In Kula, examination was done on the following cultivars: „Viljamovka“ (Bartlett/Wiliams), General Le Clerc, „Passa Crasana“, Abe Fetel and Poire de Curé. Six species of leafminers from four families was determined. Family Lithocolletidae is presented with three species: spotted tentiform leafminer miner (Lithocoletis blancardella Fabricius), hawthorn red midget moth (Lithocoletis corylifoliella Haworth) and garden apple slender (Calisto denticulella Thunberg), family Nepticulidae with one: apple pigmy (Stigmella malella Stainton) and from the family Lyonetiidae, two species was found: pear leaf blister moth (Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa (1836)) and Coleophora hemerobiella Scopoli from family Coleophoridae. The highest number of damaged leaves was found in the semi-intensive plantations, in localities Tilava and Petrovici, where S. malella and C. denticulella were dominated species. In intensive plantations, in the locality Vojkovici, only S. malella was found. In the locality Kula, except S. malela which was the most numerous on pear cv. the Williams, L. blancardella was also determined. In extensive orchards, in the locality Kasindo, the most common species was C. denticulella. Keywords: leafminers, pear, East Sarajevo. Introduction Leafminers from order Lepidoptera are economically important pests in areas where pears are grown. The damage are caused by larvae that are feed on the leaf parenchyma below the epidermis, leaving empty couloir, or "mine" of different shapes and sizes. The presence of mines on leaves reduces assimilation and transpiration surface, which adversely affects the yield, fruit quality and, in general, physiological condition of plants. Importance of these pests and their negative impact on fruit production, started increasing during end of the 60´s in the XX century. Leafminers became a serious problem, particulary in plantations in most European countries (Dimic, 1964, 1968). The presence and importance of different species of isn't the same in all areas of their distribution. In Europe, more than 20 species of leafminers from genera: Coleophora, Leucoptera, Stigmella, Lyonetia, Lithocolletis, Incurvaria, Recurvaria and Calisto were detected on the pear (Hering, 1957). The most important species on the pear are: Lyonetia clerkella, Leucoptera malifoliella, Lithocolletis blancardella, Lithocolletis corylifoliella and Callisto denticulella (Almasi et al., 2004). In Turkey, for example, three species was identified on pear: Lyonetia prunifoliella (Hubner, 1796), Lyonetia clerkella and Leucoptera malifoliella (Seven, 2006). After Lithocolletis blancardella was introduce in North America from Europe, it became an important pest (Corrigan and Bennett, 1987), and a increasing problem in plant production, because of its resistance to organophosphorus insecticides, especially azinphos- methyl (Hogmire and Beavers, 1998). 1106 Sixth International Scientific Agricultural Symposium „Agrosym 2015“ In Romania, in pear orchards, the most important species are L. blancardella and Lithocolletis corylifoliella (Frasin et al., 2008; Vasian et al., 2013). In the former Yugoslavia, a mass phenomenon leafminers occurred in the late 70´s in XX century, when they became a serious problem. For example, eight leafminer species were detected on the pear in Slovenia: Lyonetia clerkella, Lithocolletis corylifoliella, Lithocolletis cerasicolella, Calisto denticulella, Stigmella pomella, Stigmella piri, Stigmella plagicollella, Stigmella prunetorum. In Serbia and Croatia were registered five leafminer species: Leucoptera malifoliella, Lyonetia clerkella, Lithocolletis corylifoliella, L. blancardella and Stigmela malella (Krnjaić and Grujic, 1982). Distribution and harmfulness caused by leafminers were studied in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 60´s, when a rapid increase in population density and damages were registered. In that period, a total of 45 species of leafminers were found, out of which in Sarajevo and its wider area 5 species was recorded on the pear: L. corylifoliella, L. mespiliella Frey, Lyonetia clerkella, Cemiostoma scitella and Coleophora hemerobiella. In that period, according to the intensity of the attack, the most harmful was L. corylifoliella, especially on young trees (Dimic, 1964, 1968). The area which now includes the East Sarajevo presents a part of the Sarajevo region and there are not enough data regarding harmful leafminers on pears. The tendency of increasing the production of pears in this area in the last 10 years, resulted in establishment the new, intensive plantations. Having in mind that leafminers are economically important pests of pear, the aim of this study was to register their diversity, to detect the most numerous species, as well differences in their number, both in plantations where different growing tehniques are aplied, as well between the cultivars. Materials and methods The examination was realized in 2011. and 2012. in the field (locations Vojkovici, Kula, Tilava, Petrovici, Kasindo) and in the laboratory of the Agricultural faculty in East Sarajevo. Samples of pear leaves were taken four times from June to the end of October for leafimers presence in all inspected locations. Every time 100 randomly sampled leaves were taken from pear trees (total of 400 leaves per each locality), except in the locality Kula, where 400 leaves of each variety was sampled. All sampled leaves were observed in laboratory for presence of mines as well the type of mines. Number of damaged leaves was calculated. The before adult stadium of insects who located in the mines, were reared to adult stadium. The rearing was in plastic containers and Petri dishes with a layer of cellulose wadding on the bottom of which is occasionally yeast in order to maintain the freshness of the list. Determination of species was based on morphological characteristics of the adults and shapes of mines, folloowed by keys and appropriate entomological literature (Balachowsky 1966, Hering, 1957). Results and discussions Two-year research of diversity of leafminers on pears in the area of East Sarajevo, resulted in six detected species from four families. From family Lithocolletidae, three species were found: Lithocoletis blancardella Fabricius, Lithocoletis corylifoliella Haworth and Calisto denticulella Thunberg. From family Nepticulidae results of our examination showed presence of Stigmela malella Stainton, from family Lyonetiidae it was Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa (1836)), while Coleophora hemerobiella Scopoli which belongs to family Coleophoridae, was found only in certain leaves. The number of damaged leaves, varied by the species of leafminers and inspected cultivars (Table 1). Regarding the total number of 323 damage leaves, found in all inspected localities, the most numerous species was S. malella, whose mines were registered in 125 leaves or 38,69%, followed by C. denticulella (97 leaves or 30,03%) and L. blancardella with 74 damaged leaf 1107 Sixth International Scientific Agricultural Symposium „Agrosym 2015“ or 22,91%. The lowest number of damaged leaves was caused by L. corylifoliella (20 leaves or 6,19% ) and L. malifioliella (7 mined leaves or 2,16%). Table. 1.

