Ronkay, L. Ronkay, Gyulai & Hacker, 2010, recently described from China, is recorded in Russia for the first time. The new locality is distant from the three other known localities in China by up to 2800 km. This is a north-easternmost known locality of the species. Adults, male and female genitalia of O. ryrholmi and a sibling species O. populeti (Fabricius, 1781) are illustrated, and the diagnosis for O. ryrholmi is presented. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Orthosia, Russia, China Noctuidae is one of the most species-rich families of Lepidoptera (Nieukerken et al., 2011). The noctuid genus Orthosia Ochsenheimer, 1816 belongs to the tribe Orthosiini, subfamily Noctuinae (Zahiri et al., 2013). This Holarctic-Orien - tal genus includes more than 60 described species with most distributed in the eastern and southeastern Palaearctic and Oriental regions, and subdivided into seven described subgenera (Kononenko et al., 1998; Ronkay et al., 2001; Ronkay et al., 2010): Euchoristea Warren, 1910, Orthosia Ochsenheimer, 1816, Monima Hübner [1821], Poporthosia Beck, 1996, Cororthosia Berio, 1980, Semiophora Stephens, 1829 and Erythrotis Bryk, 1948. The subgeneric placement of some species-groups is still unclear. Poporthosia was erected by Beck (1996, 1999) for Bombyx populeti Fabricius, 1781. Ronkay et al. (2001) preliminarily treated Poporthosia as a synonym of Monima, while noting that the subgeneric position of populeti is unclear. Later, Ronkay et al. (2010) treated Poporthosia as a distinct subgenus including two described species: O. (P.) populeti and O. (P.) ryrholmi. The latter was described by them from central China (Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces). In the course of faunistic studies on Lepidoptera of the Bolshekhekhtsyrskii Nature Reserve (Russian Far East, Khabarovsk territory), a series of Poporthosia species were collected. It was reported for the region as O. populeti (Dubatolov and Dolgikh, 2009), but study of the male and female genitalia showed these specimens to belong to another species, O. ryrholmi. This is a first record of the species for the fauna of Russia (Fig. 1). ______________________________ 1 Received on June 10, 2014.

(the spec- imens are deposited in the collection of the Siberian Zoological Museum, Insti - tute of Animal Systematic and Ecology of the Siberian Branch of the Rus sian Academy of Sciences, SZMN, Novosibirsk, Russia). Diagnosis. O. ryrholmi (Figs. 2A, 2B) and O. populeti (Figs. 2C, 2D) are externally very similar, but O. ryrholmi has somewhat broader forewings. The correct determination of the species needs study of the genitalia. The male geni- 284 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS Fig. 2. Orthosia (Poporthosia) spp., adults.

In the female genitalia, O. ryrholmi differs in the broader medial part of ductus bursae, the much shorter anterior, tubular- ribbed part of the ductus bursae and the twisted appedix bursae (Figs. 3B, 3D). Taxonomic notes. Many related taxa of the tribe Orthosiini have small dif- ferences in the genital structures (e. g., Orthosia incerta (Hufnagel, 1766) and O. nigromaculata Höne, 1917 species-groups, O. gracilis ([Denis & Schif fer - mül ler], 1755) – O. ella (Butler, 1878), O. marmorata G. Ronkay & al., 2010 – O. coniortota Filipjev, 1927 and O. paromoea (Hampson, 1905) – O. yelai G. Ron kay & al., 2010 species-pairs, Perigrapha circumducta (Lederer, 1855), P. i-cinctum ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1755) and P. hoenei Püngeler, 1914 species-groups, etc.). Most of these species have allopatric distribution and their true taxonomic status is unclear. The interpretation of such allopatric taxa is sub- jective now (Mutanen et al., 2012). The strongly allopatric taxa O. populeti and O. ryrholmi also possess very similar genital structures, but such differences as the aedeagus size, the vesica length and the absence of cornutus in males and the ductus bursae length and the appendix bursae shape in females are the important species features in the tribe, therefore here we follow Ronkay et al. (2010) and treat populeti and ryrholmi as distinct species. Volume 124, Number 4, January 2015 285 Figure 3. Orthosia (Poporthosia) spp., male and female genitalia.

