Ray Morris The Forester Adscita statices is a day-flying moth with beautiful metallic blue-green wings. Its English name recalls the coats worn by foresters, rather than a liking for forests. It is most often seen in old meadows, where its foodplant Common Sorrel grows - such as Herbert’s Meadow and Lea Meadows in Charnwood. It usually flies in June. In recent years, good numbers have been seen at Rough Hill at Newtown Linford, with one or two turning up in nearby Bradgate Park. The moth is scarce both nationally and locally. Populations are small and seem to fluctuate precariously - Adrian Russell reports that not one was reported from Herbert’s Meadow in 2016, yet 2015 was as good a year as any for the Forester across the counties.

  • The Stilt Bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 21 June 2011 The stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway FRODE ØDEGAARD & ARNSTEIN STAVERLØKK Ødegaard, F. & Staverløkk, A. 2011. The stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 58, 27–32. We here present confirmed records of the six species of stilt bugs (Berytidae) occurring in Norway. Berytinus clavipes (Fabricius, 1775) is reported for the first time from Norway. Several new county records for the other species of Berytidae are also presented. All species are illustrated with pictures of specimens from Norway. The reported records of Berytinus affinis in Warloe (1925) have for a long time led to confusion about which species of Berytinus Kirkaldy, 1900 being present in Norway. Here, we show that these specimens actually belong to the common B. minor (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835). We conclude that it is not likely that more than these six species of Berytidae are to be found in Norway in the future. Key words: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Berytidae, Norway.

PROTI} Natural History Museum, P.O. Box 401, YU-11000 Beograd The totals of 21 and 17 species of Berytidae family have been established in the Balkan Peninsula and Yugoslavia respectively. An endemic species, Gampsocoris lilianae Josifov, was found in Bulgaria. New species for the fauna of Yugoslavia are: Apoplymus pectoralis Fieber and Gampsocoris culicinus Seiddenstücker. The paper particularly considers the arrangement of Serbia by regions and the distribution of species within regions, as well as their biodiversi- ty compared to the neighbouring countries of the Balkan Peninsula. KEY WORDS: Heteroptera, Berytidae, Yugoslavia, Balkan Peninsula INTRODUCTION The fauna of the Berytidae family in the Balkan Peninsula has not yet been treated as the sole subject of a single paper. There exist only faunisti- cal papers which consider the Berytidae together with other families (GÖLLNER-SCHEIDING 1978, HOBERLANDT 1955, HORVÁTH 1897, JOSIFOV 1964, 1965, PROTI} 1988/89, PUTCHKOV 1974, STICHEL 1955-1962). The most comprehensive data on the species of the Berytidae family can be found in the monograph of Euro-Mediterranean region (PÉRICART 1984). According to the available literature, a total of 21 species of the Berytidae family has so far been established in the Balkan Peninsula. An endemic species, Gampsocoris lilianae Josifov, was found in Bulgaria (JOSIFOV 1958).

Key words: true bugs, faunistics, biodiversity, ecology INTRODUCTION The family Berytidae belongs to the infraorder Pentatomomorpha, superfamily Lygaeoidea, and includes three subfamilies, i.e. Berytinae, Gampsocorinae and Metacanthinae (Péricart 2001). Representatives of the family Berytidae are small or medium-sized insects, reaching from 2.30 to over 16 mm in length. They are characterized by a narrow, highly elongated, rod- shaped body (except for some taxa occurring in the Americas) and highly elongated legs and antennae.
