Accepted 28 February, 2013 The histories of the researches on the Lepidoptera of Yozgat are given. This study was carried out in Akda ğlar located in Akda ğmadeni district (Yozgat, Turkey), during the years 1999 to 2000. The study aimed to collect data on Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea species, their distribution and current status. Butterflies samples were caught with sweep nets from 43 localities during the field work. 121 species belonging to seven families and two super families were identified. 74 out of 121 species which were identified in this study are first records for the Lepidoptera fauna of Akda ğmadeni and 25 out of them are first records for Yozgat province. According to literature review and collection of data, 139 species recorded from Yozgat were evaluated. Key words: Fauna, Lepidoptera, Akda ğlar, Akda ğmadeni, Yozgat, Turkey. INTRODUCTION In terms of fauna of Lepidoptera in Yozgat, there is no this name was evaluated as a junior synonym of comprehensive investigation. Lederer (1855) is among subspecies caucasia (Hesselbarth et al., 1995). the first publications on the Anatolian Lepidoptera. In this During the naming, the taxon of Eumenis briseis study, the materials which were collected by Kindermann hyperleucaon , Verity (1937) evaluated the materials from Amasya, Tokat, Sivas, Diyarbakır and Mardin were collected by Phillips (British officer) at the “Pine Woods” evaluated. There are no record about Yozgat and its [Çamlık National Park] (vicinity of Yozgat) in 1918. Then, surroundings. this name has been as junior synonym of the Chazara Staudinger (1878 to 1881) in his works on the fauna of briseis meridionalis (Hesselbarth, et al., 1995). Anatolia, evaluated the collected material from Amasya Verity (1939) also described the subspecies Lysandra and other than compiling all the faunistic records about albicans parabellargus from material collected by Philips the Lepidoptera of Anatolia until that day. However in this in 1918 from “Pine Wood” in vincinty of Yozgat. study, no mention of Yozgat and its surroundings was However, this is believed to be probably either an made. Staudinger and Rebel (1901), in their wide-ranging individual form, or a hybrid (Kudrna, 1983). The published studies in catalog of Lepidoptera of Palaearctic information about this taxon was not mentioned by region did not mention the Lepidoptera of Yozgat. Hesselbarth et al. (1995). Fruhstorfer (1911) described subspecies Satyrus geyeri Therefore, this study was conducted in Akda ğlar aristonichus from Amasya. This taxon also was found (Akda ğmadeni) for the determination fauna of later in Yozgat. Lepidoptera in the area. This study is important since it is Bryk and Eisner (1931) described the Parnassius the first and comprehensive study on Lepidopteran mnemosyne ssp . angorae on the basis of samples species in Akda ğmadeni (Yozgat). collected from localities "Keskatepe" from Yozgat.

The field studies were carried out during the years 1999 to 2000 Hüseyino ğlu and Akyol 11 between April and August in 43 different localities and habitat types Gonepteryx farinosa (Zeller, 1847) in altitudes between 1160 to 2100 m in Akda ğlar mountains Gonepteryx rhamni (Linnaeus, 1758) (Akda ğmadeni) from Yozgat province. Specimens were collected Family: LIBYTHEIDAE Boisduval, 1833 using a sweep net. Collected specimens were killed in killing jars with ethyl acetate. During the collection, the collection date, name Libythea celtis (Laicharting, 1782 ) of the locality and altitude were noted on a piece of envelope for Family: ARGYNNIDAE Duponchel, [1835] each specimen and field notebook. Each specimen was then kept Limenitis reducta Staudinger, 1901 in the envelope and all materials were brought to the laboratory for Nymphalis antiopa (Linnaeus, 1758) preparation and identification. All the butterfly specimens were Nymphalis polychloros (Linnaeus, 1758) pinned with wings spread, dried, and put into collection boxes. For identification of specimens, different studies such as Hesselbarth et Aglais urticae (Linnaeus, 1758) al. (1995), Tolman (1977) and first author’s collections of Inachis io (Linnaeus, 1758) comparative materials were used.

