Már egyetemi évei alatt megkezdődtek növény- és állatgyűjtő útjai, amelyek később az általa kezdeményezett expedíciókban csúcsosodtak ki. 1845- ig öt nagyobb szabású expedíciót küldött keletre, gyűjtői bejárták a Balkán- félszigetet és Nyugat-Anatóliát, és eljutottak a Kaukázusba is. Ezek során számos növény- és állatfajt fedezett fel. 1833-ban a Magyar Tudós Társaság levelező, majd 1838-ban rendes tagjává választotta. Eredményeiről a Társaság évkönyveiben számolt be magyar nyelven. 1850 után a megváltozott politikai helyzet miatt a Kárpát-medence faunájának feltárását tűzte ki célul, amelynek eredményeként monográfiája nem sokkal halála előtt 1865-ben jelent meg „Jellemző adatok Magyarország faunájához” címmel. Bálint Zsolt Imre Frivaldszky (* 1799: Bacskó, Hungary (today Bačkov, Slovakia) – † 1870: Jobbágyi, Hungary) originated from a noble family. From 1816 he studied at the University of Pest, unlike the custom of the age, he did not prepare for a military or legal, but for a medical career. In 1822 he was appointed as an adjunct (curator) of the Hungarian National Museum. The title of his university dissertation, Monographia Serpentum Hungariae, published in 1823, indicated that his interest had turned seriously to descriptive natural science. Already during his university years, his plant and animal collecting journeys began, which later culminated in the collecting trips he initiated. By 1845 he had sent five larger expeditions to the East, his collectors explored the Balkans and Western Anatolia, and the Caucasus. During these, he discovered many plant and animal species. In 1833 he was elected to be a corresponding member of the academic society Magyar Tudós Társaság, and in 1838 as a full member. Frivaldszky reported on his results in Hungarian in the society’s yearbooks. After 1850, due to the changed political situation, he set out to explore the fauna of the Carpathian Basin, resulted the monograph appeared shortly before his death in 1865 under the title “Characteristic Data for the Fauna of Hungary”. Zsolt Bálint Annls Mus. hist.-nat. hung. 112, 2020 VII Szerkesztői előszó Az Annales Musei historico-naturales Hungarici 112. évfolyamával visszatér a folyóirat elindítóinak eredeti szándékához. Így az évente egyszer megjelenő kötet szakcikkekben ad ízelítőt a gyűjteményekben és a különböző műhelyekben folyó tudományos munkákról, rávilágít egyes tudománytörténeti eseményekre, és az elhunyt munkatársakról méltó módon megemlékezik. A hagyomány csak akkor megtartó erejű, ha a kor eseményeit képes követni és magába ötvözni az újabb eredményeket. Ennek megfelelően a múzeumi évkönyv „hibrid” tudományos folyóiratként működik tovább. Az elektronikus megjelenés biztosítja a gyors és széles körű terjesztést, a hagyományos megjelenés pedig a hosszú távú archiválást. A múzeumi évkönyv ne csak a jelen eredményei és történéseinek tükre legyen, hanem a nagy elődök előtti tisztelgés fóruma is. Ezért a nyitó oldalon mindig egy nagy előd fényképe látható majd, akit születésének vagy halálának évfordulója kapcsán ünnepelhetünk. A kötetben pedig személyéhez kapcsolódó rövid „anniversalia”-k mutatnak rá tudományos munkásságára vagy idézik fel ma is fontosnak tartott eredményeit. Bálint Zsolt Editorial preface With the 112th volume of the Annales Musei historico-naturales Hungarici, the journal returns to the original intention of the founders. Thus, the volume, which is published once a year, gives a glimpse of the scientific works in the collections and various workshops in articles, highlights certain events in the history of science, and commemorates the deceased colleagues in dignitive manner. Tradition is only enduring if it is able to follow the events

Red Data list of the ”Bombyces et Sphinges” sensu lato of Hesse (as of November, 23rd, 1998) Abstract: According to present knowledge 189 species of the ”Bombyces et Sphinges” sensu lato are recorded to occur presently or have been recorded in the past in the Federal State of Hesse, Federal Republic of Germany. The status of endangerment as defined by the criteria based on the IUCN-categories is considered as following: 0 ( = extinct) 16 species; 1 ( = nearly extinct) 8 species; 2 ( = highly endangered) 12 species; 3 ( = endangered) 24 species. In 11 species the data is not sufficent for classification, but endangerment is highly probable due to their confinement to endangered biotopes. 6 species are declining but not actually endangered. In 6 species data is deficient because of taxonomic or methodic difficulties.

