Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

We were exceedingly fortunate to have such good and extended views of a Marsican Brown Bear on the first occasion we went looking! These are truly wild animals, never fed by humans, and any sighting of them or Wolves, which we did not see during the week but found plenty of evidence of in the form of scats, is a bonus. It was a late season, with the area having had a lot of snow and rain. We were very aware of the snow in Val di Rose, where we had good views of Abruzzo Chamois, and carpets of Spring Crocus and Alpine Squill where the snow was starting to melt. The orchids were also just coming into flower, and very fresh, and we saw more than we sometimes do. The unsettled weather meant there were fewer butterflies on the wing, but a fresh Baton Blue, Red-underwing Skippers and large numbers of hill- topping Scarce Swallowtails were a joy.

Abstract. Contribution to the knowledge of the lepidoptera of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Na- tural Park, Catalonia (Lepidoptera). The 2006 annual fieldtrip of the Societat Catalana de Lepi- dopterologia (SCL) took place on June 16-18 in La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park (PNZVG). Fifteen localities in the Natural Park and adjacent areas were studied, mostly at night using light traps. As a result of this fieldwork 305 species belonging to 33 families of lepidoptera were detected, among which Luquetia lobella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) and Pasiphila chloerata (Mabille, 1870) were first records for the Iberian Peninsula; other species were of biogeographical significance or because they had rarely been recorded in Catalonia before. Resum. La sortida col·lectiva de la Societat Catalana de Lepidopterologia (SCL) de l’any 2006 es va fer els dies 16 a 18 de juny, al Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa (PNZVG). Durant aquells dies es va fer un mostreig en 15 localitats del parc natural i de la zona perifèrica. Com a re- sultat d’aquest treball de camp es van detectar 305 espècies de 33 famílies de lepidòpters, entre les quals Luquetia lobella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) i Pasiphila chloerata (Mabille, 1870) se ci- ten per primer cop de la Península Ibèrica i altres espècies són interessants des del punt de vista biogeogràfic o perquè han estat rarament citades de Catalunya amb anterioritat.

  • BUTTERFLIES and MOTHS of HUNGARY: SOME FAMILIAR and LESS FAMILIAR SPECIES by Rob De Jong & Szabolcs Safián
    atropos31-070608e.qxp 6/11/2007 1:14 PM Page 17 BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS OF HUNGARY: SOME FAMILIAR AND LESS FAMILIAR SPECIES by Rob de Jong & Szabolcs Safián INTRODUCTION fter seven years of running a field centre (Farm Lator) in Bükk National Park in the north-east of Hungary, I would like to report my experiences with visiting A lepidopterists from Britain. The second author is the local specialist, occasionally leading the moth-trapping initiatives. In 2003, when I hosted a small group of English vis- itors, I started to look more closely at moths, having previously concentrated upon butterflies. The group brought some mobile light-traps and opened up a new world to me. In one week they recorded more then 400 species of macro-moth. I would like to recount some of the various species that have amazed our British guests over the years, many of them being rarities in Britain, extinct residents or immigrants. MOTHS Most of the moth-trapping takes place at our farm, which is sur- rounded by broadleaved woodland, interspersed with meadows, old orchards and unimproved farmland. The dominant trees are oak Quercus spp. and Hornbeam Carpinus betulus. 2003, as in other parts of Europe, was an exceptional year with some species being extremely abundant. Isle of Wight Wave Idaea humiliata. Bükk Hills, Hungary, In the first week of June I hosted an 9 July 2006 (Photo: D. Green). English group of lepidopterists. The traps produced 200 species on average each night. My personal amazement was rivaled by our visitors’. Lewes Wave Scopula immorata, Isle of Wight Wave Idaea humiliata, Many-lined Costaconvexa polygrammata, Spotted Sulphur Emmelia trabealis and Lesser Belle Colobochyla sali- calis are extinct in Britain, but each morning they were present in the traps.

  • Temporal Partitioning in an Assemblage of Insect Defoliators Feeding on Oak on a Mediterranean Mountain
    Eur. J. Entomol. 109: 55–69, 2012 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1680 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Temporal partitioning in an assemblage of insect defoliators feeding on oak on a Mediterranean mountain MARIA KALAPANIDA1 and PANOS V.

Insects feeding on the foliage of oak were studied on a mountain where species of Mediterranean deciduous and evergreen oak coexist. There were 58 insect species (54 Lepidoptera, 1 Coleopteran and 3 Hymenoptera) belonging to twenty families in the assemblage feeding on eight species of Quercus, two of which are introduced from nearby regions. The overlap in occurrence in time and of feeding niches of the insects feeding on the foliage of the different species of oak was determined using the: (a) Poole- Rathcke method, which tests phenological overlap and (b) Petraitis method, which tests niche overlap. This indicated that insect families partition seasonal time in a random and the entire assemblage in a regular way. All groups of insects partitioned season ran- domly except for the pairs of monophagous-oligophagous and Palearctic-Eurosiberian species, which partition season regularly. Oak folivorous insects correctly perceive the three subgenera of oaks with the exception of the planted Q. robur pedunculiflora. The folivorous insects recorded on the Mediterranean evergreen oaks (subgenus Sclerophyllodrys) differ from those on the other two sub- genera (Quercus and Cerris) and co-occurring deciduous trees.

The Macroheterocera (Lepidoptera) in the province of Malaga (Spain):urban centers and other lit places. Abstract: The result of sampling and point observations of macro moths in urban areas, and other places with some form of lighting in the province of Malaga is presented. 272 species have been observed, which added to the previously known totaling 338. Key words: Lepidoptera, Macroheterocera, faunistic, Malaga, Spain. INTRODUCCIÓN Desde antiguo es sabida la atracción que ejerce la luz artificial sobre buena parte de los heteróceros. Por ello, las trampas lumínicas son el método más frecuente para su captura. Otra técnica, usada en menor medida, es la revisión de alumbrados públicos. La búsqueda de heteróceros en alumbrados públicos es una buena manera de obtener datos, como queda reflejado en Moreno-Benítez (2015), donde aportan 236 especies de Macroheterocera del casco urbano de Mijas, y en Moreno-Benítez et al.
