Online: http://www.zpcse.cz/entolisty/entolisty.html, 17-3-2018. Abstract. Otiorhynchus proximus proximus Stierlin, 1861 is reported from the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts as a new species for Moravia (Czech Republic). The first reliable record of Magdalis punctulata (Mulsant & Rey, 1859) is given for the same region. Key words: Coleoptera, Curculionoidea, Curculionidae, new records, faunistics, Czech Republic, Moravia ÚVOD V návaznosti na předchozí příspěvky o nových a potvrzených druzích nosatců (Curculionoidea) pro Českou republiku a Slovensko (např. Benedikt et al. 2016, 2017, Trnka et al. 2017) přinášíme další doplňky do nedávno publikovaného komentovaného seznamu druhů uvedené nadčeledi (Benedikt et al. 2010). METODIKA Prezentované nové údaje byly získány při determina- ci sbírkového materiálu M. Mantiče (Hlučín-Bobrov- níky) a studiu sbírky R. Formánka, která je uložena v Moravském zemském muzeu v Brně. Systematika a nomenklatura nadčeledi Curculionoi- dea jsou převzaty z práce Löbl & Smetana (2013). Použité zkratky: MZMB – Moravské zemské mu- zeum Brno, ex. – exemplář, pers. comm. – osobní sdělení.

Larvae feed on fruit flesh and burrow into the seed, producing large amounts of frass and causing the fruits to drop from the tree prematurely. Larval damage renders the fruits unfit for commercial sale, leading to significant economic losses. The avocado seed moth has only been recorded as feeding on members of the Lauraceae family, with Persea americana (avocado) as the major host and other secondary hosts: P. schiedeana (coyo), wild Persea spp., and Beilschmedia spp. California accounts for the majority of avocado production in the U.S., followed by Florida and Hawaii. Stenoma catenifer is a small moth with few distinguishing features Fig. 1. Dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) as an adult.

Abstract: A review of the systematics, ecology and conservation of the 13 species of the genus Coenonympha which are currently recognized from Europe is presented. The paper comprises results from allozyme electrophoretic studies in several Coenonympha species with a focus on C. glycerion. These prove that populations of the latter species from the Iberian Peninsula are genetically differentiated from Central European populations, but freely interbreed in the Pyrenees. Therefore the taxon iphioides should be regarded as a subspecies of C. glycerion.

  • Lepidoptera Rhopalocera
    Biodiversity Journal , 2015, 6 (1): 53–72 A multi-year survey of the butterflies (Lepidoptera Rhopalo - cera) of a defined area of the Triestine karst, Italy Peter F. McGrath IAP/TWAS, ICTP campus, Strada Costiera 11, 34151 Trieste, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A photographic survey of butterflies (Lepidoptera Rhopalocera) was carried out over a period of three years (2011, 2012 and 2013) in an area around the villages of Malchina, Ceroglie and Slivia, the municipality of Duino-Aurisina near Trieste, in the Friuli Venezia-Giulia region, northeast Italy. Historically, this area of the Triestine karst has been influenced by human activities. Grazing intensity, however, has declined over the past 50-100 years, leading to encroachment of the forested areas over previously more open grasslands. During the three- year survey period, sampling intensity, measured as the number of days during which butter - flies were observed and/or photographed, increased from year to year. In 2012 and 2013, especially surveys began in February and continued into December. During the three years, a total of 79 species (Papilionidae, 3; Pieridae, 11; Lycaenidae, 17, Riodinidae, 1; Nymphal- idae, 37, including 15 Satyrinae; and Hesperiidae, 10), including seven listed as either endangered or near-threatened in Europe, were identified. Among the species of European conservation value recorded were: Scolitantides orion , Melitaea aurelia , Melitaea trivia , Argynnis niobe , Hipparchia statilinus , Coenonympha oedippus and Carcharodus floccifera . Strong local populations of the following regionally threatened, declining and/or protected species were also recorded: Euphydryas aurinia , Brintesia circe , Arethusana arethusa , Hipparchia fagi , Pyronia tithonus and Coenonympha arcania .

