CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) MOTH REPORT FOR 2014 Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve Holmes Date: July 2015 Cheshire moth report 2014 Introduction An interest in moth recording is currently enjoying an era of increasing popularity. The recent publication of the micro-moth field guide by Sterling, Parsons & Lewington in 2012 has especially helped recorders with the smaller species and this has resulted in over 22,000 new micro-moth records during the year. Correspondingly, there has also been an up tilt in the amount of macro-moth data submitted by observers, culminating in 2014, for the first time ever, in over 51,000 records reaching the County Recorder. The graphs below clearly show the upward trend and long may it continue. Put into a different context, the County Moth database in totality has now reached over a million records, with a shade over 802,000 macros and 202,000 micros, thus 2014 alone accounts for 7.27% of the entire database. P a g e 2 | 35 Cheshire moth report 2014 Weather It was a mild, wet winter with few frosty periods during the early months. These generally mild conditions continued through the spring, enabling reasonably good catches in the light traps. There was plenty of sunshine during the summer months and with warm nights in July several good catches were achieved during the month. August was the coldest since 1993, so numbers of the late summer species were down. September was the driest for 50 years and the mild autumn continued throughout November, providing us more opportunities to look for larvae. Summary Four micro-moths were added to the county list during the year; one as a larval mine and the other three attracted to light. Larval mines of Phyllonorycter roboris (Zeller) were found at Broadbottom and an adult Elachista subocellea (Stephens) at Alsager, both of these have probably remained undetected in Cheshire for many years. Blastobasis rebeli Karsholt & Sinev was caught at Wilmslow and is a recent arrival, whereas Ethmia terminella Fletcher, from Alsager, is a rare migrant. Time and effort dictate that this report cannot be a complete analysis of 75,000+ records; it does however itemise all 127 macro-moth species that were recorded 10 or fewer times during the year as well as some of the most notable micro-moths. This represents something in the order of 30% of all macro-moths and 10% in total of all species reported (970). Throughout what follows, header information relating to each species comprises: 3.004 Gold Swift Hepialus hecta (Linnaeus, 1758) (16) Which, reading left to right detail: Incoming Agassiz, Beavan & Heckford species number Species’ vernacular name Species’ taxonomic name Species’ Author(s) Outgoing Bradley and Fletcher number P a g e 3 | 35 Cheshire moth report 2014 3.004 Gold Swift Hepialus hecta (Linnaeus, 1758) (16) One to light at Ness Gardens on 13th July (ES) was the only record. 4.005 Stigmella betulicola (Stainton, 1856) (110) Larval mines at Bidston Hill on 21st September (MB, SHH, HJ) and Elton on 5th October (SH). 4.020 Stigmella paradoxa (Frey, 1858) (82) A single leaf mine in a roadside Hawthorn Crataegus monogyna at Gawsworth on 4th August (SHH) was in a different area of Cheshire than all our previous records. 4.024 Stigmella magdalenae (Klimesch, 1950) (104) Larval mines at Brockholes Wood, Crowden on 9th September; Todd Brook Valley on 16th & 18th September (SHH). 4.044 Stigmella continuella (Stainton, 1856) (64) Vacated leaf mines at Bidston Hill on 21st September (MB, SHH, HJ). 4.074 Ectoedemia sericopeza (Zeller, 1839) (21) Three records of larval mines in the winged seeds of Norway Maple Acer platanoides at Ness Gardens on 13th August and 12th & 22nd September (MB).

