MMBG Newsletter No. 98 MONMOUTHSHIRE MOTH & BUTTERFLY GROUP NEWSLETTER No 98 February 2014. A monthly newsletter covering Gwent and Monmouthshire Vice County 35 Editor: Martin Anthoney Monmouthshire Lepidoptera – The Story of a Book January 2014 saw the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Neil Horton’s book Monmouthshire Lepidoptera (The Butterflies and Moths of Gwent). Neil Horton in 1985, aged 70 Neil was concerned for many years at the lack of a definitive county list for the butterflies and moths of Monmouthshire. In 1968 he set about compiling such a list, but the bulk of the work had to await retirement from his GP practice at Usk in 1985, aged 70, and a move to Llansoy. Born and bred in the Newport area, Neil had personal records for butterflies and day-flying moths dating back to the 1920s, and had light-trapped moths since 1966. He carried out a thorough search of the literature and collections, advised by his friend John Bradley (who later wrote the 1998 Checklist of Lepidoptera Recorded From The British Isles), and he corresponded with several other experts such as Michael Chalmers-Hunt, Baron Charles de Worms and W.G.Tremewan. Despite health problems which culminated in heart surgery in 1989, the Monmouthshire county list was essentially complete by 1990, in the form of a card index box file, which is now in my possession. 1 Much of the credit for persuading Neil to incorporate his county list into a book goes to the late Patrick Humphreys, a veterinary surgeon who at the time was President of Gwent Wildlife Trust whilst I was Trust Vice Chairman. Patrick owned a small publishing company, Comma International Biological Systems, and it was agreed to use this to publish a book by Neil. Assisted by his son, Neil took his first steps into the world of computing by purchasing an Amstrad computer and he enthusiastically set about writing background and introductory chapters to accompany the lepidoptera list, a task which was completed by 1993. During the summer of 1993 I helped Neil photograph some important habitats and Patrick made contact with Images Ltd, of Upton-upon-Severn, about the possibility of them producing and distributing the book. Neil was adamant that his book must be done “properly”. “Properly” included, in addition to county lists for butterflies, macromoths and micromoths, hard-back cover, good quality paper, extensive historical and background material, full indices and colour photos of habitats and some of his set specimens. The recording area covered by the book reflected Neil’s strong views on county boundaries, largely following those of the old county of Monmouthshire before it became Gwent in 1976. Neil never accepted the Watsonian vice county VC35 (Monmouthshire) boundary as set out by J E Dandy in 1963. Hence the book includes Clydach and Trefil areas which were in Monmouthshire (and Gwent) but not in VC35. It also includes Aberbargoed, where the important Marsh Fritillary site was in Monmouthshire (and VC35) but not in Gwent. A total of 320pp plus 16pp colour photos brought quotes of around £10,000 for a print run of 1000 copies. There were no significantly cheaper quotes, so in autumn 1993 contracts were signed with Images Ltd. The finances of Gwent Wildlife Trust did not allow them to contribute towards the costs, a situation which those involved with the Trust today will recognise, but using the auspices of the Trust a grant of £2000 was obtained from CCW (Countryside Council for Wales, now merged into Natural Resources Wales). A promotional flyer from Images Ltd is reproduced below. AUTHOR : NEIL HORTON PUBLICATION DATE: 22.1.1994 I M A G E S ISBN: l897817 27 4 B O O K SELL ERS & DIS TR IB U TOR S LTD FORMAT: CASED. ROYAL OCTAVO . 320 pp PLUS l6pp COLOUR SECTION NEW TITLE UK PRICE: £26.75 CATEGORY : NON-FICTION NATURAL HISTORY PUBLICATION DETAILS PUBLISHER : COMMA INTERNATIONAL BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM M O N M O U T H S H I R E L E P I D O P T E R A The Butterflies and Moths of Gwent fills an important geographic gap in the published lists of butterflies and moths. This is quite remarkable as Monmouthshire, or Gwent as it is now known, provides a habitat for one of the richest and most diverse butterfly and moth populations in the United Kingdom. This comprehensive volume initially deals with the geography, topography, main habitats and their lepidopterous fauna. The main part of the book is devoted to a systematic listing of this fauna together with detailed records. Many species of Lepidoptera are unique to Gwent and it was here in 1972 that the author, Dr. Neil Horton, discovered Eriopygodes imbecilla. This was previously unknown in Britain and is still only found in Gwent. This book includes a 16 page colour section in which many specimens from the author's collection are shown. The colour section also includes photographs of local habitats that will be of great interest to all entomologists. MONMOUTHSHIRE LEPIDOPTERA A valuable addition to the published records of Lepidoptera in the U.K. THE AUTHOR Dr. Neil Horton was born in Gwent. He studied Natural Sciences at Christ's College Cambridge but after taking his degree decided to change to medicine . He completed his preclinical medical studies at Cambridge and at Genova in Italy and then undertook his clinical studies at Bart's and Cardiff. He was a medical officer in the R.A.F. during the war and took up general practice in Usk at the end of hostilities where he remained for nearly forty years until he retired at the age of seventy. Since his early teens he has travelled a good deal on the Continent and has collected insects in many European countries as well as in India, Burma and Sri Lanka and in East Africa in Tanzania and Kenya. He is the County recorder for Lepidoptera , having published many entomological papers . Dr. Horton is a Member of the British Entomological and Natural Hi story Society and is a Fellow of the Linnean Society and of the Royal Entomological Society. 