In this Newsletter there are two reports of successful trips by EIG members to Mount Chelmos in Greece (Page 9 & 10) and to Hungary (Page 11,12 & 13). These activities are beginning to influence local National Parks and it was encouraging to hear that grazing has resumed in the Latrany Valley in Hungary something that the West Midlands group that went to Hungary in 2006 recommended. It was this group that formed EIG. We are able to organize activities in Europe only if we don’t fall foul of the 1991 EU Travel Directive and the 1993 EU Package Travel Directive. This means for all EIG trips we have to either use a travel company such as Ecotours or book our own flights and accommodation as we did in Greece or to travel independently and meet up at the arranged site as we did in the Ecrins last year. There is however an insurance issue outstanding, which would cover BC from, claims from anyone participating in the same way as they are covered by BC’s insurance for a field event or work party in the UK.

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.

  • Cappadocia Wildlife Tour Report Turkey Botanical Birdwatching
    Hatay to Cappadocia Flowers, Birds & Ancient Sites of Turkey A Greentours Trip Report 12th to 23rd May 2012 Led by Seda Soylu and Phil Benstead The following report is from the itinerary we did in 2012. The 2013 tour differs in that instead of visiting the Hatay region in 2013 we’ll be starting the tour in Konya and Kulu Golu in the centre of Anatolia and the rest of the tour will be done in reverse of the 2012 order. So the most relevant days are days 5-12 in this report, and these correspond to days 4-11 (but in reverse order!) in the 2013 itinerary. Daily report written by Phil Benstead and Seda Soylu Day 1 Saturday 12th May arrival We all converged on the airport at Istanbul by different routes, negotiating the visa buying process and the march across to the domestic terminal. The deciding game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Championship took place in Istanbul during the evening and even the airport departure area was caught up in the excitement. Very atmospheric. We eventually all met up at the gate for our late night onward flight and then dozed through the short journey to Hatay and were soon being met by a smiling Seda and whisked off in the minibus to the hotel. Day 2 Sunday 13th May the road to Yayladağı A leisurely start to the day was required this morning after the late (early?) arrival at the hotel last night. Breakfasted we headed for the van and drove south towards Syria on the road to Yayladağ ı.

    3. Európa és a Földközi-tenger térségének búska- és pillangó- faunájának magyar nevekkel ellátott fajjegyzéke Az eddigieket kiegészítve, a Tshikolovets (2011) által leközölt fajjegyzék nyomán bemutatom az Európában és a Földközi-tenger térségében előforduló Pillangóalakú lepkék magyar elnevezéseit. Ez olvasható a következőkben. A fajok család, alcsalád és tribusz szerint kerülnek felsorolásra. A rendszertani kategóriákat követően olvasható az odasorolt fajok tudományos és magyar elneve- zése. A tribuszokon belül a fajnevek betűrendben követik egymást. A jegyzékben kövér betűk jelzik a Kárpát-medencében honos vagy kipusztult, vagy az egyetlen vagy néhány példány alapján jelzett fajokat. Ez utóbbi fajok egy ré- sze valóban tenyészett vagy csak ideiglenesen megtelepülő lehetett. Néhány faj elő- fordulási adata viszont bizonyosan elcédulázott vagy félrehatározott példányokon alapult. A tudományos nevek Tshikolovets névjegyzékét követik.(16) A latin név után megadom Tshikolovets könyv oldalszám-hivatkozását, ahol a fajt ábraanyag és rö- vid szöveg mutatja be. Ez után a Gozmány-féle magyar név következik, ami gyakor- latilag a Hétnyelvű Szótár (Gozmány 1979) névanyaga. A kéziratos nevek (Gozmány kézirat, vö. 8. ábra) csak akkor kerülnek felsorolásra, ha a faj a szótárból kimaradt, vagy a név különbözik az ott olvasható névtől. A Gozmány-féle nevek után az álta- lam javasoltak olvashatók (Bálint 2006 és 2008). Sok fajnak nem volt még magyar neve, ezeknek újat adok. Minden ilyen esetet külön jelzek. Bár a Gozmány-féle faji jelzőket igyekeztem megtartani, azoktól szakmai okok miatt számos esetben el kellett térjek. Ezek megindoklásától eltekintek, mivel az je- lentősen megnövelné ennek a munkának a terjedelmét. Viszont a névjegyzék után következő fejezetben megadom a rendszertani kategóriák képzéséhez használt tu- dományos és magyar nevek magyarázatát.

