The Leaf-Rollers (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) of Western Tuva, with Description of Cochylimorpha Arenosana Sp © Entomologica Fennica. 10 December 1998 The leaf-rollers (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) of Western Tuva, with 1 description of Cochylimorpha arenosana sp. n. > Vladimir I. Kuznetsov, Jukka Jalava & Jaakko Kullberg Kuznetsov, V. 1., Jalava, J. & Kullberg, J. 1998: The Leaf-rollers (Lepidop­ tera, Tortricidae) of Western Tuva, with description of Cochylimorpha arenosa­ na sp. n.- Entomol. Fennica 9: 197-209. A list of 145 species of the family Tortricidae, recorded from the western part of Tuva, is presented. The material studied originates from a joint Finnish­ Russian expedition made in June 1995. Additional data have been taken from Ukrainian, Russian and German literature. Cochylimorpha arenosana n. sp. from sand dunes of Northern Mongolia is described. Three species, Falseunca­ ria lechriotoma Razowski, 1970,Acleris idonea Razowski, 1972 and Eucosma argentifera Razowski, 1972-all described from Mongolia- are reported as new for Russia. From the total of 145 species 138 can be placed into three main zoogeographical complexes: Holarctic/Palaearctic about 83 %, Mediter­ ranean-Central-Asiatic about 10% and endemic for the mountains of Central­ Asia about 7%. The Holarctic complex can be divided into four chorological groups: Holarctic (22 spp.), Transpalaearctic (65 spp.), Western Palaearctic (12 spp.) and Eastern Palaearctic (13 spp.). Subalpine meadows and grazed steppes of Mongun-Taiga and the Tannu-Ola Mnts. are inhabited by some endemics of the Central-Asian mountains (11 spp.). Vladimir I.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • Contrasting Patterns of Karyotype and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Lepidoptera

Jindra Šíchová Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. František Marec, CSc. Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Entomology České Budějovice 2016 This thesis should be cited as: Šíchová J (2016) Contrasting patterns of karyotype and sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera. Ph.D. Thesis. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 91 pp. Annotation It is known that chromosomal rearrangements play an important role in speciation by limiting gene flow within and between species. Furthermore, this effect may be enhanced by involvement of sex chromosomes that are known to undergo fast evolution compared to autosomes and play a special role in speciation due to their engagement in postzygotic reproductive isolation. The work presented in this study uses various molecular- genetic and cytogenetic techniques to describe karyotype and sex chromosome evolution of two groups of Lepidoptera, namely selected representatives of the family Tortricidae and Leptidea wood white butterflies of the family Pieridae. The acquired knowledge points to unexpected evolutionary dynamics of lepidopteran karyotypes including the presence of derived neo-sex chromosome systems that originated as a result of chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss the significance of these findings for radiation and subsequent speciation of both lepidopteran groups.

Udbredt og almindelig i hele det nordlige og centrale Europa. Aethes cnicana & rubigana Aethes cnicana (tv.) er lysere, mere roligt tegnet og midtbåndet er næsten udelt. Aethes rubigana (th.) har delt midtbånd og den nederste del ender med et rundt hoved, der tydeligt bøjer udad mod apex. Midt- båndet er også tydeligt bre- dere og der er et tydeligt, bredt bånd af lidt mørkere skæl længere ude på vingen. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) 15-19 mm. Imago flyver i aftentimerne omkring foderplanterne i juli-august og kommer gerne til lys. Længere mod syd er der også en generation i maj-juni. Også hos denne art er der en del variation, men båndet er altid afbrudt. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) Larven lever i september-oktober i blomsterhovederne af Burre (Actium) og overvintrer i stængel/rodstok.

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).

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis.

Abstract: The region of South Transdanubia covers the south-western part of Hungary, a territory bordered by the Danube and Drava Rivers and the Lake Balaton. In the South-Transdanubia region the sub Mediterranean climate is most characteristic in the hilly area (150–682 m). The author revise the Tortricidae material housed in natural history collections in Hungary. Four species were identified as new records for the South Transdanubia: Cochylimorpha woliniana (Schleich, 1868); Cochylidia rupicola (Curtis, 1834); Cochylidia moguntiana (Rössler, 1864); Xerocnephasia rigana (Sodoffsky, 1829). The species are very locally and rare in Hungary. Several habitats have been destroyed or transformed so the species are endangered. Cochylimorpha woliniana flight begins early in May. Cochylidia rupicola only known in 8–10 localities on various habitats. We know little on Cochylidia moguntiana species. It has been collected from the beginning of the 20th century. One of the most interesting species of research is Xerocnephasia rig- ana. So far, little knowledge of the distribution and bionomy of the species have been reported. Most of the collecting sites are in the hills and mountain ranges but its occurrences are only sporadic in plains. The author has recently collected Xerocnephasia rigana in the southernmost mountainous region of Hungary, the Villány hills.
