Contribution to the Lepidoptera Fauna of the Madeira Islands Part 2
Beitr. Ent. Keltern ISSN 0005 - 805X 51 (2001) 1 S. 161 - 213 14.09.2001 Contribution to the Lepidoptera fauna of the Madeira Islands Part 2. Tineidae, Acrolepiidae, Epermeniidae With 127 figures Reinhard Gaedike and Ole Karsholt Summary A review of three families Tineidae, Epermeniidae and Acrolepiidae in the Madeira Islands is given. Three new species: Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mauli sp. n. and A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) are described, and two new combinations in the Tineidae: Ceratobia oxymora (MEYRICK) comb. n. and Monopis barbarosi (KOÇAK) comb. n. are listed. Trichophaga robinsoni nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied T. abrkptella (WOLLASTON, 1858). The first record from Madeira of the family Acrolepiidae (with Acrolepiopsis vesperella (ZELLER) and the two above mentioned new species) is presented, and three species of Tineidae: Stenoptinea yaneimarmorella (MILLIÈRE), Ceratobia oxymora (MEY RICK) and Trichophaga tapetgella (LINNAEUS) are reported as new to the fauna of Madeira. The Madeiran records given for Tsychoidesfilicivora (MEYRICK) are the first records of this species outside the British Isles. Tineapellionella LINNAEUS, Monopis laevigella (DENIS & SCHIFFERMULLER) and M. imella (HÜBNER) are dele ted from the list of Lepidoptera found in Madeira. All species and their genitalia are figured, and informa tion on bionomy is presented. Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Übersicht über die drei Familien Tineidae, Epermeniidae und Acrolepiidae auf den Madeira Inseln gegeben. Die drei neuen Arten Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mauli sp. n. und A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) werden beschrieben, zwei neue Kombinationen bei den Tineidae: Cerato bia oxymora (MEYRICK) comb. -
Descripción De Nuevas Especies Animales De La Península Ibérica E Islas Baleares (1978-1994): Tendencias Taxonómicas Y Listado Sistemático
Graellsia, 53: 111-175 (1997) DESCRIPCIÓN DE NUEVAS ESPECIES ANIMALES DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA E ISLAS BALEARES (1978-1994): TENDENCIAS TAXONÓMICAS Y LISTADO SISTEMÁTICO M. Esteban (*) y B. Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos. Palabras clave: Biodiversidad; Taxonomía; Península Ibérica; España; Portugal; Baleares. ABSTRACT Description of new animal species from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands (1978-1994): Taxonomic trends and systematic list During the period 1978-1994 about 2.000 new animal species have been described in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. A complete list of these new species for 1978-1993, taxonomically arranged, and their bibliographic references is given in an appendix. -

Data are from 12 years field experience in the country and from Museums specimens. Some new species records are added to Ecuadorian fauna and it is presumed that at least a 10% more of new records will be obtained in the near future. Ecuadorian Pieridae, although in the past many taxa were described from this country, are far from being thoroughly known. One of the most prolific author was Hewitson (1852-1877; 1869-1870; 1870; 1877) who described many species from the collections made by Buckley and Simons . Some of the "Ecuador” citations by Hewitson are pointed out more precisely by the same author (Hewit son , 1870) in his index to the list of species collected by Buckley in remote areas uneasily reached even to-day (V ane -Wright, 1991). An important contribution on Lepidoptera of Ecuador is given by Dognin (1887-1896) who described and listed many new species collected by Gaujon in the Loja area, where typical amazonian and páramo species are included. -

The check list includes 216 species. The map of collecting localities is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Erebidae, Asia, Kazakhstan, Saur, fauna. INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately. -

[email protected] ABSTRACT During more than half a century, Luis Peña and later his collaborator Alfredo Ugarte, gathered all known butterfl y data and suspected Chilean specimens to publish their seminal book on the butterfl ies of Chile (Peña and Ugarte 1997). Their work summarized the accumulated knowledge up to the end of the 20th century. Since then much additional work has been done by the authors, resulting in the descriptions of numerous new species as well as establishing new species records for Chile, especially in the families Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae (Satyrinae). The list of these two families is still not com- plete, as several new species will be published soon and will appear in part II of this paper. The present work involving four families updates the Chilean list by: 1) describing one new species of Pieridae, 2) describing one new subspecies of Nymphalidae (Heliconiinae), 3) adding in total 10 species and two subspecies to the Chilean list. -

