Monograph A revision of the Bracon Fabricius species in Wesmael’s collection deposited in Brussels (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae) Jenő PAPP Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Baross utca 13, H-1088 Budapest, Hungary, and Kézmüves utca 14/A, H-1184 Budapest XVIII, Hungary. Email: [email protected] Abstract. An account of the taxonomic position of the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 is presented. In his monograph Wesmael (1838: 7-58) made a survey of 48 nominal species of Bracon occurring in Belgium. Out of the 48 species thirty-seven were described by Wesmael himself as new species, eleven more species had previously been described by Fabricius (three species), Nees (seven species) and Spinola (one species). The Bracon material studied by Wesmael is deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. Type (holo-, lecto-, paralectotype) designations are made for Wesmael’s species and neotype designations for Nees sensu Wesmael’s species. Redescriptions, comments on distributions and their taxonomic positions are presented. Palpibracon subgen. nov. is established (type species Bracon delibator Haliday, 1833) for fi ve Bracon species with long maxillary palpi in the Holarctic (four species) and Ethiopian Region (one species). The following fi fteen Bracon species names proved to be junior synonyms (valid names in italics): B. dichromus Wesmael, 1838 = B. carpaticus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. erraticus Wesmael, 1838 = B. bellicosus Papp, 1971 syn. nov., = B. exarator Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., = B. praetermissus Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., B. vectensis Marshall, 1885 syn. nov.; B. fuscicornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. levicarinatus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. immutator Nees, 1834 = B. breviusculus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. intercessor Nees, 1834 = B. laetus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. larvicida Wesmael, 1838 = B. crassiusculus Szépligeti, 1901 syn. nov.; B. longicollis Wesmael, 1838 = B. subcylindricus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. megapterus Wesmael, 1838 = B. biimpressus Telenga, 1936 syn. nov.; B. nigratus Wesmael, 1838 = B. orbicularis Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. osculator Nees, 1811 = B. coniferarum Fahringer, 1927 (Schmiedeknecht in litt.) syn. nov.; B. picticornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. vitripennis Ratzeburg, 1852 syn. nov.; B. titubatus Wesmael, 1838 = B. fuscipennis Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov. The species Bracon (Lucobracon) turolus Papp, 1984 is revalidated (suppressed under the name B. (Glabrobracon) nigriventris Wesmael, 1838 by Tobias & Belokobylskij 2000: 162).

This material was taken by him mainly in the regions of Brussels and Liège. Of these 48 nominal species, 37 were described by Wesmael himself as new to science. The rest of the nominal species had already been described by earlier authors: three species by Fabricius, seven species by Nees ab Esenbeck and one species by Spinola. Wesmael’s braconid collection is deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, and the results of my study of Bracon species therein are presented here. Refl ections on the subgeneric system of the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 Fahringer (1925-1928) was the fi rst to arrange the Palaearctic Bracon species in subgenera and sections: he created three subgenera: Bracon s. str., Braconella Szépligeti, 1901 and Kulczynskia Niezabitowski, 1910, and within the subgenus Bracon s. str. four sections: Glabrobracon Fahringer, 1927, Lucobracon

  • Newsletter 82 Page 1 of 14 Ground-Breaking Format, Incorporating the Gathering and Disseminating of Records and Information About the Moths of the County
    Norfolk Moth Survey c/o Natural History Dept., Castle Museum, Norwich, NR1 3JU Newsletter No.82 November 2012 INTRODUCTION It has been, as they say, a funny old year. Anyone hoping for an upturn in mothing fortunes following the topsy-turvy summer of 2011 was likely to have been disappointed. In fact, I don’t think I can recall any other year since NMS started in 1985, when so many of our planned field meetings have succumbed to adverse weather conditions. Lynford was postponed, Brettenham was a non-event, and our joint meeting with the Suffolk Moth Group for National Moth Night was cancelled. One suggestion resulting from all this is that in future we should encourage everyone to check information on the website on the day of the event if conditions are likely to be unfavourable. Hopefully that may prevent un-necessary journeys from being undertaken. Having said all that, the remaining field trips were fairly successful, and reports on them are included in this newsletter. As always, we are grateful to all of you who have supported these events in any way. Given the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that migrant species were also relatively sparse in appearance this year. Dave Hipperson has compiled the usual list of records received so far. If you have any outstanding migrant records, do please send them in as an additional list will be included in the newsletter next spring. One of the more exciting migrants that did turn up was a new county record in the form of the pyrale Sclerocona acutellus, the so-called Thatch Pearl.

