Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups.

ZooKeys 323: 75–89. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.323.5684 Abstract The Republic of Albania has a rich diversity of flora and fauna. However, due to its political isolation, it has never been studied in great depth, and consequently, the existing list of butterfly species is outdated and in need of radical amendment. In addition to our personal data, we have studied the available litera- ture, and can report a total of 196 butterfly species recorded from the country. For some of the species in the list we have given explanations for their inclusion and made other annotations. Doubtful records have been removed from the list, and changes in taxonomy have been updated and discussed separately. The purpose of our paper is to remove confusion and conflict regarding published records. However, the revised checklist should not be considered complete: it represents a starting point for further research.

En éste, han participado un total de 42 naturalistas pertenecientes a un total de 7 organizaciones de España así como del ámbito académico. Destacar también la participación del grupo informal “Ortóptero holandés errante”, formado por investigadores del Museo Nacional Naturalis (Holanda). La jornada se completó con tres charlas relacionadas con esta temática. Se han contabilizado un total de 585 especies correspondientes a los grupos taxonómicos más importantes. El Bioblitz totalizó 390 invertebrados, 74 vertebrados y 118 p lantas vasculares. Caben destacar por su rareza las siguientes especies: la mariposa Pseudochazara williamsi y el chinche Parahypsitylus nevadensis. Para estas especies, y otras embématicas de la sierra, se ha elaborado una ficha en la que se destaca los aspectos que les hacen interesante. Finalmente comentar que este tipo de actividad tiene una gran utilidad para la comunidad científica y sirve de referencia para los gestores de los espacios naturales.

It is based on a concatenated alignment of the mitochondrial gene COI and up to 11 nuclear gene fragments, using Bayesian inference of phylogeny. To avoid analytical biases that could result from our region-focus sampling, our European tree was grafted upon a global genus- level backbone butterfly phylogeny for analyses. In addition to a consensus tree, we provide the posterior distribution of trees and the fully-concatenated alignment for future analyses.

  • Butterflies of Albania – Fluturat E Shqipërisë. New Surveys, New Species and a New Checklist (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea)
    Butterflies of Albania – Fluturat e Shqipërisë. New surveys, new species and a new checklist (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) Sylvain Cuvelier, Laurian Parmentier, Anila Paparisto & Jurgen Couckuyt Abstract. Three new butterfly species were recorded for Albania during two recent surveys: Pyrgus andromedae (Wallengren, 1853), Colias caucasica (Staudinger, 1871) and Leptidea juvernica Williams, 1946. Also Boloria titania (Esper, 1793) is new for the current Albanian territory that had previously been described by Rebel from the historical, larger Albania but situated now in Kosovo. Two data deficient species from the last checklist are confirmed: Carterocephalus palaemon (Pallas, 1771) and Hipparchia semele (Linnaeus, 1758). The status of six species is changed from present to data deficient or potential presence because of lacking recent evidence: Pontia chloridice (Hübner, 1813), Satyrium pruni (Linnaeus, 1758), Neptis rivularis (Scopoli, 1763), Euphydryas maturna (Linnaeus, 1758), Coenonympha glycerion (Borkhausen, 1788) and Kirinia climene (Esper, 1783). The geographical distribution for Pseudochazara tisiphone Brown, 1980 is significantly expanded to central Albania. Dot distribution maps are provided for all Albanian butterfly species. In addition to the new data, the available literature is screened, resulting in a mandatory update of the checklist for the Albanian butterflies: 196 species with recent evidence, 4 are data deficient and at least 9 have the potential to be discovered with future surveys. Përmbledhje. 3 lloje të reja fluturash për Shqipërinë janë përcaktuar nga analiza e materialeve të koleksionuara gjatë dy hetimeve shkencore të realizuara së fundmi: Pyrgus andromedae (Wallengren, 1853), Colias caucasica (Staudinger, 1871) dhe Leptidea juvernica Williams, 1946. Gjithashtu edhe Boloria titania (Esper, 1793) është tashmë një lloj i ri për territorin e Shqipërisë pasi më parë ky lloj është raportuar nga Rebel në zonën që sot ndodhet në Republikën e Kosovës.

Albertano A mia madre 1 Riassunto Il genere Hipparchia Fabricius è uno dei generi tassonomicamente più difficile dei satiridi paleartici. Esso comprende gruppi di taxa con caratteristiche esterne simili, ma con profonde differenze nei genitali maschili e negli androconi. Studi pregressi sul comportamento hanno evidenziato in alcune specie l’esistenza di un corteggiamento articolato per l'accoppiamento. La maggior parte delle volte, le sequenze di corteggiamento rilevate sono comparabili tra specie, ma possono presentare differenze nell’esecuzione e nell’ordine dei moduli comportamentali comuni; in altri casi, invece, sono caratterizzati da moduli esclusivi che presentano solo determinate specie. L’isolamento riproduttivo fra due specie è il risultato di un gran numero di meccanismi, più o meno indipendenti gli uni dagli altri, e l’importanza relativa dei vari fattori può cambiare da un gruppo di specie all’altro. La riproduzione tra specie animali, soprattutto simpatriche e strettamente affini, è comunemente impedita da una serie di fattori ecologici, comportamentali e citogenetici. Tra i meccanismi di isolamento riproduttivo pre- copula, quelli

The hosts, E. aurinia and M. cinxia, Abstract and parasitoids, E. furibunda and E. festinans, inhabit the same habitat and their life cycles highly overlap, nevertheless, the Several studies on butterfly ecology and biology of Melitaeini parasitoids maintain their host specifity: E. furibunda as parasitoid butterflies have been carried out in the past, however the factors of E. aurinia; E. festinans as parasitoid of M. cinxia. This was affecting butterfly mortality and the role of natural enemies on confirmed by our findingsonly during the butterfly breeding activities population dynamics are not yet fully known. Larval survival plays carried out for over five years. Although the role of chemical cues a key role in determining butterfly population size and distribution in host finding requires further research, according to our range; thus, knowing the sources and variation in larval mortality observations the presence of only E. furibunda on larval webs of is essential understanding and predicting population dynamics. E. aurinia letuse us suppose that the mechanism by which E. furibunda Butterfly larval mortality is generally ascribed to abiotic factors, locates its host could be based on olfactory cues emitted by feeding predators and parasitoids (mainly Diptera and Hymenoptera).