April 1987 Summary A comprehensive faunistic analysis of the Noctuidae-fauna of Bisamberg (350 m), a hill with pannonic climate in East-Austria, is presented. 263 different species were found and represent, as to owl-moths, one of the richest areas of Austria. Four different sources were used for providing this paper: 1) Light-catch-samples of the author at exposed steppe-areas in the south-west of the hill. 2) Data of the Prodromus of the Lepidopteran Fauna of Lower Austria (STERZL 1967). 3) The collection of Naturhistorisches Museum Wien. 4) Data from the Austrian faunistic project ZOODAT. Zusammenfassung Eine umfassende, faunistische Analyse der Noctuidenfauna des Bisambergs, einer 350 m hohen, pannonisch beeinflußten Erhebung im östlichen Österreich, wird vorgelegt. Mit 263 verschiedenen Arten erweist sich der Bisamberg als eine der eulenreichsten Gebiete Österreichs. Vier verschiedene Quellen wurden zur Erstellung dieses Faunenbeitrages herangezogen: 1. Lichtfangaufsammlungen des Autors an südwestlich exponierten Trockenrasen des Bisamberges. 2. Angaben des Prodromus der Lepidopterenfauna von Niederösterreich (STERZL 1967). 3.

The Phylogenetic Structure of Plant-Pollinator Networks Increases with Habitat Size and Isolation
S1 Supporting Information The phylogenetic structure of plant-pollinator networks increases with habitat size and isolation Marcelo A. Aizen, Gabriela Gleiser, Malena Sabatino, Luis J. Gilarranz, Jordi Bascompte, and Miguel Verdú Content Supporting Materials and Methods Tables S1-S14 Figures S1-S5 S2 Supporting Materials and Methods Landscape’s human transformation The fertile Austral Pampas’ region, where the study sierras are located, was effectively colonized by criollos of Spanish descent between 1820 and 1830, and the land divided among the first “estancieros”, whose main activity was cattle-raising. The transformation from pasture to cropland on the plains surrounding the sierras occurred at the end of the 19th century associated with the onset of the big European immigration to Argentina (Barsky & Gelman 2001). As it happened across the Pampas, a relatively diverse agriculture dominated by wheat was replaced, starting in the late seventies, by one monopolized by soybean (Aizen et al. 2009). Today the sierras emerge as true islands of diversity amidst a relatively uniform agriculture matrix (Fig. 1). Threshold distance Functional connectivity depends on the dispersal capacity of individuals. Thus, it is difficult to determine a priori the threshold distance below which two given habitat patches are expected to be "connected" based solely on theoretical expectations, particularly for community attributes. An empirical approach frequently used in landscape ecological studies is to identify the threshold distance that maximizes the variance explained by the correlation between a given connectivity metric and a population/community attribute (e.g. Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2002). We followed this approach by estimating the relation between phylogenetic signals in interactions and estimates of patch betweenness centrality for each of the 12 focal sierras (Table S1), considering threshold distances between 10 and 20 km (Table S2). -

