1970 to 1976, and from 1973 to 1981 he became School Psychologist for elementary schools and high schools in the municipality of Gentofte, work which involved investigation and testing of children with psychiatric problems, counselling, supervi- sion and therapy. He was also an instructor in drug prevention for the Ministry of Education.
