Among thern, three species, Llypsopygia iwamotoi Kirp. & Yamanaka, fi. kawabei Yamanaka, and Bostra nanalis (Wilcrnan), are reported for the first time fOrm Korea. Photographs of adults, illustrations of .uenitalia of both sexes, host plants, and flight period are pro- vided. Key words Lepidotera, Pyralidae. Pyralinae, Pyralini, new record, Kerea. Introduction The subfamily Pyralinae belonging to the Pyralidae (Lepidoptera) comprises more than 900 species, which are mainly distributed in the tropical and Indo-Australian regions (Munroe & Solis, 1999). Many of them are notorious cosmopolitan pests of agricultural stored prod- ucts, and fbrest, such as R},ralis .farinalis (Linnaeus) (meal moth) and Aglossa dimidiata (Haworth) (tea tabby), The subfamily is distinguished from other subfamilies by the fo]- lowing morphological characters: ocel]i present or absent; chaetosema present; maxillary pa]pus present; Iabial palpus porrect or ascending; proboscis well developed; fbrewing with R5 stalked with R, and R,, hindwings Sc+R, approximatcly or anastomesing with Rs. The Pyralinae is divided into two tribes, Pyralini and Endotrichini. Two tribes are defined by the venation of the hindwing: in the Pyralini Rs is not anastomosed with Sc+R,, whereas it is anastomosed with Sc+R, in Endotrichini, In Korea, two species, Orrybina regatis (Leech) and 7legulijbra bicoloratis (Leech), were initially reported by Leech (1 889), and further four species were added in 1891. Subsequently, several species were added to the Korean fauna by the Japanese specialists, Okamoto (1924), Shibuya (1927, 1928), and Maruda (1929). A Korean specialist, Park (1976, 1983, I993) added two more species. Recently Bae (2001) briefly reviewed the subfamily, covering 25 species. In this anicle, the tribe Pyralini in Korea is reviewed, recognizing 21 species, among them, Ilypsopygia iwamotoi Kirpichnikova & Yamanaka, H. kaivabei Yamanaka, and Bostra nanatis (Willeman), which are recorded for the first time from Korea, Abbreviations used are as fOllows: CIS-Center for Insect Systematics, Kangwon National University; FRI-Forest Research Institute, Seoul; NIAST-National Institute of Agricultural Sciences Tbchnology, Suweon; UIB-Department of Biology, University of Incheon, Incheon.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

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.

In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.

    Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011

    Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011 Laura Sivell Graham Jones Stephen Palmer 1 Butterfly Recording Laura Sivell County Butterfly Recorder Record Format More recorders who have computers chose to send their records by email. This is certainly preferred for ease of data input. The new version of Levana now has an excellent import facility, that can convert pages of records in a few seconds. MS Excel, MS Works, or tables in MS Word or tab-text are all acceptable file types. It not only makes my life much easier, it is a joy to use! Please remember to include your name in the file name of your records. On days where several different recorders send a file called ‘butterfly records 11’, it’s chaos! It also helps if you include a header with your name on so that your printed records can be easily attributed to you. Woefully few people have taken this on board. Thanks to those that have, it takes so little to bring joy and relief to this poor recorder. Any recorders with computers but not currently sending their records electronically, please consider doing so. Even if you don’t have email, records can be sent on disc. The following format is ideal Joe Bloggs 12/5/10 SD423456 Pilling Moss Orange Tip 3 all females, eggs also seen Joe Bloggs 12/5/10 SD423456 Pilling Moss Green-veined white 4 Sheila Bloggs 14/9/10 SD721596 Hasgill Fell Small heath 2 mating pair Joe Bloggs 11/10/10 SD5148 Grizedale Speckled Wood C please don’t put m or f for male or female, or anything else, in the numbers column as it makes the programme crash.
