  • January Review of Butterfly, Moth and Other Natural History Sightings 2019
    Review of butterfly, moth and other natural history sightings 2019 January January started dry and settled but mostly cloudy with high pressure dominant, and it remained generally dry and often mild during the first half of the month. The second half became markedly cooler with overnight frosts and the last week saw a little precipitation, some which was occasionally wintry. With the mild weather continuing from December 2018 there were a small number of migrant moths noted in January, comprising a Dark Sword-grass at Seabrook on the 5th, a Silver Y there on the 13th and 2 Plutella xylostella (Diamond-back Moths) there on the 15th, whilst a very unseasonal Dark Arches at Hythe on the 4th may have been of immigrant origin. Dark Sword-grass at Seabrook (Paul Howe) Dark Arches at Hythe (Ian Roberts) More typical species involved Epiphyas postvittana (Light Brown Apple Moth), Satellite, Mottled Umber, Winter Moth, Chestnut, Spring Usher and Early Moth. Early Moth at Seabrook (Paul Howe) Spring Usher at Seabrook (Paul Howe) The only butterfly noted was a Red Admiral at Nickolls Quarry on the 1st but the mild weather encouraged single Buff-tailed Bumblebees to appear at Seabrook on the 7th and Mill Point on the 8th, whilst a Minotaur Beetle was attracted to light at Seabrook on the 6th. A Common Seal and two Grey Seals were noted regularly off Folkestone, whilst at Hare was seen near Botolph’s Bridge on the 1st and a Mink was noted there on the 17th. February After a cold start to the month it was generally mild from the 5th onwards.

    Wiad. entomol. 29 Supl.: 111-114 Poznań 2010 KOMUNIKATY NAUKOWE COMMUNICATIONS Projektowany rezerwat przyrody „Olszak” w Górach Opawskich – ważna ostoja entomofauny (Lepidoptera, Neuroptera) A planned nature reserve ”Olszak” in the Opawskie Mountains – an important refuge of entomofauna (Lepidoptera, Neuroptera) Tomasz BLAIK Zakład Zoologii Bezkręgowców, Katedra Biosystematyki, Uniwersytet Opolski, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Southern slope of Mt. Olszak (453 m) in the Opawskie Mts. (Eastern Sudety Mts., SW Poland) is planned to be protected as an entomological-and-phytocenotic reserve. The main objectives of the protection are acidophilous oak forest and maple-linden slope forest being habitats of many rare species of moths and lacewings known from not numerous localities in Poland. Out of them, the populations of two unique in native lepidopteran fauna, saproxylic and phytosaprophagous species: Alabonia staintoniella (ZELL.) and Zanclognatha zelleralis (WCK.), are preserved here at their northernmost locality in Europe. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Neuroptera, protection, nature reserve, Mt. Olszak, Sudety Mts. Owady Gór Opawskich należą do słabo zbadanych na tle innych obsza- rów górskich Polski. Zainteresowanie entomologów tym niewielkim pa- smem Sudetów Wschodnich wzrosło dopiero w połowie lat 90. zeszłego wie- ku.

    Hatay İli Heterocera (Lepidoptera) Faunasına Katkılar Erol ATAY* * Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, Biyoloji Bölümü, Antakya, Hatay, TÜRKİYE *Corresponding author: [email protected] Özet Hatay ili için 6 familyaya ait 13 güve türü yeni kayıttır. Bu çalışma sayesinde Hatay lepidoptera faunası 508’den 521’e yükselmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Hatay, Heterocera, Lepidoptera, güve, fauna Contributions to the Heterocera (Lepidoptera) fauna of Hatay Abstract Thirteen moth species belonging to six families are new recording for the province of Hatay. Thanks to this study, recording of lepidoptera fauna in Hatay has increased from 508 to 521.

Her türe ait synonymleri, Türkçe yerel adları ve Türkiye’deki dağılımlarını da vermişlerdir. Yazarların 2006, 2007 ve 2009 yıllarına ait çalışmaları incelendiğinde Hatay’a ait toplam 508 lepidoptea türünün kayıtlı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır. Bunlardan 377’si gece kelebeklerine (Heterocera), 131’i ise gündüz kelebeklerine (Rhopalocera) ait türlerdir.

  • Nachtvlinderonderzoek in De Wassenaarse Duinen
    Nachtvlinderonderzoek in de Wassenaarse duinen Wouter Moerland Neeltje van Zuytbrouckhof 50 2311 WD Leiden [email protected] In de duinen bij Wassenaar worden sinds 2004 nachtvlinders gevangen. De eerste vlinderinventarisaties vonden plaats als onderdeel van de veldcursus ‘dierecologie’ aan de Leidse universiteit. Tegenwoordig zijn er particuliere initiatieven, zoals excursies van de NJN of de Leidse biologenclub. Kleinschalig vlinder- onderzoek toonde al de aanzienlijke vlinderdiversiteit in de Hollandse duinen: resultaten tot 2006 wor- den gepresenteerd door Van Alphen (2006). Sindsdien is het onderzoek voortgezet, met enkele grote inventarisaties. In juli 2007 en 2008 is in verband met de toen nieuwe website www.microlepidoptera.nl de omgeving van veldstation De Klip grondig bemonsterd. Ook buiten dit ‘vlinderhoogseizoen’ is volop gevlinderd, van maart tot in de december. Op basis van deze aanvullende vangsten presenteert dit artikel een herziene en geactualiseerde soortenlijst van nachtvlinders. Het geeft een overzicht van de resultaten van zeven jaar nachtvlinderen in de Wassenaarse duinen. Onderzoek naar nachtvlinders Vlinders (Lepidoptera) vormen in Nederland een diverse groep insecten: ongeveer 2200 soorten zijn er gevestigd (Noordijk et al. 2010). Een niet-wetenschappelijk maar pragmatisch onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen de ‘grote’ en ‘kleine’ vlinders. Een derde van die 2200 soorten wordt gerekend tot die grote vlinders, de macrolepidoptera (macro’s), inclusief dagvlinders. Het overige deel, de kleine vlinders, wordt microlepidoptera (micro’s) genoemd. Alle vlinders die niet tot de dagvlinders worden gerekend, bestempelt men als nachtvlinders. Figuur 1.

G. M. Bond1 and J. P. O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