  • Moths of Poole Harbour Species List
    Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost.

The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in Russia over 13 years (2000-2012). Leaf miners have been found to be highly host plant-specific. Most of them are associated with only one or two plant species and therefore the number of links between trophic levels is 73, which is close to the total number of Lepidoptera species (linkage density is 1.12).

The family Coleophoridae Bruand, 1850 belongs to the less known moths of the Balkans, therefore our focus has been oriented towards this large Lepidoptera family. Faunistic and systematic studies of this moth group in the Balkans resulted in interesting findings. One of the most important recent works about the genera Coleophora Hübner, 1822 and Goniodoma Zeller, 1849 of the Balkan Peninsula is the contribution of Richter & Pastorális (2015). Results of surveys conducted by seni- or author, executed in the years 2010–2014 at different sites of Croatia, Montene- gro, Macedonia, and Bulgaria were presented.

As a result of a series of studies conducted within the Forest Reserve of Hârboanca (Vaslui) between June 2005 and October 2006, there were identified 60 species of leaf-mining insects, belonging to 14 families, from three different orders: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) and Hymenoptera (5%). The “mines” caused by the larvae of these insects were identified on 34 different species of hosting plants, mostly wooden plants. The leaf-mining Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera larvae are more likely to grow on wooden plants, while those belonging to the Diptera order prefer herbaceous plants. One of the species, Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) found here was signaled for the first time in Romanian fauna, while other ten species were encountered for the first time in Moldavia. Keywords: leaf-mining insects, Forest Reserve of Hârboanca, Romanian, fauna. Rezumat. Insecte miniere semnalate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui). În urma studiilor efectuate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui) în perioada iunie 2005 - octombrie 2006 s-au identificat 60 de specii de insecte miniere care aparţin la 14 familii, grupate în 3 ordine: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) şi Hymenoptera (5%). Minele provocate de larvele insectelor miniere au fost identificate pe 34 de specii de plante-gazdă, majoritatea fiind de esenţă lemnoasă. Larvele lepidopterelor şi himenopterelor miniere se dezvoltă mai mult pe plantele lemnoase, în schimb dipterele preferă plantele ierboase.

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.

    ©Österr. Ges. f. Entomofaunistik, Wien, download unter www.zobodat.at Beiträge zur Entomofaunistik 15: 1 –7 Wien, Dezember 2014 Die Gracillariinae und Phyllocnistinae (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) des Bundeslandes Salzburg, Österreich Michael KURZ* & Gernot EMBACHER** Abstract The Gracillariinae and Phyllocnistinae (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) of the federal state of Salzburg, Austria. – The revision of all specimens housed in the collection “Haus der Natur” and in several private collections, as well as available literature records of the family Gracillari- idae (excluding Lithocolletinae) of the federal territority of Salzburg revealed 33 species, 29 of which belong to Gracillariinae and four to Phyllocnistinae. Four species recorded by EMBACHER & al. (2011b) and also by HUEMER (2013) had to be eliminated from the catalogue because the speci- mens were misidentified or the records could not be verified. Two species are new for the fauna: Caloptilia populetorum (ZELLER, 1839) and Caloptilia fidella (REUTTI, 1853). Key words: Austria, Salzburg, Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae, Gracillariinae, Phyllocnistinae, faunis- tic records, collection “Haus der Natur”. Zusammenfassung Die Revision der in der Sammlung am „Haus der Natur“ und in mehreren Privatsammlungen auf- gefundenen Belege aus der Familie Gracillariidae (ausgenommen Lithocolletinae) und der dazu bekannten Literaturangaben ergab den Nachweis von 33 Arten, von denen 29 den Gracillariinae und 4 den Phyllocnistinae zuzuordnen sind.
