Seasonal distribution of moths of the Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in Ogongo, northern Namibia Grzegorz KOPIJ Department of Wildlife Management, University of Namibia, Katima Mulilio Campus, Private Bag 1096, Katima Mulilo, Namibia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: During the years 2011–2013, moths were collected in Koakoland (Mopane) Savanna in the Cuvelai Drainage System, Ovamboland, northern Namibia. In total, 77 species from 13 families have been identified. Their seasonal occurrence in this habitat was also investigated, with most species recorded in wet season between September and April, but with clear peak in February and March. The family Noctuidae was by far the most speciose (38 recorded species), followed by Crambidae (8 spp.), Sphingidae (6 spp.) and Arctiidae (4 spp.). All other families were represented by 1–3 species. For each species listed date of collection is given, and data on its global distribution. Key words: Lepidoptera, check-list, biodiversity, distribution, moths, Ovamboland INTRODUCTION According to recent quite precise estimate, there are 15 5181 species, 16 650 genera and 121 families of Lepidoptera worldwide (Pouge 2009). Lepidoptera fauna of Namibia has recently attracted attention of European entomologists. However, thorough surveys were conducted hitherto in a few areas only, such as Brandberg and Hobatere. The northern regions of the country were especially badly neglected. In southern Africa (south of Zambezi and Kunene Rivers) – 8 511 species, 2 368 genera and 89 families were recently catalogued (Vári et al.

The Eastern Arc Mountains (EAM) of Tanzania form an island-type archipelago of wet and cool rainforests widely separated by extremely hot and dry savannah. This paper reports novel phylogeographical analyses of the low-dispersing and forest-dependent Ty- poderus weevils in the Uluguru block of the EAM. One mitochondrial and two nuclear loci were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among 70 Typoderus specimens, 52 of them from 22 geographically diversifed Uluguru litter sifting samples. Various analyses consistently detected 11 geographically coherent Typoderus clades, six of them formed by the Uluguru specimens, where fve are taxonomically inter- preted as species: T. admetus sp.n., T. furcatus, T. peleus sp.n., T. polyphemus sp.n. and T. subfurcatus.

  • RECENT LITERATURE on LEPIDOPTERA (Under the Supervision of PETER F
    1955 The Lepidopterists' News 83 RECENT LITERATURE ON LEPIDOPTERA (Under the supervision of PETER F. BELLINGER) Under this heading are included abstracts of papers and books of interest to lepidop­ terists. The world's literature is searched systematically, and it is intended that every work on Lepidoptera published after 1946 will be noticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract. Readers, particularly outside of North America, interested in assisting with this very large task, are invited to write Dr. BELLINGER (University College of the West Indies, Mona, St. Andrew, Jamaica, B.W.I.).

ZooKeys 882: 87–125. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.882.36634 Abstract Lepidoptera is the second largest order of insects. Encompassing moths and butterflies, it is regarded as one of the most important components of biodiversity. Here, an updated comprehensive overview of Lepidoptera recorded in Ethiopia is presented, composed of 2,438 taxa in 48 families, of which 664 are endemic. Records were compiled from various literature sources and website databases. Although still being far from complete, this review provides important baseline data for understanding zoogeographic patterns and thus for undertaking effective conservation action. Further research on Ethiopian Lepidop- tera is encouraged. Keywords Africa, butterflies, checklist, DNA barcoding, endemic, Ethiopian moths Introduction Ethiopia is among the largest countries in the African continent, located in the horn of Africa, covering a total area of 1,127,127 km2 (Gordon and Carillet 2003; EBI 2015; Tesfu et al.

We used two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S ribo- somal RNA) and six nuclear genes (elongation factor-1a, carbamoylphosphate synthase domain protein, ribosomal protein S5, cyto- solic malate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and wingless). Data matrices (in total 5424 bp) were analysed by parsimony and model-based evolutionary methods (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference). Based on the results of the analyses, we present a new phylogenetic classification for Lymantriinae composed of seven well-supported tribes, two of which are proposed here as new: Arctornithini, Leucomini, Lymantriini, Orgyiini, Nygmiini, Daplasini trib. nov. and Locharnini trib.

A survey was undertaken to improve our understanding of the diversity and distribution of solifuges in Kenya and these data were supplemented by the solifuge holdings of the National Museums of Kenya (NMK), which were identified as part of this study. Historical records of each species found during this survey were verified through assessment of the primary literature and distributions were mapped for all Kenyan spp. A feeding study was conducted to determine preference between hard and toxic prey, and owl pellets from Tucson, Arizona were dissected to determine the importance of solifuges as prey.
