PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera, Tineoidea, Meessiidae, Tineidae, nuevas especies, Paleártico occidental. Introduction Through the kindness of several colleagues it was possible in recent years to examine a rich material of the above-mentioned families. As a result, some previously undescribed taxa were detected, which are described below as new species. Additionally, the hitherto unknown females of two species were found. REGIER et al. (2014), in reconstructing lepidopteran phylogeny based on 19 genes, found Eudarcia Clemens, 1860 to be the sister group to all remaining Ditrysia, and that it belongs to the Meessiidae, not to the Tineidae. The arrangement of the taxa below follows this opinion. Abbreviations coll. Baldizzone Giorgio Baldizzone, Asti, Italy coll. Junnilainen Jari Junnilainen, Vantaa, Finland coll.

Junnilainen. Description (Fig. 1): Wingspan 8mm; head brush golden-brown; labial palpus cream-coloured, short, second segment apically bristled; antenna nearly as long as forewing, ringed, scape cream- coloured; thorax and tegulae dark brown; forewing dark brown, with pattern of white thin stripes: first stripe at 1/4, from dorsum to costa, nearly straight, second stripe after 1/2, from beginning of fringe to costa, slightly bent to apex, in the mid interrupted, a third short stripe before apex from costa nearly to base of fringe, fringe overlaid with dark brown scales; hindwing dark brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 12): Uncus with rounded tip, laterally each a semicircular lobe, vinculum with two lateral incisions, saccus short; subscaphium large, U-shaped, with numerous strong sclerotized spines; valva with narrow apodeme, costal edge more or less straight, apically rounded with minute tip, ventral edge more or less straight too, clearly shorter than costal edge, apically with thin, strongly sclerotized tooth, apical edge between costal and ventral apex roundly incised; phallus as long as ventral edge of valva, with one long, thin, strongly sclerotized cornutus. Female genitalia: Unknown. Etymology: Named after the colouration of adults. Diagnosis: Superficially similar to the group of species, formerly placed in the genus Meessia, clear differences are seen in the structure of the genitalia: shape of uncus, subscaphium and valva.

[genitalia slide] Pet[ersen] 2188;” “Holotypus 1, Eudarcia dierli sp. n., det. R. Gaedike 2017;” ZSM. Description (Fig. 2): Wingspan 13mm; head nearly completely destroyed, antennae broken, head brush, so far visible, whitish; thorax and tegulae whitish; forewing whitish with a brown pattern: an oblique stripe from 1/4 below costa to beginning of fringe, a short stripe on costa apically 1/2, a short hook-like stripe before apex, shadow-like prolonged along termen; fringe with two brown lines; entire wing overlaid with scattered brown scales; hindwing white. Male genitalia (Fig. 13): Uncus with two thin, more strongly sclerotized lobes, tegumen broad, vinculum band-shaped, without saccus, subscaphium longer than breadth of tegumen, apically rounded, with numerous minute thorns; valva longer than uncus-tegumen-saccus complex, nearly completely divided into a shorter ventral part, distally finger-like, with two short thorns and a much longer costal arm, apically rounded, ventral edge of costal arm prolonged to pointed tip with short thorn; apodeme with long thin process; phallus short, straight, without cornuti. Female genitalia: Unknown. Etymology: Named after the late Wolfgang Dierl, the collector of the type specimen. Diagnosis: Superficially somewhat similar to E. orbiculodomus (Sakai & Saigusa, 1999), but much larger. Clear differences are in the genitalia structure: vinculum without saccus, valva divided into two parts, while orbiculodomus possesses a saccus, but the valva is undivided. 76 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 47 (185) marzo 2019 NEW WEST PALAEARCTIC MEESSIIDAE AND TINEIDAE Eudarcia balcanicum (Gaedike, 1988) The material, collected in BULGARIA: Blagojevgrad, Popori Livadi, 1415 m, 8-VIII-2013, leg. et coll.

Male genitalia (Fig. 16): Uncus with two thin, strongly sclerotized lobes with pointed tips; subscaphium small, strongly sclerotized, with dentate inner edge, V-shaped; posterior margin of vinculum with deep lateral incisions, saccus long, with rounded tip; valva as long as vinculum + saccus, nearly parallel-sided, costal edge slightly concave, ventral edge slightly convex, basal third narrowly folded, apex rounded; phallus longer than uncus-tegumen-saccus complex, straight, the apical fourth needle-like.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • New Data on the Distribution and Biology of Tineid Moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) Associated with Forest Habitats
    Entomological News 35 (2) 91–105 Poznań 2016 New data on the distribution and biology of tineid moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) associated with forest habitats Xavier DOBRZAŃSKI1, Tomasz JAWORSKI2 1 ul. Odrzańska 17/5, 50-113 Wrocław, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Zakład Ochrony Lasu, Instytut Badawczy Leśnictwa, Sękocin Stary, ul. Braci Leśnej 3, 05-090 Raszyn, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper presents data on the distribution of 24 species of tineid moths in Poland. The data were obtained based on a few methods of collecting of moths, mainly with use of artificial light and rearing of adults from decaying wood and bracket fungi inhabited by larvae. Nearly a dozen of species were recorded from particular regions of Poland for the first time. The study also revealed the new aspects of biology and ecology of a few species. KEY WORDS: faunistics, biological diversity, Microlepidoptera, clothes moths, fungus moths, bracket fungi, dead wood. Introduction Tineidae (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) constitutes a moth family abundantly represented in the world, distinguishable from among other taxa with original biology and habitat preferences (ROBINSON 2009). Its caterpillars – depending on a given subfamily – are mycetophages, lichenophages, keratophages, or saproxylophages, yet they more rarely feed on living plant parts. The majority of species inhabit old deciduous forests, where a high species diversity of arboreal fungi and rich ornitofauna are maintained. Forest areas that are economically intensively exploited are usually characterised with a low diversity of Tineidae, as the removal of dying and 92 X. DOBRZAŃSKI, T. JAWORSKI hollowy trees leads to the elimination of potential habitats for the development of these insects.

The Azores archipelago The Azores are a volcanic archipelago located in the middle of North Atlantic Ocean. Together with the archipelagos of Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde, they are part of Macaronesia, the “happy islands” (Fernández-Palacios, 2010). The Azorean Islands were discovered by Portuguese naviga- tors in 1427 (Santa Maria), Flores and Corvo being the last islands to be found in 1452. However, accord- ing to old maps its existence was previously known. It is believed that the archipelago received its name from birds that were common in these islands either the Goshawk (Açor in Portuguese) or a local subspe- cies of Buzzard (Buteo buteo rothschildi) that the sailors erroneously identified as goshawks (Frutuoso, 1963). The archipelago is composed by nine main islands and some small islets. The islands are divided in three groups: the eastern group with Santa Maria, São Miguel and Formigas islets, the central group with Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico and Faial and the western group composed by Flores and Corvo (Fig.
