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. -

Brachyptery and Aptery in Lepidoptera
Vol. 2 No. 1 1991 HEPPNER: Brachyptery 11 TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA, 2(1): 11-40 BRACHYPTERY AND APTERY IN LEPIDOPTERA J. B. HEPPNER1 Florida State Collection of Arthropods Bureau of Entomology, DPI, FDACS, P.O. Box 147100, Gainesville, FL 32614, USA ABSTRACT.- The conditions of wing reduction (brachyptery) and loss of wings (aptery), and modifications thereof, are reviewed across all known families of Lepidoptera where this has been observed in either males or females, or both sexes. Brachyptery or aptery is known in 35 families of Lepidoptera, including families or species where a kind of brachyptery is only evident as extreme wing reduction of the hind wings. Examples from most families known to have brachyptery of some form are illustrated among 147 figures.

Brachyptery (wing reduction) or aptery (loss of wings) is an unusual phenomenon in adults among several orders of insects (La Greca, 1954). In Lepidoptera, brachyptery has been reviewed -

www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Large‑scale comparative analysis of cytogenetic markers across Lepidoptera Irena Provazníková 1,2,3, Martina Hejníčková 1,2, Sander Visser 1,2,4, Martina Dalíková 1,2, Leonela Z. Carabajal Paladino 5, Magda Zrzavá 1,2, Anna Voleníková 1,2, František Marec 2 & Petr Nguyen 1,2* Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) allows identifcation of particular chromosomes and their rearrangements. Using FISH with signal enhancement via antibody amplifcation and enzymatically catalysed reporter deposition, we evaluated applicability of universal cytogenetic markers, namely 18S and 5S rDNA genes, U1 and U2 snRNA genes, and histone H3 genes, in the study of the karyotype evolution in moths and butterfies. Major rDNA underwent rather erratic evolution, which does not always refect chromosomal changes. In contrast, the hybridization pattern of histone H3 genes was well conserved, refecting the stable organisation of lepidopteran genomes. Unlike 5S rDNA and U1 and U2 snRNA genes which we failed to detect, except for 5S rDNA in a few representatives of early diverging lepidopteran lineages. To explain the negative FISH results, we used quantitative PCR and Southern hybridization to estimate the copy number and organization of the studied genes in selected species. The results suggested that their detection was hampered by long spacers between the genes and/or their scattered distribution. Our results question homology of 5S rDNA and U1 and U2 snRNA loci in comparative studies. We recommend the use of histone H3 in studies of karyotype evolution. Cytogenetic studies aim at characterization of genome organization and its changes. Previously indispensable for the identifcation of genes of interest, cytogenetics may seem to struggle in the post-genomic era as it lags behind the resolution of molecular biology and genomics. -

Mgr. Thesis, in Czech.] 53 p., Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. Annotation: Due to their phylogenetic position, Psychidae play an important role in the investigation of the W chromosome origin in Lepidoptera. Several species of Psychidae were tested for the presence of sex-chromatin and investigated via comparative genomic hybridization. Furthermore, odd chromosome numbers and a Z univalent were observed in females. Overall, this study brings tangible evidence for the absence of the W chromosome in Psychidae, thus contributes to complex knowledge of the W chromosome evolution. In addition, karyotypes of the given species were analyzed using 18S rDNA and histone H3 probes. The results indicate relative stability of their karyotypes.

A Molecular Phylogeny and Revised Classification for the Oldest Ditrysian
Systematic Entomology (2015), 40, 409–432 DOI: 10.1111/syen.12110 A molecular phylogeny and revised classification for the oldest ditrysian moth lineages (Lepidoptera: Tineoidea), with implications for ancestral feeding habits of the mega-diverse Ditrysia JEROME C.

The Tineoidea are the earliest-originating extant superfamily of the enor- mous clade Ditrysia, whose 152 000+ species make up 98% of the insect order Lepi- doptera. Though more diverse than all non-ditrysian superfamilies put together (3719 vs 2604 species), the tineoids are not especially species-rich among ditrysian super- families. Their phylogenetic position, however, makes tineoids potentially important for understanding the causes of ditrysian hyperdiversity, through their effect on inferences about the traits of ancestral ditrysians. To reconstruct early ditrysian evolution, we need a firmly established ground plan for tineoids themselves, which in turn requires arobust knowledge of their biodiversity and phylogeny. Tineoid systematics is under-studied. The description of the world fauna remains very patchy, especially in the largest family, Tineidae, and phylogenetic studies within and among families have been few. -

Jana III Sobieskiego 2, 41-902 Bytom, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The paper presents the species of bagworm moths (Psychidae) in the collection of the Upper Silesian Museum, Bytom, Poland. A total of 3,994 specimens from 34 species has been identified and listed. Most of the material was collected between 1900 and 2015 in the southern part of Poland; a small proportion was collected elsewhere in Poland, in other European countries and Australia. The type material with the holotype of a female, paratypes of females, cases and larvae of the parthenogenetic bagworm moth Reisseronia imielinella MALKIEWICZ, SOBCZYK & LARYSZ, 2013 is deposited in the collection of the Upper Silesian Museum (USMB). Key words: Lepidoptera, Psychidae, Poland, Europe, Australia, type material, Upper Silesian Museum collection, Bytom. INTRODUCTION For many years, the rich and valuable entomological collections in the Natural Resources Department of the Upper Silesian Museum, Bytom, have been the object of study and research on the part of entomologists. The work of many specialists has resulted in the description of different, unique collections and individual taxonomic groups of insects (SmreczyńSki 1932, STOBIECKI 1939, MAKÓLSKI 1952, MROCZKOWSKI 1955, SZUJECKI 1958, SZYMCZAKOWSKI 1959, BIELEWICZ 1963, SZUJECKI 1968, MAZUR 1973, BIELEWICZ 1978, DOBOSZ 1989, BOROWIEC 1992, LiS B. 1993, WiśnioWSki 1994, PiotroWSki & SzołtyS 2007a, 2007b, WiśnioWSki & Strumia 2007, króLik 2008, Greń 2009, 2011, DoBoSz 2011).