  • Some Butterfly Observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen Received 3.111.2003
    ©Ges. zur Förderung d. Erforschung von Insektenwanderungen e.V. München, download unter www.zobodat.at Atalanta (August 2003) 34(1/2): 153-165, colour plates Xl-XIVa, Wurzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 Some butterfly observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen received 3.111.2003 Abstract: Unlike the Ural Mountains, the Altai, and the Tien Shan, the steppe region of Cen­ tral Asia has been poorly investigated with respect to butterflies - distribution maps of the re­ gion's species (1994) show only a handful occurring within a 300 km radius of Karaganda in Central Kazakstan. It is therefore not surprising that approaching 100 additional species were discovered in the Karaganda Oblast during collecting in 1997, 2001 and 2002. During two days of collecting west of the Balkash Lake in May 1997, nine species were identified. On the steppes in the Kazakh Highland, 30 to 130 km south of Karaganda, about 50 butterflies were identified in 2001 and 2002, while in the Karkaralinsk forest, 200 km east of Karaganda, about 70 were encountered. Many of these insects are also to be found in western Europe and almost all of those noted at Karkaralinsk and on the steppes occur in South-Western Siberia. Observations revealed Zegris eupheme to be penetrating the area from the west and Chazara heydenreichi from the south. However, on the western side of Balkash Lake the picture ap­ peared to change. Many of the butterflies found here in 1997 - Parnassius apollonius, Zegris pyrothoe, Polyommatus miris, Plebeius christophi and Lyela myops - mainly came from the south, these belonging to the semi-desert and steppe fauna of Southern Kazakstan.

Popovic´, M. –Duric´, F. Franeta, J. R. van Deijk & R. Vermeer Abstract This paper presents the first finding of Lycaena helle ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) in the Balkan Peninsula on Balkan (Stara Planina) Mts. The butterfly was discovered in the bordering region between Serbia and Bulgaria. European distribution of this boreo-montane species is confined to northern parts of the continent with isolated colonies in central and south-western Europe. It is shown to be endangered at both European and regional level, and thus marked as one of the priority species for protection. In the Balkans the species can be found in mountain bogs associated with small streams where plant communities Geo coccinei-Deschampsietum caespitosae are developed .

Turkey (and Syria?) on the East; three other species are conti ned to strictly limited area, overlapping the anteros ränge at its margins, and until now they still remain extremely little known.

  • Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

  • The Radiation of Satyrini Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): A
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 161, 64–87. With 8 figures The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods CARLOS PEÑA1,2*, SÖREN NYLIN1 and NIKLAS WAHLBERG1,3 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Av. Arenales 1256, Apartado 14-0434, Lima-14, Peru 3Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Received 24 February 2009; accepted for publication 1 September 2009 We have inferred the most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis to date of butterflies in the tribe Satyrini. In order to obtain a hypothesis of relationships, we used maximum parsimony and model-based methods with 4435 bp of DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for 179 taxa (130 genera and eight out-groups). We estimated dates of origin and diversification for major clades, and performed a biogeographic analysis using a dispersal–vicariance framework, in order to infer a scenario of the biogeographical history of the group. We found long-branch taxa that affected the accuracy of all three methods. Moreover, different methods produced incongruent phylogenies. We found that Satyrini appeared around 42 Mya in either the Neotropical or the Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, and/or Indo-Australian regions, and underwent a quick radiation between 32 and 24 Mya, during which time most of its component subtribes originated. Several factors might have been important for the diversification of Satyrini: the ability to feed on grasses; early habitat shift into open, non-forest habitats; and geographic bridges, which permitted dispersal over marine barriers, enabling the geographic expansions of ancestors to new environ- ments that provided opportunities for geographic differentiation, and diversification.
