Cucullia Lactucae (Denis & Schifferntüller, 1775), Nieuw Voor De Nederlandse Fauna (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) ENTOMOLOGISCHE BERICHTEN, DEEL 46, I.IV. 1986 59 Cucullia lactucae (Denis & Schifferntüller, 1775), nieuw voor de Nederlandse fauna (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) door B. J. LEMPKE Instituut voor Taxonomische Zoölogie (Zoölogisch Museum), Amsterdam ABSTRACT. — Cucullia lactucae (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775), new to the Netherlands fauna (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). In 1984 a specimen of this moth was taken in the central part of Netherlands Limburg. Op de wintervergadering van 23.1.1985 te Ede liet de heer C. Ottenheijm me een donkere Cucullia zien die 18.VI. 1984 door de heer G. Bol op de muur van zijn garage te Velden (ten noorden van Venlo) was aangetroffen. Er was geen twijfel aan dat de vlinder tot een soort be¬ hoorde die nog nooit eerder uit Nederland was vermeld. De heer Ottenheijm vermoedde dat het een exemplaar van Cucullia campanulae Freyer was. Deze behoort tot een groep van don¬ kere soorten die veel op elkaar lijken en waarvan vaak alleen door nauwkeurige vergelijking is uit te maken met welke men te doen heeft. Ik stelde daarom voor het exemplaar mee te nemen naar Amsterdam. Bij vergelijking met het materiaal in de collectie van het Instituut voor Taxonomische Zoölo¬ gie aldaar waren de collectiebeheerder, de heer W. Hogenes, en ik het er al gauw over eens dat het exemplaar niet een C. campanulae was. De enige soort waarmee de tekening van de voorvleugels overeenstemde was C. lactucae. De kleur van de voorvleugels van deze soort wordt beschreven als donkergrijs, bij het 9 donkerder dan bij het <3. Het in Limburg gevangen 9 is extreem donker, bijna zwart, maar de tekening is nog goed zichtbaar. Overigens maak ik de heer Ottenheijm wel mijn compliment dat hij zonder vergelijkingsmateriaal zo dicht bij de goede soortnaam gekomen was. Cucullia lactucae, 9 , Velden, 18.VI. 1984. x IV2. Foto J. Huisenga. Inmiddels had de heer J. Huisenga de vlinder gefotografeerd en een afdruk van de foto stuurde ik naar de heer H. Kinkier te Leverkusen (BRD), die onze determinatie bevestigde. Bovendien schreef deze, dat lactucae meermalen in Rijnland aangetroffen was (maar dan wel het laatst in 1965), doch C. campanulae nog nooit. (Ook in geen van de andere omringende gebieden is deze soort waargenomen). Uit België zijn enkele oude vangsten van lactucae bekend. Derenne (1928) meldt een vangst bij Torgny, terwijl Hackray & Sarlet (1977) schrijven dat in de twintiger jaren twee exempla¬ ren te Virton en te St. Mard gevangen zijn. In Denemarken werd het eerste exemplaar in 60 ENTOMOLOGISCHE BERICHTEN, DEEL 46, I.IV. 1986 VIL 1951 op Bornholm op licht gevangen en ook daarna is de vlinder er enkele malen aange¬ troffen en werden zelfs rupsen gevonden, terwijl in 1954 ook exemplaren in midden Jutland voorkwamen (Hoffmeyer, 1962). Ook in 1976 en 1981 werd lactucae weer op Bornholm gevan¬ gen (Kaaber, 1977, 1982). In Engeland werd in 1900 een lactucae gekweekt uit een rups of pop, die in 1899 te Oxford gevonden zou zijn, maar de juistheid van de vindplaats wordt sterk betwijfeld (zie Bretherton, Goater & Lorrimer, 1983). De vlinder kan in elk geval tot ver in het noorden doordringen. Hij is bekend uit Noorwegen, Zweden en Finland. Nordstrom (1938) vermeldt lactucae voor Zweden als tamelijk zeldzaam zonder verdere bijzonderheden. Hij geeft ook een uitvoerige beschrijving van de rups die op pl. 50, fig. 7 fraai in kleur is afge- beeld. De rupsen leven op de bloemen van verschillende Composieten. Urbahn (1939) noemt Muursla (Mycelis muralis (L.) Dum.) en Gewone melkdistel (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Ook Pre- nanthes purpurea L., maar die is slechts als adventief uit Nederland bekend. Nordstrom ver¬ meldt Schermhavikskruid (Hieracium umbellatum L.). Maar waarschijnlijk is het menu uitge- breider. De heer C. Ottenheijm wordt bedankt voor zijn toestemming het exemplaar mee te nemen naqr Amsterdam, de heer W. De Prins (Antwerpen) voor zijn inlichtingen over het voorkomen van C. lactucae in België en de heer J. Huisenga voor de fraaie foto. Und schließlich danke ich Herrn H. Kinklër.

