The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed EUR 15,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currencies). Any Notes issued under the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions herein. Notes to be issued under the Programme may comprise (i) unsubordinated Notes (“Senior Notes”) and (ii) Notes which are subordinated as described herein and have terms capable of qualifying as Tier 2 Capital (as defined herein) (the “Subordinated Tier 2 Notes”). The Notes will be issued in the Specified Denomination(s) specified in the applicable Final Terms. The minimum Specified Denomination of the Notes shall be at least EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The Notes have no maximum Specified Denomination. The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to the Dealer specified below and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (each a “Dealer” and together the “Dealers”). This base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) has been approved on 1 June 2021 by the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten/Autorité des services et marchés financiers) (the “Belgian FSMA”) in its capacity as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”). It contains information relating to the issue by the Issuer of Notes under the Programme and must be read in conjunction with the documents incorporated by reference herein. The Belgian FSMA has only approved this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. This approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in any Notes. In addition, application has also been made to Euronext Brussels (“Euronext Brussels”) for Notes issued under the Programme during the period of twelve months from the date of approval of the Base Prospectus to be listed on Euronext Brussels and admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels. References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being “listed” (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been listed and admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels. The regulated market of Euronext Brussels is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”). The Issuer may also issue Notes which are not listed or request the listing of Notes on any other stock exchange or market. This Base Prospectus is valid for twelve months from its date. The obligation to supplement the Base Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply after this period of twelve months from the date of approval of the Base Prospectus. The Notes will be issued in dematerialised form in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code (Wetboek van Vennootschappen en Verenigingen/Code des Sociétés et des Associations), as amended (the “Belgian Companies and Associations Code”) and cannot be physically delivered. The Notes will be represented exclusively by book entries in the records of the securities settlement system operated by the National Bank of Belgium (the “NBB”) or any successor thereto (the “Securities Settlement System”). Access to the Securities Settlement System is available through those of its Securities Settlement System participants whose membership extends to securities such as the Notes. Securities Settlement System Participants include certain banks, stockbrokers (beursvennootschappen/sociétés de bourse), Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”), Clearstream Banking Frankfurt (“Clearstream”), SIX SIS AG (“SIX SIS”), Monte Titoli S.p.A. (“Monte Titoli”) and Interbolsa S.A. (“Interbolsa”). Accordingly, the Notes will be eligible to clear through, and therefore accepted by, Euroclear, Clearstream, SIX SIS, Monte Titoli and Interbolsa and investors may hold their Notes within securities accounts in Euroclear, Clearstream, SIX SIS, Monte Titoli and Interbolsa. The Notes issued in dematerialised form and settled through the Securities Settlement System may be eligible as ECB collateral, provided that the applicable ECB eligibility requirements are met. Information on the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of such Notes, the issue price of such Notes and other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined herein) of such Notes will be set out in a final terms document (the “Final Terms”) which will be delivered to the Belgian FSMA and Euronext Brussels on or before the date of issue of the Notes of such Tranche. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes to be listed on Euronext Brussels will be published on the website of the Issuer (www.kbc.com/en/investor-relations/debt-issuance/kbc-group.html). Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. When an issue of a certain Series (as defined herein) of Notes is rated, its rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating applicable to the Programme (if any) and such rating may be specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not a rating in relation to any Tranche of Notes will be treated as having been issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies, as amended (the “CRA Regulation”) and/or by a credit rating agency established in the United Kingdom and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “UK CRA Regulation”) will be disclosed in the relevant Final Terms. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed “Risk Factors” in this Base Prospectus, setting out certain risks in relation to Senior Notes and Subordinated Tier 2 Notes. In particular, holders of Senior Notes and Subordinated Tier 2 Notes may lose their investment if the Issuer were to become non-viable or the Notes were to be (in the case of the Subordinated Tier 2 Notes) written down and/or converted or (in the case of the Senior Notes) bailed-in. See pages 21 to 23 of this Base Prospectus. Moreover, Subordinated Tier 2 Notes include certain risks specific to the nature of such instruments, such as subordination, write- down/conversion features, increased illiquidity, conflicts of interest and redemption. See pages 13 to 35 for a description of the risk factors and pages 26 to 28for a description of the risk factors specific to Subordinated Tier 2 Notes. The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Accordingly, prospective investors in Notes should decide for themselves whether they want to invest in the Notes and obtain advice from a financial intermediary in that respect, in which case the relevant intermediary will have to determine whether or not the Notes are a suitable investment for them. If the “Prohibition of Sales to Consumers” is specified as applicable in the Final Terms in respect of any Notes, the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and will not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, by any Dealer to “consumers” (consumenten / consommateurs) within the meaning of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Wetboek van economisch recht / Code de droit économique), as amended.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

In each year the trap operated from 5 March until 5 November. During the eight years altogether 127 929 specimens were collected belonging to 594 species, which is about 60% of the Hungarian fauna. 216 species occurred in each year. Noctuidae and Geometridae were most rich in spe- cies and most abundant. Arctiidae, Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae and Sphingidae were also represented in a considerable proportion. The analysis of the flight activity curves shows two summer peaks and also a smaller spring and an autumn peak. The faunal type composition of the species and their abundance, respectively, was the following: Transpalearctic (48.15%, 55.68%), Boreo Continental (18.86, 8.16%), South Continental (2.02%, 0.67%), West Palae- arctic (28.96%, 35.14%), Xeromontane (1.01%, 0.05%) and Extrapalaearctic (1.01%, 0.31%).

