Nat. Croat., Vol. 29, No. 2, 227-240, 2020, Zagreb. In 2016 and 2017 a survey of the butterflies and moth fauna of the island of Lokrum, Dubrovnik was carried out. A total of 208 species were recorded, which, together with 15 species from the literature, raised the total number of known species to 223. The results of our survey can be used as a baseline for the study of future changes in the Lepidoptera composition on the island. In comparison with the lit- erature records, eight butterfly species can be regarded as extinct from the island. The most probable reason for extinction is the degradation of the grassland habitats due to the natural succession as well as the introduction of the European Rabbit and Indian Peafowl. Their presence has probably had a tremendously detrimental effect on the native flora and fauna of the island. To conserve the Lepidop- tera fauna of the island, and the still remaining biodiversity, immediate eradication of these introduced species is needed.

In each year the trap operated from 5 March until 5 November. During the eight years altogether 127 929 specimens were collected belonging to 594 species, which is about 60% of the Hungarian fauna. 216 species occurred in each year. Noctuidae and Geometridae were most rich in spe- cies and most abundant. Arctiidae, Lasiocampidae, Notodontidae and Sphingidae were also represented in a considerable proportion. The analysis of the flight activity curves shows two summer peaks and also a smaller spring and an autumn peak. The faunal type composition of the species and their abundance, respectively, was the following: Transpalearctic (48.15%, 55.68%), Boreo Continental (18.86, 8.16%), South Continental (2.02%, 0.67%), West Palae- arctic (28.96%, 35.14%), Xeromontane (1.01%, 0.05%) and Extrapalaearctic (1.01%, 0.31%).

    The LepidopterologicalSocietyLepidopterological Society of Japan A Revision of Genus Demopsestis and Its Three Related Genera, withthe Description of a New Species from Taiwan Thyatiridae) (Lepidoptera, Hiroshi YosHiMoTo Tokyo High School, 39-1, Unoki 2-chome, Ota-ku,]46 Tokyo In this paper, I am going to deal with four related genera of Thyatiridae: Demopsestis MATsuMuRA, 1927, 7lakapsestis MATsuMuRA, I933, NeopJoca MATsuMuRA, 1927, and Asphalia HUBNER, [1821]. Demopsestis, 7bkapsestis and Neoptoca were each established for the reception of a single species, viz, Asphatia punctigera BuTLER, 1885, 7-kekapsestis ",ilemaniella MATsuMuRA, 1933, and Olina arctipennis BuTLER, 1878, respectively. A,gphalia was proposed for the two European species, Noctua diluta [DENis et ScHIFFERMVLLER], 1775, and IVbctua rttficoilis [DENis et ScHiFFERMULLER], 1775, and the latter was subsequently designated as the type-species of Asphalia by HARvEy, 1874. These genera have not been revised and the name Asphalia is not cur- rently used by European authors, who consider it a junier synonym of Polyploca `LA." HOBNER, [l821]. diluta is now treated as a sole member of the genus C),mato- phorima SpuLER, 1908. No further species has ever been included in the above genera. Through the kindness of Mr. M.R, HoNEy of the British Museum (Natural History), London, I could study the photos of the male genitalia of several Thyatiridae described under the genera PoLMploca or Paiimpsestis HOBNER, [1821], and 1 learned that seme of them should correctly be transferred into the genus 72ikapsestis. During my collecting trip to Taiwan, I obtained a fairly long series of specimens belonging to an undescribed species of the genus Demopsestis.

LÁSZLÓ, Gabor RONKAY, László RONKAY, Wolfgang SPEIDEL, Vassiliy D. KRAVCHENKO, Josef MOOSER & Thomas J. WITT Abstract The distribution, flight period and abundance of the three Israeli Thyatiridae and two Drepanidae species are summarized. The family Thyatiridae with the three species (Tethea ocularis (LINNAEUS, 1767), Asphalia ruficollis ([DENIS & SCHIFFERMÜLLER], 1775), and Polyploca laororshanae sp. nov.) is recorded from Israel for the first time. The latter species, Polyploca laororshanae sp. nov., is newly described from North Israel. Two Drepanidae species are known from previous publications, but Cilix asiatica BANG-HAAS, 1907 was previously misidentified as C. glaucata (SCOPOLI, 1763) and so C. glaucata must be replaced by C. asiatica in the Israeli list of Lepidoptera, while the occurence of Watsonalla binaria (HUFNAGEL, 1767) has been verified. The distribution, phenology, ecology, abundance and the association of these species with the main phyto-geographical zones, as well as their characteristic woodland habitats are described. 57 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Zusammenfassung Verbreitung, Flugzeit und Häufigkeit der drei israelischen Thyatiridae- und der beiden Drepanidae-Arten werden dargestellt.

September 1960 Imperial College Field Station, Silwood Park, Sunninehill. ABSTRACT The literature on resting habits in Lepidoptera is reviewed. An account of the higher classification of the Lepidoptera is given. Earlier descriptions of the lepidopterous wing base are reviewed and tables of comparative nomenclature are given for the wing base sclerites and the flight muscles. Microscopicalpreparations of wing bases were made and the cuticular elements were differentiated with Mallory's triple stain. It was found that a specialized type of cuticle was present wherever the sclerotized parts of the wing base were distorted during flight or wing folding. This was called "bending cuticle". Dissections of the thoracic musculature were made and some electrophysiological experiments were conducted to find out which muscles were involved in wing folding. Wing folding in living insects was observed and some operations were performed on live insects to determine how the wing was folded. The wing base morphology was found to have undergone considerable changes in the Lepidoptera from the more primitive to the most advanced forms. These structural modifications were associated with changes in the resting attitude. The thigmotactic and phototrectic responses of some Noctuoids were investigated by means of choice chambers. The interactions between these two factors and hydrotaxis and geotaxis were studied in Operophtera brumata. It was concluded that behaviour patterns have been evolved in nocturnal moths which enable them to settle in a suitable place of concealment at dawn.