  • The Distribution and Habitat Preferences of Bats in a Temperate Urban Landscape
    The distribution and habitat preferences of bats in a temperate urban landscape Paul Lintott July 2015 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Biological & Environmental Sciences, School of Natural Sciences The University of Stirling Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has been composed by myself and that it embodies the results of my own research. Where appropriate, I have acknowledged the nature and extent of work carried out in collaboration with others. ………………………………………………………………………….. Paul Lintott Summary Urbanisation is a key driver in the loss, fragmentation and modification of natural habitats resulting in the global loss of biodiversity. As the human population, and consequently the rate of urbanisation, continues to increase exponentially it is important to understand how to sustain and enhance biodiversity within the built environment. Cities comprise a complex assortment of habitat types yet relatively little is known of how its composition and spatial configuration can influence species presence or foraging activities. It is therefore necessary to examine habitat use and biodiversity patterns at multiple spatial scales to fully understand how species are responding to the urban matrix. There are few other orders of animals that are as strongly associated with people as bats (Chiroptera); for some bat species human habitations provide roosts and adaptations of the environment provide food sources. However bat species richness generally declines with increasing urbanisation indicating that many species are not able to persist in highly urbanised areas. In this thesis, I show that the behaviour, habitat preferences, and distribution of bats are strongly influenced by the built environment at both a local and landscape scale.

(Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) Ignác Richter Abstract. Present article brings information about new findings of case–bearing moths (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) from the Balkan Peninsula. Several species of the genus Coleophora were recorded for the first time for some of the Balkan countries. Coleophora herniariae, C. daglarica and C. albipennella are recorded as new for the fauna of Europe. The description Coleophora vardarella Richter, sp. nov., from Macedonia is given. Keywords.

Ignác Richter | Malá Čausa 289, SK–971 01, Slovakia E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Intensive faunistic research of small moths (“Microlepidoptera”) of the Balkan Peninsula continues for several decades already and lasts until the recent times. The family Coleophoridae Bruand, 1850 belongs to the less known moths of the Balkans, therefore our focus has been oriented towards this large Lepidoptera family. Faunistic and systematic studies of this moth group in the Balkans resulted in interesting findings. One of the most important recent works about the genera Coleophora Hübner, 1822 and Goniodoma Zeller, 1849 of the Balkan Peninsula is the contribution of Richter & Pastorális (2015). Results of surveys conducted by seni- or author, executed in the years 2010–2014 at different sites of Croatia, Montene- gro, Macedonia, and Bulgaria were presented.

O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

TREMATERRA*, A. SCIARRETTA*, P. PARENZAN** Note faunistiche su alcuni interessanti Tortricidi dell’Italia meridionale (Lepidoptera)° ABSTRACT FAUNISTIC NOTES ON SOME INTERESTING TORTRICID MOTHS FROM SOUTHERN ITALY (LEPIDOPTERA) Studies on the Lepidoptera Tortricidae Collection at the Agricultural Entomology Institute of Bari University are reported. Cydia johanssoni Aarvik & Karsholt, 1993, was found for the first time in Italy; Diceratura rhodograpta Djakonov, 1929, was a new record for the mainland; 25 species are new for Southern Italy. Key words: Lepidoptera Tortricidae, faunistic reports, Southern Italy. Nelle Collezioni entomologiche presenti presso l’Istituto di Entomologia agraria dell’Università degli Studi di Bari, vi sono numerosi esemplari di Lepidoptera Tortricidae, raccolti nel tempo dal professor Paolo Parenzan in alcune regioni del Sud Italia (Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria). Lo stu- dio di tale materiale fornisce un contributo alle conoscenze faunistiche relati- ve a questa famiglia di microlepidotteri, in passato poco indagata per l’Italia meridionale. Di seguito, per le specie di maggiore interesse si riportano le località di raccolta, la geonemia, i dati noti per l’Italia e alcune notizie di biologia. * Dipartimento di Scienze Animali, Vegetali e dell’Ambiente - Università degli Studi del Molise, Campobasso. ** Istituto di Entomologia agraria - Università degli Studi di Palermo. ° Per la realizzazione del presente contributo P. Trematerra e A. Sciarretta hanno effettuato la determinazione degli esemplari e la stesura del lavoro; P. Parenzan ha raccolto il materiale e curato la revisione del testo.
