The paper presents data regarding endemic Macrolepidoptera subspecies preserved in the Entomological Collections of Natural History Museum from Sibiu. 22 endemic subspecies are recorded and represented by 382 specimens in the Entomological Collection. Most of the specimens have been collected from mountain habitats, especially from Southern and Western Carpathians. The results of this paper contribute to the improvement of the existing data concerning the distribution and outline the areas of Macrolepidoptera’s endemism in Romania. Résumé. Le document présente des données concernant les sous-espèces endémiques des Macrolépidoptères conservées dans les collections entomologiques du Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de Sibiu. 22 sous-espèces endémiques sont enregistrées et représentées par 382 spécimens dans la collection entomologique. La plupart des spécimens ont été recueillis dans les habitats de montagne, en particulier du Sud et l’Ouest des Carpates. Les résultats de cette étude contribuent à compléter les données existantes concernant la distribution et de définir les zones d’endémisme des Macrolépidoptères en Roumanie. Key words: Macrolepidoptera, endemic taxa, geographic distribution, museum collections. INTRODUCTION In this paper, the authors wish to present the endemic taxa from the Natural History Museum from Sibiu. The term endemic is used for taxa that are unique to a geographic location. This geographic location can be either relatively large or very small (Gaston & Spicer, 1998; Kenyeres et al., 2009).

  • General Notes
    230 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY GENERAL NOTES A SURVEY OF THE SPHINGIDAE OF SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA Sanibel Island, which lies ca. 3 mi. off the coast of Florida at FOlt Myers, is one of a series of islands that form a chain reaching from north of Charlotte Harbor to slightly south of the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. The island, which is roughly 12 mi. long by 3 mi. wide at its widest point, is currently suffering considerable habitat destruction from commercial development. However, large areas of relatively unspoiled land still remain. A survey was conducted to obtain data on the Sphingidae of Sanibel Island, inclading the relative abundance and feeding behavior of each species. The recent rapid commercial development of much of the island makes these data, obtained before this latest and largest wave of habitat destruction, especially important. METHODS Two methods of data collection were utilized in making this survey. The pri­ mary method involved observing and collecting specimens as they fed at flowers (mainly sea periwinkle, Vinca rosea), and collecting at lights was used as a sec­ ondary method. Three major sites were used in the primary method. Two of these sites were large open areas, largely covered with V. msea. Both of these sites were within 300 yd. of the Gulf of Mexico but were surrounded by large trees so that ocean breezes, which would influence feeding behavior, were negligible. The third site was farther inland. This site was partially covered with V. msea, but numerous bushes and small trees were scattered over it as well.

Previous work has suggested that these nipples increase light transmittance and reduce the eye glare of moths that are inactive during the day. This work builds on but goes further than earlier analyses suggesting a functional role for these structures including, for the first time, an explanation of why moths are attracted to UV light. Using a phylogenetic approach and 3D optical modelling, we show empirically that these arrays have been independently lost from different groups of moths and butterflies and vary within families. We find differences in the shape of nipples between nocturnal and diurnal species, and that anti-glow reflectance levels are different at different wave-lengths, a result thereby contradicting the currently accepted theory of eye glow for predator avoidance.

Abstract: The light-attracted hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) of the Estação Biológica de Boracéia, municipality of Salesópolis, state of São Paulo, Brazil were sampled during a period of 64 years (1940-2004). A total of 2,064 individuals belonging to 3 subfamilies, 6 tribes, 23 genera and 75 species were identified. Macroglossinae was the most abundant and richest subfamily in the study area, being followed by Sphinginae and Smerinthinae. About 66 % of the sampled individuals were assorted to the macroglossine tribes Dilophonotini and Macroglossini. Dilophonotini (Macroglossinae) was the richest tribe with 26 species, followed by Sphingini (Sphinginae) with 18 species, Macroglossini (Macroglossinae) with 16 species, Ambulycini (Smerinthinae) and Philampelini (Macroglossinae) with seven species each one, and Acherontiini (Sphinginae) with only one species. Manduca Hübner (Sphinginae) and Xylophanes Hübner (Macroglossinae) were the dominant genera in number of species. Only Xylophanes thyelia thyelia (Linnaeus) and Adhemarius eurysthenes (R. Felder) were recorded year round Introduction Hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) comprise Kitching 2002). Because of their capability to fly about 200 genera and 1300 species (Kitching and far away, these moths are potential long distance Cadiou 2000).
