Abstract It is stated that the populations of Anarta insolita (Staudinger, 1889) from Eastern Kazakhstan and Mongolia formerly considered as Anarta insolita uigurica (Hacker, 1998) represent two subspecies well-separated morphologically. A new subspecies A. insolita umay Volynkin, Titov & Černila, ssp. n. is described for the populations from the southeastern Russian Altai Mts and Mongolia. The true male of A. insolita uigurica from Eastern Kazakhstan is illustrated for the first time, a diagnosis for the subspecies is provided. Key words: Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Russian Altai, Mongolia, new subspecies, male genitalia. Introduction Anarta Ochsenheimer is a large Holarctic Hadeninae genus comprising more than 80 valid species subdivided into eight subgenera: Anarta, Tricholea Grote (= Hadula Staudinger), Ptochicestra Hacker, Aglossestra Hampson, Cardiestra Boursin, Calocestra Beck, Pulchrohadula Hacker and Discestra Hampson (Hacker 1998; Fibiger & Hacker 2005). The Eurasiatic taxa of the genus were revised by Hacker (1998). Anarta (Tricholea) insolita (Staudinger, 1889) is distributed in Central Asia. In his revision, Hacker described the subspecies A. insolita uigurica (Hacker, 1998) for the populations from Mongolia and Eastern Kazakhstan. The holotype female of uigurica originates from Eastern Kazakhstan, while all other paratypes (except for a female from SE Kazakhstan) are from Mongolia and have some slight external differences from the holotype. Later, this taxon was reported for the southeastern part of the Russian Altai Mts by Volynkin et al. (2011). During the entomological expedition to Eastern Kazakhstan in early May of 2015, the senior and second authors of the present paper collected a series of both sexes of A. insolita uigurica one hundred Ecologica Montenegrina, 35, 2020, 115-122 NEW SUBSPECIES OF ANARTA INSOLITA FROM RUSSIAN ALTAI kilometers from the type locality. All the specimens are similar externally to the holotype and different from the populations from Mongolia and Russian Altai. Dissection of males displayed significant genital differences from both the nominate subspecies and the populations from Mongolia and Russian Altai, that proved belonging of the eastern populations to another taxon. However, COI sequences of two specimens of uigurica have no diagnostic differences from those of two specimens from Western Mongolia therefore we can consider uigurica as a subspecies of A. insolita only. At the same time, with the separation of A. insolita uigurica as an Eastern Kazakhstan subspecies the description of a new subspecies for the populations from Mongolia and Russian Altai became necessary. The subspecies is described below. Material and methods The genitalia of specimens were dissected and mounted in Euparal on glass slides. Photos of imagoes were taken using the camera Nikon D3100/AF-S Nikkor, 18–55 mm. Photos of the genitalia were taken by the same camera attached to a microscope with an LM-scope adapter. DNA barcode sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit (COI barcodes) were obtained through sequencing at the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding (CCDB, Guelph). The barcode sequences were compared using neighbour-joining trees constructed using the Kimura-2-Parameter distance model.