This becomes the most easterly site in Cheshire. Also three cases at Bulkeley Hill on 1st June (SHH). 12.010 Morophaga choragella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) (196) One to light at Moore on 20th July (MC) is the 3rd county record. 12.026 Common Clothes Moth Tineola bisselliella (Hummel, 1823) (236) Several adults were caught in pheromone traps in a house at Adlington during 2014 (SHH). These are the first confirmed records since the 1950’s. 12.040 Monopis imella (Hübner, 1813) (231) One to light at Alsager on 19th July (MD) is the first county record since 1953. 15.003 Caloptilia populetorum (Zeller, 1839) (281) Following the arrival of this species into Cheshire during 2013, there were three additional records of adults at light during 2014; at Alsager on 16th March & 28th April (MD) and Upton, Chester on 2nd August (RW). 15.012 Caloptilia semifascia (Haworth, 1828) (290) Larval mines at Bowdon on 27th August (RH, SHH, BTS), Bidston on 21st September (MB, SHH, HJ), Audlem on 27th September, Reddish Vale on 1st October and Astbury Mere on 1st November (SHH). 15.017 Calybites phasianipennella (Hübner, 1813) (296) Two to light at Wybunbury Moss on 21st May (BB) and one to light at Elton on 20th July (SH), as well as larval mines on Sheep’s Sorrel Rumex acetosella at Bidston Hill on 21st September (MB, HJ, SHH). P a g e 5 | 35 Cheshire moth report 2014 15.035 Phyllonorycter roboris (Zeller, 1839) (316) ** The first county record. Two larval mines were found on the lower branches of an oak Quercus sp. by the bank of Hurstclough Brook, Broadbottom on 9th August (SHH); one mine had been predated whilst the other was retained for rearing and emerged indoors on 9th April 2015. 15.041 Phyllonorycter platani (Staudinger, 1870) (321a) Prior to 2013, this species was known only from the Stockport area SJ89 & 98, where larval mines were first discovered on London Plane Platanus hybrida near Stockport Cemetery in 2006. Further mines were found in the town centre during 2009/2011 and at Hazel Grove in 2011. During 2013 plane trees were checked across the county and platani was found at a further 19 sites, including the following new hectads SJ27, 28, 37, 47, 67, 76, 77, 78, 87 & 88. A further 14 new sites were discovered during 2014, including in new hectads SJ46, 86, 97 & 99, (BTS, GR, HJ, MB, SHH, SJM). The map shows the county distribution at the tetrad level. If anyone is aware of London Plane growing elsewhere in the county, especially in any of the remaining hectads, could they let me have details of the site, so that we can check them for platani in the autumn. 0321a Phyllonorycter platani 1 Records for Year 2000 onwards [2km] Records for Years before 2000 [2km] Records for Years before 1980 [2km] SD SE 9 8 38 Records 0 Individuals 7 36 Sites 6 5 First Recorded in 2006 Last Recorded in 2014 4 Records for Year 2000 onwards [2km] Earliest: Records for Years before 2000 [2km] Latest: Records for Year before 1980 [2km] 3 SJ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 SK 1 2 15.048 Phyllonorycter junoniella (Zeller, 1846) (328) Larval mines were found at two new sites this spring; Staly Brushes on 9th March and near the Cat & Fiddle on 29th April (SHH).

    (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae) – a New Pest Species of Ash Tree in the Republic of Moldova

    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii şi comunicări. Ştiinţele Naturii. Tom. 36, No. 1/2020 ISSN 1454-6914 Tomostethus nigritus F. (HYMENOPTERA, TENTHREDINIDAE) – A NEW PEST SPECIES OF ASH TREE IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA MOCREAC Nadejda Abstract. In the Republic of Moldova, the ash tree is a common forest species, used in the reforestation and afforestation of woods and territories, and widely used as an ornamental tree in cities and along roads. For more than ten years, our ash tree woods have been severely defoliated by the ash weevil Stereonychusfraxini (De Geer, 1775) from Curculionidae family. In the vegetation period of 2018 and 2019, defoliation was seen on ash trees, caused by unknown sawfly larvae species from the Tenthredinidae family. The analyses showed that these pests belong to the Hymenoptera order – the privet sawfly – Macrophya punctumalbum (Linnaeus, 1767), and Tomostethus nigritus (Fabricius, 1804), the last one being a new species for the fauna of the Republic of Moldova. The biggest ash defoliations caused by the Tomostethus nigritus larvae were recorded in the centre of the country, especially in the Nisporeni and Tighina Forest Enterprises and in the “Plaiul Fagului” Scientific Reserve, as well as in the urban space. Keywords: Ash Black sawfly, Tenthredinidae, ash tree, outbreaks, defoliations, Republic of Moldova. Rezumat. Tomostethus nigritus F. (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae) – specie nouă de dăunător al frasinului în Republica Moldova. În Republica Moldova, frasinul este o specie obișnuită, folosită nu numai în reîmpădurire și împădurire dar utilizat pe scară largă ca arbore ornamental în parcurile din orașe și de-a lungul drumurilor. Mai bine de zece ani, pădurile de frasin sunt defoliate anual de către trombarul frunzelor de frasin Stereonychus fraxini (De Geer, 1775) din familia Curculionidae.

Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

CERRIS IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND ESTIMATION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SPECIES Miroslav Kulfan* * Department of Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Mlynská dolina B-1, SK-84215 Bratislava, SLOVAKIA. E-mail: [email protected] [Kulfan, M. 2012. Structure of lepidopterocenoses on oaks Quercus dalechampii and Q. cerris in Central Europe and estimation of the most important species. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 7 (2): 732-741] ABSTRACT: On the basis of lepidopterous larvae a total of 96 species on Quercus dalechampii and 58 species on Q. cerris were recorded in 10 study plots of Malé Karpaty and Trnavská pahorkatina hills. The families Geometridae, Noctuidae and Tortricidae encompassed the highest number of found species. The most recorded species belonged to the trophic group of generalists. On the basis of total abundance of lepidopterous larvae found on Q. dalechampii from all the study plots the most abundant species was evidently Operophtera brumata. The most abundant species on Q. cerris was Cyclophora ruficiliaria. Based on estimated oak leaf area consumed by a larva it is shown that Lymantria dispar was the most important leaf-chewing species of both Q. dalechampii and Q. cerris. KEY WORDS: Slovakia, Quercus dalechampii, Q. cerris, the most important species. About 300 Lepidoptera species are known to damage the assimilation tissue of oaks in Central Europe (Patočka, 1954, 1980; Patočka et al.1999; Reiprich, 2001). Lepidoptera larvae are shown to be the most important group of oak defoliators (Patočka et al., 1962, 1999).

Dezember 2013 ISBN 978-3-938249-04-8 Contributions to knowledge of the geometrid fauna of Bulgaria and Greece, with four species new for the Greek fauna (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) (plate 12) Balázs TÓTH, János BABICS & Balázs BENEDEK Abstract During a tour led by the authors to Bulgaria and Greece in March, 2013, a total of 19 geometrid species were observed at five localities. Biston achyra WEHRLI, 1936, Agriopis marginaria (FABRICIUS, 1776), A. leucophaearia ([DENIS & SCHIffERMÜLLER], 1775) and Erannis ankeraria (STAUDINGER, 1861) were found for the first time in Greece. An entirely new habitat type is included to the biotope range of E. ankeraria, arousing the possibility of this species being widespread in the Mediterranean countries. The authors hope that these observations will encourage attention to the exploration of the populations, thereby contributing to the more efficient protection of this species. Checklists are given to each collecting events. Key words: Biston, Agriopis, Erannis, Bulgaria, Greece, new data, oak woodland, macchia-scrub, soil types Introduction Biston achyra WEHRLI, 1936 was described from Asia Minor and subsequently found in Ukraine (KOSTJUK, 1990), the Levant (KOSTJUK, 1991) and Russia (SINEV, 2008). This species can be distinguished from its relative B. strataria (HUFNAGEL, 1767) by its considerably smaller size, more elongated forewing, and the presence of discal spot on the hindwing. Agriopis marginaria (FABRICIUS, 1776) and A. leucophaearia ([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775) are both frequent and widespread in Europe. The former species is distributed from the Iberian Peninsula to the Urals and the Caucasus Mts., and is also present in Asia Minor.

KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds).

    Lepidoptera in Cheshire in 2002 A Report on the Micro-Moths, Butterflies and Macro-Moths of VC58 S.H. Hind, S. McWilliam, B.T. Shaw, S. Farrell and A. Wander Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society November 2003 1 1. Introduction Welcome to the 2002 report on lepidoptera in VC58 (Cheshire). This is the second report to appear in 2003 and follows on from the release of the 2001 version earlier this year. Hopefully we are now on course to return to an annual report, with the 2003 report planned for the middle of next year. Plans for the ‘Atlas of Lepidoptera in VC58’ continue apace. We had hoped to produce a further update to the Atlas but this report is already quite a large document. We will, therefore produce a supplementary report on the Pug Moths recorded in VC58 sometime in early 2004, hopefully in time to be sent out with the next newsletter. As usual, we have produced a combined report covering micro-moths, macro- moths and butterflies, rather than separate reports on all three groups. Doubtless observers will turn first to the group they are most interested in, but please take the time to read the other sections. Hopefully you will find something of interest. Many thanks to all recorders who have already submitted records for 2002. Without your efforts this report would not be possible. Please keep the records coming! This request also most definitely applies to recorders who have not sent in records for 2002 or even earlier. It is never too late to send in historic records as they will all be included within the above-mentioned Atlas when this is produced.

The feeding resulted on an average of 20% loss of nuts in Mysore and Mandya districts of Karnataka, South India. The mean egg incubation period was 2.95 ± 0.55 days. Larval stage comprised four instars and the mean duration of first, second, third and fourth instar larvae were 2.55 ±2.50, 2.75 ± 0.35, 3.40 ± 0.57 and 4.10 ± 0.61 days, respectively. Total larval period varied from 11 to 14 days, with an average of 12.80 ± 1.01 days. Mean pupal period was 7.20 ± 0.86 days. The total developmental period occupied 22.95 ±1.17 days. Adult females lived longer (6.50 ± 1.20 days) than males (5.50 ± 0.78 days). The study indicated that B. arenosella has more than one generation a year. Short life cycle, presence of adults and larvae throughout the year in an overlapping manner and a perennial host characterizes B. arenosella to be an economically important pest.
