Lepidoptera, Sesiidae, endemics, widespread species, macro-ecology, spatial auto-regression, latitudinal gradient, longitudinal gradient, coherence, range size, postglacial colonization Abstract. Although the sizes of the geographical ranges of plant and animal species are of major interest to macroecologists, the spa- tial distributions and environmental correlates of only a small group of animals and plants are well studied. Here data on the spatial distributions of 116 European clearwing moths (Sesiidae) was used to determine the patterns in spatial distribution, postglacial colo- nization and endemism. The spatial distributions of sesiids are significantly more coherent and there are fewer isolated occurrences and unexpected absences than predicted by a random sample null model. After correcting for environmental correlates, islands and mainland countries did not differ significantly in the number of species with small ranges. Polyphagous wood attending species were more widespread than those with other life histories. Species of Siberian origin had wider ranges than those of Mediterranean origin. Nestedness and species co-occurrence analysis did not support a unidirectional postglacial colonization from a Southern European refuge but colonization from both Southern and Eastern Europe.

Kontekst, Poznan, 277 pp. incl. 109 plates (70 in colour). Hard cover, format B5, ISBN 978-83-62564-36-1. Price: 40 EUR + 7 EUR for postage in Europe '. This book brings a complex revision of the clearwing moths (Sesiidae) of Poland. It is a compre- hensive treatment of this family for the territory of Poland which comprises 3 1 species (of the about 110 species known in Europe). The text is supplemented by 36 text figures and 109 plates of adults and preadult stages. The general contribution of the work and its relevant results are clearly sum- marised in the abstract. In the Introduction, the author briefly characterises the family Sesiidae, the level of our know- ledge and the history of research. Methods of preparation and treatment of all developmental stages and individual morphological structures, the way of preparing images and genetic analyses are clear- ly described in the Material and Methods. A detailed description of adult morphology follows - at- tention is paid also to the morphological structures and body parts which are usually not used in diagnoses or taxonomy in other groups of Lepidoptera, e.g., colouring of the ventral and lateral parts of thorax and abdomen, and of the legs. The description of the adult includes genitalia characters of both sexes. The author also pays attention to the description of preadult stages - egg, larva and pupa, including chaetotaxy. In the chapter on Biology, the author primarily reviews the characteristic Batesian mimicry of clearwing species which manifests itself by the wing and body morphology, colouring and ways of moving.
