Two lepidoptera, Orthonama obstipata (Fabricius, 1794) (Geo.) and Ipimorpha contusa (Freyer, 1849) (Noc.) new to Norway, and faunistical comments on two rare noctuids. GEIR E.E. S0LI S01i, G.E.E. 1988. Two lepidoptera, Orthonama obstipata (Fabricius, 1794) (Geo.) and Ipimorpha contusa (Freyer, 1849) (Noc.) new to Norway, and faunistical com­ ments on two rare noctuids. Fauna norv. Ser. B. 35, 49-52. One female of the migrating Orthonama obstipata (Fabricius, 1794) was recorded from Gravastranda, Porsgrunn. According to the weather situation in the North Atlantic at the time the specimen was caught, it is stated that the specimen most probably has reached Norway from The British Isles. One male and one female ofIpimorpha contusa (Freyer, 1849) were recorded from Dammane, Porsgrunn. The species has a very restricted distribution; in Fennoscandia previously only known from the southernmost parts of Finland. Both species were taken in 1983, and recorded for the first time in Norway. Specimens of Cryphia domestica (Hufnagel, 1766) have been recorded from several localities in the surroundings of Porsgrunn. In Norway the species has not been recorded outside this area, where it seems to have a stable population. Apamea scolopacina (Esper, 1788) is recorded from Porsgrunn. The species has previously only been taken once in Norway. Geir E.E. S01i, Zoological Museum, University of Bergen, Museplass 3, N-5007 Ber­ gen, Norway.

In The British Isles no less than 56 specimens of O. obstipata were re­ corded during 1983, that means the species was more frequent than most years (Brether­ ton, pers.com.).

I. contusa has a highly disjunct distrib­ ution: In Asia it is recorded from the Chen­ tejn-mountains in Mongolia, and from the Amur and Ussuri area in the USSR; In Eu­ rope it is recorded in the surroundings of Thiiringen and Sachsen, in East Prussia and in the southeastern parts of Finland (Hanski & Kaisila 1971). In Finland the first specimen ofI. contusa, o a male, was taken in Vehkalahti, Etelii-Hiime on 23 August 1965. However, this specimen was not identified until a second specimen, a female, was caught in a light trap in Virolahti, Fig. 1.

    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

LVOVSKY А.Л. ЛЬВОВСКИЙ A.L. Lvovsky, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 1 Universitetskaya Emb., St Petersburg 199034, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] A new eastern-palaearctic monotypic genus of the gelechioid moths, Paralypusa gen. nov., is established for the Chinese species Paralypusa chinensis (Lvovsky, 2010), comb. nov. This genus is considered closely related to Lypusa Zeller, 1852 on the base of several synapomor- phies. However Paralypusa also shares some features with the genera Pseudatemelia Rebel, 1910 and Amphisbatis Zeller, 1870. Its transitional state confirms the belonging of all the afore- mentioned genera to one family and synonymy of the Lypusidae Herrich-Schäffer, 1857 and Amphisbatidae Spuler, 1910 (Nieukerken et al., 2011). Описан новый восточнопалеарктический монотипический род гелехиоидных чешуекры- лых Paralypusa gen. nov., включающий китайский вид Paralypusa chinensis (Lvovsky, 2010), comb. nov. Этот род сближается с родом Lypusa Zeller, 1852 на основании ряда синапоморфий. Тем не менее, Paralypusa также имеет признаки, общие с Pseudatemelia Rebel, 1910 и Amphisbatis Zeller, 1870. Его промежуточное положение подтверждает принадлежность всех вышеупомянутых родов к одному семейству и синонимию Lypusi- dae Herrich-Schäffer, 1857 and Amphisbatidae Spuler, 1910 (Nieukerken et al., 2011).
