Nat. Croat., Vol. 30, No. 1, 37–52, 2021, Zagreb. From 2016 to 2020 numerous surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the pyraloid moth fauna of Biokovo Nature Park. On August 27th, 2020 one specimen of Psorosa mediterranella (Amsel, 1954) from the family Pyralidae was collected on a small meadow (985 m a.s.l.) on Mt Biok- ovo. In this paper, the first data about the occurrence of this species in Croatia are presented. The previ- ous mention in the literature for Croatia was considered to be a misidentification of the past and has thus not been included in the checklist of Croatian pyraloid moth species. P. mediterranella was recorded for the first time in Croatia in recent investigations and, after other additions to the checklist have been counted, is the 396th species in the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna. An overview of the overall pyraloid moth fauna of Croatia is given in the updated species list.

The lepidopteran fauna of the former military training area near Oleško (Czech Republic: Ústecký Region) was studied in the year 2008. This area is on sandy ground, the predominant habitats are dry Scots pine forests growing on sand. 700 species were recorded, many of them are markedly psammophilous. Some characteristic spe- cies are very abundant there, namely on open habitats Aroga velocella (Zeller, 1839), Teleiopsis diffinis (Haworth, 1828), Platytes alpinellus (Hübner, 1813), Pyrausta ostrinalis (Hübner, 1796), Paradrina selini (Boisduval, 1840), Agrotis vestigialis (Hufnagel, 1766), Eilema pygmaeolum (Doubleday, 1847)���������������������������������������, some other species were only recorded individually (Aristotelia brizella (Treitschke, 1833), Helcystogramma lineolellum (Zeller, 1839), Pediasia fasce- linella (Hübner, 1813), Lythria cruentaria (Hufnagel, 1767) and Hadena irregularis (Hufnagel, 1766)). Elatobia fuliginosella (Lienig et Zeller, 1846), Decantha borkhausenii (Zeller, 1839), Epinotia rubiginosana (Herrich- Schäffer, 1851), Cydia conicolana (Heylaerts, 1874) -
Bugs & Beasties of the Western Rhodopes
Bugs and Beasties of the Western Rhodopes (a photoguide to some lesser-known species) by Chris Gibson and Judith Poyser [email protected] Yagodina At Honeyguide, we aim to help you experience the full range of wildlife in the places we visit. Generally we start with birds, flowers and butterflies, but we don’t ignore 'other invertebrates'. In the western Rhodopes they are just so abundant and diverse that they are one of the abiding features of the area. While simply experiencing this diversity is sufficient for some, as naturalists many of us want to know more, and in particular to be able to give names to what we see. Therein lies the problem: especially in eastern Europe, there are few books covering the invertebrates in any comprehensive way. Hence this photoguide – while in no way can this be considered an ‘eastern Chinery’, it at least provides a taster of the rich invertebrate fauna you may encounter, based on a couple of Honeyguide holidays we have led in the western Rhodopes during June. We stayed most of the time in a tight area around Yagodina, and almost anything we saw could reasonably be expected to be seen almost anywhere around there in the right habitat. Most of the photos were taken in 2014, with a few additional ones from 2012. While these creatures have found their way into the lists of the holiday reports, relatively few have been accompanied by photos. We have attempted to name the species depicted, using the available books and the vast resources of the internet, but in many cases it has not been possible to be definitive and the identifications should be treated as a ‘best fit’. -

