Los ejemplares estudiados han sido capturados en el Valle de Arán, en el Pi- rineo de Lérida, donde vuela a finales de octubre. PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Psaphidinae, Allophyes corsica, Pirineos, Lérida, España. Allophyes corsica (Spuler, 1908) new species for the fauna of Spain (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Psaphidinae) Abstract The first record of the noctuid Allophyes corsica (Spuler, 1908) is reported from the Iberian Peninsula, increa- sing its known distribution. The specimens studied have been captured in the Valle de Arán in the Pyrenees, flying at the end of October. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Psaphidinae, Allophyes corsica, Pyrenees, Lerida, Spain. Introducción Allophyes corsica (Spuler, 1908) es un noctuido de la subfamilia Psaphidinae con distribución Pi- reno-Tirrénica. Su área de localización es Córcega, Cerdeña, Sicilia, el sur y este de Italia continental y una estrecha franja en el sudeste de Francia, al norte de los Pirineos Orientales (RONKAY et al., 2001). Los adultos del género Allophyes Tams, 1942 presentan un gran parecido morfológico, excepto en la longitud de la pectinación de las antenas en alguno de los taxones, por lo que es imprescindible el es- tudio de sus genitalias. A. corsica fue inicialmente descrita por Spuler como Miselia oxycanthae v. corsica con ejemplares procedentes de Córcega; posteriormente la especie fue descrita como A. protai (BOURSIN, 1967) y A. protai dujardini (BOURSIN, 1968), aunque las poblaciones italianas recibirían el nombre de A. protai parenzani (DE LAEVER, 1976). BERIO (1985) consideró que A. protai era sinonimia de A. corsica, diferenciando dos subespecies: A. corsica protai para los ejemplares de Cerdeña y A. corsica corsica para los de Córcega y, posteriormente, BERIO (1986) confirmó la presencia de A. corsica en el sureste de Francia y en los Pirineos Orientales. MAZEL (1991) resaltó la elevada variabilidad en las estructu- ras genitales en el género Allophyes y la dificultad de separar adecuadamente las diferentes subespecies en el sur de Francia y los Pirineos. RONKAY et al., (2001) propusieron dos subespecies de A. corsica: A. corsica corsica (Spuler, 1908) que ocuparía el área al norte de los Pirineos, Córcega y Cerdeña, y A. corsica parenzani de Laever, 1976, distribuida por el sur de Italia y Sicilia. 615 615-618 Allophyes corsica (Spul 26/11/14 11:10 Página 616 J. J. GUERRERO, M. GARRE, R. M. RUBIO & A. S. ORTIZ A. corsica es una especie univoltina, que vuela desde mediados de octubre hasta finales de diciem- bre en una gran variedad de hábitats como zonas secas y cálidas, claros de bosques, robledales y laderas rocosas cubiertas de matorral, en cotas bajas de áreas montañosas, etc. Las primeras fases de su ciclo biológico son desconocidas aunque probablemente deben ser similares a las de otras especies del mis- mo género (RONKAY et al., 2001). La finalidad del presente trabajo es confirmar la presencia de Allophyes corsica corsica en la fau- na ibérica. Material y métodos Los ejemplares A. corsica fueron capturados en un medio urbanizado, atraídos por la iluminación del entorno en una noche con temperaturas suaves. El paisaje natural próximo se encuentra fuertemente antropizado, dominado por prados de siega, bosques de galería, brezales y robledales de Quercus robur. Dicho material está depositado en la colección del Laboratorio de Biología Animal del Departa- mento de Zoología y Antropología Física de la Universidad de Murcia (Figura 1) y ha sido identificado mediante el estudio comparado de las estructuras genitálicas con A. oxycanthae y A. alfaroi (Figura 2). Material estudiado Allopyes corsica (Spuler, 1908): Lérida: Bossòt, UTM 31TCH13, 710 m., 1 0 y 1 1, 27-X-2004 (M. Garre leg.). Allopyes oxycanthae (Linnaeus, 1758): Liege, Bélgica: Strivay, 1 0, 10-X-1978; Strenpas, 1 1, 15-X- 1982 (J. Calle col.). Allopyes alfaroi Agenjo, 1951: Cuenca: Laguna del Marquesado, UTM 30TXK15, 1.405 m., 1 0, 5-XI- 2010; Dehesa de Huélamo, UTM 30TWK95, 1.280 m., 1 1, 5-XI-2010 (J. J. Guerrero leg.). Resultados y discusión La presencia de Allophyes corsica (Spuler, 1908) en el Valle de Arán es una consecuencia del pa- trón de distribución de la especie en el sureste de Francia, desde el departamento de Roussillon a los Pi- rineos Orientales. La especie podría convivir de forma simpátrica con A. alfaroi, ya que se han estudia- do ejemplares de A. alfaroi capturados en la vertiente sur del Pirineo y en localidades cercanas al Valle de Arán. La presencia de A. corsica en el Valle de Arán aconseja revisar los ejemplares capturados en las zonas próximas para delimitar las zonas de contacto con A. alfaroi.

