Rutten, 2005. The genus Bryotropha Heinemann in the western Palaearctic (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). – Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 148: 77-207, figs. 1-422. [ 0040-7496]. Published 1 June 2005. The genus Bryotropha Heinemann in the western Palaearctic is revised for the first time. A to- tal of 36 species is recognised. Nine species are described as new: B. horribilis sp. n., B. italica sp. n., B. nupponeni sp. n., B. wolschrijni sp. n., B. heckfordi sp. n., B. phycitiniphila sp. n., B. sutteri sp. n., B. hendrikseni sp. n., and B. hulli sp. n. Representatives of two possible further species are described but, due to insufficient material, not formally named. One new combina- tion is introduced: Bryotropha sabulosella (Rebel, 1905) comb. n., and twelve new junior synonyms are proposed: B. tachengensis Li & Zheng is synonymised with B. rossica Anikin & Piskunov; B. glabrella Heinemann with B. desertella (Herrich-Schäffer), B. brevipalpella Rebel with B. plantariella (Tengström); Gelechia galbanella var. haareki Strand with B. galbanella (Zeller), B. cinnamomea Turati with B. figulella (Staudinger); B. mulinoides Amsel and B. zannonicola Hartig with B. pallorella Amsel; B. inexpectella Nel with B. plebejella (Zeller); B. saralella Amsel with B. dryadella (Zeller); B. dufraneella Joannis and B. novisimilis Li & Zheng with B. similis (Stainton), and B. ambisenectella Li & Zheng with B. svenssoni Park. The following taxa are transferred to the genus Stomopteryx Heinemann: B. subnigricella Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B. neftensis Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B. neftensis f. anomalella Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B. nigricella f. griseella Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.).

    23 6 REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSERVATION 6.1 Introduction A very few examples of the artificial habitats considered in this report have statutory protection as SSSI or LNRs, A few, not all the same ones, have good invertebrate records. None have good enough invertebrate records, as seen in the Introduction, to be able to define invertebrate "communities" by more than species lists and, cxcasionally, relative abundances of some species in a very few years. The importance of such habitats for biodiversity consewation is however substantial, as demonstrated above. Few Broad Habitat types could boast as inany as 12-15% of the list of nationally scarce and rare species, and no other for which no Key Habitat has been defined. The situation is therefore one in which we have the minimal knowledge needed to know how important the problem is and, so far, only the skeleton of a conservation strategy which will address it, Clearly we need to know more about the invertebrates, more about the sites concerned and have a better strategy for conservation. It is not easy to judge how to do this and to set the priorities in the right urder. In the following I leave aside the purely synanthropic species which are either controversial for conservation (such as specific parasites) or common species present as curiosities well outside their global range (such as camel crickets and the range of tropical pyralid moths which breed in aquatic nurseries). 6.2 lnvertcbratc surveys We know too little about the invertebrate faunas of artificial sites, in particular and in general, There are two consequences of this, First, important sites may disappear unknown because they have not been surveyed or have been inadequately surveyed.

SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Partial generic revision of Barbula (Musci: Pottiaceae): Re-establishment of Hydrogonium and Streblotrichum, and the new genus Gymnobarbula Jan Kučera,1 Jiří Košnar1 & Olaf Werner2 1 Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, Branišovská 31, 370 05 České Budějovice, Czech Republic 2 Departamento de Biología Vegetal (Botánica), Universidad de Murcia, Campus de Espinardo, 30100 Murcia, Spain Author for correspondence: Jan Kučera, [email protected] Abstract Large genera, that were defined using a restricted suite of morphological characters, are particularly prone to be polyphyletic. We analysed a representative selection of species traditionally assigned to the genus Barbula, believed to represent the largest genus of the moss family Pottiaceae, but which recently was suggested to be polyphyletic. Special attention was paid to species traditionally assigned to Barbula sect. Hydrogonium and sect. Convolutae, in which phylogenetic relationships are likely to be incongruent with morphological traits, which could have evolved in adaptation to hydric and otherwise extreme habitats. Our phylogenetic analysis was based on nrITS and chloroplast rps4 and trnM-trnV sequence data and resolved only the type of the genus, B. unguiculata, plus B. orizabensis, in subfamily Pottioideae, while most of the species occurring in the Northern Hemisphere are part of Trichostomoideae and need to be recognized within the re­established and partly re­defined genera Hydrogonium and Streblotrichum. The phylogenetically and morphologically divergent B. bicolor needs to be removed from Streblotrichum to a newly described genus, Gymnobarbula. Numerous taxonomic changes and nomenclatural novelties, resulting from the molecular, morphological and nomenclatural studies are proposed for taxa of Hydrogonium, particularly within the H.

  • Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera)
    Fund af småsommerfugle fra Danmark i 2018 (Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera) Otto Buhl, Per Falck, Ole Karsholt, Knud Larsen & Flemming Vilhelmsen Correspondance to: Småsommerfuglelisten, Zoologisk Museum, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 København Ø, Danmark, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article reports and comments on interesting Danish Microlepidoptera collected in 2018 and includes remarkable records from previous years. The classification and nomenclature follow the Danish checklist (Karsholt & Stadel Nielsen, 2013). Seven species are reported as new to the Danish fauna: 1) Micrurapteryx kollariella (Zeller, 1839) and 2) Caloptilia honoratella (Rebel, 1914) (Gracillariidae); 3) Dichomeris latipennella (Rebel, 1937) and 4) Scrobipalpa bryophiloides Povolný, 1966 (Gelechiidae); 5) Aethes bilbaensis (Rössler, 1877) (Tortricidae); 6) Hodebertia testalis (Fabricius, 1794) and 7) Cynaeda pustulalis (Hübner, 1823) (Crambidae). All were collected in one or two specimens with automatic light traps, apart from S. bryophiloides which was taken at light and H. testalis which was collected on sugar ropes. Stenoptilia veronicae Karvonen, 1932 replaces Stenoptilia eborinodactyla Zagulajev, 1986 in the Danish list. The introduced species Prays oleae (Bernard, 1788) is removed from the list as the only specimen recorded from Denmark belongs to Prays citri (Millière, 1873). The total number of Danish Gracillariidae is now 91, Gelechiidae 182, Tortricidae 395, and Crambidae 128. This results in a total of 1629 species of Microlepidoptera (families Micropterigidae–Zygaenidae + Pyralidae–Crambidae) found in Denmark. The total number of Macrolepidoptera species recorded from Denmark is 978, bringing the number of Danish Lepidoptera to a total of 2607 species. This is the 40th article in the series of yearly lists of Microlepidoptera from Denmark published in Entomologiske Meddelelser.

The arrangement who provided a series of descriptions of the then-known of families, genera and species is in alphabetic order for species, accompanied by coloured illustrations, as ease of access. Taxa known to occur in Taslnania ami Part III of J.D. Hooker's Botany of the Antarctic its neighbouring islands only are listed; those for Voyage. Although there have been a number of papers subantarctic Macquarie Island (politically part of since that time, two significant compilations were Tasmania) are not treated and have been presented published about the tum of the century.

Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
