Palabras clave: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Eilema albicosta, Málaga, Andalucía, España. Abstract: New Iberian record of Eilema albicosta (Rogenhofer, 1894) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae). The first observation of the erebid moth Eilema albicosta (Rogenhofer, 1894) in the province of Málaga is reported. It represents the third record for the Iberian Peninsula. Photography of andropygium and details on the habitat of the observation site are also supplied. Key words: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Eilema albicosta, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. Recibido: 25 de octubre de 2014 Publicado on-line: 10 de noviembre de 2014 Aceptado: 29 de octubre de 2014 Hasta hace pocos años, Eilema albicosta (Rogenhofer, 1894) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) era considerada endémica de las islas Canarias, con la excepción de dos imagos recolectados por Agenjo (1963) en un pinar piñonero (Pinus pinea) de Punta Umbría (Huelva). Estos individuos se pensaba que podían provenir de un transporte accidental (Ylla et al., 2010). El reciente descubrimiento de una nueva población en El Rompido (Huelva), cercana geográficamente a la anterior, hace suponer que la especie está afincada en la costa onubense y, probablemente, extendida hasta el Algarve portugués (Citores et al., 2013). El pasado 19 de mayo de 2014, fue encontrado un imago muy volado de E. albicosta en la sierra de Mijas (Mijas, Málaga), concretamente en el cementerio municipal. Este individuo fue atraído probablemente durante la noche por las luces del alumbrado público del lugar, y capturado durante el día mientras reposaba en una pared. Posteriormente a su captura, el primer autor del presente escrito procedió a la disección, preparación y conservación del andropigio. Luego fue remitido imago y genitalia al segundo y tercer autor, quienes han determinado la especie, así como fotografiado el andropigio (Fig. 1), y quienes conservan ambas partes (R. Macià coll.). La nueva localidad de E. albicosta se encuentra ubicada en la vertiente S de la sierra de Mijas, dentro de la cuadrícula 30SUF5251 (datum ETRS89), a una altitud aproximada de 455 m. Se caracteriza por presentar, ladera arriba, una masa de densidad y altura variable de pinar joven (Pinus halepensis), en regeneración tras un incendio en 2001, y matorral variado, mientras que ladera abajo predomina un mosaico agropecuario, con zonas abancaladas de olivar (tanto en explotación como en abandono), herbazal, casas y chalés con huertos, césped y jardines. 173 Moreno-Benítez et al. (2014): Nueva cita ibérica de Eilema albicosta (Rogenhofer, 1894) (Lep.: Erebidae, Arctiinae). El presente hallazgo supone la tercera cita de la especie en la Península Ibérica, y la primera observación en la cuenca mediterránea. Esta nueva localidad dista en torno a 215 km en línea recta de la más cercana conocida en Punta Umbría (Huelva), por lo que es posible que se puedan encontrar en el futuro nuevas poblaciones, tanto entre las ya conocidas como en otros entornos costeros andaluces.

In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.

  • Ecology and Conservation of Island Interactions
    Ecology and conservation of island interactions Aarhus University Institute of Bioscience Genetics, Evolution and Ecology Supervisor Jens Mogens Olesen Master of Science Thesis by Caroline Vester Villumsen 201206150 June 2017 0 Abstract The effects of the Anthropocene are, among others, shown in the loss of biodiversity worldwide, and especially on islands. A new conservation philosophy attempting to reduce the effect of human sub- jectivity and choice is taking a holistic approach, where the entire system is in focus and not just a single species. The thermophiles forest of the Canarian island of Tenerife is an example of a human- degraded, but still species-rich ecosystem. Here, the interaction structure at the community level be- tween a set of plants and all associated taxa was analysed. The aims were to accumulate baseline knowledge for an integrated conservation of both plants and their associated diversity of animals and other plants and to evaluate the importance of plants as bottom-up drivers of local animal diversity. Eleven study plant species were associated with 381 different taxa during three months and four study localities. The drivers of the associated taxa turned out to be a diverse array of both abiotic and biotic factors. Plant morphological structure (plant architecture), size, abundance and geographic range were especially important. The dynamics in size and composition of the associated diversity between months and localities was relatively low, although proper comparisons cannot be done, because of a lack of similar studies in the literature. The obtained information can be used to focus future conser- vation management, where most information needs to be gathered at the lowest costs.

    Esperiana Buchreihe zur Entomologie Bd. 11: 93-205 Schwanfeld, 29. Juni 2005 ISBN 3-938249-01-3 Systematic List of the Noctuoidea of Europe (Notodontidae, Nolidae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae, Micronoctuidae, and Noctuidae) Michael FIBIGER and Hermann H. HACKER Superfamily NOCTUOIDEA LATREILLE, 1809 Remarks to Classification In the European List of Noctuidae (FIBIGER and HACKER, 1991) we refrained from writing a justification for subdividing the family into subfamilies and tribes. Our understanding of the classification of the family has progressed since then, but only to some extent therefore several paraphyletic or even polyphyletic groupings still remain in the Noctuidae (s.l.) and in the other families dealt with here. Most of the tribes listed here are monophyletic and we believe that most of them will stand the test of time. In groups where research is lasting, we refer to the latest knowledge available. For example the family Noctuidae has now been divided into three families, the Noctuidae, Micronoctuidae and Erebidae, these corresponding roughly to the groups previously called “quadrifid“ and “trifid“ noctuids. Ongoing research, however, suggests that the arctiid clade might be derived from within the Erebidae (WELLER and MITCHELL, pers. com.). Other important results have been published in the last 13 years, some of which are: KITCHING and RAWLINS (in KRISTENSEN, 1998); KITCHING and YELA (1999); SPEIDEL, FÄNGER and NAUMANN (1996); SPEIDEL and NAUMANN (1996); POOLE (1995, and his catalogue from 1989); the North American Moths of North America (MONA) book series: LAFONTAINE and POOLE (1991), POOLE (1995), LAFONTAINE (1998, 2004); BECK (1996, 1999, 2000); the volumes of the book series Noctuidae Europaeae (1990-2003); and many papers in Esperiana.

Although such faunistic studies were conducted extensively in the region during the first decade of the early 20th century, there are a few new taxa, taxonomic revisions, misidentifications, and misspellings, which should be documented. We examined 1,276 species in 652 genera, 59 subfamilies, and 15 families. We propose 4 new combinations, namely Arichanna refracta Inoue, 1978 stat. nov.; Psyra matsumurai Bastelberger, 1909 stat. nov.; Olene baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.; and Cerynia usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov..
