In this Newsletter there are two reports of successful trips by EIG members to Mount Chelmos in Greece (Page 9 & 10) and to Hungary (Page 11,12 & 13). These activities are beginning to influence local National Parks and it was encouraging to hear that grazing has resumed in the Latrany Valley in Hungary something that the West Midlands group that went to Hungary in 2006 recommended. It was this group that formed EIG. We are able to organize activities in Europe only if we don’t fall foul of the 1991 EU Travel Directive and the 1993 EU Package Travel Directive. This means for all EIG trips we have to either use a travel company such as Ecotours or book our own flights and accommodation as we did in Greece or to travel independently and meet up at the arranged site as we did in the Ecrins last year. There is however an insurance issue outstanding, which would cover BC from, claims from anyone participating in the same way as they are covered by BC’s insurance for a field event or work party in the UK. -

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. -

First record of Charaxes jasius (Linnaeus, 1767) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) from Cuenca province (eastern Spain) Abstract: The first record of Charaxes jasius from Cuenca province (eastern Spain) is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Charaxes jasius, Arbutus unedo, eastern Iberian silicicolous maquis, Sites of Community Importance (SCI), Iberian Peninsula, Cuenca, Serranía baja. Charaxes jasius (Linnaeus, 1767) es el único representante europeo de un extenso género de mariposas (unas 250 especies) de amplia distribución tropical (Aduse-Poku et al., 2009). Su distribución abarca el norte de África y las regiones mediterráneas costeras del sur de Europa hasta Grecia. En la Península Ibérica se encuentra general- mente en zonas con presencia de madroño (Arbutus unedo), planta nutricia de la oruga, principalmente en la orla costera atlántica y medi- terránea, aunque también en áreas del interior central y nororiental peninsular, alcanzando incluso Madrid. Hasta ahora no había sido citada de la provincia de Cuenca (García-Barros et al., 2004). Alcanza hasta los 800 m.s.n.m en terrenos montañosos y húmedos, como en el Prepirineo aragonés (Murria-Beltrán et al., 2008) aunque algunos individuos han sido capturados a más de 1200 m.s.n.m, posiblemente divagantes que ascienden a cotas más altas de manera temporal (Montagud & García-Alamá, 2010). -
Distribution Models of the Spanish Argus and Its Food Plant, the Storksbill, Suggest Resilience to Climate Change
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 42.1 (2019) 45 Distribution models of the Spanish argus and its food plant, the storksbill, suggest resilience to climate change A. Zarzo–Arias, H. Romo, J. C. Moreno, M. L. Munguira Zarzo–Arias, A., Romo, H., Moreno, J. C., Munguira, M. L., 2019. Distribution models of the Spanish argus and its food plant, the storksbill, suggest resilience to climate change. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 42.1: 45–57, https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2019.42.0045 Abstract Distribution models of the Spanish argus and its food plant, the storksbill, suggest resilience to climate change. Climate change is an important risk factor for the survival of butterflies and other species. In this study, we developed predictive models that show the potentially favourable areas for a lepidopteran endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish argus (Aricia morronensis), and its larval food plants, the storksbill (genus Erodium). We used species distribution modelling software (MaxEnt) to perform the models in the present and in the future in two climatic scenarios based on climatic and topographic variables. The results show that climate change will not significantly affectA. morronensis distribution, and may even slightly favour its expansion. Some plants may undergo a small reduction in habitat favourability. However, it seems that the interaction between this butterfly and its food plants is unlikely to be significantly affected by climate change. Key words: Distribution models, Climate change, Interaction, Butterfly, Larval food plants, MaxEnt Resumen Los modelos de distribución de la morena española y las plantas nutricias de sus larvas sugieren resistencia frente al cambio climático. -

TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA NEWS December 1996 No.4 LEPIDOPTERORUM CATALOGUS (New Series) The new world catalog of Lepidoptera renews the series title The new series (as edited by J. B. Heppner) began already in first begun in 1911. The original catalog series was published by 1989 with publication of the catalog of Noctuidae, by R. Poole. W. Junk Publishers of Berlin, Germany (later The Hague, E. J. Brill Publishers, of Leiden, Netherlands, published this first Netherlands), continuing until 1939 when the incomplete series fascicle in 3 volumes, covering already about a third of all known was deactivated due to World War II. The original series Lepidoptera. Since ATL took over the series, several families completed a large number of families between 1911 and 1939, have been readied for publication. Already this month, Fascicle totalling about 3 shelf-feet of text. Most Microlepidoptera, 48, on Epermeniidae, was published (authored by R. Gaedike, of however, were not covered, as also several macro families like the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Eberswalde, Germany). Noctuidae, and several families are incomplete (e.g., Geometridae In 1997, several other smaller families are expected, including and Pyralidae). Even for what was treated, the older catalogs are Acanthopteroctetidae (Davis), Acrolepiidae (Gaedike), Cecidosi now greatly out of date, due to the description of many new dae (Davis), Cercophanidae (Becker), Glyphipterigidae (Heppner), species and many changes in nomenclature over the last 5 to 8 Neotheoridae (Kristensen), Ochsenheimeriidae (Davis), Opostegi decades. dae (Davis), and Oxytenidae (Becker). Much of the publication The new series resembles the old series in some ways but it schedule depends on the cooperation of various specialists who will also have features not found in the old work. -

