Entomofauna carpathica, 2018, 30(1): 45-52 A NEW SPECIES OF THE LYGEPHILA VICIOIDES (HAMPSON, 1926) SPECIES-GROUP FROM NEPAL (LEPIDOPTERA, EREBIDAE, TOXOCAMPINAE) Oleg PEKARSKY H-1068, Budapest, Felsőerdősor u. 16-18, Hungary; e-mail: [email protected] PEKARSKY, O. 2018. A new species of the Lygephila vicioides (Hampson, 1926) species- group from Nepal (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Toxocampinae). Entomofauna carpathica, 30(1): 45-52. Abstract: A new species of the Lygephila vicioides (Hampson, 1926) species-group, L. pidmanulapidvela sp. n. (Nepal), is described. A diagnostic comparison is made with L. vicioides. The male genitalia of the holotype of L. vicioides, the male genitalia of the holotype of Lygephila robusta Babics & Ronkay, 2009 are illustrated for the first time; the female genitalia of L. vicioides are correctly illustrated for the first time. The comparison of the holotypes of L. vicioides and L. robusta revealed their conspecificity, therefore L. robusta is treated here as synonym of L. vicioides, syn. n. Key words: Erebidae, Toxocampinae, Lygephila, Lygephila vicioides species-group, new synonymy, new species, Nepal INTRODUCTION Present paper is a continuation of the series of articles dealing with the taxonomy of the genus Lygephila started by the author in 2013 (PEKARSKY 2013, 2014, 2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2016d and 2017). The detailed study of the L. vicioides (Hampson, 1926) lineage revealed the fact that the type series of L. robusta comprised two closely related species. The study of the holotype of L. robusta undoubtedly pointed out the conspecificity of this specimen with the holotype of L. vicioides and a number of L. vicioides specimens were found within the paratypes of L. robusta. Thus, L. robusta should be considered as synonymous with L. vicioides while the second, apparently unnamed, species is to be described. It is important to note, that the description of L. robusta refers in fact to the species distinct from L. vicioides but the erroneous designation of the holotype led to this situation which should be clarified. The L. vicioides species-group comprises, therefore, the following species: L. vicioides (Hampson, 1926) (= robusta Babics & Ronkay, 2009, syn. n.); Lygephila fibigeri Babics & Stüning, 2011 and L. pidmanulapidvela sp. n. 45 Entomofauna carpathica, 2018, 30(1): 45-52 Abbreviations: BMNH (NHMUK) — The Natural History Museum (formerly British Museum, Natural History; London, United Kingdom); GR — Gábor Ronkay (Budapest, Hungary); HNHM — Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (Hungary); JB — Janos Babics (Budapest, Hungary); LG — Gyula M.

L. pidmanulapidvela differs from L. vicioides by its less developed, sometimes obsolescent antemedial line and darker, in most specimens continuously dark coloured costa (Figs 1–4). In male genitalia, L. pidmanulapidvela (Figs 11–14) is closest to L. vicioides (Figs 15–18) but differs from it by the uncus curved in the middle, the wider and more massive valva with obtuse apex, the thicker and slightly curved clasper/harpe with blunt tip and the undulate aedeagus whereas the uncus in L. vicioides is curved at base, the valva is narrower with its apex tapered, the clasper/harpe is less curved having pointed tip, and the aedeagus is bent medially. In the females, the antrum of L. pidmanulapidvela is less incised (one third of the antrum length), this incision in L. vicioides is wider and deeper (ca half of the antrum length). Description. Wingspan 34–38 mm. Dorsal part of head (equilateral triangle area under collar over frons and eyes) and collar black; frons and body greyish- brown irrorated with black scales. Forewing greyish-brown with sparse dark brown irroration; crosslines indistinct or hardly traceable; postmedial line visible forming triangle apical patch on costa; orbicular stigma as small white dot; reniform stigma reduced to an inverse checkmark with small inner streak. 46 Entomofauna carpathica, 2018, 30(1): 45-52 Figures 1-10.

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.

    CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)

    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.