    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 56, 2010 (3): 121–129 How to identify larvae of the protected species: Dioszeghyana schmidtii (Diószeghy 1935), and survey its presence and abundance (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae; Hadeninae) M. Turčáni1, J. Patočka1†, J. Kulfan2 1Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Prague, Czech Republic 2Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Zvolen, Slovakia ABSTRACT: Dioszeghyana schmidtii (Diószeghy 1935), is forest species protected by European Union. Its distribution has been studied essentially by the use of light traps. However, its biology and habitat preferences are not sufficiently known and thus its habitats may be damaged by forest management. We suggest the beating method in order to collect larvae as an useful way to record and to survey D. schmidtii. Larvae of the species can be collected by beating branches of its host plants (Quercus and Acer species) in the lower canopy (below 3 m). Optimal survey time would be the second half of May and the first half of June. Differences between the larvae ofD. schmidtii and 16 similar moth larvae, as well as, Tenthredinidae (Hymenoptera) species living at the same time on the same trees are described and figured in a key to identification. The method described in the paper allows one to identify larvae in the field. Results are discussed. Keywords: beating method; Dioszeghyana schmidtii; Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC; larvae identification; Lepido- ptera The Council of the European Communities has Annex IV (animal and plant species of EU interest adopted the Directive 92/43/EEC (http://europa. in need of strict protection) of the directive.

В БЕЛАРУСИ Е.М. Сетракова Белорусский государственный университет, Минск, Беларусь e-mail: [email protected] Введение Целью данной работы являлось установление таксономического состава комплекса насекомых-филлофагов дуба черешчатого (Q. robur) на территории Беларуси. Дуб черешчатый является одной из самых ценных древесных пород, как в Беларуси, так и за ее пределами [1]. Древесина дуба на протяжении многих веков широко использовалась для самых разных целей и отраслей промышленности, и ценилась намного выше древесины большинства других деревьев. Дуб черешчатый является также и лекарственным, декоративным и фитомелиоративным растением. Дуб черешчатый распространен по всей территории Беларуси и особенно часто встречается в ее южной части [2, 3]. Исследования, проведенные в Министерстве лесного хозяйства (Белгослес) наглядно демонстрируют, что в Беларуси существует проблема сокращения лесных насаждений с участием дуба. Так, за последние 40 лет, доля дубрав в нашей стране сократилась с 4,8 до 3,5%. [4]. Обстоятельства этому способствующие до конца пока не выяснены. Одной из причин этого явления, по нашему мнению, может быть поражение дуба насекомыми-вредителями. Насекомые развиваются на многих частях дуба, в различной степени повреждая его древесину, цветы, плоды, корни и листву. Однако, первичной проблемой, приводящей к общему ослаблению дуба черешчатого, считается формирование комплекса насекомых- филлофагов [5]. В результате питания насекомых-филлофагов возникает дефицит листьев, что приводит к временному подавлению многих жизненных процессов либо к гибели дерева. В конечном итоге для лесного хозяйства это чревато прямыми экономическими потерями, в виде потери древесины за счет уменьшения прироста, а также за счет усыхания (отмирания) части или всего древостоя.

REVISION OF EUNICA Dale W Jenkins BULLETIN OF THE ALLYN MUSEUM 3621 Bayshore Rd. Sarasota, Florida 34234 Published By Florida Museum of Natural History University of Florida Gainesville, Florida 32611 Number 131 20 June 1990 ISSN-0097-3211 NEOTROPICAL NYMPHALIDAE VIII. REVISION OF EUNICA · Dale W. Jenkins 3028 Tanglewood Drive, Sarasota, FL 34239 and Research Associate, Allyn Museum of Entomology A. INTRODUCTION Eunica Hiibner is a large neotropical genus which includes 45 species and 24 subspecies. The males are black or brown, usually marked or glossed with iridescent blue (some have white markings) and there are characteristic ocelli on the ventral surface of the hindwing. The females are brown with white maculae or a white band on the forewing, and only a few species show blue or green iridescence. The forewings of both sexes are rounded or truncate. The male genitalia and the distinctive hypandrium or subgenital plate in the male are valuable for species identification. Males of some species have androconial hair patches on the wings. The genus occurs from Florida and Thxas through Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and South America to Argentina The largest number of species occur in the Andean area, and in the Amazon valley. The objectives of this revision are to a) accurately define the genus Eunica, b) determine whether it is congeneric with the closely-related African genus Sallya Hemming, c) determine if the monotypic genus Libythina Felder, should be included in the genus, d) accurately define identifiable valid species and subspecies of Eunica and synonymize invalid taxa, e) determine accurate ranges for the species and subspecies, and f) develop a logical phylogenetic sequence of species.