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 39.1 (2016) 115 Effects of climate change on three species of Cupido (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) with different biogeographic distribution in Andalusia, southern Spain R. Obregón, J. Fernández Haeger & D. Jordano Obregón, R., Fernández Haeger, J. & Jordano, D., 2016. Effects of climate change on three species of Cupido (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) with different biogeographic distribution in Andalusia, southern Spain. Animal Bio- diversity and Conservation, 39.1: 115–128. Abstract Effects of climate change on three species of Cupido (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) with different biogeographic distribution in Andalusia, southern Spain.— Knowledge of the spatial distribution of rare or endangered species is of key importance to assess conservation status at different geographic scales and to develop conservation and recovery programs. In this paper we review and update the distribution of three species of Lycaenid butterflies in Andalusia (southern Spain): Cupido carswelli, C. lorquinii, and C. osiris. Cupido carswelli is endemic in south east Spain and is considered a vulnerable species in the Red Book of Inver- tebrates of Andalusia. Cupido lorquinii is an Iberian–Maghrebian endemism, found in the southern half of the Iberian peninsula. Cupido osiris, widely distributed in Europe and Central Asia, has its southern limit of distribution in Andalusia. We modeled the potential current distribution of these species in Andalusia, using Maxent. Their potential distribution was mainly conditioned by the presence of their host plants and, to a lesser extent, by climatic variables: rainfall during the warmest and coldest quarters of the year and annual mean temperature. AUC test values, sensitivity, and specificity for the three models were high, confirming the accuracy of the models and their high predictive values. -

There are 611 specimens were collected in the current study; these Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq specimens belong to 5 orders, 25 families, 45 genera and 52 species. In total the percent of pollinator groups investigated were recorded; bees and wasps were the most abundant with 51.3% of the total number of individuals, followed by butterflies 16.03%, beetles 14.07%, flies 13.25% and hemipteran with less 5.23%. In this investigation the species of Myathropa florae (Linnaeus, 1758) was registered as a new record from Iraq. Keywords: Bees, Diversity, Flowers, Iraq, Pollinators. 1. Introduction Pollination by animals is an essential ecological process, which ensures plant reproduction in 60-90% of angiosperms [1, 2, 3], and provides products and food for human mankind and animals [3] In natural and semi-natural habitats up to 90% of all flowering plant species rely on [1] pollination by animals, mainly insects such as bees . The most important pollinators for arable weeds are wild bees, honeybees and bumblebees, and sometimes flies and butterflies [4]. Globally, there are 19.500 described species of bee; there are many other pollinating insects such as hoverflies and other flies, beetles, butterflies, moths and beetles. -

Holiday Highlights Croatia and Slovenia 17 – 25 June 2017
Holiday Highlights Croatia and Slovenia 17 – 25 June 2017 Guides: Roy Atkins, Milan Vogrin and Istvan Pentek Guests: Alison Cawley & John Scotford, Joyce & Tony Sawford, Sheila Rodgers, John Duerden, Christine & Max Maughan, Heather Welcome and Jane Atkins Day 1: We gather at Stansted Airport for our flight to Ljubljana where we arrive a little early. We are greeted by Milan, our local guide, along with an ‘apprentice guide’ called Istvan and our driver Janos. We are soon on our way heading quickly out of town and into the countryside and we pass agricultural fields but also woodlands and small villages before getting further out into the hills. Here the slopes of the hills become completely covered in forest and Milan explains that this is the second most heavily forested country in Europe after Finland. We see remarkably few birds - the occasional Buzzard but little else. We pass through Bled which is a real tourist spot with the beautiful blue lake, the castle perched above it on a rocky crag and the well photographed island church. Milan points out the strange gondola like boats being rowed by a standing man at the back - a speciality here. As we travel on, the countryside becomes even hillier and the snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps are visible above the tree-line. We arrive at the hotel with a view out to the mountains and after a little time settling in meet up for our evening meal. A Spotted Flycatcher is nesting in the roof and also Tree Sparrows then, while we are eating, a family of Hawfinches fly in and land in the trees close by. -
Introduction
BULGARIA Nick Greatorex-Davies. European Butterflies Group Contact ([email protected]) Local Contact Prof. Stoyan Beshkov. ([email protected]) National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Sofia, Butterfly Conservation Europe Partner Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Stanislav Abadjiev compiled and collated butterfly records for the whole of Bulgaria and published a Local Recording Scheme distribution atlas in 2001 (see below). Records are still being gathered and can be sent to Stoyan Beshkov at NMNH, Sofia. Butterfly List See Butterflies of Bulgaria website (Details below) Introduction Bulgaria is situated in eastern Europe with its eastern border running along the Black Sea coast. It is separated from Romania for much of its northern border by the River Danube. It shares its western border with Serbia and Macedonia, and its southern border with Greece and Turkey. Bulgaria has a land area of almost 111,000 sq km (smaller than England but bigger than Scotland) and a declining human population of 7.15 million (as of 2015), 1.5 million of which live in the capital city, Sofia. It is very varied in both climate, topography and habitats. Substantial parts of the country are mountainous, particularly in the west, south-west and central ‘spine’ of the country and has the highest mountain in the Balkan Mountains (Musala peak in the Rila Mountains, 2925m) (Map 1). Almost 70% of the land area is above 200m and over 27% above 600m. About 40% of the country is forested and this is likely to increase through natural regeneration due to the abandonment of agricultural land. Following nearly 500 years under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria was independent for just a few years from 1908 before coming under the domination of the soviet communist regime in 1946.