  • Moth Species Captured with the Sex Pheromone of Stenoma Catenifer (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae) in Avocado Plantations of Southern Mexico
    Castillo et al.: Moth Species Captured with Stenoma catenifer Sex Pheromone 1111 MOTH SPECIES CAPTURED WITH THE SEX PHEROMONE OF STENOMA CATENIFER (LEPIDOPTERA: ELACHISTIDAE) IN AVOCADO PLANTATIONS OF SOUTHERN MEXICO ALFREDO CASTILLO*, LEOPOLDO CRUZ-LOPEZ AND JAIME GÓMEZ El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR), Carretera Antiguo Aeropuerto km 2.5. Tapachula, 30700 Chiapas, Mexico *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Moth species trapped using the sex pheromone of Stenoma catenifer (LaSalle) as a lure, were registered at 2 commercial avocado orchards (one consisting of “Hass” and other of “Criollo”) and in wild “Criollo” avocado trees in southern Mexico. Traps were maintained for 1 mo in two seasons (dry and wet) on avocado trees under these 3 production conditions, changing the baits each season. Weekly observations registered no moths in the traps placed in the commercial “Hass” avocado orchard, in contrast to the other 2 sites, where Stenoma cateni- fer and Antaeotricha nictitans males were captured. Stenoma catenifer adults were always observed at the commercial “Criollo” orchard and wild “Criollo” avocado trees during the dry season (fructification period), but never in the wet season (non fruiting period). Under wild conditions A. nictitans was captured during both dry and wet seasons; however, it was never captured during the dry season at the commercial “Criollo” orchard. Populations of both moth species were similar -S. catenifer: 0.3 (wild trees) to 0.7 (orchard); and A. nicti- tans: 0.6 (wild trees) moth/trap/wk- during the dry season, and no differences were observed per species at each locality. The total number of captures per site during the fruiting season decreased significantly -0.9 (1st wk) to 0.2(4th wk) moth/trap/wk- during the observation period.

Has also been recorded in Brazil and the Galápagos Islands HOSTS Avocado and other species of Laurel. DESCRIPTION Moths are light tan color, and wings are marked with numerous black spots. Adult females are about 15 mm in length (tip of head to tip of wings) when in the resting position with wings folded Adult across the dorsum. Wing span for females with forewings fully spread is around 28–30 mm in breadth. Males tend to be slightly smaller (2–3 mm shorter) than females and are similarly colored Fully grown larval length 20 – 25 mm. Body creamy white when newly emerged, becoming light rose by the 3rd instar. The dorsal side becomes violet and the ventral side, greenish blue by the Larvae 5th instar. Head light brown, turning black by the 5th instar with blackish eyespots and mandibles. Light green when first laid, oval, 0.6 by 0.4 mm with corium transparent at first then cream Eggs colored. Laid in total from 180-240. Adults are active at night. Females oviposit on either the fruit crevices or on branches near where the fruit is attached. Larvae hatch in 5-6 days and tunnel into fruit pulp, feeding on the LIFE HISTORY seeds, which may be devoured in 20 days, or young branches, twigs and stems. After 21-28 days, larvae drop to the ground to pupate. The entire life cycle lasts 44-49 days.