Volynkin, A. V. — Statuses of the lithosiinae genera Sesapa Walker, 1854 and Nipponasura Inoue, 1965 are revised, Sesapa is treated as a valid distinct genus and Nipponasura is downgraded here as a subgenus of Sesapa. Male and female genitalia of Sesapa and male vesica of Nipponasura are described and illustrated for the fi rst time. A new combination is established: Sesapa (Sesapa) sanguinea (Moore, 1877), comb. n. Sesapa (Nipponasura) inouei Volynkin, nom. n. is introduced as replacement name for Nipponasura sanguinea Inoue, 1965. Key words: Lithosiini, Nudariina, Asia, Japan, China, revised status, replacement name, new combination. Introduction Th e Asura / Miltochrista generic complex is one of the largest and taxonomically most diffi cult Lithosiini groups including several hundreds of species distributed in Afrotropical, Oriental, Palaearctic and Australian Regions. Systematics of the Oriental and partly Palaearctic members of the generic complex was reviewed by Holloway (2001), and those of the Afrotropical members by Durante (2008; 2009; 2012). Th e genus Sesapa was erected by Walker (1854) for a single species Sesapa inscripta Walker, 1854. Hamp- son (1900) synonymized it with Miltochrista, and at present several other taxa originally described as Sesapa by diff erent authors (Butler, 1877; Moore, 1877) are placed to the genera Miltochrista and Barsine (Holloway, 2001; Kirti, Singh, 2015).

  • Lepidoptera of a Raised Bog and Adjacent Forest in Lithuania
    Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 63–67, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Lepidoptera of a raised bog and adjacent forest in Lithuania DALIUS DAPKUS Department of Zoology, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studentų 39, LT–2004 Vilnius, Lithuania; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Lepidoptera, tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species, communities, raised bog, wet forest, Lithuania Abstract. Studies on nocturnal Lepidoptera were carried out on the Laukėnai raised bog and the adjacent wet forest in 2001. Species composition and abundance were evaluated and compared. The species richness was much higher in the forest than at the bog. The core of each lepidopteran community was composed of 22 species with an abundance of higher than 1.0% of the total catch. Tyrpho- philous Hypenodes humidalis (22.0% of all individuals) and Nola aerugula (13.0%) were the dominant species in the raised bog community, while tyrphoneutral Pelosia muscerda (13.6%) and Eilema griseola (8.3%) were the most abundant species at the forest site. Five tyrphobiotic and nine tyrphophilous species made up 43.4% of the total catch on the bog, and three and seven species, respectively, at the forest site, where they made up 9.2% of all individuals. 59% of lepidopteran species recorded on the bog and 36% at the forest site were represented by less than five individuals. The species compositions of these communities showed a weak similarity. Habitat preferences of the tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species and dispersal of some of the species between the habi- tats are discussed. INTRODUCTION (1996). Ecological terminology is that of Mikkola & Spitzer (1983), Spitzer & Jaroš (1993), Spitzer (1994): tyrphobiontic The insect fauna of isolated raised bogs in Europe is species are species that are strongly associated with peat bogs, unique in having a considerable portion of relict boreal while tyrphophilous taxa are more abundant on bogs than in and subarctic species (Mikkola & Spitzer, 1983; Spitzer adjacent habitats.

