This is the first checklist of the genus Bracon for the territory of Serbia. Here we present 80 species of this cosmopolitan genus of the subfamily Braconinae which is one of the cyclostome braconid groups. We connected the parasitoids with their hosts where the data about them were available. There are 290 host species in total belonging to 39 families of four insect orders: Diptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera. Key words: Cyclostome Braconidae, Bracon, Serbia, checklist Introduction habitats and geographical areas (S h a w & H u d d l e s t o n , 1991). Because of their important Braconinae belongs to the cyclostome group role in biological control, biology of some species is of the family Braconidae. This subfamily assembles very well studied: for B. intercessor (van ectoparasitoid wasps which lay their eggs on the A c h t e r b e r g et al., 1990; G e o r g i e v et al., host body.

(GELECHIIDAE, LEPIDOP- TERA) IN LITHUANIA Henrikas OSTRAUSKAS Lithuanian State Plant Protection Service, Pelesos 85, 2014 Vilnius, Lithuania Abstract. During the 19972000 investigations the quarantine pest Phthorimaea operculella was not registered in Lithuania. During the studies undertaken in 19982000 Anarsia lineatella was caught in four new localities of two new districts Utena and Panevëþys. Moths belonging to 94 species from 17 families were caught with pheromone traps for P. operculella and A. lineatella, with species rare for Lithuania among them (Calybites phasianipennella, Phyllonorycter corylifoliella, Coleophora ibipennella, Scrobipalpa acuminatella, Scrobipalpa artemisiella, Ypsolopha horridella, Synanthedon myopaeformis, Pammene spiniana, Cydia lunulana, Cydia orobana, Mesapamea secalella, Hypena rostralis). As a result of the above studies the names of moths most frequently caught with A. lineatella and P. operculella pheromone traps have been elucidated. Also some new localities for the other nine moth species in Lithuania have been additionally distinguished and adduced in the present study.

  • Bon Echo Provincial Park
    BON ECHO PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Bon Echo Provincial Park in 2014 (44.89405, -77.19691 278m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 7 – September 24, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 2559 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and beetles (Coleoptera; Figure 2). In total, 547 arthropod species were named, representing 22.9% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All BINs were assigned at least to Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Bon Echo family, and 57.2% were assigned to a genus (Appendix Provincial Park in 2014. 2). Specimens collected from Bon Echo represent 223 different families and 651 genera.

  • Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia in Lepidoptera
    COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MALE GENITALIA IN LEPIDOPTERA. By DEV RAJ MEHTA, M. Sc.~ Ph. D. (Canta.b.), 'Univefsity Scholar of the Government of the Punjab, India (Department of Zoology, University of Oambridge). CONTENTS. PAGE. Introduction 197 Historical Review 199 Technique. 201 N ontenclature 201 Function • 205 Comparative Morphology 206 Conclusions in Phylogeny 257 Summary 261 Literature 1 262 INTRODUCTION. In the domains of both Morphology and Taxonomy the study' of Insect genitalia has evoked considerable interest during the past half century. Zander (1900, 1901, 1903) suggested a common structural plan for the genitalia in various orders of insects. This work stimulated further research and his conclusions were amplified by Crampton (1920) who homologized the different parts in the genitalia of Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Trichoptera Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Strepsiptera with those of more generalized insects like the Ephe­ meroptera and Thysanura. During this time the use of genitalic charac­ ters for taxonomic purposes was also realized particularly in cases where the other imaginal characters had failed to serve. In this con­ nection may be mentioned the work of Buchanan White (1876), Gosse (1883), Bethune Baker (1914), Pierce (1909, 1914, 1922) and others. Also, a comparative account of the genitalia, as a basis for the phylo­ genetic study of different insect orders, was employed by Walker (1919), Sharp and Muir (1912), Singh-Pruthi (1925) and Cole (1927), in Orthop­ tera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and the Diptera respectively. It is sur­ prising, work of this nature having been found so useful in these groups, that an important order like the Lepidoptera should have escaped careful analysis at the hands of the morphologists.

Understanding its sexual communication may lead to the development of sound- and/or semiochemical-based monitoring and management tools. Newly-eclosed females wing fan. By testing playback of recorded sounds in pheromone-baited traps, I revealed that wing fanning is not involved in long- range sexual communication.

Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
