Lepidoptera Recorded at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, Wareham, Dorset 1970 - 95
Lepidoptera recorded at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, Wareham, Dorset 1970 - 95 Bryan P Pickess & C James Cadbury January 2008 Reserves Ecology, RSPB, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2DL wpo/dptshare/James Cadbury/Lepidoptera of a Dorset Heathland LEPIDOPTERA RECORDED AT THE RSPB'S ARNE NATURE RESERVE, WAREHAM, DORSET, 1970 – 95. By Bryan P. Pickess, 8 Shaw Drive, Sandford, Wareham, Dorset BH20 5BT C. James Cadbury, 93 Barton Road, Cambridge, CB3 9LL Summary This paper presents the results of Lepidoptera recording at the RSPB's Arne Nature Reserve, on the Purbeck Heaths of southeast Dorset, during the years 1970 – 1995. Most of the records resulted from moth trapping using a variety of lights close to the hamlet of Arne by Bryan Pickess, but sightings of butterflies and day-flying moths are included. Lowland heathland is the predominant habitat of the 501 ha reserve. A total of 34 butterfly species, 430 'macro'-moths and 366 'micros' have been recorded at Arne. They include 10 Red Data and 34 Nationally Notable 'macro'-moths. Among the 'micros' are eight potential Red Data and 27 Nationally Notable species. Of particular conservation importance among the resident heathland species are the Dingy Mocha Cyclophora pendularia, Large Bagworm Pachythelia villosella, (a psychid,) and the plume Buckleria paludum, (Small Grass Emerald Chlorissa viridata, Bordered Grey Selidosema brunnearia Ringed Carpet Cleora cinctari). The BAP Priority Silver-studded Blue Plebeius argus (a Biodiversity Acha Plan Priority Species) has many colonies on the damper heathland. The Horse Chestnut Pachycnemia hippocastanaria (Nb) can be one of the most abundant moths on the heathland. -

Intressanta fynd av storfjflrilar (Macrolepidoptera) i Sverige 1993 NILS RYRHOLM Ryrholm, N.: Intressanta fynd av storfjarilar (Macrolepidoptera) i Sverige 1993. [Remarkable records of Macrolepidoptera in Sweden 1993.1 - Ent. Tidskr. l15 (1-2): 37-44. Uppsala, Sweden 1994. ISSN 0013-886x. This is the 2lst. consecutive annual report on interesting finds and provincial records of Macrolepidoptera in Sweden. The list has now become a tradition and an increasing number of lepidopterologists active in Sweden are contributing to the gathering of information. Despite the cool and wet summer, two species new to Sweden were found this year, Eulithis pyropata and Cucullia boryphoro. The former is an old member of the Baltic fauna that has expanded somewhat in previous years and therefore might be expected to appear also in Sweden: whether it is resident or not remains to be seen. The latter is a Southeast European species that has never been recorded from northern- or westem Europe before. The Swedish finds of this species were therefore totally unexpected - and they represent a spectacular example of long distance moth migration. These two species bring the total number of Macrolepidoptera found in Sweden to 1059. Partly due to the extremely warm period in the end of April and May, a number of interesting finds were made this season, whereas the numb€r of new provincial records was lower than normal. Perhaps the most interesting provincial records were some previously unreported finds which have been hiding in different museums for 40 to 45 years, namely Everes argiades and Hydraecia ultima. Amongthe more notable finds reported this year were: Pontia daplidice, Baptria tibiale, Acasis appensata, Eilema griseola, Schrankia taenialis and Xestia distensa. -
Recent Literature on Lepidoptera Vo1.16: No.2
1962 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 151 RECEIIJT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA (Under the supervision of PETER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to lepidopterists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here; omissions of papers more than :3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, new species and sub species are noted, with type localities if given in print. B. SYSTEMA TICS AND NOMENCLATURE Nye, 1. W.

The male genitalia of a great number of the species are figured. Numerous of the Cape Verde !:pecies of the above groups of Lepidoptera are distributed over the continent of Africa and this indicates that the Cape Verde Islands should be referred to the Ethiopian region and not to the Pale arctic. A number of the species are well known migrants with very wide distribution in subtropic areas. -

Although such faunistic studies were conducted extensively in the region during the first decade of the early 20th century, there are a few new taxa, taxonomic revisions, misidentifications, and misspellings, which should be documented. We examined 1,276 species in 652 genera, 59 subfamilies, and 15 families. We propose 4 new combinations, namely Arichanna refracta Inoue, 1978 stat. nov.; Psyra matsumurai Bastelberger, 1909 stat. nov.; Olene baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.; and Cerynia usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.. The noctuid Blepharita alpestris Chang, 1991 is regarded as a junior synonym of Mamestra brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758) (syn. nov.). The geometrids Palaseomystis falcataria (Moore, 1867 [1868]), Venusia megaspilata (Warren, 1895), and Gandaritis whitelyi (Butler, 1878) and the erebid Ericeia elongata Prout, 1929 are newly recorded in the fauna of Taiwan. -

Moth Study and Survey
Acknowledgements by the Friends of Durlston Our thanks go to the surveyor for the immense amount of hard work he has put into the field work and the presentation of his survey results. We would also like to thank all those photographers who have agreed for their work to be included in this report. In case of doubt, the photographs are representative of the species illustrated and, apart from the photomosaic facing page 1, were not taken at Durlston Country Park. Finally, we acknowledge with gratitude the generous legacy of the late Enid Rogers which made the commissioning of the Survey and Study possible, and to whom this report is dedicated.

FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK Volume 79 2018 pp. 127–161 Data of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) from the Korean Peninsula in the collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum – subfamily Larentiinae* Balázs Tóth**, Gergely Katona & Zsolt Bálint Hungarian Natural History Museum, Department of Zoology, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary. E-mails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract – Data of 2597 specimens of 155 species collected in Korea from 239 collecting events representing the subfamily Larentiinae are presented. Five species, Electrophaes recens (Inoue, 1982), Horisme aquata (Hübner, 1813), Perizoma bifaciata (Haworth, 1809), Eupithecia inturbata (Hübner, 1817) and Eupithecia caliginea Butler, 1878 are new for the fauna of the Korean Peninsula and adjacent islands. Diff erential features, images of habitus and genitalia of these species are giv- en. Further 16 species are new for North Korea, 3 species are new for South Korea. With 13 fi gures. Key words – checklist, Electrophaes, Eupithecia, Horisme, new record, Perizoma, undescribed species INTRODUCTION Th e subfamily Larentiinae contains ca. 6300 described species, being the sec- ond most species-rich group of Geometridae (Hausmann & Viidalepp 2012). Choi (2003) made an important step in the study of Korean Larentiinae material preserved in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. He published data of 108 species from North Korea, including fi rst records of ten species from the entire Korean Peninsula. Later on, he made a detailed overview of the Korean Larentiinae fauna in a series of books (Choi 2012a, b, 2013, 2014). Th is paper summarises the Larentiinae material from Korea in the for- mat similar to the work of Bálint & Katona (2011), and is intended to be a continuation of that paper. -
