O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). 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. -

Newsletter 90
Norfolk Moth Survey c/o Natural History Dept., Castle Museum, Norwich, NR1 3JU Newsletter No.90 November 2016 INTRODUCTION With the flurry of activity through the latter part of the summer, it is easy to forget how cool, wet and frustrating the early part of the season often was. Opinion generally seems to suggest that, while the range of species seen was much to be expected, actual numbers of moths were down on the whole. However, one event during that early period brought the subject of moths to the attention of the media, both locally and nationally. This was the great invasion of Diamond- backed moths, Plutella xylostella, that took place at the very end of May and the first days of June. It would be no exaggeration to say that literally millions of these tiny moths arrived on these shores, with at least one commentator describing it as “...a plague of biblical proportion”. Several of us found ourselves answering queries and calls from a variety of sources in connection with this influx. Despite the dire warnings proffered by some sections of the media - and others, our cabbages weren’t totally obliterated as a result. In fact, the expected boost in numbers resulting from these original invaders breeding here, just didn’t seem to happen. In what might have otherwise been a distinctly average season, it is good to be able to report that twelve new species have been added to the Norfolk list this year. Amazingly, seven of these have been adventives, including one species new for the UK. -
Diversity and Ecology of Butterflies and Moths in Wadi Gaza, Gaza Strip, Palestine
International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 5, Issue 11, November 2015 707 ISSN 2250-3153 Diversity and Ecology of Butterflies and Moths in Wadi Gaza, Gaza strip, Palestine Zuhair .W. Dardona*, Ayman .W. Dardona**, Mohammed.A.Albayoumi * * Msc Microbiology ** Msc Limnology Abstract- Butterflies and moths were studied in regions of Wadi Gaza, extending from Salahe El-deen bridge west to Wadi Abo- Qatron near Wadi Gaza village to the east. The research is based on studying the diversity of butterflies and moths in terms of taxa diversity, Genera compositions, and family abundance. In terms of family abundance, the survey showed that all recorded butterflies are belonging to five main families (Pieridae, Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae). The recorded moths are also belonging to five families (Arctiidae, Crambidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae, Sphingidae). In terms of species and genera compositions and diversity, the survey revealed that butterflies are more abundant concerning diversity and richness than moths. The five families of butterflies are consisting of (19 genera) and (25 species) while the five families of moths are consisting of only (10 genera) and (11species).The butterflies represented (69 %) of recorded species in the area of study while the moths were represented in (31 %) of the findings. The most abundant family of butterflies is Pieridae with (36%) of all recorded butterflies, followed by Lycaenidae (32%). As for moths, the abundant families are Noctuidae, Geometridae, and Crambidae were each family was represented by (3 species), and they form (82%) of recorded moths. In this study all genera, in both moths and butterflies are represented only by one specie except six genera of butterflies and one genus of moths as each one is represented with two species, these six genera of butterflies are zizeeria,Vanessa, Colias, Pieris, Carcharodus, and Pointa and that genues of moths is Stemorrhages. -

The flight and baggage reclaim were equally problem free and we rapidly met our familiar guide, Turgay, at Larnaca airport. Our large and luxurious coach whisked us north, with a modest 20 minute delay for visa control at the border to North Cyprus. Because the re-timing of flights made a later arrival at Bellapais, we did the pre-holiday briefing via the coach microphone. At the Monastery Village Hotel, the smooth allocation of rooms meant we were soon enjoying a drink and sitting down to dinner. The group was surprised that we asked they order their breakfasts the previous evening, but this is a system tried and tested in previous years. Day 2 Sunday 23rd March The weather today was mainly sunny with a high of 24○c. Our early morning walk is always a short one from this hotel. -

K. Sanyal, P. Dey, V. P. Uniyal, K. Chandra & A. Raha Abstract The Geometridae Stephens, 1829 are considered as an excellent model group to study insect diversity patterns across elevational gradients globally. This paper documents 168 species of Geometridae belonging to 99 genera and 5 subfamilies from different Protected Areas in a Western Himalayan state, Uttarakhand in India. The list includes 36 species reported for the first time from Uttarakhand, which hitherto was poorly explored and reveals significant altitudinal range expansion for at least 15 species. We sampled different vegetation zones across an elevation gradient stretching from 600 m up to 3600 m, in Dehradun-Rajaji landscape, Nanda Devi National Park, Valley of Flowers National Park, Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, Gangotri National Park and Askot Wildlife Sanctuary.