La structure génétique du peuple- ment est donc celle d'une espèce unique. Les formes de type «corsica-protai» du sud-ouest de la France et du Roussillon sont intermédiaires entre A. oxy- acanthae oxyacanthae (L.) et A. oxyacanthae alfaroi Ag. d'Espagne. Zusammenfassung Männliche Genitalien der Gattung Allophyes weisen zusammenhängende geo- graphische Abweichungen sowie Neuverbindungen auf, die im Südwesten Europas auf einen uneingeschränkten Genaustausch hinweisen. Die genetische Struktur des Bestandes erweist sich damit als die einer einzigen Art. Die im Südwesten Frankreich sowie im Roussillon auftretenden Formen vom Typus «corsica-protai» sind Mittelarten zwischen A. oxyacanthae oxyacanthae (L.) und A. oxyacanthae alfaroi Ag. auf Spanien. Summary The male genitalia of the genus Allophyes exhibit a continuous geographical variation which indicates, at least in south-west Europe, an unrestricted gene- flow. The genetic make-up of these populations is therefore of a single species.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

  • Climate Change and Shifts in the Distribution of Moth Species in Finland, with a Focus on the Province of Kainuu

Benno Meyer-Rochow3,4 1Kaitoväylä 25 A 6; SF-90570 Oulu; 2Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Kainuu, Kajaani, 3Faculty of Engineering and Sciences, Jacobs University Bremen, Research II, D-28759 4Bremen and Department of Biology; Oulu University; SF-90014 Oulu, 1,2,3Finland 4Germany 1. Introduction Distributions and abundances of insect species depend on a variety of factors, but whether we focus on food plants and availability, environmental niches and shelters, predators or parasites, by far the most important limiting factor is climate. Shifts in insect community structure have successfully been correlated with glacial and inter-glacial periods (Coope 1995; Ashworth 1997; Morgan 1997), but have also attracted the attention of researchers concerned with current climate trends. Parmesan (2001) and Forester et al. (2010) examined examples from North America and Europe and emphasized that predictions of responses to a warmer climate must incorporate observations on habitat loss or alteration, land management and dispersal abilities of the species in question. For the United Kingdom, Hill et al. (2001) have summarized data on changes in the distribution of specifically three butterfly species (Pararge aegeria, Aphantopus hyperantus, and Pyronia tithonus). These authors report that the three species have been shifting northward since the 1940s and they present maps of simulated butterfly distributions for the period 2070-2099, based on the changes seen since the 1940s. According to that scenario Iceland will see some colonies of these three species in less than a hundred years.

Shahreyari-Nejad, M. Esfandiari, A. Rasekh, M. S. Mossadegh & A. Shirvani Abstract Noctuidae species are mostly plant feeding as caterpillars and nectar feeding as adults, functioning as herbivores, pollinators and prey, as well as include many species of economic importance. Here we intended to contribute to the fauna of seven Noctuidae subfamilies Metoponinae, Eustriotinae, Acontiinae, Cuculliinae, Oncocnemidinae, Psaphidinae and Eriopinae in some Iranian provinces. Numerous samplings were carried out in Khuzestan, Ilam, Fars, Kerman, and Khorasan-e Razavi provinces. A total of 31 Noctuidae taxa were collected and identified, among which there are 22 new provincial records from Kerman, Khuzestan, Fars and Ilam provinces. The species Oncocnemis rhodophaea Ebert, 1978 and nominotypical subspecies Asteroscopus syriaca (Warren, 1910) are newly reported for the fauna of Iran.
