FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK Volume 74 2013 pp. 147–156 Data to the Lepidoptera fauna of Mongolia: report on a high summer trip in 2010 B. Benedek1 & Zs. Bálint2 1H-2045 Törökbálint, Árpád u. 53, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Faunistical data of 154 species representing six families of three superfamilies (Hes- perioidea, Noctuoidea and Papilionoidea) of Lepidoptera are given from Mongolia as the result of a trip carried out in 2010. A list of 18 collecting events is also given. Every collecting site is briefl y characterised and supplemented by the list of Lepidoptera recorded. Cucullia marci Ronkay et Ronkay, 1988 and Meganephra retinea Ronkay et Gyulai, 1999 with faunistical interest are re- marked. With 4 fi gures. Key words – faunistics, Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Mongolia, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Papilioni- dae, Pieridae INTRODUCTION Th e aim of this paper is to present new faunistical data to the knowledge of Lepidoptera inhabiting the southeastern part of Mongolia. Although the papil- ionoid and hesperioid fauna of the country has been monographed just recently (Tshikolovets et al. 2009), it is obvious from the list of localities provided by the mentioned monograph, that the southernmost and easternmost parts of the country are far less explored than the rest, justifying the present contribution. In addition, the taxonomic studies on various noctuid groups revealing large di- versity in the Palearctic region just have been started. Th e results are aimed to be published in various research articles, and in the book series of Esperiana and Th e Witt Catalogue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Th e collecting trip was carried out between 28 July and 23 August 2010 with the goal to visit the arid and semiarid regions in southeastern Mongolia. Logistics Folia ent. hung. 74, 2013 148 B. Benedek & Zs. Bálint were provided by local people. Th e collecting events and methods used were re- corded in situ with special regard to vegetation and weather conditions. Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates were recorded using Garmin equipment. Th e collecting sites and living organisms (insects and plants) have been photo- graphed using a Finepix digital camera. Diurnal lepidopterans were collected by traditional singling methods using a butterfl y net. Before sunset and at dawn deeper lying places were scanned for lycaenids assembling in groups for the coming night and collected using killing jars. Moths were sampled at light every night using white sheet illuminated by 125 W HgLi mercury bulb or/plus were collected by fi ve semi-automatic portable light traps with 8 and 20 W black-light or ultraviolet tubes. When weather con- ditions allowed, moths were also collected by sugar roping. Specimens were ar- ranged on cotton layers with indication to the site aft er the collecting event still in the fi eld, then pinned, set, labelled and inventoried in the laboratory in Hungary. Th e localities are listed in chronological order as they appear on the labels. A brief characterisation of the place and weather conditions during the event is given. Before each entry, the material collected is listed according to families, placed in alphabetical sequence. Th e species are listed according to their respec- tive families, with the indication to the individual size of the sample. Th e nomenclature of papilionoid and hesperioid Lepidoptera follows Tshikolovets et al. (2009), the noctuids aft er Fibiger & Hacker (1991). Identifi cation of undescribed noctuid taxa indicated as “sp.” is based with per- sonal consultation with László Ronkay (Hungarian Natural History Museum), expert of Noctuidae. Th e following abbreviations are used: f = female, m = male. LIST OF LOCALITIES WITH FAUNISTICAL RECORDS 1.

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.

    Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) Юго-Восточного Алтая Бубнова Т.В

    ЭКОЛОГО-ГЕОГРАФИЧЕСКАЯ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ФАУНЫ СОВОК (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE) ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНОГО АЛТАЯ Бубнова Т.В. На основании оригинальных материалов и литературных данных приводятся сведения о видовом разнообразии, экологических особенностях и географическом распространении совок юго-восточной части Алтая. Выделены основные подсемейства этих чешуекрылых и их количественный состав. ВВЕДЕНИЕ Начало изучения совок на Алтае положено работами профессора Э.А. Эверсманна [1-2], который длительное время занимался исследованием фауны сибирских чешуекрылых. В дальнейшем Ю. Ледерер, М. Суворцев, А.А. Мейнгард, С.М. Чугунов, С.Д. Лавров [3-8] и другие авторы привели дополнительные факты по фауне чешуекрылых (в основном только списки видов) из отдельных мест гор Южной Сибири. Для Алтая в этих списках указывается около 240 видов совок. Более детальное исследование ноктуидофауны Алтая началось в 60-70-е годы прошлого века энтомологами Биологического института СО АН СССР (ныне Института систематики и экологии животных СО РАН), а затем сотрудниками Горно-Алтайского государственного университета (в то время Педагогического института) и другими лицами. Результаты этих исследований, в частности по Юго-Восточному Алтаю, отражены в ряде публикаций [9-20]. Однако до сих пор нет полной сводки по фауне и экологии совок данного района, что и послужило целью настоящей работы. МАТЕРИАЛ И МЕТОДЫ Полевые сборы и наблюдения, положенные в основу предлагаемого сообщения, проводились нами в 1985-1987 гг., 1998-2009 гг. в Курайской и Чуйской котловинах, на юго- западном макросклоне Курайского, отрогах Северо-Чуйского и Южно-Чуйского хребтов, окружающих эти котловины, на плоскогорье Укок, в окрестностях Тархатинского озера и в бассейне р. Джазатор. Сбор материала и его количественная обработка осуществлялись по общепринятой методике [21-23]. Автор выражает искреннюю благодарность доцентам ГАГУ Н.П.

