Please forward it to Fortunately we were armed with both a few technical answers as well as a nice little others who have an interest in quiz to see if people could tell the difference - this was a set of about 30 pictures of butterflies & moths and who might both butterflies and moths along with a few wild cards of other things that looked a like to read it and be kept in touch bit like a moth.

The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden in Lublin As a Refuge of the Moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) Within the City
Acta Biologica 23/2016 | www.wnus.edu.pl/ab | DOI: 10.18276/ab.2016.23-02 | strony 15–34 The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden in Lublin as a refuge of the moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) within the city Łukasz Dawidowicz,1 Halina Kucharczyk2 Department of Zoology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Akademicka 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] Keywords biodiversity, urban fauna, faunistics, city, species composition, rare species, conservation Abstract In 2012 and 2013, 418 species of moths at total were recorded in the Botanical Garden of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. The list comprises 116 species of Noctuidae (26.4% of the Polish fauna), 116 species of Geometridae (28.4% of the Polish fauna) and 63 species of other Macrolepidoptera representatives (27.9% of the Polish fauna). The remaining 123 species were represented by Microlepidoptera. Nearly 10% of the species were associated with wetland habitats, what constitutes a surprisingly large proportion in such an urbanised area. Comparing the obtained data with previous studies concerning Polish urban fauna of Lepidoptera, the moths assemblages in the Botanical Garden were the most similar to the one from the Natolin Forest Reserve which protects the legacy of Mazovian forests. Several recorded moths appertain to locally and rarely encountered species, as Stegania cararia, Melanthia procellata, Pasiphila chloerata, Eupithecia haworthiata, Horisme corticata, Xylomoia graminea, Polychrysia moneta. In the light of the conducted studies, the Botanical Garden in Lublin stands out as quite high biodiversity and can be regarded as a refuge for moths within the urban limits of Lublin. -

W badaniach wykorzystano 10 żółtych pułapek Moerickego, do których odławiano imagines Ichneumonidae. W latach 2012–2013 z terenu ogrodu pobrano 410 prób. Odłowiono 58 osobników należących do podrodziny Pimplinae, które oznaczono do 21 gatunków. Stanowiły one 15,9% fauny Polski oraz 28,2% gatunków wykazanych z Wielkopolski. Odłowiono także jeden gatunek Podoschistus scutellaris (Desv.), który należał do podrodziny Poemeniinae. W badanym środowisku stwierdzono dominację gatunku Pimpla contemplator (Muell.), który jest endoparazytoidem poczwarek Lepidoptera i Hymenoptera. Po raz pierwszy z Wielkopolski wykazano gatunek Piogaster albina Perkins.

The park’s saproxylic beetle fauna, associated with dead wood and veteran trees, can be considered as nationally important. True flies associated with decaying wood add further significant species to the site’s saproxylic fauna. There is also a strong -

Al-Saffar Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq Corresponding author: [email protected] Received Date:27 March 2018 Accepted Date:30 April 2018 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to survey and make to revision the genera and species of Chloropidae fauna of Iraq. The investigation showed four species belonging four genera, which belongs to two subfamilies, and one unidentified species belonging to the genus Elachiptera Maquart, The specimens were compared with stored insects at Department of Entomology and invertebrates, Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum. Key words: Brachycera, Chloropidae, Diptera, Eye fly, Grass fly, Iraq. INTRODUCTION The family Chloropidae Schoenher,1840 (frit flies, grass flies or eye flies) belongs to super family Carnoidea. It has four subfamilies: Chloropinae, Oscinellinae, Rhodesiellinae, and Siphonellpsinae (Brues et al.,1954). The members of Chloropidae are worldwide distribution or cosmopolitan and are found in all Zoogeographical regions except Antarctica; they are about 3000 described species under 200 genera (Sabrosky,1989; Canzoneri, et al., 1995; Nartshuk, 2012; Bazyar et al., 2015). The grass flies are also found in marshes, vegetation areas, forests; the members of the family are phytophagous. Some species as a gall maker of stems likes Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830 on Phragmites australis (Poaceae) are affected on the morphological tissue (Van de Vyvere and De Bruyn, 1988); and many larvae feed and developed flower heads, shoots and seeds of Poaceae and some feed on the stems of cereals, thus affected of economic production (Alford,1999; Karpa, 2001;Petrova et al., 2013). -