2 Images Ltd agreed to arrange for photographers to take colour pictures of some of Neil Horton’s important specimens. Unfortunately, the contractors were more used to producing adverts for supermarkets than photographing set specimens of insects and incorrect lighting led to shadows which made many of the specimens unrecognisable. Some books were printed with these pictures and had to be destroyed, though copies escaped and found their way into remainder bookshops. The set specimens had to be re-photographed, but even these left a lot to be desired. Moths and their shadows - How not to photograph pinned moth specimens! Neil Horton’s book was finally published on 22nd January 1994. We needed to sell 700 copies to break even, but just over 200 were sold in the first year. Neil, Patrick Humphreys and I contributed equally to make up the deficit. Hopes that sales would continue steadily for a few years were thwarted by a series of sad events. Patrick became ill and died in 1997. Neil’s health also deteriorated and we lost touch by 1998 when his house was sold and he moved into a nursing home near Abergavenny, the location of which we only discovered following his death in 2005. Images Ltd ceased trading around 1996 and, even though they had been paid for, unsold copies of Neil’s book found their way, without our knowledge, into bookshops in Hay-on-Wye and elsewhere, where they may still be available. Though the lists are out of date, the book is still well worth reading for the excellent descriptions of Monmouthshire, its geology, topography and habitats. As events turned out, we were lucky that Neil completed his book and it was published when it was. Although an expensive project, Neil would be gratified by the interest his book generated. For twenty years it has been a bible to those recording butterflies and moths in Gwent, and the number of recorders has increased dramatically. With the proliferation of the internet it is very unlikely that there will be a successor to Neil’s book on Monmouthshire Lepidoptera. Finally, a cautionary note to any budding authors. Neil dedicated his book to his mother (who throughout her 96 years detested moths) and to his wife, Sheila. Unfortunately, a typographical error led to his wife’s name being mis-spelled in the book. As Neil would testify if he were still with us, that is one mistake you never live down! Martin Anthoney Monmouthshire Moth & Butterfly Group Winter Meeting/ AGM The Group’s Indoor Meeting and AGM will be held on Friday, 7th March 2014, 7.30pm start. The venue will be the Royal British Legion in Usk (Old Market Street, Usk, NP15 1AL). After a short business session Martin Anthoney will give a talk on Lepidoptera Recording in Gwent – highlights of 2013 and targets for the future. 3 New Checklist of Lepidoptera of the British Isles December 2013 saw the publication of a new Checklist of British Lepidoptera by David Agassiz et al. Published by the Field Studies Council for the Royal Entomological Society, the book, 206 pages, can be obtained via the website of the Field Studies Council (£25 plus £3 p/p). A lot of thorough work has gone into this checklist, the first since John Bradley in 2000. The familiar sequence of families has been modified to arrange from the most primitive to the most developed. Taxonomic names have been changed in some cases to reflect consensus across Europe, and a new numbering system introduced to replace the present Bradley and Fletcher numbers, though the latter are included to allow cross- referencing.

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

  • Entomologiske Meddelelser
    Entomologiske Meddelelser Indeks for Bind 1-67 (1887-1999) Entomologisk Forening København 2000 FORORD Tidsskriftet "Entomologiske Meddelelser" - Entomologisk Forenings medlemsblad - blev grundlagt i 1887, og er således det ældste danske entomologiske tidsskrift, som stadig udgives. Det har siden sin start haft til formål at udbrede kendskabet til entomologien i almindelighed og dansk entomologi i særdeleshed. De første 5 bind udkom i årene 1887-1896 og omhandlede primært artikler af særlig relevans for dansk entomologi. Herefter skiftede det format, såvel rent fysisk som (mere gradvis) indholdsmæssigt, og fik efterhånden et mere internationalt tilsnit med en vis andel af bl.a. tysk- og engelsksprogede artikler. I forbindelse med overgangen til det nye format, benævntes tidsskriftet nu som "Entomologiske Meddelelser, 2. Række" og nummereringen af de enkelte bind startede forfra. Efter at have praktiseret denne nummerering i nogle år, droppedes dog betegnelsen "2. Række", og man vendte tilbage til at nummerere bindene fortløbende fra det først udkomne bind. Efter at tidsskriftet op igennem 1900-tallet havde fået et stigende indhold af artikler med internationalt sigte, blev det fra bind 39 (1971) besluttet at koncentrere indholdet til primært dansksprogede artikler af særlig relevans for den danske fauna. Samtidig overgik de enkelte bind til at udgøre årgange i stedet for, som tidligere, at være flerårige. "Entomologiske Meddelelser" har siden sin start bragt hen mod 1600 originale, videnskabelige artikler eller mindre meddelelser, næsten 500 boganmeldelser, over 100 biografier eller nekrologer over primært danske entomologer, samt enkelte meddelelser af anden slags. For at lette overskueligheden over den meget betydelige mængde af information disse publikationer rummer, har Entomologisk Forenings bestyrelse fundet tiden moden til at sammenstille et indeks over indholdet af samtlige udkomne numre af "Entomologiske Meddelser" til og med bind 67 (årgang 1999).