Entomol. Fennica 29: 8696. Pseudogonalos hahnii is the only known species of Trigonalidae in Europe. It is a hyperparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae via ichneumonid primary parasitoids. Possibly, it has also been reared from a symphytan larva. We report the species for the first time from Estonia, Lithuania and Russian Fennoscandia, and list all known observations from Finland and Latvia. An overview of the biology of the species is presented with a list of all known host records. S. Väänänen, Vantaa, Finland; E-mail: [email protected] J.

Dąbrowskiego 159, 60-594 Poznań, Poland Received: April 25, 2007 Accepted: October 23, 2007 Abstract the study presents the results of investigations on changes in groups of Noctuidae (lepidoptera) of xero- thermic rock sward ecosystems in the Pieniny caused by storage reservoirs in the Pieniny foothills, operating for over a decade now. A comparative analysis, taking into consideration exclusive characteristic species and indexes of similarity between groups investigated 40 years ago and at present (in 2003–06) at the same sites clearly shows that changes in the Noctuidae fauna are regressive in character only in the immediate vicinity of the water reservoirs and as the distance from a reservoir increases, the negative effect decreases until it disap- pears completely. Considerable regressive changes may be observed in the following spots: zielone Skałki (index of similarity), Niedzica Biała Skała (15.74) or Czorsztyn hill (22.86). in contrast, at present these changes are not observed on zamczysko (index of similarity 55.55) or Macelowa góra (53.3). Keywords: Pieniny, noctuids (lepidoptera, Noctuidae), ecosystems of xerothermic rock swards, chang- es after the construction of water reservoirs Introduction gained the status of a National Park as early as 1932 [3].

Most of the presented data were gathered during surveys carried out by the author in 2008–2009. Further data, spanning the period 1972–2009, were kindly provided by other lepidopterologists. In addition, all published data have also been included in the study. In 2008 the author focused mainly on wetland habitats in the Blanice River floodplain, moving in 2009 to mountain coniferous forests in the NNM’s buffer zone. In total, 710 moth species are presented in the paper together with phenological data, where known, and the exact location of their records. Predominant habitat types are characterized by the lepidop- teran communities recorded therein. High species diversity was observed in wetland habitats near the Blanice River and the occurrence of many typical wetland species was confirmed there, e.g., Sterrhopterix standfussi (Wocke, 1851), Epermenia falciformis (Haworth, 1828), Orthonama vittata (Borkhausen, 1794), or Hypenodes humidalis Doubleday, 1850. Species-rich lepidopteran fauna of mountain forests in the buff- er zone were typified by Nemapogon picarellus (Clerck, 1759), Ypsolopha nemorella (Linnaeus, 1758), Anchinia daphnella (Dennis & Schiffermüller, 1775), Caryocolum klosi (Rebel, 1917), C. cassellum (Walk- er, 1864), Epinotia pusillana (Peyerimhoff, 1863), Elophos vittarius (Thunberg, 1788), Entephria infidaria (La Harpe, 1853), Perizoma taeniatum (Stephens, 1831), Phlogophora scita (Hübner, 1790), or Xestia colli- na (Boisduval, 1840).

Spätere Raupenfunde an gleicher Stelle bestätigen diese Beobachtung. Abstract: Reappearance of the Lattuce Shark, Cucullia lactucae ([DENNIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775) in the "Schluchtgebirge" of the Hochsauerland in North-Rhine-Westphalia after 75 years. The finding of a Cucullia lactucae([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775) female in 2004 in the Sauerland can be described as a reappearance of the species which was considered to be extinct in NRW. Later findings of caterpillars in the same place confirm this observation. Vor 75 Jahren ereignete sich der letzte bekannte Fund von Cucullia lactucae ([DENNIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775) auf nordrhein-westfälischem Boden. Daher galt die Art in NRW schon länger als ausgestorben (DUDLER et al. 1999). Be- kannter Weise kommen die Cucullien selten ans Licht. Der erste Wiederfund der Art am 27.07.2004 gelang dem Autor dennoch an einer klassischen Leuchtanlage an der Ostabdachung des Rothaargebirges in Hallenberg, Me- debacher Bucht, bei ca.

