Twenty six species and four species are newly recorded from the Kamchatka Peninsula and from the North Kuril Islands, respec­ tively. The percentage of the species having extensive range (cosmopolitan, Holarctic or Trans-Palaearctic) to all collected species is 7 4.4% (32 of 43 spp.).

  • Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of Leaf-Spinning Moths (Lepidoptera) Feeding on Vaccinium Uliginosum L
    © Entomologica Fennica. 25 February 2011 Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of leaf-spinning moths (Lepidoptera) feeding on Vaccinium uliginosum L. along an ecological gradient in central European peat bogs Aurel I. Lozan, Karel Spitzer, Josef Jaro, Andrey Khalaim, Maria Concetta Rizzo, Emilio Guerrieri & Ale Bezdìk Lozan,A.I.,Spitzer,K.,Jaro,J.,Khalaim,A.,Rizzo,M.C.,Guerrieri,E.& Bezdìk, A. 2010: Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of leaf-spinning moths (Lepidop- tera) feeding on Vaccinium uliginosum L. along an ecological gradient in central European peat bogs. Entomol. Fennica 21: 243253. Parasitoids of leaf-spinning Lepidoptera associated with two isolated central Eu- ropean peat bogs were investigated. Five families of parasitoid Hymenoptera (Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Eulophidae, Pteromalidae and Encyrtidae) were recorded. Three categories were recognised: (1) primary parasitoids, (2) faculta- tive hyperparasitoids and (3) obligatory hyperparasitoids. Ten species of Braco- nidae, five species and seven marked morphospecies among Ichneumonidae, and three species of Chalcidoidea were identified. Despite of some niche-specific (but less host-specific) parasitoids, all these hymenopterans are likely to be gen- eralists and none of them were confirmed to be habitat and/or host specialists. Unlike their eurytopic (opportunistic tyrphoneutral) parasitoids, the Lepidoptera hosts associated with peat bogs are partially highly stenotopic (tyrphobionts and tyrphophiles). The occurrence of parasitoids compared to their potential hosts was structured along an ecological (mesoclimatic) gradient, so most parasitoids were recorded from margins while stenotopic (narrow habitat adaptation) moths were mostly distributed near the centre of the bog habitat.

  • 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.

  • Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera)
    Fund af småsommerfugle fra Danmark i 2018 (Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera) Otto Buhl, Per Falck, Ole Karsholt, Knud Larsen & Flemming Vilhelmsen Correspondance to: Småsommerfuglelisten, Zoologisk Museum, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 København Ø, Danmark, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article reports and comments on interesting Danish Microlepidoptera collected in 2018 and includes remarkable records from previous years. The classification and nomenclature follow the Danish checklist (Karsholt & Stadel Nielsen, 2013). Seven species are reported as new to the Danish fauna: 1) Micrurapteryx kollariella (Zeller, 1839) and 2) Caloptilia honoratella (Rebel, 1914) (Gracillariidae); 3) Dichomeris latipennella (Rebel, 1937) and 4) Scrobipalpa bryophiloides Povolný, 1966 (Gelechiidae); 5) Aethes bilbaensis (Rössler, 1877) (Tortricidae); 6) Hodebertia testalis (Fabricius, 1794) and 7) Cynaeda pustulalis (Hübner, 1823) (Crambidae). All were collected in one or two specimens with automatic light traps, apart from S. bryophiloides which was taken at light and H. testalis which was collected on sugar ropes. Stenoptilia veronicae Karvonen, 1932 replaces Stenoptilia eborinodactyla Zagulajev, 1986 in the Danish list. The introduced species Prays oleae (Bernard, 1788) is removed from the list as the only specimen recorded from Denmark belongs to Prays citri (Millière, 1873). The total number of Danish Gracillariidae is now 91, Gelechiidae 182, Tortricidae 395, and Crambidae 128. This results in a total of 1629 species of Microlepidoptera (families Micropterigidae–Zygaenidae + Pyralidae–Crambidae) found in Denmark. The total number of Macrolepidoptera species recorded from Denmark is 978, bringing the number of Danish Lepidoptera to a total of 2607 species. This is the 40th article in the series of yearly lists of Microlepidoptera from Denmark published in Entomologiske Meddelelser.

