Península Ibérica), recopilando los datos bibliográficos existentes (sólo para dos especies) a los que se añaden otros nuevos como resultado del trabajo de campo del autor alcanzando un total de 13 especies. Entre los nuevos registros aportados se incluyen tres primeras citas para la provincia de Lugo: Drepana curvatula (Borkhausen, 1790), Watsonalla binaria (Hufnagel, 1767) y Cimatophorina diluta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775). Incluimos también nuevas citas de Drepanidae para otras localidades del resto del territorio gallego, entre las que aportamos las primeras de Falcaria lacertinaria (Linnaeus, 1758) para las provincias de Ourense y Pontevedra.

Abstract: Lepidoptera from O Courel (Lugo, Galicia, Spain, NW Iberian Peninsula) VII: Drepanidae (Lepidoptera). An updated and annotated list of the Drepanidae (Lepidoptera) know to occur in O Courel (Lugo, Galicia, Spain, NW Iberian Peninsula) is made, compiling the existing bibliographic records (only for two species) and reaching up to 13 species after adding new ones as a result of field work undertaken by the author. Amongst the new data the first records of Drepana curvatula (Borkhausen, 1790), Watsonalla binaria (Hufnagel, 1767) and Cimatophorina diluta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) for the province of Lugo are reported.

Biografija Aleksandra Trajković rođena je u Nišu, 9. novembra 1996. godine. Nakon završene osnovne škole, upisuje medicinsku školu dr Milenko Hadžić u Nišu, smer fizioterapeutski tehničar, i završava je sa odličnim uspehom. Osnovne akademske studije upisuje 2015. godine na Prirodno-matematičkom fakultetu u Nišu, na Departmanu za biologiju i ekologiju, koje završava u junu 2018. godine prosekom 9,00. Iste godine, upisuje master akademske studije na Departmanu za biologiju i ekologiju, smer Biologija. Letnji semestar akademske 2018/19 provodi na Erasmus+ programu studentske mobilnosti, na Univerzitetu u Bjalistoku, Poljska, na Institutu za biologiju i hemiju, koji završava sa najvišim ocenama. Master akademske studije završava u matičnoj ustanovi, prosečnom ocenom 9,94. Sažetak Identifikacija gusenica do nivoa pripadnosti užoj taksonomskoj kategoriji otežana je diverzitetom taksona u okviru reda Lepidoptera, kao i nedostatkom odgovarajuće literature za determinaciju. Heterogenost u morfologiji i ekologiji ove grupe organizama ukazuju na izuzetan biološki značaj, ali i na kompleksnost precizne identifikacije.

Notable habitats alongside New Road and in the neighbouring countryside. 4. Protected and notable species found on New Road and in the surrounding countryside. Appendix 1 - Historical land use in Little London and its influence on biodiversity. Appendix 2 - Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths) recorded on New Road, Little London 2004-2019 (generalised OS Grid Reference SU6159). Appendix 3 - Ageing Hedgerows. About the author : Paul Sterry has BSc and PhD in Zoology and Ecology from Imperial College, London. After 5 years as a Research Fellow at the University of Sussex working on freshwater ecology he embarked on a freelance career as a wildlife author and photographer. Over the last 35 years he has written and illustrated more than 50 books, concentrating mainly on British Wildlife, with the emphasis on photographic field guides. Best-selling titles include Collins Complete British Trees, Collins Complete British Wildlife and Collins Life-size Birds. Above: Barn Owl flying over grassland in the neighbourhood of New Road. 1. Summary Located in the Parish of Pamber, Little London is a Biodiversity hotspot with New Road at its environmental heart. Despite the name New Road is one of the oldest highways in the village and this is reflected in the range of wildlife found along its length, and in the countryside bordering it. New Road has significance for wildlife far beyond is narrow, single-track status. Its ancient hedgerows and adjacent meadows are rich in wildlife but of equal importance is its role as a corridor of wildlife connectivity.

PÉREZ DE-GREGORIO SUMARY In this article, the 10 species of Axiidae and Thyatirinae of the lberian peninsula are revievved, giving the flying time with another interesting data. By this work, the total num- ber of species of Thyatirinae knovvn from the lberian peninsula is increased from 8 to 9. Tetheella fluctuosa is the new record (also a nevv genus for the peninsu la). The distribution in the catalan countries (Eastern part of the lberian península) is given based on bibliogra- phical data and specially on new data from different col lections and captures, moreover, maps of the area (U.T.M.) of the 7 rarest species and a colour picture vvith the 10 species are included. RESUMEN. En el presente artículo se revisan las 10 especies ibéricas de los gruposAxiidae y Thya- tirinae, señalando las épocas de vuelo y otros datos de interés. Con este trabajo, el número de los Thyatirinae conocidos en la península Ibérica se aumenta de 8 a 9. La especie nueva es Tetheella fluctuosa (género también nuevo). En base a la bibliografía, y, sobre todo, a da- tos inéditos obtenidos de la consulta de diversas colecciones y las nuevas capturas, se da la distribución en los Países Catalanes (zona oriental de la península Ibérica). Finalmente, se incluyen mapas UTM de la zona, de las 7 especies más raras, y una fotografía de color de las 10 especies tratadas. La família dels cimatofórids, sinonímia dels tiatírids, compta amb més d'un centenar d'espècies, de mida mitjana (de 30 a 40 mm d'envergadura alar) i de distribució preferentment paleartica.
