D ubatolov * (Nyctemerini by Rob de V os & V ladimir V D ubatolov ) received 7.V2010 Introduction: Tiger-moths (Arctiinae) are one of the best studied moth subfamilies in the world. The catalogues of the American (F ranclemont , 1983; F erguson & O pler , 2007; Watson & G oodger , 1986), African (G oodger & Watson , 1995) and Australian (Edwards , 1996) species were published during the last 30 years. Nevertheless, there are no such lists for the Palearctic and Oriental tiger-moths till now. However, some vast territories of these zoogeographical regions have been studied well enough. They are: Western Europe and North-West Africa (de Freina & W itt, 1987), the territory of the former USSR (Russia and the neighboring countries) (D ubatolov , 1996d; M urzin , 2003) and China (Fang , 1982b, 1985,2000). Only few countries, neighboring to the former USSR, have been studied carefully, they are: Turkey (de F reina , 1979, 1981, 1983, 1999a), Iraq (W iltshire , 1957), Iran (D ubato ­ lov , Z ahiri , 2005; de F reina , 2007), Korea (Bryk , 1949; K ishida & Inomata , 1981; W itt, 1980b, 1985; N am , 1985; P rzybylowicz , Park , 2001; C hoi, 2004), Japan (Inoue , 1982). Information about tiger-moths from some countries was diffused in many small articles; such countries are: Afghanistan (Kotzsch , 1939; W iltshire , 1961; D aniel , 1965b, 1966, 1971; Lenek , 1966; E bert , 1973, 1974; Bender & N aumann , 1980; de Freina , 1982; T homas , 1984), Mongolia (Staudinger , 1895, 1897; Staudinger & Rebel, 1900; A. Bang -H aas , 1912; D aniel , 1965a, 1967,1968,1970a; A lberti , 1971; G rosser , 1982; D ubatolov , 1982,1990c, 2004a; Zo­ lotuhin , 1994). The Indian subcontinent and Indochina are less studied. After a comprehensive study by English lepidopterologists (C otes & Swinhoe , 1887; H ampson , 1893, 1894, 1901, 1910, 1920), many of later new taxa descriptions and geographical reviews by Indian and Pakistan specialists (like N argis V iqar , 2004) look to introduce synonyms or contain incorrect determinations. The most careful studies concerning tiger-moths are following: reviews by A rora & C haudhury (1982) on Arunachal Pradesh and A r - ora (1983) on Andaman and Nicobar Islands. On the other hand, a nice series concerning moths of Nepal, with Arctiinae part by K ishida (1992,1994b, 1995,1998), looks to be a careful study, although it contains few incorrect determinations. Tiger-moths from Indochina are still poorly studied (C andeze , 1927), only the work by C erny & P inratana (2009) about Thailand is best qualitative. Arctiinae from different Sundaland islands were studied unevenly, but the most careful and useful is the work by H olloway (1988) on the tiger-moths of Borneo. There are many articles concerning Sumatra, Java, Lesser Sundaland, but they contain only new spe­ cies descriptions or generic reviews. The Philippines are also not comprehensively studied, the monograph on Lepidoptera of this country (Semper , 1899) is too old, and all modem articles contain new descriptions only. The most correct information concerning distribution of some Oriental tiger-moths is provided in articles by de V os (2002, 2007; de Vos & C erny , 1999) but it concerns only Nyctemerini species. The best atlases with color figures of the tiger-moth from Eurasia are: H ampson (1901, 1920), Seitz (1910, 1915), Rothschild (1914), D raudt (1931), de F reina & W itt (1987), M urzin (2003), Kishida (2004a, 2004b, 2008). The following Catalogue contains the full species check-list of tiger-moths from Eurasia (within the Palearctic and Oriental Zoo- geographical Regions, excluding Africa, as well as its Palearctic part), west of the Wallace Line. I added taxa from Lesser Sundaland situated east of this line (Lombok, Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa), because they are well studied. On the other hand, I did not included all taxa from Sulawesi, Moluccas and New Guinea since tiger-moths from these islands are not enough studied yet. Occasionally introduced species are not included unless permanent populations have been formed. Synonymy and all taxa based on extraeurasi- an material are not included into this Catalogue. Infrasubspecific names are also not cited; only few of them are mentioned if later they were transformed into subspecific names. The Nyctemerini part is prepared together with Rob de V os. Information of geographical distribution was taken mainly from original descriptions and reviews mentioned above, other records are marked. The system of the subfamily is mainly original, first published only in Russian (D ubatolov , 1990c , 1996d). M urzin (2003) accepted this system. The order of genera in this Catalogue was based on phylogenetic studies (Jacobson , Weller , 2002; D a C osta , Weller , 2005; D ubatolov , 2006a, 2007a, 2008b, 2009). The distributional maps are based on vast tiger-moth data that I obtained during my life, mainly on collections of the Zoological Institute (St.-Petersburg, Russia), Siberian Zoological Museum of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals (Novo­ sibirsk, Russia), the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University (Moscow, Russia), the Institute of Biology and Pedology (Vladivostok, Russia), the Yakutian Institute of Biology (Yakutsk, Sakha-Yakutia, Russia), the Zoological Museum of Kiev State University (Kiev, Ukraine), many private collections, and from various literature.

Merr) is reported for the first time. Larvae of this species were found consuming soybean leaves in soybean fields in Córdoba province, Argentina, and were able to complete their life cycle. Characteristics of adults and larvae are provided for rapid identification in the field. Due to the widespread distribution of this species within the region where soybean is more intensively cultivated in South America, we conclude that D. sacrifica is a potential soybean pest. Further studies on infestation frequency, damage levels and control by natural enemies are needed. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiidae, Dysschema sacrifica , soybean, pest, Argentina.

    Long-Term Changes to the Frequency of Occurrence of British Moths Are Consistent with Opposing and Synergistic Effects of Climate and Land-Use Changes

    Journal of Applied Ecology 2014, 51, 949–957 doi: 10.1111/1365-2664.12256 Long-term changes to the frequency of occurrence of British moths are consistent with opposing and synergistic effects of climate and land-use changes Richard Fox1*, Tom H.

Species’ distributions are likely to be affected by a combination of environmental drivers. We used a data set of 11 million species occurrence records over the period 1970–2010 to assess changes in the frequency of occurrence of 673 macro-moth species in Great Britain. Groups of species with different predicted sensitivities showed divergent trends, which we interpret in the context of land-use and climatic changes. 2. A diversity of responses was revealed: 260 moth species declined significantly, whereas 160 increased significantly. Overall, frequencies of occurrence declined, mirroring trends in less species-rich, yet more intensively studied taxa. 3. Geographically widespread species, which were predicted to be more sensitive to land use than to climate change, declined significantly in southern Britain, where the cover of urban and arable land has increased. 4. Moths associated with low nitrogen and open environments (based on their larval host plant characteristics) declined most strongly, which is also consistent with a land-use change explanation. 5. Some moths that reach their northern (leading edge) range limit in southern Britain increased, whereas species restricted to northern Britain (trailing edge) declined significantly, consistent with a climate change explanation.
