(LEPIDOPTERA - NOCTUIDAE) DANNOSA IN PUGLIA (Studi del Gruppo di lavoro del C.N.R. per la lotta integrata contro i nemici animali delle piante: CLXXII) Nel marzo 1977 in un campo di veccia (Vicia sativa L.) in agro di Ceglie (BA), avente una superficie di circa 2 ha e condotto a scopo sperimentale dal­ l'Istituto di Agronomia dell'Università di Bari, si è verificato un grave attacco da parte di larve di un Lepidottero Nottuide, risultato poi essere la Euxoa temera Hb. La gravità dell'attacco a causa dell'elevato numero di larve presenti (anche 7-10 per pianta) e la constatazione che le larve stesse stavano arrecando seri danni anche alle colture di patata e di pisello nelle aree adiacenti al campo di veccia, hanno fatto ritenere questa specie abbastanza preoccupante ed il caso degno di particolare studio. Perciò sono stati raccolti dati sulla biologia dell'insetto, sono stati sperimentati vari insetticidi per provarne l'efficacia in interventi di lotta ed è stata anche studiata la morfologia di quelle parti del­ l'adulto e della larva che hanno maggiore importanza tassonomica, essendo la Euxoa temera Hb. spesso confusa con la congenere obelisca Schifi.

Stuttgart, 15. 9. 1997 New or interesting Records of Tachinidae (Diptera) from the Iberian Peninsula By Hans-Peter Tschorsnig, Stuttgart; Stig Andersen, Kobenhavn & Javier Blasco-Zumeta, Zaragoza Summary Data are provided for the distribution and phenology of 374 species of tachinids collected by the authors and several other collectors from the Iberian Peninsula. 81 species are recorded from the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. Most of the other records dealt with are new at the provincial level for Spain or Portugal. This paper is a supplement to the preliminary checklist of Tschorsnig (1992). It also includes recent records from the literature.

BER., AMST. 58(9): 165-200. Abstract: A checklist of the Dutch tachinid flies is presented, based on a re-examination of all available material. Altogether 316 species are listed for The Netherlands, of which 111 are recorded here for the first time. Weegschaalstraat 207, 7521 CH Enschede, The Netherlands.
