Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data. -
The Internal Genitalia As a Taxonomic Tool: Description of the Relict Endemic Moth, Coranarta Restricta Sp
© Entomologica Fennica. 19 April 2002 The internal genitalia as a taxonomic tool: description of the relict endemic moth, Coranarta restricta sp. n., from the Iberian Peninsula (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Hadeninae) José L. Yela Yela, J. 2002: The internal genitalia as a taxonomic tool: description of the relict endemic moth, Coranarta restricta sp. n., from the Iberian Peninsula (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Hadeninae). — Entomol. Fennica 13: 1–12. A comparative study of the internal genitalia and examination of ecological preferences show that the Iberian populations formerly referred to as Coranarta cordigera (Thunberg, 1788) should be recognised as a distinct species, Coranarta restricta sp. n. Because of its rarity, extremely local distribution, and endemic and relict character, it should be regarded as an endangered species and its potential as a flagship species in conservation programmes is addressed. The phylogenetic and zoogeographical relationships among the species of Coranarta are outlined. The utility of structural matching of internal genitalia in conspecific males and females as a taxonomic tool is discussed, together with the main hypotheses of the evolutionary significance of internal genital differentiation in allopatric species.

Lepidoptera): a Case Study of the Soumarský Most Bog (Bohemian Forest, South Bohemia, Central Europe)
Silva Gabreta vol. 22 p. 79–98 Vimperk, 2016 Vegetation succession of a post-harvested peat bog and survival of moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera): a case study of the Soumarský Most bog (Bohemian Forest, South Bohemia, central Europe) Josef Jaroš*, Karel Spitzer & Hana Zikmundová Institute of Entomology, Biology Centre CAS, Branišovská 31, CZ-37005 České Budějovice, Czech Republic * [email protected] Abstract Moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) communities were investigated in the post-harvested valley peat bog Soumarský Most in the Bohemian Forest during vegetation season of 2011–2016. Total 371 species of all peat bog ecological categories were recorded. The survival of moths and butterflies was interpreted under natural vegetation succession and revitalization. The Soumarský Most bog seems to be colonized by bog insect specialists (tyrphobionts and tyrphophiles) from surrounding pristine peatlands of the Vltavský Luh complex (including the Mrtvý Luh bog), which is the unique source of recolonization by relict taxa. Only small insect species proportion probably survived the heavy peat exploitation of the Soumarský Most bog in the past time. Key words: moths, butterflies, peat bog, ecological succession, conservation, Šumava Mountains, Vltavský Luh reserve INTRODUCTION Peat bogs of central Europe are relict unique ecosystems existing continuously since the early Holocene period at the same sites. The conservation priorities are the virgin and semi- virgin localities in South Bohemia, namely the peat bogs of the Bohemian Forest (Šumava Mountains) – cf. SCHREIBER (1924), BUFKOVÁ et al. (2005), SPITZER & DANKS (2006), SPITZER & BUFKOVÁ (2013). The extrazonal character of such peat bogs considering the existence of a large zone of similar peatland ecosystems in the North and Northeast Europe, gives the central European peat bogs a large biogeographical context in entomofauna and vegetation (for the list of Lepidoptera and bibliography see SPITZER & DANKS 2006, JAROŠ et al. -

Moth Responses to Forest-To-Bog Restoration
Moth responses to forest-to-bog restoration A. Pravia1,2, R. Andersen1, R.R.E. Artz2, K. Boyd1, N.R. Cowie3, N.A. Littlewood2,4 1 Environmental Research Institute, University of the Highlands and Islands, Thurso, UK 2 James Hutton Institute, Craigiebuckler, Aberdeen, UK 3 RSPB Scotland, Edinburgh, UK 4 Department of Rural Land Use, SRUC North Faculty, SRUC Aberdeen, Bucksburn, Aberdeen, UK _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The responses of peatland invertebrates to land use changes and associated effects of peatland degradation are not well known, particularly for diverse and species-rich taxa such as moths. We investigated broad patterns of distribution in moth communities during the restoration of formerly afforested blanket bog, as well as their degree of habitat affinity (tyrphophilia). Thus, we examined the response of moth communities to peatland management across a restoration chronosequence and used information about species traits to explain the species’ responses to restoration (trait syndromes). A clear shift towards open habitat moth species and away from specialist forest species took place following tree felling, and the moth communities of restoration treatments resembled the bog community within a few years following onset of restoration. Interestingly, species traditionally considered tyrphobionts (bog specialists) were not restricted to core bog habitats. Trait syndromes were identified for each treatment, highlighting the importance of phylogenetic, phenological and ecological performance traits linked mainly to species microhabitat selection, resource use and dispersal capability. The restoration of afforested blanket bog opens up the habitat for the recolonisation of bog- inhabiting moth species, mediated by species functional traits. However, a better understanding of moth functional traits, especially linked to moth ecology (including habitat preferences), is needed to aid understanding of the relationship between restoration trajectory, species traits and blanket bog habitat. -
Scottish Macro Moths List
Notes on the 2020 Scottish Macro-moth List This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2017. Names and classification follow the revised British checklist by Agassiz, Bevan & Heckford (2013). The requirement for inclusion is a minimum of one Scottish record considered to be beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. A second appendix contains records of adventives where Scottish presence was considered to result solely from human transportation. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many claims are thought to be misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. They are omitted from this checklist altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not guarantee authenticity. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or since by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time these are used In Scotland should be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have always caused confusion. Today, an even greater problem involves errors when computerising the data. -

For invertebrates, notified features range from individual species, through assemblages of a specific taxon, to the overall invertebrate assemblage. For a variety of reasons, the invertebrates’ notified features do not always reflect the currently established criteria for selecting such features for site protection and designation purposes. In some cases, citations are based on old records that may now be considered unreliable whilst in others, the records do not demonstrate that the species or assemblages are of sufficient quality to meet the criteria. -
