Entomol. Fennica 16: 129143. A checklist of the 29 species of Pterophorinae (tribus Oidaematophorini and Pterophorini) of Iran is presented. Calyciphora golestanica sp. n., and the hith- erto unknown male of Merrifieldia farsi (Arenberger 1981) and the female of Tabulaephorus djebeli (Arenberger 1981) are described. Emmelina argoteles (Meyrick 1922) and Hellinsia pectodactylus (Staudinger 1859), are reported as new for Iran. The known distribution of each species is given. H.

In all, 26 species belonged to 18 genera of the family Pterophoridae(25 species of subfamily and remarks for all the species are also provided in detail. Pterophorinae and 01 Deuterocopinae) were examined and identified. The keys to subfamilies, synonymy, distribution Keywords: Microlepidoptera, North-West, Plume Moths, Pterophoridae Introduction of these moths, the taxonomical study is very difficult and the same moths group poses very serious problems The Microlepidoptera is one of the large groups of in field collections, pinning, stretching, labelling and as moths under order Lepidoptera. On world basis, 45735 well as in identification. Keeping in mind all above, the species belonging to 4626 genera of 73 families under 19 present research is undertaken on the Pterophorid moths superfamilies are present. The superfamily Pterophoroidea from the area under reference. is a unique group from other Lepidopteran insects is having slender moths, long and slender legs and long Material and Methods abdomen and wings narrow clefted.

Paseban and 2B.H. Kaboudvand 1Planning Research Institute, Agriculture Economy and Rural Development, Ministry of Jihad 2Rural Development Department, Tehran, Iran Abstract: The concept of sustainability has been considered as a framework for understanding the development process and environment resource management as well as delicate a balance between economy, environment and health sociality around the world in the recent decades. This research tries to determine the level of sustainability of Karaj rural development in order to identify and investigate the possibilities of Karaj County. For this purpose, 30 indicators of social, economic and environmental and structural-infrastructural are applied, using factor analysis and cluster analysis techniques for grading and evaluating the sustainability of the 82 villages were used in Karaj County. Thus, the 30 variables were reduced to 4 factors. According to the result of the principal component analysis with rotation, 65.32% of total variance among the 30 variables was explained by these 4 factors. Results indicate undesirable present condition in the studied region which Farokh Abad and Ghezel Hesar villages are sustainable, while Morad Abad and Ahmad Abad villages are unsustainable comparison with other settlements. Finally, the strategy policies are presented in different dimension in order to enhance and improve of the sustainability of Karaj County.

E-mail: [email protected] New data on Pterophoridae from Afghanistan are considered. A checklist of Pterophoridae species of the fauna of Afghanistan is presented, as including 32 species of 14 genera. Merrifieldia tridactyla is for the first time recorded for the fauna of Afghanistan. The basic literature on the Afghanistan Pterophoridae were used in the study. Key words: Pterophoridae, plume moths, Afghanistan, fauna, new data. INTRODUCTION Many Pterophoridae as Cossidae are specific inhabitants of the arid regions of the Palaearctic. Usually deserts are good zoogeographical barriers preventing from mixing the faunas of different zoogeographical regions (Yakovlev & Dubatolov 2013; Yakovlev, 2015; Yakovlev et al., 2015). Until now there were no special publications on Pterophoridae from Afghanistan. The first description of a new species of Pterophoridae, Stenoptilia nurolhaki, from Afghanistan was in the work by Amsel (1967), In a series of works by Ernst Arenberger (1981, 1987, 1995), six new species were described from Afghanistan.

Fajardo2b, and Deborah L. Matthews3 1Departamento de Entomología, Centro de Bio-Sistemas Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano., Bogotá, Colombia, [email protected]; 2Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas e Ingeniería, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano., Bogotá, Colombia, [email protected], [email protected]; 3McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, [email protected] Abstract - Oidaematophorus espeletiae, sp. nov., is described from the Chingaza páramo in Colombia. The life history, external characters of the adult, male and female genitalia, final instar larva, and pupa are described and illustrated. This moth species is widely distributed in the páramo. Larvae cause damage in meristem leaves of frailejones (Espeletia spp., Asteraceae). Identification and continuing studies of this moth are important to determine its potential role in the reported death of numerous frailejones in the area. The hosts, Espeletia grandiflora and E. uribei are some of the keystone species of the páramo ecosytem. Resumen - Se describe Oidaematophorus espeletiae, sp. nov del páramo de Chingaza, Colombia. Se describen e ilustran la historia de vida, caracteres externos del adulto, genitalia de macho y hembra, último instar larval, y pupa. Esta polilla se encuentra ampliamente distribuida en el páramo. Las larvas ocasionan daños en las hojas del meristemo de los frailejones (Espeletia spp., Asteraceae).

Written contributions made by German-speaking zoologists on Madeira (1916-2000). Between 1916 and 2000, a considerable number of German-speaking zoologists (Germans, Austrians, Swiss and also Luxemburgers) have visited Madeira and / or described animals from this island, having published their findings in several magazines and / or books. In the present list, data on those naturalists are presented. Additional data to the previous list (WILHELM, 1997) is also given in an addendum. It is clear that a certain number of naturalists have published their findings based on specimen collected by others, thus not having visited the island. 1 Rua Senhora da Conceição, 42-3D, 2695-854 Bobadela, Portugal.