KORB received 4.X.2012 Abstract: In the present paper data about 84 species of Noctuoidea, collected by our expedition in Tajikistan in 2011, are given (Erebidae: 7 species; Nolidae: 1 species; Euteliidae: 1 species; Noctuidae: 75 species). 28 species are recorded from this territory for the first time. Резюме: В настоящей работе приводятся сведения о 84 видах чешуекрылых ноктуологического комплекса, собранных нашей экспедицией в Таджикистане в 2011 году (Erebidae: 7 видов; Nolidae: 1 вид; Euteliidae: 1 вид; Noctuidae: 75 видов). 28 видов впервые приводятся для этой территории. In 2011 (13th-26th July) my friends, and myself, we participated in an entomological expedition to the Tajik Republic (about this expedition see Atalanta 43: 169-172). Here we report about the Noctuoidea species collected during this trip. The number of articles on the Noctuoidea fauna of Tajikistan is very low: GRUM-GRSHIMAÏLO (1890), FORSTER & ROSEN (1940), SHCHETKIN (1963, 1965, etc.), HACKER & PECks (1990), LEHMANN et al. (1998). Much more papers of the studied region do not exist, so the overall view (including zoogeography) of the Heterocera fauna is still very incomplete. Additional data can be extracted from numerous taxonomic papers (for example, in Esperiana, Atalanta, Nota lepidopterologica, etc.). -
A Primary Insight Into the Molecular Phylogeny of Colias FABRICIUS, 1807 (Pieridae, Coliadinae) Complex of South America
A primary insight into the molecular phylogeny of Colias FABRICIUS, 1807 (Pieridae, Coliadinae) complex of South America Alexander V. Kir’yanov Centro de Investigaciones en Optica Loma del bosque 115, Col. Lomas del Campestre, Leon 37150, GTO., Mexico [email protected] Abstract The data on molecular phylogeny of the Colias FABRICIUS complex of South America (SA), obtained via barcoding a mitochondrial part of genome, are reported. Barcoding was trialed employing the Barcoding of Life Database platform and comprised 93 specimens of SA Colias species and 2 outgroup specimens (C. philodice guatemalena RÖBER from North America). It is established that Colias species from SA form a single monophyletic clade, characterized by notable interspecific mutational divergences (3.5–4.5%) and moderate intraspecific ones (0.3–0.9%). It also reveals the occurrence of three well-established, or notably diverged genetically, species (C. dimera DOUBLEDAY & HEWITSON, C. vauthierii GUERIN-MENEVILLE, and C. alticola GODMANN & SALVIN stat. nov., the latter re-raised to specific level), plus a complex of three ‘emerging’ species (C. lesbia FABRICIUS, C. euxanthe FELDER & FELDER, and C. flaveola BLANCHARD), weakly differentiated in mitochondrial part of genome, with intersecting haplotypes. Furthermore, it disregards the specific status of taxa weberbaueri STRAND, mossi ROTHSCHILD, nigerrima FASSL, erika LAMAS, blameyi JÖRGENSEN, and mendozina BREYER, as certain evidences are being brought to consider them as subspecies of a clinal type of ‘super-species’ C. flaveola s. lat. The clade formed by all SA Colias is found to be sister to the clade that comprises all Colias species occurring outside the region (i.e. in Eurasia, North America, and Africa). -
Of Xerothermic Rock Swards in the Pieniny Mountains, Caused by Operation of Czorsztyn–Niedzica and Sromowce Wyżne Water Reservoirs

Dąbrowskiego 159, 60-594 Poznań, Poland 2Department of entomology, Agricultural university, ul. Dąbrowskiego 159, 60-594 Poznań, Poland Received: April 25, 2007 Accepted: October 23, 2007 Abstract the study presents the results of investigations on changes in groups of Noctuidae (lepidoptera) of xero- thermic rock sward ecosystems in the Pieniny caused by storage reservoirs in the Pieniny foothills, operating for over a decade now. A comparative analysis, taking into consideration exclusive characteristic species and indexes of similarity between groups investigated 40 years ago and at present (in 2003–06) at the same sites clearly shows that changes in the Noctuidae fauna are regressive in character only in the immediate vicinity of the water reservoirs and as the distance from a reservoir increases, the negative effect decreases until it disap- pears completely. Considerable regressive changes may be observed in the following spots: zielone Skałki (index of similarity), Niedzica Biała Skała (15.74) or Czorsztyn hill (22.86). in contrast, at present these changes are not observed on zamczysko (index of similarity 55.55) or Macelowa góra (53.3). Keywords: Pieniny, noctuids (lepidoptera, Noctuidae), ecosystems of xerothermic rock swards, chang- es after the construction of water reservoirs Introduction gained the status of a National Park as early as 1932 [3].