D. Kravchenko, A.-L.-L. Friedman & G. C. Müller Abstract The Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ridges are located in the middle of a narrow “Mediterranean ecozone” corridor stretching along the Levantine coast. Both ridges are high enough to feature a complete range of altitude zones, which includes an alpine tragacanth belt (> 2000 m a.s.l.). The southernmost part of the Anti-Lebanon ridge is situated in the northernmost part of Israel. Among the 548 Israeli Noctuidae species, 106 species (21%) occur only in this small mountainous area. Among them, 17 are endemic and the populations of the remaining 89 species are at the edge of their distribution range.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

Noctuoidea are the largest superfamily of Lepidoptera which have not yet fully investigated in Iran. In order to inventories such important group, faunistic studies on the families Erebidae, Nolidae and Euteliidae were made by light traps mainly in the three Iranian provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and Khorasan-e-Razavi during 2009-2011. Totally, 42 taxa belonging to 26 genera and 7 subfamilies were collected. Among these, one species – Drasteria kusnezovi (John, 1910) – is newly reported for the Iranian fauna, together with 23 new provincial records. For all species, illustrations of adults and their genitalia are given with remarks. KEY WORDS: fauna, Noctuoidea, new record, Drasteria, distribution.

November 2014 ISBN 978-3-938249-06-2 Collection records of Noctuoidea and Bombycoidea (Lepidoptera) from a Location near Marmaris in South-Western Anatolia, Turkey Thomas BARON Key Words: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Western Anatolia, Turkey Stichworte: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Westanatolien, Türkei Deutsche Zusammenfassung Der Artikel fasst die Fangergebnisse des Autors in Turunç zusammen, einem kleinen Urlaubsort am Mittelmeer nahe Mar- maris in der Südwesttürkei. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind die taxonomischen Gruppen Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Drepanoidea und Axioidea. Die Fänge erfolgten überwiegend am Licht. Diese Region der Türkei ist trotz leichter Erreichbarkeit erstaunlich schlecht erforscht. Es gibt für die Provinz Mugla bisher fast keine Daten für Nachtfalterfänge. Die Untersuchung fand über alle Jahreszeiten und an insgesamt 456 Tagen statt. Es wurde anhand der insgesamt über 4400 registrierten Individuen eine grobe Klassifizierung der Häufigkeit vorgenommen. Insgesamt konnten 168 Arten festgestellt werden. Die Zahl von Arten, die trotz derart langer Anstrengungen nur einmal festgestellt wurden, ist mit 25 relativ hoch. Es daher zu erwarten, dass einige weitere hier nicht aufgeführte Arten vorkommen. Für eine Reihe der festgestellten Spezies existieren bisher nur wenige Nachweise aus der Türkei. Eine Art ist neu für das Land. Weiterhin kann bei einigen nahverwandten Arten ein Beitrag zur Klärung von Verbreitungsgrenzen geleistet werden, die z.T. gerade in Kleinasien unklar sind. Durch das vor allem in Sommer extrem heisse und trockene Klima und den milden Winter fliegen einige Arten früher als bekannt. Viele hingegen fliegen später in den Herbst und Winter hinein, so dass eine ganze Reihe von in der Literatur nicht bekannten Flugzeiten aufgezeigt werden kann.

ZooKeys 452: 107–129. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.452.8152 Abstract The taxa of the Lygephila lubrica (Freyer, 1846) species complex are revised. The genital features of all known taxa are described and illustrated, with special reference to the structure of the vesica. Genitalia of L. lubrica from different places in Russia, Central Asia and China are studied, illustrated and compared with different Mongolian populations. L. kazachkaratavika, described as a subspecies, is raised to a species level, stat. n. Neotypes of Lygephila lubrosa (Staudinger, 1901), L. lubrosa kazachkaratavika Stshetkin YuL & Stshetkin YuYu, 1994 [1997] and L. lubrosa orbonaria Stshetkin YuL & Stshetkin YuYu, 1994 [1997] are designated. The female genitalia of the type of L. lupina (Graeser, 1890) is described and illustrated for the first time, and L. mirabilis (Bryk, 1948) treated here as a junior subjective synonym, syn.
