Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE IRISH BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS (LEPIDOPTERA) WITH A CONCISE CHECKLIST OF IRISH SPECIES AND ELACHISTA BIATOMELLA (STAINTON, 1848) NEW TO IRELAND K. G. M. Bond1 and J. P. O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe. -
In Istria in Autumn

In Istria in Autumn Tour participants: Paul Tout and Paul Harmes (leaders) with 14 Naturetrek clients Day 1 Tuesday 1st October Trieste Airport - Istarske Toplice (our hotel accommodation) Paul Harmes met up with the group at Stansted. Arriving at Trieste airport just after 5pm, we passed through passport control, collected our luggage and moved out into the Arrivals hall where we were met by Paul Tout. We were soon on our way towards Istria, passing through the very attractive historic centre of Trieste and on towards Koper-Capodistria, the main port in Slovenia. At the crossroads of Europe where the three main language groups meet (Romance, Slav and Germanic), the area is an ethnic mix with large areas of bi- (and even tri-) lingualism, so place names are usually hyphenated, made up of two languages. The weather was fine, sunny and warm. We took the road for the centre of Trieste along the Costiera. but no Alpine Swifts were visible. They nest in a colony on the cliffs beside the road and they continue to visit the colonies until mid-October but evidently, they were feeding high up in the fine weather. Passing through the centre of Trieste, the city looked very fine in the evening light, with its Viennese-style waterfront and main square, Piazza Unita d’Italia, the only one in Italy that opens onto the sea. -
Tarset and Greystead Biological Records
Tarset and Greystead Biological Records published by the Tarset Archive Group 2015 Foreword Tarset Archive Group is delighted to be able to present this consolidation of biological records held, for easy reference by anyone interested in our part of Northumberland. It is a parallel publication to the Archaeological and Historical Sites Atlas we first published in 2006, and the more recent Gazeteer which both augments the Atlas and catalogues each site in greater detail. Both sets of data are also being mapped onto GIS. We would like to thank everyone who has helped with and supported this project - in particular Neville Geddes, Planning and Environment manager, North England Forestry Commission, for his invaluable advice and generous guidance with the GIS mapping, as well as for giving us information about the archaeological sites in the forested areas for our Atlas revisions; Northumberland National Park and Tarset 2050 CIC for their all-important funding support, and of course Bill Burlton, who after years of sharing his expertise on our wildflower and tree projects and validating our work, agreed to take this commission and pull everything together, obtaining the use of ERIC’s data from which to select the records relevant to Tarset and Greystead. Even as we write we are aware that new records are being collected and sites confirmed, and that it is in the nature of these publications that they are out of date by the time you read them. But there is also value in taking snapshots of what is known at a particular point in time, without which we have no way of measuring change or recognising the hugely rich biodiversity of where we are fortunate enough to live. -
A New Species of Pharmacis Hübner, 1820 from Spain with a Brief Review of the Genera Pharmacis and Korscheltellus Börner, 1920 (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae)
Nota Lepi. 41(2) 2018: 225–249 | DOI 10.3897/nl.41.26835 A new species of Pharmacis Hübner, 1820 from Spain with a brief review of the genera Pharmacis and Korscheltellus Börner, 1920 (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae) Axel Kallies1, Teresa Farino2 1 University of Melbourne, School of BioSciences, Parkville, 3010 Victoria, Australia; [email protected] 2 Apartado de Correos 59, 39570 Potes, Cantabria, Spain; [email protected] http://zoobank.org/B506D8D1-960D-4267-9140-2B1D8A11F449 Received 25 May 2018; accepted 21 September 2018; published: 9 November 2018 Subject Editor: Maria Heikkilä. Abstract. We here describe a new ghost moth (Hepialidae) species, Pharmacis cantabricus sp. n. from the Picos de Europa National Park, Cantabria, in northern Spain. The new species belongs to a group of mostly day-flying species that are restricted to the European Alps and some mountain ranges of southern Europe. Based on morphology and analysis of mitochondrial COI gene sequences, the new species is closely related to Pharmacis aemilianus (Constantini, 1911), an endemic of the Italian Apennines. However, Pharmacis cantabricus sp. n. can easily be distinguished from all related species based on both external and genitalic characters. We briefly review and illustrate all species of the genus Pharmacis Hübner, 1820 and discuss its relationship with the related genus Korscheltellus Börner, 1920. We reinstate Hepialus castillanus Oberthür, 1883 as a distinct species and transfer it to Korscheltellus (stat. rev., comb. n.). Resumen. Describimos una nueva especie de Hepialidae, Pharmacis cantabricus sp. n. del Parque Nacional de Picos de Europa, Cantabria, España septentrional. La nueva especie pertenece a un grupo de especies de vuelo diurno cuya distribución se limita a los Alpes europeos y otras cadenas montañosas de Europa merid- ional. -