  • Phylogeny and Biogeography of Coenonympha Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) – Patterns of Colonization in the Holarctic
    Systematic Entomology Systematic Entomology (2009), 34, 315–323 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3113.2008.00453.x Phylogeny and biogeography of Coenonympha butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) – patterns of colonization in the Holarctic ULLASA KODANDARAMAIAH1 andNIKLAS WAHLBERG1,2 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden and 2Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland Abstract. We studied the historical biogeography of a group of butterflies in the Holarctic region belonging to the genus Coenonympha (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae: Coenonymphina), based on a phylogenetic hypothesis estimated from three genes. The genus is distributed mainly in the Palaearctic region, with two species extending into the Nearctic region. The tree is generally well supported and shows that Coenonympha is paraphyletic with respect to Lyela (syn.n.) and Triphysa (syn.n.), and we hence synonymize the latter two with Coenonympha. Within Coenonympha we identify three species groups, the tullia, glycerion and hero groups. The North American tullia exemplars are not sister to the Eurasian ones. A DIVA analysis indicates that the ancestor of the group was present in the Central Palaearctic or Central Palaeartic þ Western Palaearctic or Central Palaearctic þ Eastern Palaearctic. We conclude that the most likely origin of extant members of Coenonympha was in the Central Asian mountains. The tullia and hero groups started diverging in Europe following dispersal into the region. There have been two independent colonizations into Africa. The drying up of the Mediterranean during the Messinian period probably played an important role, allowing colonization into the Mediterranean islands and Africa. Introduction examples include Euphydryas (Nymphalidae; Zimmermann et al., 2000), Pararge (Nymphalidae; Weingartner et al., The inference of the origins and spatio-temporal dynamics 2006) and Parnassiinae (Papilionidae; Nazari et al., 2007).

Porter (•), Robert W. Schneider & Brad A. Price Biology Department, Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, OH 43403-0212, USA Summary The butterflies Coenonympha gardetta, C. darwiniana and C. arcania are closely related and have parapatric distributions. We studied wing pattern and allozyme variation in three sample sites near Bellwald in Canton Valais, Switzerland in an area where C. gardetta and C. darwiniana meet, and in a C. arcania population from northern Italy. Principal component analysis identified traits that separated the C. arcania population, but separate taxo- nomic groups could not be distinguished in the Bellwald region even when C arcania was dropped from the analysis. Allozyme data showed high poly- morphism characteristic of other Coenonympha populations, and also sepa- rated the C. arcania population. F-statistics revealed that the sampled popu- lations at Bellwald, even though separated by up to 2 km, are probably sub- sites within a single large, demographic population. We believe C. gardetta and C. darwiniana should be considered conspecific ; C. gardetta is the older name. C. arcania should provisionally be kept distinct taxonomically, but closer study of contact regions between C. gardetta and C. arcania are required to rule out mere isolation by distance as the reason for the observed level of differentiation.

  • High Altitude Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) of Tsaghkunyatc Mountains in Armenia and Their Diversity Along the Altitudinal Gradient Noushig A
    International Journal For Research In Applied And Natural Science ISSN: 2208-2085 High Altitude Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) Of Tsaghkunyatc mountains In Armenia and their diversity along the altitudinal gradient Noushig A. Zarikian, Hasmik G. Khachatryan & Mark Yu. Kalashyan Scientific Center of Zoology and Hydroecology, National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. P. Sevak Street 7, 0014, Yerevan, Armenia. Tel.: +374-77374784, Email: [email protected] Abstract This study tries to link the butterfly species diveristy along the altitudinal span of Tsaghkunyatc mountain in Armenia. Butterflies were collected from March to October 2015- 2017. A checklist of 129 species is given and their abundances/diversity was calculated for 10 altitudinal zones. This revealed that the relationship between the observed numbers and abundance of butterfly species and and altitude follows hump-shaped curve – i.e the highest diversity in the mid elevation. A significant relationship was recorded between the altitude and the species richness and abundance and the relation followed the usual hump-shaped curve. However, the diversity and evenness indexes did not follow the hump-shaped pattern, but yielded a semi-constant relation with altitude. This could be explained by the existence of several species that typicaly found only on the highest altitudes. These results could be applied for habitat management in general and especially for planning of Protected Areas in this region. Keywords: Abundance, Armenia, evenness, Diversity, Papilionoidea, Species richness. Introduction The mountain masses are initially characterized, with individual unique physical parameters that vary along altitudinal gradients inquired in isolation and combination. The responses of butterflies to these gradients, either directly or through their host plant, are discussed at the levels of the individual and sometimes population and community (Mani 1990).
