  • Coleoptera and Lepidoptera (Insecta) Diversity in the Central Part of Sredna Gora Mountains (Bulgaria)

Despite the proximity of Sredna Gora Mountains to Sofia, the insect assemblages of this region are poorly studied. As a result of two studies carried out as a part of an Environmental Impact Assessment in the Natura 2000 Protected Areas: Sredna Gora and Popintsi, a rich diversity of insects was discovered, with 107 saproxylic and epigeobiont Coleoptera species and 355 Lepidoptera species recorded. This research was conducted during a short one-season field study in the surrounding areas of the town of Panagyurishte and Oborishte Village. Special attention was paid to protected species and their conservation status. Of the Coleoptera recorded, 22 species were of conservation significance. Forty-five Lepidoptera species of conservation importance were also recorded. KEY WORDS.WORDS.

Marin et compagnon d'Ulysse à son retour de la guerre de Troie, Elpenor (en grec Ἐλπήνορος , « homme de l'espoir ») est de ceux qui, sur l'île d'Aenea, furent victimes de la magicienne Circé et transformés en pourceaux jusqu'à ce qu'Ulysse, qui avait été préservé des enchantements de la magicienne grâce à une herbe offerte par le dieu Hermès, la contraigne à redonner à ses compagnons leur forme humaine. Lors de la fête qui s’ensuivit, Elpenor, pris de boisson, s'endormit sur la terrasse de la demeure de Circé, et, réveillé en sursaut, se tua en tombant du toit. Lorsqu'il descendit aux Enfers pour consulter le devin Tirésias, Ulysse croisa l’ombre de son défunt compagnon, à laquelle il promit une sépulture honorable.

  • Instructions for Field Inventory of Fauna
    Instructions for Field Inventory of Fauna Listed under Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC Annexes Introduction Aim of the following instructions is to provide guidance for field inventory of animal species in Montenegro listed under the annexes of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC, especially those of Annex II, which are subject of designation of the Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) ref. Article 3 of the Directive. The list of target animal species for the field inventory in Montenegro is included in Appendix 1 and is based on the national reference list of Habitats Directive species for Montenegro prepared in the framework of the project „Serbia, Montenegro and Natura 2000: Strengthening the Capacity of Governments and Civil Sector to Adapt to EU Nature Protection Acquis“. The instructions do not provide guidance on the field techniques to be used to determine/record presence of the particular species or taxonomical groups. Selection of appropriate field methods as well as acquisition of necessary permits for field research (eg. when the research is carried out in protected areas) from national or other authorities are solely within the remit of the researcher. Definition of mapping object Aim of the field inventory of fauna is to deliver reliable and up-to-date information about the distribution of target species in Montenegro, status of their population and habitats, through mapping of their localities of occurrence. As a species locality, a distinguishable part of the landscape can be considered, usually delimited by natural borders such as a meadow, a forest fragment or section, a river section, a river valley etc.

In Romania, up till now, it was reported only from Banat, Crișana, Satu Mare county, Transylvania and southern Dobruja. A male attracted by a light trap installed near Olteni, Dâmbovița county, in mid-October 2018, has scored the first record of this species in Muntenia. Afterwards, larvae have been found in the same place, confirming the first, adult- based finding. Keywords threatened species, faunistic note, first record, distribution. The Eastern eggar,Eriogaster catax (Linnaeus, 1758), is a moth of the family La- siocampidae Harris, 1841, largely distributed in the western Palaearctic region. In Europe, its range stretches from northern Spain, France, Belgium and the Nether- lands to Ukraine and southern Russia to the Ural Mountains.