    The LepidopterologicalSocietyLepidopterological Society of Japan A Revision of Genus Demopsestis and Its Three Related Genera, withthe Description of a New Species from Taiwan Thyatiridae) (Lepidoptera, Hiroshi YosHiMoTo Tokyo High School, 39-1, Unoki 2-chome, Ota-ku,]46 Tokyo In this paper, I am going to deal with four related genera of Thyatiridae: Demopsestis MATsuMuRA, 1927, 7lakapsestis MATsuMuRA, I933, NeopJoca MATsuMuRA, 1927, and Asphalia HUBNER, [1821]. Demopsestis, 7bkapsestis and Neoptoca were each established for the reception of a single species, viz, Asphatia punctigera BuTLER, 1885, 7-kekapsestis ",ilemaniella MATsuMuRA, 1933, and Olina arctipennis BuTLER, 1878, respectively. A,gphalia was proposed for the two European species, Noctua diluta [DENis et ScHIFFERMVLLER], 1775, and IVbctua rttficoilis [DENis et ScHiFFERMULLER], 1775, and the latter was subsequently designated as the type-species of Asphalia by HARvEy, 1874. These genera have not been revised and the name Asphalia is not cur- rently used by European authors, who consider it a junier synonym of Polyploca `LA." HOBNER, [l821]. diluta is now treated as a sole member of the genus C),mato- phorima SpuLER, 1908. No further species has ever been included in the above genera. Through the kindness of Mr. M.R, HoNEy of the British Museum (Natural History), London, I could study the photos of the male genitalia of several Thyatiridae described under the genera PoLMploca or Paiimpsestis HOBNER, [1821], and 1 learned that seme of them should correctly be transferred into the genus 72ikapsestis. During my collecting trip to Taiwan, I obtained a fairly long series of specimens belonging to an undescribed species of the genus Demopsestis.

The family Thyatiridae with the three species (Tethea ocularis (LINNAEUS, 1767), Asphalia ruficollis ([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775), and Polyploca laororshanae sp. nov.) is recorded from Israel for the first time.

Two Drepanidae species are known from previous publications, but Cilix asiatica BANG-HAAS, 1907 was previously misidentified as C. glaucata (SCOPOLI, 1763) and so C. glaucata must be replaced by C. asiatica in the Israeli list of Lepidoptera, while the occurence of Watsonalla binaria (HUFNAGEL, 1767) has been verified. The distribution, phenology, ecology, abundance and the association of these species with the main phyto-geographical zones, as well as their characteristic woodland habitats are described. 57 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Zusammenfassung Verbreitung, Flugzeit und Häufigkeit der drei israelischen Thyatiridae- und der beiden Drepanidae-Arten werden dargestellt.

  • "MORPHOLOGICAL and BEHAVIOURAL STUDIES on RESTING POSITION in LEPIDOPTERA" by J.Petersen, B.So.(Lond.) Thesis Submitte
    "MORPHOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL STUDIES ON RESTING POSITION IN LEPIDOPTERA" by J.Petersen, B.So.(Lond.) Thesis submitted for the Ph. D. degree, University of London. September 1960 Imperial College Field Station, Silwood Park, Sunninehill. ABSTRACT The literature on resting habits in Lepidoptera is reviewed. An account of the higher classification of the Lepidoptera is given. Earlier descriptions of the lepidopterous wing base are reviewed and tables of comparative nomenclature are given for the wing base sclerites and the flight muscles. Microscopicalpreparations of wing bases were made and the cuticular elements were differentiated with Mallory's triple stain. It was found that a specialized type of cuticle was present wherever the sclerotized parts of the wing base were distorted during flight or wing folding. This was called "bending cuticle". Dissections of the thoracic musculature were made and some electrophysiological experiments were conducted to find out which muscles were involved in wing folding. Wing folding in living insects was observed and some operations were performed on live insects to determine how the wing was folded. The wing base morphology was found to have undergone considerable changes in the Lepidoptera from the more primitive to the most advanced forms. These structural modifications were associated with changes in the resting attitude. The thigmotactic and phototrectic responses of some Noctuoids were investigated by means of choice chambers. The interactions between these two factors and hydrotaxis and geotaxis were studied in Operophtera brumata. It was concluded that behaviour patterns have been evolved in nocturnal moths which enable them to settle in a suitable place of concealment at dawn.
