Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009
Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009 Fauna Conservation Department Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden 29 June 2010 Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden Publication Series: No 6 Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve moth survey 2009 Fung Yuen SSSI & Butterfly Reserve Moth Survey 2009 Executive Summary The objective of this survey was to generate a moth species list for the Butterfly Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest [SSSI] at Fung Yuen, Tai Po, Hong Kong. The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed. -

During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

An Annotated Checklist of the Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Indian Subregion
AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE COCCINELLIDAE (COLEOPTERA) OF THE INDIAN SUBREGION J. POORANI Project Directorate of Biological Control, P. B. No. 2491, H. A. Farm Post, Bellary Road, Bangalore 560 024, Karnataka, India E-mail: [email protected] / [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Introduction This checklist is an updated version of the annotated checklist of the Coccinellidae fauna of the Indian subcontinent published recently (Poorani, 2002a). This list includes the subfamily Epilachninae, which was left out of the earlier checklist. The Epilachninae portion has been compiled from the World Catalogue of Coccinellidae, Volume 1 (Jadwiszczak & Wegrzynowicz, 2003). Other changes, corrections, and additions since the publication of the original checklist also have been incorporated. Geographical scope: The geographical scope of this checklist covers the Indian subregion that includes India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Arrangement: The arrangement of the subfamilies is alphabetical for convenience, and does not reflect phylogenetic relationships. The tribes and genera therein also are arranged in alphabetical order, largely according to the classification of Chazeau et al. (1989; 1990). For all the genera, the original citation, synonyms in chronological order, the type species and list of species in alphabetical order are given. For the species, the most recent combination followed by the author name, original citation and synonyms, if any, in chronological order, are given. The type depository is given within parentheses after the name, wherever available. Most of the extralimital synonymies and other extended, lengthy synonymies, varieties and aberrations mentioned by Korschefsky (1931; 1932) are omitted unless subsequently changed.

Diesem Vorfahr kommen Eurypauropus und Pauropus am nächsten, die nicht als eine besondere Ordnung, sondern als eine zweite Unterordnung der Chilognathen neben den Ch. genuina anzusehen sind, und zwar vermittelt Eurypauropus den üebergang zu Polyxenus. — Scolopendrella ist kein Myria- pode, sondern ein Thysanure. — Palaeocampa, die Scudder zu einem Chilognathen gemacht hatte, ist wahrscheinlich eine haarige Neuropterenlarve.

Lepidoptera of a Raised Bog and Adjacent Forest in Lithuania
Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 63–67, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Lepidoptera of a raised bog and adjacent forest in Lithuania DALIUS DAPKUS Department of Zoology, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studentų 39, LT–2004 Vilnius, Lithuania; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Lepidoptera, tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species, communities, raised bog, wet forest, Lithuania Abstract. Studies on nocturnal Lepidoptera were carried out on the Laukėnai raised bog and the adjacent wet forest in 2001. Species composition and abundance were evaluated and compared. The species richness was much higher in the forest than at the bog. The core of each lepidopteran community was composed of 22 species with an abundance of higher than 1.0% of the total catch. Tyrpho- philous Hypenodes humidalis (22.0% of all individuals) and Nola aerugula (13.0%) were the dominant species in the raised bog community, while tyrphoneutral Pelosia muscerda (13.6%) and Eilema griseola (8.3%) were the most abundant species at the forest site. Five tyrphobiotic and nine tyrphophilous species made up 43.4% of the total catch on the bog, and three and seven species, respectively, at the forest site, where they made up 9.2% of all individuals. 59% of lepidopteran species recorded on the bog and 36% at the forest site were represented by less than five individuals. The species compositions of these communities showed a weak similarity. Habitat preferences of the tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species and dispersal of some of the species between the habi- tats are discussed. INTRODUCTION (1996).

Effect of Different Mowing Regimes on Butterflies and Diurnal Moths on Road Verges A
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 29.2 (2006) 133 Effect of different mowing regimes on butterflies and diurnal moths on road verges A. Valtonen, K. Saarinen & J. Jantunen Valtonen, A., Saarinen, K. & Jantunen, J., 2006. Effect of different mowing regimes on butterflies and diurnal moths on road verges. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 29.2: 133–148. Abstract Effect of different mowing regimes on butterflies and diurnal moths on road verges.— In northern and central Europe road verges offer alternative habitats for declining plant and invertebrate species of semi– natural grasslands. The quality of road verges as habitats depends on several factors, of which the mowing regime is one of the easiest to modify. In this study we compared the Lepidoptera communities on road verges that underwent three different mowing regimes regarding the timing and intensity of mowing; mowing in mid–summer, mowing in late summer, and partial mowing (a narrow strip next to the road). A total of 12,174 individuals and 107 species of Lepidoptera were recorded. The mid–summer mown verges had lower species richness and abundance of butterflies and lower species richness and diversity of diurnal moths compared to the late summer and partially mown verges. By delaying the annual mowing until late summer or promoting mosaic–like mowing regimes, such as partial mowing, the quality of road verges as habitats for butterflies and diurnal moths can be improved. Key words: Mowing management, Road verge, Butterfly, Diurnal moth, Alternative habitat, Mowing intensity. Resumen Efecto de los distintos regímenes de siega de los márgenes de las carreteras sobre las polillas diurnas y las mariposas.— En Europa central y septentrional los márgenes de las carreteras constituyen hábitats alternativos para especies de invertebrados y plantas de los prados semi–naturales cuyas poblaciones se están reduciendo. -
