The mate­ rial contains four species, which are described as new species: Neurothaumasia tenuipennella, Neurothaumasia tunesiella, Infurcitinea corleyi and Ateliotum larseni. From Matratinea rufulicaput Szir aki & Sz ö c s, 1990 and Anomalotinea gardesanella (H a rtig , 1950) were described and illustrated the female genitalia for the first time, from Elatobia bugrai K ocak, 1981 were described and illustrated the male genitalia for the first time. The examination of the type series of Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis O st h e ld e r , 1936 shows, that this taxon is a new synonym of Euplocamus delagrangei R ag o n o t, 1895.

INTRODUCTION Five years elapsed since the curator emeritus of the Lepidoptera col- lection, the renowned Microlepidoptera specialist of the Hungarian Natu- ral History Museum, Dr LÁSZLÓ GOZMÁNY passed away. The festive volume of the journal Acta zoologica Academiae scientiarum hungaricae for his 85th anniversary was only posthumously published (BÁLINT 2007), which actually included the funeral oration (MATSKÁSI 2007). In the same year two commemorations were published in the journals of the two lepi- dopterists’ societies, where he had been elected as honorary member (BÁLINT et al.

Cephimallota angusticostella (Zeller, 1839) and C. crassiflavella Bruand, 1851 are two Pa- laearctic Tineidae species which have been recognised as well differentiated taxa. The observation of variability in the male saccus caused doubt about the status of the two taxa and prompted us to initiate a detailed study of the male genital morphology. In this study we found a distinct variability in the shape of the saccus only in C crassiflavella, and not in C. angusticostella. The differences in external and genital morphology are corroborated by molecular analyses (DNA barcoding). The morphological and molecular data are discussed in the context of the determined distribution of the two taxa. Zusümmenfsissung. Cephimallota angusticostella {ZqWqy, 1839) und C crassiflavella Bruand, 1851 stellen zwei palaearktische, als gut unterscheidbar angesehene Tineidae-Arten dar. Die Beobachtung von Varia- bilität im männlichen Saccus ließ Zweifel zum Status der beiden Taxa aufkommen und war Anlass einer de- taillierten Untersuchung der morphologischen Strukturen der männlichen Genitalien.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

  • New Data on the Distribution and Biology of Tineid Moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) Associated with Forest Habitats
    Entomological News 35 (2) 91–105 Poznań 2016 New data on the distribution and biology of tineid moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) associated with forest habitats Xavier DOBRZAŃSKI1, Tomasz JAWORSKI2 1 ul. Odrzańska 17/5, 50-113 Wrocław, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Zakład Ochrony Lasu, Instytut Badawczy Leśnictwa, Sękocin Stary, ul.

The data were obtained based on a few methods of collecting of moths, mainly with use of artificial light and rearing of adults from decaying wood and bracket fungi inhabited by larvae. Nearly a dozen of species were recorded from particular regions of Poland for the first time. The study also revealed the new aspects of biology and ecology of a few species. KEY WORDS: faunistics, biological diversity, Microlepidoptera, clothes moths, fungus moths, bracket fungi, dead wood. Introduction Tineidae (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) constitutes a moth family abundantly represented in the world, distinguishable from among other taxa with original biology and habitat preferences (ROBINSON 2009). Its caterpillars – depending on a given subfamily – are mycetophages, lichenophages, keratophages, or saproxylophages, yet they more rarely feed on living plant parts. The majority of species inhabit old deciduous forests, where a high species diversity of arboreal fungi and rich ornitofauna are maintained. Forest areas that are economically intensively exploited are usually characterised with a low diversity of Tineidae, as the removal of dying and 92 X. DOBRZAŃSKI, T. JAWORSKI hollowy trees leads to the elimination of potential habitats for the development of these insects.
