BUTTERFLY COLLECTING AT THE TIME OF A SOLAR ECLIPSE by JOSEF MOUCHA National Museum, Praha, CZECHOLOVAKIA June 30th 1954 was the day of a remarkable partial solar eclipse. This day I collected near the village of Cejkov near the Slovak-Hungarian frontier (SE of the town of Kosice, E. Czechoslovakia). This locality is very interesting for the collector. During my stays in Cejkov (May 5-9th 1951, June 30th 1954, and July 13-14th 1950) I have found here 142 species of Lepidoptera, of which 58 are Rhopalocera and 42 Geometridae, all collected by day only. In the surroundings of Cejkov are a number of biotopes, chiefly oak woods, hillsides covered with bushes and xerophilous plants, cultivated fields with different agricultural plants (for example corn, tobacco, red pepper, sunflower, etc.), and fruit-trees and vineyards also. Geographi cally this region belongs to the hilly country of cergov, where some of hills reach about 350-470 m a.s.!. Towards the south is low-lying land (99-125 m a.s.l.) on the rivers Ondava and Bodrog. The locality of Cejkov is situated on the border between this lowland and the hilly region, at an elevation above sea level of about 180 m. -

After the integration of Romania in the European Union the legal framework for the protection and the conservation of rare species was adopted. In the present work there have been made references to the species of Lepidoptera in need of protection specified in the EU Habitats Directive (92/43 EEC): - ANNEX 2 Animal and plant species of community interest whose conservation requires the designation of special areas of conservation; - ANNEX 4 Animal and plant species of community interest in need of strict protection. -

One could say that he is destined, after making the earth uninhabitable, to destroy himself” Jean Baptiste Lamarck (Zoological Philosophy, 1809). Two centuries after Lamarck recorded these thoughts, it is as if we were only a step away from fulfilling his alarming prophecy. Today, unfortunately, it is possible to state that man’s influence over the environment has never been as intensive, extensive or far-reaching. The explosive, exponential growth of the world’s population, coupled with a rapid depletion of natural resources and incessant accumulation of various pollutants, provides a dramatic warning of the severity of the situation at the beginning of the third millennium. -

Boggs , License 4.0 (CC BY-NC). Sören Nylin1, Christopher W. Wheat1* Chromosome evolution presents an enigma in the mega-diverse Lepidoptera. Most species exhibit constrained chromosome evolution with nearly identical haploid chromosome counts and chromosome-level gene collinearity among species more than 140 million years divergent. However, a few species possess radically inflated chromo- somal counts due to extensive fission and fusion events. To address this enigma of constraint in the face of an Downloaded from exceptional ability to change, we investigated an unprecedented reorganization of the standard lepidopteran chromosome structure in the green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi). We find that gene content in P. napi has been extensively rearranged in large collinear blocks, which until now have been masked by a haploid chromosome number close to the lepidopteran average. We observe that ancient chromosome ends have been maintained and collinear blocks are enriched for functionally related genes suggesting both a mechanism and a possible role for selection in determining the boundaries of these genome-wide rearrangements. -
Revised Systematics and Higher Classification of Pierid Butterflies
Zoologica Scripta Revised systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on molecular data NIKLAS WAHLBERG,JADRANKA ROTA,MICHAEL F. BRABY,NAOMI E. PIERCE & CHRISTOPHER W. WHEAT Submitted: 5 May 2014 Wahlberg, N., Rota, J., Braby, M.F., Pierce, N.E. & Wheat, C.W. (2014). Revised Accepted: 12 July 2014 systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on doi:10.1111/zsc.12075 molecular data. — Zoologica Scripta, 43, 641–650. The butterfly family Pieridae comprises approximately 1000 described species placed in 85 genera, but the higher classification has not yet been settled. We used molecular data from eight gene regions (one mitochondrial and seven nuclear protein-coding genes) com- prising a total of ~6700 bp from 96 taxa to infer a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Based on this hypothesis, we revise the higher classification for all pierid genera. We resurrect the tribe Teracolini stat. rev. in the subfamily Pierinae to include the genera Teracolus, Pinacopteryx, Gideona, Ixias, Eronia, Colotis and most likely Calopieris. We transfer Hebomoia to the tribe Anthocharidini and assign the previously unplaced gen- era Belenois and Dixeia to the subtribe Aporiina. Three lineages near the base of Pierinae (Leptosia, Elodina and Nepheronia + Pareronia) remain unplaced. For each of these, we describe and delineate new tribes: Elodinini Braby tribus nova, Leptosiaini Braby tribus nova and Nepheroniini Braby tribus nova. The proposed higher classification is based on well-supported monophyletic groups and is likely to remain stable even with the addition of more data.

Rudi Verovnik BIOLOGIJA IN OGROŽENOST VELIKEGA FRFOTAVČKA (Leptidea morsei) V SLOVENIJI DIPLOMSKO DELO LJUBLJANA, 2016 POVZETEK V diplomskem delu smo predstavili strnjen pregled biologije velikega frfotavčka (Leptidea morsei), njegovo razširjenost v Sloveniji, razloge za upad razširjenosti in smernice za ohranjanje vrste. Veliki frfotavček je dnevni metulj, ki poseljuje presvetline in jase v listnatih in mešanih gozdovih. Je eden izmed najbolj ogroženih metuljev v Evropi. V Sloveniji je njegov razvoj vezan na rastlinsko vrsto Lathyrus niger, na katero samica odlaga jajčeca. Velikega frfotavčka ogrožajo predvsem spremenjeno upravljanje z gozdovi, zgodnja košnja zeliščne vegetacije, razdrobljenost habitata in klimatske spremembe. Z zbranimi podatki iz treh obdobij (do leta 1990, med letoma 1990 in 2005 ter po letu 2005) smo raziskovali dejansko in celotno razširjenost vrste v Sloveniji. Celotno območje razširjenosti vrste v Sloveniji je na območjih Kočevske, Bele krajine, reke Kolpe, Suhe krajine, na Gorjancih, v Krškem in Bizeljskem gričevju, Podravju ter po južnem obrobju Posavskega hribovja (Čelik idr., 2005). Na območju Podravja je vrsta redka (Jež, 1983, v Čelik idr., 2005). Ugotovili smo, da se celotno območje razširjenosti zmanjšuje. V nasprotju s tem dejstvom zbrani podatki Centra za kartografijo favne in flore kažejo, da se povečuje dejanska razširjenost. Vzrok za to navidezno povečanje pripisujemo dejstvu, da so razširjenost vrste v zadnjem času podrobneje raziskovali in je na razpolago več podatkov. Ogroženost bi lahko zmanjšali s spremenjenim gospodarjenjem z gozdovi. -

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. -

Lepidoptera, butterflies, red listed species, military training area, grassland, conservation Abstract. Military training areas are increasingly recognized as areas of high biodiversity and habitats for many wild organisms, in- cluding threatened or endangered species. However, the information on the ecological value of military training areas is limited because it is difficult access these sites. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of military activity on butterfly communities. The survey was carried out in a military training area (MTA) at Inje-gun near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), Inje forest (IJF) a secondary forest and Gwangneung forest (GWF) an old growth forest, from April to October 2008 to 2011. IJF and GWF were selected in order to determine the characteristics of a butterfly community differed in a MTA.