  • Seasonal Changes in Predator Community Switch the Direction of Selection for Prey Defences
    ARTICLE Received 18 Jun 2014 | Accepted 18 Aug 2014 | Published 23 Sep 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6016 OPEN Seasonal changes in predator community switch the direction of selection for prey defences Johanna Mappes1, Hanna Kokko2, Katja Ojala1 & Leena Lindstro¨m1 Insect communities consist of aposematic species with efficient warning colours against predation, as well as abundant examples of crypsis. To understand such coexistence, we here report results from a field experiment where relative survival of artificial larvae, varying in conspicuousness, was estimated in natural bird communities over an entire season. This takes advantage of natural variation in the proportion of naive predators: naivety peaks when young birds have just fledged. We show that the relative benefit of warning signals and crypsis changes accordingly. When naive birds are rare (early and late in the season), conspicuous warning signals improve survival, but conspicuousness becomes a disadvantage near the fledging time of birds. Such temporal structuring of predator–prey relationships facilitates the coexistence of diverse antipredatory strategies and helps explain two patterns we found in a 688-species community of Lepidoterans: larval warning signals remain rare and occur disproportionately often in seasons when predators are educated. 1 Centre of Excellence in Biological Interactions Research, Department of Biological and Environmental Science, University of Jyva¨skyla¨, P.O.

Macrolepidoptera (Insecta, Lepidoptera) of the Pozhyzhevska site in Chornogora Mts // Scientific principles of biodiversity conservation. – 2014. – Vol. 5(12), № 1. – P. 145-162. – ISSN 2220-3087. The results of investigation upon butterflies and moths (Macrolepidoptera) in high-mountain habitats of the Pozhyzhevska site on NE sides of the Chornohora Mts are presented. The site is situated in the highest part of the Ukrainian Carpathians with average altitudes of 1300- 1650 m, within transition zone from the spruce forest (Piceeta abietis) through dwarf wood (Pineta mugi, Alneta viridis) to subalpine meadow and heath (Prata subalpina) mountain belts of vegetation. The principal part of materials for the work were collected during 2007- 2014 at Mountain Biological Station of Institute of Ecology of the Carpathians NAS of Ukraine on the Pozhyzhevska heath (48°09.26'N, 24°32.07'E, 1430 m a.s.l.), as well as in adjacent localities. Formerly there were 166 butterfly and moth species known due to inves- tigations of M. Nowicki (1865), J. Fudakowski and W. Niesiolowsky (1935-1939). Recently 345 Macrolepidoptera species have been found at 2007-2014 and in particular 200 of them were formerly unknown from the area at the middle XIX – beginning XX century. The 21 species, which have not been found recently, are not characteristic for the mountain habitats only. Total checklist including 366 species is given.

ABSTRACT The results of investigations of the moth fauna in Upper Tisa River Basin as well as some adjacent districts of Czornohora Mts and Transcarpathian Lowland (Ukraine) are given. The research was carrying out during 2007–2010 at 12 investigation points situated in all principal vertical vegetation belts of East Carpathians, within elevation profile from 170 to 1850 m altitudes. There is totally 534 species of Drepanoidea, Bombycoidea and Noctuoidea found in the area. The analysis of its ecogeographic structure is given and general regularities of species distribution through vegetation belts are determined. There are some variations of species distribution caused by local environmental conditions, mountain biogeographic barriers or inversions revealed and discussed. RÉSUMÉ: La structure échographique de la faune des hétérocères (Lepidoptera, Drepanoidea, Bombycoidea et Noctuoidea) dans le basin supérieur de la Tisza et des régions avoisinantes (Ukraine). Sont présentés les résultats des investigations sur la faune des hétérocères du bassin supérieur de la Tisza ainsi que dans quelques-uns des départements avoisinants des Montagnes de Czornohora et de la dépression Transcarpatique (Ukraine).