The Noctuidae Anthracia ephialtes (Hübner, [1822]) is reported from Catalonia for the first time. Records of some other interesting species of Noctuidae are also given. Resum. Es dóna compte de la troballa a Catalunya del noctuid Anthracia ephialtes (Hübner, [1822]) i se citen altres espècies de noctuids interessants. Key words: Anthracia ephialtes, Noctuidae, faunistics, Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula. Introducció Aquest any, igual que els anteriors, hem seguit prospectant la comarca del Pallars Jus- sà, ampliant una mica el radi d’acció per evitar capturar sempre les mateixes espècies. Dos indrets que fins ara havien estat visitats tan sols de forma esporàdica s’han revelat prometedors: Santa Engràcia (31TCG27, 1.040 m), a prop de Tremp, la capital de la comarca, i Cellers (31TCG25, 400 m), al peu de l’embassament del mateix nom. Aquest embassament, després de molts anys d’existència, ha permès que es desenvolu- pés a la seva riba vegetació d’aiguamoll, que ha atret una fauna palustre molt diversa, tant ornitològica com entomològica. A més de les citacions del Pallars Jussà, se n’inclouen altres d’interessants provi- nents de diferents localitats, en particular d’una excursió feta a Castellar de n’Hug amb els companys A.

    Errata and First Update to the 2010 Checklist of the Lepidoptera Of

    Errata and first uppppdate to the 2010 checklist of the Lepidoptera of Alberta Gregory R. Pohl, Jason J Dombroskie, Jean‐François Landry, Charles D Bird, and Vazrick Nazari lead author contact: [email protected] Introduction: Since the Annotated list of the Lepidoptera of Alberta was published in March 2010 (Pohl et al. 2010), a few typographical and nomenclatural errors have come to the authors' attention, as well as three erroneous AB records that were inadvertently omitted from that publication. Additionally, a considerable number of new AB species records have been brought to our attention since that checklist went to press. As expected, most are microlepidoptera. We detail all these items below, in what we hope will be a regular series of addenda to the AB list. If you are aware of further errors or additions to the AB Lepidoptera list, please contact the authors. Wit hin the NidNoctuoidea, there are a few minor iiiinconsistencies in the order of species wihiithin genera, and in the order of genera within tribes or subtribes, as compared to the sequence published by Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010). As well, the sequence of tribes in the AB list does not exactly match that of Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010), particularly in the Erebinae. We are not detailing those minor differences here unless they involve a move to a new genus or new higher taxonomic category. Errata: Abstract, p. 2, line 10, should read "1530... annotations are given" 41 Nemapogon granella (p. 55). Add Kearfott (1905) to the AB literature records. 78 Caloptilia syringella (p. 60). This species should be placed in the genus Gracillaria as per De Prins & De Prins (2005).

On the night of August 20-21 1985 a mass migrati<tl of Aungrapha mandarina (Frcver 1846) was observed along the coast-line of Uppland in central Sweden. Autographa mandarina has made a strong expansion in NW Europe during the last 15 years, and the species seems to con- tinue its effort in this direction, On this occasion it was possible to trace the flight path aEd the possible origin of thc invading moths. According to the trajectories and local information, we assume that thcv came from the Vitebsk area in Western USSR and made their 750 km journev in approximately .18 hours, flying non-stop.

    The Apparent Influence of Climatic Change on Recent Changes of Range by European Insects (Lepidoptera, Orthoptera)

    The apparent influence of climatic change on recent changes of range by European insects (Lepidoptera, Orthoptera) John F. Burton Abstract For several years I have been collecting data concerning changes in the ranges of European insects, especially Lepidoptera and Orthoptera. The vast majority of those species which have altered their ran- ges since 1850 have spread to the north, north-west or west (e.g. 96% of the Lepidoptera expanding their ranges). Of the smaller number of species where the range has contracted, the majority (e.g. 75% of the Lepidoptera) have retreated southwards, south-westwards or south-eastwards. I have attempted to correlate these range changes with the main climatic fluctuations from 1850 to the present. Throughout this long period of predominately warming climate in Europe, those insect spe- cies which have been expanding their ranges have done so in steadily increasing numbers, especially since 1975, thus coinciding with the marked increase in temperatures worldwide associated with the anthropogenic greenhouse effect. Key words: climate change, range change, Europe, insects, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, greenhouse effect.

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.