Ecologica Montenegrina, 35, 2020, 115-122 117 NEW SUBSPECIES OF ANARTA INSOLITA FROM RUSSIAN ALTAI Diagnosis. The new subspecies differs externally from A. i. uigurica in its less contrast forewing pattern, paler claviform stigma, slightly narrower and more monotonous reniform stigma, narrower and more interrupted inner blackish brown shade of the subterminal line, and narrower and more diffuse discal spot of hindwing. In comparison to the nominate subspecies (Fig. 8), A. i. umay ssp. n. has the slightly smaller size and narrower forewing with a less elongate apex, the ochreous brown forewing coloration (sand yellowish in A. i. insolita), the conspicuously more contrast forewing pattern with a well-developed subterminal line, the smaller orbicular stigma with a clearly distinguishable fringe (that is indistinct in A. i. insolita), the narrower reniform stigma with a clearly distinguishable fringe and a dark grey suffusion in its posterior half (in A. i. insolita that is monotonous with an indistinct fringe), and the broader discal spot of hindwing. The male genitalia of A. i. umay ssp. n. are very similar to those of A. i. uigurica (illustrated by Hacker (1998)), but in A. i. umay ssp. n. the right saccular process is slightly less elongate, whereas in A. i. insolita that is more elongate and reaches the tip of cucullus. The male genitalia of A. i. umay ssp. n. differ clearly from those of A. i. uigurica in the narrower uncus, the more elongate and more heavily sclerotized juxta, the narrower right saccular process with a pointed tip (whereas in A. i. uigurica the right saccular process is more robust and apically broadened and densely dentate), and the slightly larger cornutus in aedeagus vesica. The female genitalia of the three subspecies are very similar, but those of A. i. umay ssp. n. have the slightly shorter apophyses anteriores and slightly more heavily sclerotized longitudinal ribs of the posterior section of corpus bursae than those structures of A. i. uigurica. Additionally, the anterior section of corpus bursae of the new subspecies bears a narrowly lanceolate, weakly sclerotized signum, which is absent in A. i. uigurica. The distal female abdominal segments of A. i. umay ssp. n. (Fig. 15) are narrower than those of A. i. uigurica (Fig. 16). Compared to the nominate subspecies (illustrated by Hacker (1998)), the female genitalia of A. i. umay ssp. n.

  • Climate Change and Conservation of Orophilous Moths at the Southern Boundary of Their Range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera)

Biogeographic relict, extinction risk, global warming, species richness, sub-alpine prairies Abstract. During the last few decades the tree line has shifted upward on Mediterranean mountains. This has resulted in a decrease in the area of the sub-alpine prairie habitat and an increase in the threat to strictly orophilous moths that occur there. This also occurred on the Pollino Massif due to the increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in Southern Italy. We found that a number of moths present in the alpine prairie at 2000 m appear to be absent from similar habitats at 1500–1700 m. Some of these species are thought to be at the lower latitude margin of their range. Among them, Pareulype berberata and Entephria flavicinctata are esti- mated to be the most threatened because their populations are isolated and seem to be small in size. The tops of these mountains are inhabited by specialized moth communities, which are strikingly different from those at lower altitudes on the same massif further south. The majority of the species recorded in the sub-alpine prairies studied occur most frequently and abundantly in the core area of the Pollino Massif.

  • Hadula Vassilinini (Bang Haas, 1927) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) New to the Fauna of Iran with Description of Its Female
    Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics (IJAB) Vol.10, No.1, 73-76, 2014 ISSN: 1735-434X Hadula vassilinini (Bang Haas, 1927) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) new to the fauna of Iran with description of its female Esfandiari, M. Department of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran. In spite of many taxonomic and faunistic publications on the Noctuidae of Iran, still many regions in this country are not well studied and need further intensive faunistic surveys. The number of recorded noctuid species from Iran exceeds 1200 at the moment (Esfandiari et al. 2010 & 2011). The genus Hadula Staudinger, 1889 contains seven subgenera Hadula Staudinger, 1889, Cardiestra Boursin, 1963, Ptochicestra Hacker, 1998, Aglossestra Hampson, 1905, Calocestra Beck, 1991, Pulchrohadula Hacker, 1998 and Discestra Hampson, 1905 (Hacker, 1998). Hacker (1998) listed six species and one ssp. including H. (Cardiestra ) vassilinini in the subgenus Cardiestra Boursin, 1963 with an identification key. Three new taxa were added by Gyulai (2002, 2008) to the subgenus Cardiestra . Type locality of the ssp. Hadula vassilinini deserta Gyulai, 2002 in Iraq is about 450 km westward form where we collected our material in south-west Iran. In the framework of faunistic studies of noctuid fauna in south-west Iran (Esfandiari et al. 2010 & 2011), the present study providing the report of Hadula vassilinini (Bang Haas, 1927) as a new species to the fauna of Iran. Furthermore here we describe the unknown female of this species for the first time. This is a third locality record for this species as it was previously only recorded from Azerbaijan (type locality: Elisabethpol [Ganja]) and Turkey (Hacker, 1998).