RIV. PIEM. ST. NAT., 27, 2006: 133-141 MAURO GIANTI * - GIOVANNI B. DELMASTRO** PRIME NOTIZIE SULLA PRESENZA IN TERRITORIO ITALIANO DI PHARMACIS BERTRANDI (Le Cerf , 1936) (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae) ABSTRACT - First record of Pharmacis bertrandi (Le Cerf, 1936) in Italy (Lepidop- tera, Hepialidae). In this paper, Pharmacis bertrandi (Le Cerf) is recorded in Italy for the first ti- me. Remarks regarding the collected specimens are given, together with notes on the habitat. A concise differential analysis between P. bertrandi and some other re- presentatives of the genus is provided, including comparative pictures of male ge- nitalia. RIASSUNTO - In questa nota viene data notizia dei primi reperti in territorio ita- liano del Lepidottero Epialide Pharmacis bertrandi (Le Cerf). Si forniscono i dati relativi alle catture effettuate e all’habitat, ed inoltre si mettono in luce alcuni ca- ratteri che distinguono P. bertrandi dalle specie maggiormente affini, e ne viene il- lustrato l’apparato copulatore maschile. INTRODUZIONE Gli Hepialidae sono una famiglia di Lepidotteri molto primitiva; gli adulti sono privi di spirotromba e quindi incapaci di nutrirsi; ciò rende la loro vita allo stato di adulto molto breve. Molti caratteri presenti in questo gruppo suggeriscono l’arcaicità della famiglia, in particolare la loro struttu- ra alare, con nervature perfettamente corrispondenti sia nelle ali anteriori che in quelle posteriori (divisione Homoneura, contrapposta a Heteroneu- ra); inoltre le due paia di ali sono collegate da una struttura detta “jugum”, * Via Div.

November 2019 Suzanne Burgess and Joanna Lindsay
November 2019 Suzanne Burgess and Joanna Lindsay Saving the small things that run the planet 0 Summary Pot beetles (genus Cryptocephalus) are a fascinating group of beetles. Of the 19 species found in the UK, eleven have been recorded in Scotland and seven of these have conservation designations. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) provided funding to Buglife through the ‘Spotting Pot Beetles’ project to run surveys and workshops to raise awareness and improve participants identification skills of the different species of pot beetles and their leaf beetle relatives. During the summer of 2019 surveys with volunteers were carried out at Kirkconnell Flow Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Dumfries and Galloway to survey for the Six- spotted pot beetle (Cryptocephalus sexpunctatus) and at the Black Wood of Rannoch in Perthshire to survey for the Ten-spotted pot beetle (Cryptocephalus decemmaculatus). The 2019 surveys successfully found both target species, 17 adults of the Six-spotted pot beetles were recorded at Kirkconnell Flow, 15 of which were within a new area at the site, and Ten- spotted pot beetles were recorded in two areas of a new 1km square within the Black Wood of Rannoch. Guidance is provided within this document on managing habitat at both Kirkconnell Flow and Black Wood of Rannoch for their pot beetles to ensure the long term survival of both species in Scotland. 1 Contents Page Page 1.

Forstschutz Aktuell Nr. 59 - Abstracts First Experiences with Wood Packaging-Inspections in Austria according Implementing Decision 2013/92/EU Hannes Krehan st Since 1 of April 2013 member states are obliged to implement a new decision of the EU commission concerning import- inspection of wood packaging material (WPM) imported from China with granite stone consignments at fixed frequencies before customs clearance. In the first year, till 14 April 2014, 451 shipments (1.374 containers) were inspected by the Austrian plant protection organization. In 44 cases (9.8 %), non-compliance was reported. In 38 consignments, living stages of Cerambycidae were found, among them Anoplophora glabripennis, Trichoferus campestris and Apriona germari. The Pine Wood Nematode - a Contingency Plan for Austria Christian Tomiczek The Pine Wood Nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is one of the most dangerous invasive pests in the world. It is native to the American continent, where it causes no damage to native conifers. Its introduction to Japan, China, South Korea, Mexico as well as to Portugal mainland, Spain and Madeira, however, led to tremendous damage. Therefore, all EU member states are obliged by the EU directive 2012/535/EU to issue a contingency plan by the end of 2013. A working group developed the contingency plan for Austria that lists emergency measures in case of a pine wood nematode infestation. 'Herpotrichia' Needle Browning of Silver Fir - An Error and its Revision Heinz Butin For many years, the fungus Nematostoma parasiticum (syn. Herpotrichia parasitica) has been considered to be the cause of 'needle browning' of Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). Recent literature has increasingly expressed doubts in the view taken by Robert Hartig (1884). -

Brachyptery and Aptery in Lepidoptera
Vol. 2 No. 1 1991 HEPPNER: Brachyptery 11 TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA, 2(1): 11-40 BRACHYPTERY AND APTERY IN LEPIDOPTERA J. B. HEPPNER1 Florida State Collection of Arthropods Bureau of Entomology, DPI, FDACS, P.O. Box 147100, Gainesville, FL 32614, USA ABSTRACT.- The conditions of wing reduction (brachyptery) and loss of wings (aptery), and modifications thereof, are reviewed across all known families of Lepidoptera where this has been observed in either males or females, or both sexes. Brachyptery or aptery is known in 35 families of Lepidoptera, including families or species where a kind of brachyptery is only evident as extreme wing reduction of the hind wings. Examples from most families known to have brachyptery of some form are illustrated among 147 figures. KEY WORDS: Alucitidae, Anthelidae, Arctiidae, Blastobasidae, Brachodidae, Carposinidae, Cosmopterigidae, Cossidae, Ctenuchinae, Elachistidae, Epiplemidae, Eriocottidae, Gelechiidae, genetics, Geometridae, Glyphipterigidae, Gracillariidae, Hepialidae, Heterogynidae, Himantopteridae, Lasiocampidae, Lecithoceridae, Limacodidae, Lycaenidae, Lymantriidae, Lyonetiidae, Noctuidae, Notodontidae, Oecophoridae, Oxychirotidae, Papilionidae, Psychidae, Pterophoridae, Pyralidae, Scythrididae, Sesiidae, Somabrachyidae, Sphingidae, Syntominae, Thyretidae, Thyrididae, Tineidae, Tortricidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae. Brachyptery (wing reduction) or aptery (loss of wings) is an unusual phenomenon in adults among several orders of insects (La Greca, 1954). In Lepidoptera, brachyptery has been reviewed -
