Sv ir id o v received 24.II.2000 Summary: 630 species of the Noctuidae are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna. 2 species [Mesapamea hedeni Graeser and Amphidrina amurensis Staudinger ) are noted from Europe for the first time and one more— Nycteola siculana Fuchs —from Russia. 3 species ( Catocala optata Godart , Helicoverpa obsoleta Fabricius , Pseudohadena minuta Pungeler ) are deleted from the list. Supposedly they were either erroneously determinated or incorrect noted from the region under consideration since Eversmann 's work. 289 species are recorded from the re gion in addition to Eversmann 's list. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the pres ent-day fauna of noctuid-moths in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This re gion comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bash kiria. As was accepted in the first part of this series, only material reliably labelled, and cover ing the last 20 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V.

Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk
Dumfries & Galloway Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk. Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.

A New Global Citizen Science Project Focused on Moths
TAR Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews 6 (2013) 185–200 brill.com/tar National Moth Week - a new global citizen science project focused on moths David Moskowitz1 and Liti Haramaty2 1EcolSciences, Inc. 75 Fleetwood Drive, Suite 250, Rockaway, New Jersey, USA, and Department of Entomology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA e-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA e-mail: [email protected] Received on January 22, 2013. Accepted on February 9, 2013. Final version received on April 4, 2013 Summary National Moth Week is a global citizen science project focusing on moths. During the first National Moth Week, which took place in July 2012, people in over 300 locations worldwide observed and documented the presence of moths in various habitats. This article describes the project’s goals and the methods used to achieve those goals. A summary of outreach activities and data collection is presented. Keywords Moth; Lepidoptera; Citizen Science; National Moth Week Introduction Scientific contributions by non-professionals are well documented, particularly in fields of study where observation is important, such as archaeology, astronomy, and natural history (Silvertown, 2009). In Entomology there is also a vast body of research and publications that utilize data and observations collected by non-professionals (citi- zen scientists) (ECLS 2012; Miller, 1986; Kristensen et al., 2007). Moth biodiversity is remarkably high as these insects are one of the most successful lineages of organisms on earth (Kristensen et al., 2007, Schweitzer et al., 2011). As a result of ongoing survey efforts, estimates of the number of species approximate 150,000 (Arnett, 2000, van Nieukerken et al., 2011) to possibly as many as 500,000 (Kristensen et al., 2007). -

Newsletter 41 January 2021
Newsletter 41 January 2021 Lockdown Special - Species to look for in Cerodontha iridis Winter: Dip: Agromyzidae: Agromyzid larvae can still be found actively feeding during the winter and careful searching may also reveal those pupariating inside stems. Cerodontha iridis (Hendel, 1927) This leaf miner of iris species forms large conspicuous blotch mines which have a mottled appearance. It looks rather as if someone has tried to whitewash a leaf with a dirty paint brush! A good miner to look for in supermarket car parks, parks and gardens. Map © National Agromyzidae Recording Scheme Phytomyza hellebori Kaltenbach, 1872: This miner is found in Helleborus species, mostly in Stinking Hellbore (Helleborus foetidus), and is a good species to look for in your gardens and also in parks. The mines develop throughout the winter and are initially black and linear. As they develop they may form a blotch and then whiten as they age. The mines are very visible and several may Photo ©Rob Edmunds develop in a leaf. It was first discovered in the UK in 2000 and is Its current distribution is shown: spreading into the West and North from the southern counties. 1 Ragwort stems may hold a variety of puparia such as Melanagromyza aeneoventris (Fallén, 1823), Melanagromyza dettmeri Hering, 1933, Melanagromyza eupatorii Spencer, 1957 and Melanagromyza oligophaga Spencer, 1990. This Ragwort stem has been mined by Melanagromyza eupatorii and has the puparium in situ: Photo ©Rob Edmunds Phytomyza hellebori Carefully collect some stems and split from the bottom upwards. Take care that any puparia found do not ‘ping’ out of the stems as you open them up! Puparia, if present, are tiny cigar-shaped objects with very distinctive hooked posterior spiracles. -

E-mail: [email protected] The paper contains data on the fauna of the Lepidoptera families Erebidae (excluding subfamilies Lymantriinae and Arctiinae) and Noctuidae of the Saur Mountains (East Kazakhstan). The check list includes 216 species. The map of collecting localities is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Erebidae, Asia, Kazakhstan, Saur, fauna. 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. -

The discovery by Leraut (2003) of the existence of a species closely related to Acleris emargana (Fabricius, 1775) is confirmed. It is shown that this was already known to lepidopterists in the first half of the 19th century, but like many Acleris names later regarded as only a form, the name Acleris effractana (Hübner, 1799) is the oldest name for the species. A neotype for A. effractana is designated. A. effractana is shown to have a Holarctic distribution, with occurrence only in the northern part of Europe.
