Butterfly Conservation South Wales Newsletter Butterfly News The newsletter of the South Wales Branch of Butterfly Conservation Spring 2006 Major new report issued by Butterfly Conservation Where have Wales' moths gone? The moth population of Wales is in serious decline, causing concern for the future of many species of birds, bats and invertebrates that feed on them. The decline is revealed in a new report entitled “The State of Britain's Larger Moths”. The precise reasons for decline remain to be determined, though habitat loss and climate change are highly implicated. Sir David Attenborough, in a foreword to the report, describes its conclusions "significant and worrying". Sir David, who recently fascinated the nation with his BBC series Life in the Undergrowth, says: "Moths are valuable indicators of what is happening in our countryside. Other insects too are almost certainly in decline." The report's key conclusions are: Dusky Thorn moth - one of the moths showing a severe * The number of larger moths in Britain has decreased by 32 decline. Photo: R. Elliott per cent since 1968 * Southern Britain - including Wales - has seen a decrease in larger moth numbers of 44 per cent since 1968 * Twice as many moth species have declined as have increased * Sixty-two moth species are believed to have become extinct in Britain during the twentieth century Subsequent analysis shows that the losses in urban areas have been in the region of 50 per cent. Decreasing populations of some moths in the north have been counterbalanced by increases in others, particularly of those found more ON OTHER PAGES commonly in the south. This pattern indicates a response to climate change. 2 E-mail Newsletters The report, funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, has NPMG Report, 2005 been compiled by the UK charity Butterfly Conservation.

Reassessment of forewing pattern elements in Tortricidae (Lepidop- tera). Acta zoologica cracoviensia, 46(3): 269-275. Abstract. Forewing pattern elements of moths in the family Tortricidae are discussed and characterized. An historical review of the terminology is provided. A new system of nam- ing pattern elements is proposed. Key words. Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, forewing pattern, analysis, terminology. Józef RAZOWSKI, Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, S³awkowska 17, 31-016 Kraków, Poland. E-mail: razowski.isez.pan.krakow.pl I. INTRODUCTION Early tortricid workers such as HAWORTH (1811), HERRICH-SCHHÄFFER (1856), and others pre- sented the first terminology for forewing pattern elements in their descriptions of new species. Nearly a century later, SÜFFERT (1929) provided a more eclectic discussion of pattern elements for Lepidoptera in general. In recent decades, the common and repeated use of specific terms in de- scriptions and illustrations by FALKOVITSH (1966), DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968), and oth- ers reinforced these terms in Tortricidae. BRADLEY et al. (1973) summarized and commented on all the English terms used to describe forewing pattern elements. DANILEVSKY and KUZNETZOV (1968) and KUZNETZOV (1978) analyzed tortricid pattern elements, primarily Olethreutinae, dem- onstrating the taxonomic significance of the costal strigulae in that subfamily. For practical pur- poses they numbered the strigulae from the forewing apex to the base, where the strigulae often become indistinct. KUZNETZOV (1978) named the following forewing elements in Tortricinae: ba- sal fascia, subterminal fascia, outer fascia (comprised of subapical blotch and outer blotch), apical spot, and marginal line situated in the marginal fascia (a component of the ground colour).

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.
