Wimmer, Steyr, wird die Liste der von Zypern bekannten Mikrolepidopterenfauna um 35 Arten vermehrt und auf insgesamt 496 Taxa ergänzt. Schlüsselwörter: Insecta, Lepidoptera, Mikrolepidoptera, Systematik, Fauni- stik, palaearktische Region, Fauna Zyperns. First Supplement to the microlepidopteran fauna of Cyprus Abstract: The list of the species of microlepidoptera of Cyprus is increased from 461 species to 496 taxa now in total, especially by the collections of J. Wimmer, Steyr, Austria. Key words: Insecta, Lepidoptera, Microlepidoptera, systematics, faunistics, Palaearctic region, fauna of Cyprus. Einleitung Schon kurze Zeit nach Erscheinen der Zusammenfassung aller bisher ge­ meldeten Meldungen über die Mikrolepidopteren Zyperns (Arenberger 1995) liegen wieder zahlreiche noch unveröffentlichte Funde aus Zypern vor. Es handelt sich insbesondere um Aufsammlungen von J. Wimmer in den Jahren 1993-1995 in der Umgebung von Paphos. Die bisherigen Sam­ melergebnisse bezogen sich einerseits auf den Norden der Insel, der Um­ gebung von Kyrenia, und andererseits auf das gebirgige Zentrum im Troodos-Gebirge sowie das Küstengebiet des Südens (Karte siehe bei Arenberger 1995). Jetzt können auch Angaben über die Fauna des westli­ chen Teiles der Insel gemacht werden. Ergänzt wird der vorliegende Beitrag durch restliche Arten aus den Aus­ beuten K. Mikkolas und des Autors, die bei Arenberger (1995) nicht ein­ bezogen werden konnten, sowie einige Funde von R. Oswald, München. Der Dank der Autoren gilt vor allem den Spezialisten der einzelnen Fami­ lien, die in selbstloser Weise Bestimmungsarbeit geleistet haben. Es sind ©Entomologischer Verein Apollo e.V. Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at 210 dies die Herren Dr. G. Baldizzone, B. Bengtsson, Dr. R. Gaedike, Dr. L. Gozmany, Dr. P. Huemer, 0. Karsholt, Dr. J. Klimesch, S. Koster, Dr. E. J. van Nieukerken, Dr. K. Sattler, Dr. S. Sinev, E. Traugott-Olsen. Die Numerierung der einzelnen Arten bezieht sich auf die bei Arenber- ger (1995) verwendeten Zahlen. Bei neu dazugekommenen Arten wird die Numerierung fortgesetzt, und die Zahlen sind fett gedruckt.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 30, No. 1, 37–52, 2021, Zagreb. From 2016 to 2020 numerous surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the pyraloid moth fauna of Biokovo Nature Park. On August 27th, 2020 one specimen of Psorosa mediterranella (Amsel, 1954) from the family Pyralidae was collected on a small meadow (985 m a.s.l.) on Mt Biok- ovo. In this paper, the first data about the occurrence of this species in Croatia are presented. The previ- ous mention in the literature for Croatia was considered to be a misidentification of the past and has thus not been included in the checklist of Croatian pyraloid moth species. P. mediterranella was recorded for the first time in Croatia in recent investigations and, after other additions to the checklist have been counted, is the 396th species in the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna. An overview of the overall pyraloid moth fauna of Croatia is given in the updated species list.

Cerodontha iridis (Hendel, 1927) This leaf miner of iris species forms large conspicuous blotch mines which have a mottled appearance. It looks rather as if someone has tried to whitewash a leaf with a dirty paint brush! A good miner to look for in supermarket car parks, parks and gardens. Map © National Agromyzidae Recording Scheme Phytomyza hellebori Kaltenbach, 1872: This miner is found in Helleborus species, mostly in Stinking Hellbore (Helleborus foetidus), and is a good species to look for in your gardens and also in parks. The mines develop throughout the winter and are initially black and linear. As they develop they may form a blotch and then whiten as they age. The mines are very visible and several may Photo ©Rob Edmunds develop in a leaf. It was first discovered in the UK in 2000 and is Its current distribution is shown: spreading into the West and North from the southern counties. 1 Ragwort stems may hold a variety of puparia such as Melanagromyza aeneoventris (Fallén, 1823), Melanagromyza dettmeri Hering, 1933, Melanagromyza eupatorii Spencer, 1957 and Melanagromyza oligophaga Spencer, 1990. This Ragwort stem has been mined by Melanagromyza eupatorii and has the puparium in situ: Photo ©Rob Edmunds Phytomyza hellebori Carefully collect some stems and split from the bottom upwards. Take care that any puparia found do not ‘ping’ out of the stems as you open them up! Puparia, if present, are tiny cigar-shaped objects with very distinctive hooked posterior spiracles.

C. Lee 1, Stacey J. Anderson2, Lucy T. T. Tran-Nguyen3, Nader Sallam4, Bruno P. Le Ru5,6, Desmond Conlong7,8, Kevin Powell 9, Andrew Ward10 & Andrew Mitchell1 Lepidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. Sugarcane is the world’s most prolifc crop, and several stemborer species from the families Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Pyralidae attack sugarcane. Australia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity eforts are hampered by the difculty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. Here we assess the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. We review the current state of the COI barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. Sequences were from specimens collected and identifed in this study, downloaded from BOLD or requested from other authors. We performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the efectiveness of barcoding in this group. Seven species exhibited <0.03 K2P interspecifc diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. We identifed 24 instances of identifcation errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identifcation using barcodes. Instances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18S, 28S) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confrm species boundaries.

A total of 173 species is reported here, comprising 97 Crambidae and 76 Pyralidae. Based upon published data, 29 species appear to be new to the fauna of Serbia, 5 species are new to the fauna of Macedonia and 37 are new to the fauna of Albania. The data are discussed.

    Lepidoptera of the Tolman Bridge Area (2000-2011)

    LEPIDOPTERA OF THE TOLMAN BRIDGE AREA, ALBERTA, 2000-2011 Charles Bird, 8 March 2012 Box 22, Erskine, AB T0C 1G0 [email protected] The present paper includes a number of redeterminations and additions to the information in earlier reports. It also follows the up-to-date order and taxonomy of Pohl et al. (2010), rather than that of Hodges et al. (1983). Brian Scholtens, Greg Pohl and Jean-François Landry collecting moths at a sheet illuminated by a mercury vapor (MV) light, Tolman Bridge, 24 July 2003, during the 2003 Olds meetings of the Lepidopterist’s Society (C.D. Bird image). Tolman Bridge, is located in the valley of the Red Deer River, 18 km (10 miles) east of the town of Trochu. The bridge and adjoining Park land are in the north half of section 14, range 22, township 34, west of the Fourth Meridian. The coordinates at the bridge are 51.503N and 113.009W. The elevation ranges from around 600 m at the river to 800 m or so near the top of the river breaks. In a Natural Area Inspection Report dated 25 June 1982 and in the 1989 Trochu 82 P/14, 1:50,000 topographic map, the land southwest of the bridge was designated as the “Tolman Bridge Municipal Park” while that southeast of the bridge was referred to as the “Tolman Bridge Recreation Area”. In an Alberta, Department of the Environment, Parks and Protected Areas Division paper dated 9 May 2000, the areas on both sides of the river are included in “Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park”.

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.