  • Moths of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    MOTHS OF UMATILLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE: Results from 10 sites Sampled May 22-23, 2017 Dana Ross 1005 NW 30th Street Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 758-3006 [email protected] SUMMARY Macro-moths were sampled from the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge for a third time 22-23 May, 2017 as part of an ongoing pollinator inventory. Blacklight traps were deployed for a single night at ten sites representative of major plant communities in the McCormack and Paterson Units. A grand total of 331 specimens and 36 moth species were sampled. Of those, 17 species (47%) were documented from the refuge for the first time. In a somewhat larger geographical context, 21 species were recorded for the first (8), second (7) or third (6) time from Morrow County, Oregon while 4 species were documented for the first (1) or second (3) time from Benton County, Washington. INTRODUCTION National Wildlife Refuges protect important habitats for many plant and animal species. Refuge inventories have frequently included plants, birds and mammals, but insects - arguably the most abundant and species-rich group in any terrestrial habitat - have largely been ignored. Small size, high species richness and a lack of identification resources have all likely contributed to their being overlooked. Certain groups such as moths, however, can be easily and inexpensively sampled using light traps and can be identified by regional moth taxonomists. Once identified, many moth species can be tied to known larval hostplant species at a given site, placing both insect and plant within a larger ecological context. Moths along with butterflies belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera.

    © Entomologica Fennica. 8.XI.l991 Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Bering ian refuge Kauri Mikkola, J, D. Lafontaine & V. S. Kononenko Mikkola, K., Lafontaine, J.D. & Kononenko, V. S. 1991 : Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Beringian refuge. - En to mol. Fennica 2: 157- 173. As a result of published and unpublished revisionary work, literature compi­ lation and expeditions to the Beringian area, 98 species of the Noctuidae are listed as Holarctic and grouped according to their taxonomic and distributional history. Of the 44 species considered to be "naturall y" Holarctic before this study, 27 (61 %) are confirmed as Holarctic; 16 species are added on account of range extensions and 29 because of changes in their taxonomic status; 17 taxa are deleted from the Holarctic list. This brings the total of the group to 72 species. Thirteen species are considered to be introduced by man from Europe, a further eight to have been transported by man in the subtropical areas, and five migrant species, three of them of Neotropical origin, may have been assisted by man. The m~jority of the "naturally" Holarctic species are associated with tundra habitats. The species of dry tundra are frequently endemic to Beringia. In the taiga zone, most Holarctic connections consist of Palaearctic/ Nearctic species pairs. The proportion ofHolarctic species decreases from 100 % in the High Arctic to between 40 and 75 % in Beringia and the northern taiga zone, and from between 10 and 20 % in Newfoundland and Finland to between 2 and 4 % in southern Ontario, Central Europe, Spain and Primorye.

Lafontaine published for only a few groups of Lepidoptera in western Biological Resources Program, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada. Scott (1986) gives good distribution maps for Canada butterflies in North America but these are generalized shade Central Experimental Farm Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C6 maps that give no detail within the Montane Cordillera Ecozone. A series of memoirs on the Inchworms (family and Geometridae) of Canada by McGuffin (1967, 1972, 1977, 1981, 1987) and Bolte (1990) cover about 3/4 of the Canadian J.T. Troubridge fauna and include dot maps for most species. A long term project on the “Forest Lepidoptera of Canada” resulted in a Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (Agassiz) four volume series on Lepidoptera that feed on trees in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Canada and these also give dot maps for most species Box 1000, Agassiz, B.C.

We present their taxonomical classification and describe the evolutionary relationships Revised 3 August 2016 among various groups of invertebrate-infecting viruses. We also indicate the relationships of the Accepted 4 August 2016 invertebrate viruses to viruses infecting mammals or other vertebrates. The shared characteristics of Available online 31 August 2016 the viruses within the various families are described, including the structure of the virus particle, genome properties, and gene expression strategies. Finally, we explain the transmission and mode of infection of Keywords: the most important viruses in these families and indicate, which orders of invertebrates are susceptible to Entomopoxvirus these pathogens.

This group comprises viruses in the families Poxviridae (subfamily Entomopoxvirinae) and Iridoviridae. The Invertebrate DNA viruses span several virus families, some of viruses in the family Ascoviridae are also discussed as part of which also include members that infect vertebrates, whereas other this group as their replication starts in the nucleus, which families are restricted to invertebrates.
