Esperiana Band 14: 545-558 Schwanfeld, 19. Dezember 2008 ISBN 3-938249-08-0 The Moths Fauna (Lepidoptera) of Şile in the Asian Part of Istanbul Province, Turkey (pl. 39) Thomas BARON Key Words: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Turkey, Istanbul Stichworte: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Türkei, Istanbul Deutsche Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Artikel berichtet über die Fangergebnisse von Noctuoiden und anderen Nachtfaltern in Şile, einer Kleinstadt am Schwarzen Meer in Westanatolien / Türkei. Der Ort und der Landkeis Şile sind Teil der Provinz Istanbul. Einige weitere Fangergeb- nisse des Autors in anderen Teilen der Provinz Istanbul sind ebenfalls aufgeführt. Betrachtet wurden Arten der Familien Notodontidae, Nolidae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae, Noctuidae, Sphingidae, Lasiocam- pidae, Saturniidae, Drepanidae und Thyatiridae. Nicht berücksichtigt wurden Microlepidoptera und Geometridae. Die Artenliste wurde, wo nötig oder sinnvoll, mit einigen zusätzlichen Angaben angereichert, die allgemeine Verbreitung, ähnliche Arten oder das Vorkommen in Şile und anderen Teilen der Provinz Istanbul kommentieren. Für jede Art wird mit römischen Ziffern angegeben, in welchem Monat die Fänge erfolgt sind. Hierbei bedeutet (b) Anfang, (m) Mitte und (e) Ende des Monats. Die Zahl der gefangenen Spezimens wurde als grober Schätzwert für die tatsächliche Häufigkeit verwandt und die Arten dement- sprechend in vier Kategorien eingeteilt: vc – sehr häufig c – häufig s - vereinzelt r – selten Es wird deutlich, dass die Fauna Istanbuls derjenigen Rumäniens und mehr noch derjenigen Bulgariens ähnelt, beides Länder, die ebenfalls am Schwarzen Meer liegen. Da Istanbul aber auch mediterranen Einflüssen unterliegt, ist eine stärkere Vertretung des mediterranen Faunenelementes zu beobachten. Nur eine der festgestellten Arten wurde bisher in Bulgarien noch nicht gefunden, für Rumänien sind es einige mehr. -

Beitrag Dietger Hausenblas, Stuttgart Abstract This paper is the author’s second contribution to the microlepidoptera fauna of Baden-Wuerttemberg and neighbouring regions. As a result of recent collecting and of a review of historical specimens in the mu- seums of Karlsruhe and Stuttgart several species are reported as new to the fauna of Baden- Wuerttemberg whereas some others have to be deleted from the faunal list. Two species - Metalampra italica Baldizzone , 1977 and Stenoptilia mariaeluisae B igot & P icard , 2002 - are new for Germany. In an appendix the geographical colour-code-system of the labels in the C. Reutti collection is elucidated. Zusammenfassung In diesem zweiten Beitrag des Autors zur Microlepidopterenfauna von Baden-Württemberg und benachbarter Regionen sind erneut Ergebnisse sowohl aktueller Aufsammlungen als auch von Nachuntersuchung historischen Materials in den beiden großen Naturkundemu seen des Landes in Verbindung mit der Auswertung von Literaturmeldungen zusammenge stellt. Zahlreiche Arten können der Fauna hinzugefügt, während andere Meldungen korrigiert werden. Zwei Arten - Metalampra italica Baldizzone , 1977 und Stenoptilia mariaeluisae Bigot & P icard, 2002 - sind neu für Deutschland. Zusätzlich erfolgt in einem Anhang die Auflistung von Fundorten der Sammlungsetiketten von C. Reutti in Verbindung mit der von ihm verwendeten Farbcodierung. -

A total of 232 species were recorded from early May to mid-August 2011, among them four new records for the country: Blastobasis desertarum, Agriphila tolli, Epimecia ustula und Mythimna riparia. These records seem to be largely based on global warming and/or introduction. Further interesting records include endangered species such as Catocala electa. The species composition is briefly discussed, based on ecological gilds and habitats. Varying management seems to have limited influence on diversity. Keywords: Lepidoptera, faunistics, species diversity, Etsch, South Tyrol, Italy 1 Einleitung ‒ Zielsetzung Die Etsch als eine der großen Flusslandschaften Südtirols wurde insbesondere im 20. Jh. durch Begradigungen und Einengungen, durch Entwässerungen ehemaliger Feuchtgebiete, sowie durch intensive Nutzung des gesamten Umlandes drastisch verändert. Während früher ausgedehnte Auengewässer mit einer artenreichen Fauna und Flora landschaftsprägend waren, hat sich diese ehemalige Vielfalt dramatisch reduziert. Auen werden daher zu Recht als die am stärksten gefährdeten Lebensräume der Tallagen eingestuft (KAHLEN et al. -

Supplement No. 5 : 51-64 ; 31.X.1994 ISSN 0342-7536 Conserving Britain's rarest moths Paul Waring Windmill View, 1366 Lincoln Road, Werrington, Peterborough, PE4 6LS, UK Summary The work of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee Moth Conservation Project has several components. The first involves servicing a national network of recorders which was set up in the winter of 1990/91 to trawl information on the current national distribution, status and conservation requirements of the rarer species of macro-moths in Britain. The information collected is being used to organise surveys and produce national surveys and produce national distribution maps, data sheets and a bibliography for the rarer moths. The rarer macro-moths have been defined as those species believed to occur in less than one hundred of the 10 km squares in Britain. Approximately 280 of the 730 or more macro-moth species that breed in Britain are in this category now. The collected information is used by the government conservation agencies to identify important breeding sites and advise on their management. Since its inception in 1987 the Moth Conservation Project has also been involved in devising and assisting practical conservation measures for a number of rare moths including six species of moths which receive legal protection in Britain and are listed on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and 1988 amendment. These six are Zygaena viciae argyllensis Tremewan, Thetidia smaragdaria maritima Prout, Pareulype berberata Denis & Schiffer- müller, Siona lineata Scopoli, Acosmetia caliginosa Hübner and Hadena irregularis Hufnagel.