  • Olethreutini 3
    Olethreutini 3 Phiaris Phiaris umbrosana (Freyer) 4740 17-20 mm. Imago er aktiv fra sidst på eftermiddagen fra juni til først i juli. Længere mod syd i en 2. generation i august. Den bliver hurtigt slidt og hunnen ses sjældent. Den holder til i ellemoser. Kendelig på ”bjælken” mellem båndene og de brede, lidt spidse vinger. Phiaris umbrosana (Freyer) Larven lever mærkelig nok ikke på El, men på lave planter f. eks. Mynte (Mentha) i april-juni. Phiaris umbrosana (Freyer) Udbredt i et bælte gennem det vestlige og centrale Europa undtagen England. Ikke i Norge, men i det østlige Sverige til den Botniske bugt og i det meste af Finland og Baltikum. I Danmark er arten uhyre lokal og manglende i mange områder. Kun i det østlige og sydlige Sjælland og LFM er der en del findesteder, men den optræder ofte hyppigt på findestederne. Phiaris obsoletana (Zett.) 4741 16-20 mm. Meget variabel. Imago er aktiv også i dagtimerne. Den holder til i moser og i bjergområder fra midt i juni gennem juli og er lokalt talrig. Kendelig på det meget uregelmæssige ydre lyse bånd. Phiaris obsoletana (Zett.) Larven lever på Melbærris (Arctostaphylos uvaursi) og Vaccinium -arter i Mellemeuropa. Boreomontan. Udbredt i de centrale bjerge i Europa (dog ingen fund i nyere tid i Tyskland) og Skandinavien (til Ishavet), men også kendt videre mod øst til Mongoliet. I Sverige kendt fra Småland og igen fra Stockholmstragten og mod nord. Phiaris dissolutana (Stange) 4742 12-17 mm. Imago er aktiv om eftermiddagen, men når de fleste andre viklere begynder at flyve holder den inde.

Therefore, it appears as a wise bet-hedging strategy to manage reserves in diverse and patchy manners. Using portable light traps, we surveyed the effects of two contrasting management options, mowing and temporary abandonment, applied in a humid grassland reserve in a submountain area of the Czech Republic. Besides of Macrolepidoptera, we also surveyed Microlepidoptera, small moths rarely considered in community studies. Numbers of individiuals and species were similar in the two treatments, but ordionation analyses showed that catches originating from these two treatments differed in species composition, management alone explaining ca 30 per cent of variation both for all moths and if split to Marcolepidoptera and Microlepidoptera. Whereas a majority of macrolepidopteran humid grassland specialists preferred unmown sections or displayed no association with management, microlepidopteran humid grassland specialists contained equal representation of species inclining towards mown and unmown sections. We thus revealed that even mown section may host valuable species; an observation which would not have been detected had we considered Macrolepidoptera only.

Two of them (Epermenia wockeella und E. vartianae) are recorded for the first time. New distributional data for 1 1 species and new life history data for 5 species are given. The genitalia of the male of E. wockeella and female of E. vartianae are described and illustrated for the first time. Zusammenfassung. Es werden 26 Epermeniidae-Arten für das Gebiet der ehemaligen UdSSR nach- gewiesen, zwei von ihnen {Epermenia wockeella und E. vartianae) sind Erstnachweise. Für 11 Arten werden Neufunde und für 5 Arten neue Angaben zur Lebensweise gemacht. Die Genitalien der Männchen von E. wockeella und der Weibchen von E. vartianae werden erstmals beschrieben und abgebildet. Key words. Lepidoptera, Epermeniidae, former USSR, Epermenia wockeella, E. vartianae. Introduction The family Epermeniidae is the only representative of the superfamily Epermenioidea (sensu Kristensen 1999).