Contributo Alla Conoscenza Della Famiglia Crambidae in Romagna (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Quaderno di Studi e Notizie di Storia Naturale della Romagna Quad. Studi Nat. Romagna, 47: 63-128 (giugno 2018) ISSN 1123-6787 Gabriele Fiumi Contributo alla conoscenza della famiglia Crambidae in Romagna (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Riassunto Questo articolo riporta i dati faunistici di 126 specie della famiglia di Crambidae viventi in Romagna. La famiglia comprende 10 sottofamiglie: Acentropinae, Crambinae, Cybalomiinae, Evergestinae, Glaphyriinae, Odontiinae, Pyraustinae, Schoenobiinae, Scopariinae, Spilomelinae. Le ricerche territoriali su questa famiglia di microlepidotteri ebbero inizio da Pietro Zangheri nel secolo scorso. Dopo 50 anni i dati, pubblicati dall’Autore nel 1969 e contenuti nel “Repertorio sistematico e topografico della flora e fauna vivente e fossile della Romagna”, vengono aggiornati e integrati con l’aggiunta di 31 specie. Abstract [A contribution to knowledge of the Crambidae of Romagna (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae)] Faunistic data on 126 species of Crambidae (Insecta, Lepidoptera) living in Romagna region (Italy). Crambidae are a family of Microlepitoptera, subdivided into ten subfamilies: Acentropinae, Crambinae, Cybalomiinae, Evergestinae, Glaphyriinae, Odontiinae, Pyraustinae, Schoenobiinae, Scopariinae and Spilomelinae. The first list of the Crambidae of Romagna was published by Pietro Zangheri in 1969. The present paper updates Zangheri’s survey after half a century, by adding 31 species. Introduction and Concluding Remarks are both in Italian and in English. Key words: Lepidoptera, Crambidae, checklist, Romagna, Italy. Introduzione I Crambidae sono una famiglia di microlepidotteri. Nella Checklist delle specie della fauna italiana (Minelli, Ruffo & La Posta, 1995), questa famiglia comprende 292 specie racchiuse in 86 generi. Recentemente due nuove specie alloctone sembrano essersi acclimatate in Romagna e quindi vengono aggiunte alla presente lista, trattasi di Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) e Spoladea recurvalis (Fabricius, 1775). -

Kok Entomology (ABSTRACT) Megacerus discoidus (Say)(Coleoptera: Bruchidae), a native North American seedfeeder, has 4 larval instars and one generation a year. Overwintering occurred in the 4th instar. Larvae fed on 40-50% of the seed content before diapause and the rest of the seed in the following spring. When more than one larvae attacked a seed, only one adult emerged because of cannibalism, which was most common among 2nd and 3rd instars. Adults oviposited mainly under the bracts of host seedpods. The life cycle of the beetle was well synchronized with the host phenology. when diapause of the insect was experimentally terminated under 20°C and 28°C, there was increased mortality and prolonged adult emergence. No adult emergence occurred when infested seeds were maintained in the dark under l0°C for 200 days. However, mortality of the larvae was significantly increased. Humidity and soil coverage of host seeds had no significant impact on the beetle mortality during diapause under field conditions. -

(Lepidoptera). Part Xxvi. Preliminary Study on the Genus Euchromius Gn
ACTA ENTOMO L OGICA MUSEI NATIONALJS PRAGAE 1 9 6 1, X X X I V, 59 7 STUDIES ON THE CRAMBIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA). PART XXVI. PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE GENUS EUCHROMIUS GN. STANIStAW BtESZYNSKI (Zoological Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Krak6w) In the present paper it is discussed the status of the genus Euchro mius Guenee 1845 and several of its members, besides some species are described as new. The genus Euchromius Gn. is one of the 1nost disordered in the family Crambidca.e as the types of many of its species have not as yet been examined. Consequently, very many synonyms have been made. The status of the name Euchromius Gn. has usually been erroneously inter- . preted and regarded as a nomen nudum or a homonym. However, some authors, e. g. Meyrick (1890, 1895), Fernald [1896) or Kloet & Hincks [1945) adopted Euchromius Gn. as a valid name. The first species of the genus under consideration was erected in 1796 by Htibner under the name Tinea bella Hbn. In 18.11 Haworth described another species Palparia ocellea Haw., congeneric with Tinea bella Hbn. The genus Palparia Haw. 1811 is very heterogeneous comprising very many species of several genera, namely, Crambus F., Agriphila Hbn., Pediasia Hbn., Catoptria Hbn., Chrysocrambus Blesz., Platytes Gn. and Ancylolomia Hbn. The genus Palparia Haw. has not been adopted for any of the mentioned genera and, it is regared as a synonym · of Crambus F. Such an opinion might be considered as not right, since only genus Crambus F. was described before Palparia Haw. and the remaining genera were erected after 1811.