  • Harper's Island Wetlands Butterflies & Moths (2020)
    Introduction Harper’s Island Wetlands (HIW) nature reserve, situated close to the village of Glounthaune on the north shore of Cork Harbour is well known for its birds, many of which come from all over northern Europe and beyond, but there is a lot more to the wildlife at the HWI nature reserve than birds. One of our goals it to find out as much as we can about all aspects of life, both plant and animal, that live or visit HIW. This is a report on the butterflies and moths of HIW. Butterflies After birds, butterflies are probably the one of the best known flying creatures. While there has been no structured study of them on at HIW, 17 of Ireland’s 33 resident and regular migrant species of Irish butterflies have been recorded. Just this summer we added the Comma butterfly to the island list. A species spreading across Ireland in recent years possibly in response to climate change. Hopefully we can set up regular monitoring of the butterflies at HIW in the next couple of years. Butterfly Species Recorded at Harper’s Island Wetlands up to September 2020. Colias croceus Clouded Yellow Pieris brassicae Large White Pieris rapae Small White Pieris napi Green-veined White Anthocharis cardamines Orange-tip Lycaena phlaeas Small Copper Polyommatus icarus Common Blue Celastrina argiolus Holly Blue Vanessa atalanta Red Admiral Vanessa cardui Painted Lady Aglais io Peacock Aglais urticae Small Tortoiseshell Polygonia c-album Comma Speyeria aglaja Dark-green Fritillary Pararge aegeria Speckled Wood Maniola jurtina Meadow Brown Aphantopus hyperantus Ringlet Moths One group of insects that are rarely seen by visitors to HIW is the moths.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B. HOARE, MARIE-CLAUDE LARIVIÈRE, PENELOPE GREENSLADE, ROSA C. HENDERSON, COURTenaY N. SMITHERS, RicarDO L. PALMA, JOHN B. WARD, ROBERT L. C. PILGRIM, DaVID R. TOWNS, IAN McLELLAN, DAVID A. J. TEULON, TERRY R. HITCHINGS, VICTOR F. EASTOP, NICHOLAS A. MARTIN, MURRAY J. FLETCHER, MARLON A. W. STUFKENS, PAMELA J. DALE, Daniel BURCKHARDT, THOMAS R. BUCKLEY, STEVEN A. TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Frequency-Dependent Flight Activity in the Colour Polymorphic Wood Tiger Moth
    Current Zoology 61 (4): 765–772, 2015 Frequency-dependent flight activity in the colour polymorphic wood tiger moth †* † Bibiana ROJAS , Swanne P. GORDON , Johanna MAPPES University of Jyvaskyla, Centre of Excellence in Biological Interactions, Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences, PO Box 35, FI 40001, Finland Abstract Predators efficiently learn to avoid one type of warning signal rather than several, making colour polymorphisms un- expected. Aposematic wood tiger moth males Parasemia plantaginis have either white or yellow hindwing coloration across Eu- rope. Previous studies indicate that yellow males are better defended from predators, while white males have a positively fre- quency-dependent mating advantage. However, the potential frequency-dependent behavioural differences in flight between the morphs, as well as the role of male-male interactions in inducing flying activity, have not been previously considered. We ran an outdoor cage experiment where proportions of both male morphs were manipulated to test whether flying activity was frequency- dependent and differed between morphs. The white morph was significantly more active than the yellow one across all treatments, and sustained activity for longer. Overall activity for both morphs was considerably lower in the yellow-biased environment, suggesting that higher proportions of yellow males in a population may lead to overall reduced flying activity. The activity of the yellow morph also followed a steeper, narrower curve than that of the white morph during peak female calling activity. We sug- gest that white males, with their presumably less costly defences, have more resources to invest in flight for predator escape and finding mates. Yellow males, which are better protected but less sexually selected, may instead compensate their lower flight ac- tivity by ‘flying smart’ during the peak female-calling periods.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.
