The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

    Cochylini del 3 Aethes fortsat, Cochylidia, Cochylis mv. (4326-4365) Aethes cnicana (Wstw.) 13-18 mm. Imago flyver om aftenen omkring foderplanten og kommer fint til lys i juni juli. Længere mod syd i to generationer. Der er en del variation. Båndet kan være næsten jævnt bredt i hele længden eller – oftere - noget knudret, men dog sammenhængende. Aethes cnicana (Wstw.) Larven lever i frø, rødder og stængler af forskellige tidsler, i Norden først og fremmest Tidsel og Bladhovedtidsel (Cirsium, Carduus). Den overvintrer og forpupper sig i stængel/rod om foråret. Udbredt og almindelig i hele det nordlige og centrale Europa. Aethes cnicana & rubigana Aethes cnicana (tv.) er lysere, mere roligt tegnet og midtbåndet er næsten udelt. Aethes rubigana (th.) har delt midtbånd og den nederste del ender med et rundt hoved, der tydeligt bøjer udad mod apex. Midt- båndet er også tydeligt bre- dere og der er et tydeligt, bredt bånd af lidt mørkere skæl længere ude på vingen. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) 15-19 mm. Imago flyver i aftentimerne omkring foderplanterne i juli-august og kommer gerne til lys. Længere mod syd er der også en generation i maj-juni. Også hos denne art er der en del variation, men båndet er altid afbrudt. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) Larven lever i september-oktober i blomsterhovederne af Burre (Actium) og overvintrer i stængel/rodstok. Sommergenerationen kan leve også i bladene. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) Arten kan også være meget spraglet og mørkere i yderfeltet som det viste eksemplar. Det er oftest hunner. Aethes rubigana (Tr.) Arten er udbredt øst for israndslinjen i Danmark og lokalt almindelig.

  • Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, Under Research Permit #17-171
    Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, under research permit #17-171 Report to Alberta Tourism, Park and Recreation, Parks Division November 2017 by Gregory R. Pohl Gregory Pohl and other members of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild were granted a research permit (#17-171) for moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) observation and collection in the Tolman - Rumsey area of central Alberta in the summer of 2017. This is our report of the species observed and collected in the area. Study Sites: The following sites were visited and sampled for Lepidoptera: 1. Rowley townsite (Figure 1). 51.760°N 112.786°W. July 14-16, 2017. Abandoned home sites and field margins; disturbed area along train tracks. Although not a protected area requiring a permit, this was our base of operations and camping area, it was convenient to observe and collect moths and butterflies here. Most of the species encountered here are expected to occur in nearby parks and natural areas. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting; UV light traps; mercury vapour lights. 2. "North Rumsey": Township Road 589, vicinity of Rumsey Natural Area. 51.965°N 112.625°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland with small sloughs. Although not technically within the Rumsey Natural Area, this site is very near and is comprised of similar habitat. The species seen here are all expected within the natural area. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting. 3. "West Rumsey": Western edge of Rumsey Natural Area (Figure 2). 51.882°N 112.691°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland and grassland.

  • The Microlepidopterous Fauna of Sri Lanka, Formerly Ceylon, Is Famous
    ON A COLLECTION OF SOME FAMILIES OF MICRO- LEPIDOPTERA FROM SRI LANKA (CEYLON) by A.

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

Dokdo is a volcanic island created by a volcanic eruption that promoted the formation of Ulleungdo (located in the East sea), which is ~87.525 km away from Dokdo. Dokdo is an important island because of geopolitics; however, because of certain investigation barriers such as weather and time constraints, the awareness of its insect fauna is less compared to that of Ulleungdo. Dokdo’s insect fauna was obtained as 10 orders, 74 families, and 165 species until 2017; subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, 23 unrecorded species were discovered via an insect survey.

Abstract: The region of South Transdanubia covers the south-western part of Hungary, a territory bordered by the Danube and Drava Rivers and the Lake Balaton. In the South-Transdanubia region the sub Mediterranean climate is most characteristic in the hilly area (150–682 m). The author revise the Tortricidae material housed in natural history collections in Hungary. Four species were identified as new records for the South Transdanubia: Cochylimorpha woliniana (Schleich, 1868); Cochylidia rupicola (Curtis, 1834); Cochylidia moguntiana (Rössler, 1864); Xerocnephasia rigana (Sodoffsky, 1829). The species are very locally and rare in Hungary. Several habitats have been destroyed or transformed so the species are endangered. Cochylimorpha woliniana flight begins early in May. Cochylidia rupicola only known in 8–10 localities on various habitats. We know little on Cochylidia moguntiana species. It has been collected from the beginning of the 20th century. One of the most interesting species of research is Xerocnephasia rig- ana. So far, little knowledge of the distribution and bionomy of the species have been reported. Most of the collecting sites are in the hills and mountain ranges but its occurrences are only sporadic in plains. The author has recently collected Xerocnephasia rigana in the southernmost mountainous region of Hungary, the Villány hills.

Introduction Tortricid moths of the tribe Grapholitini represent a worldwide distributed phytophagous microlepidopteran complex trophically associated with numerous host-plants. Adults are usually moderately small (wing span varies from 7 mm to 20 mm). Moths are active at dusk and during the night. Larvae of Grapholitini feed in fruits, seeds, stems, roots and under bark of plants. Larvae of many species are actual or potential pests in natural and agricultural phytocenoses.
