This butterfly species has been described by the Saxon actor Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1808. It is native to the entire Palearctic region, and has been introduced to North America by man. From its European congeneric Thymelicus sylvestris, with which it often occurs in the same habitat and at the same time, it is best distinguished by the black tips of the antennae in frontal view. Welcome ©Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica; download unter http://www.soceurlep.eu/ und www.zobodat.at Dear Lepidopterists – Welcome to Butterfly Saxony! I would like to welcome you to Saxony, a federal state of Germany with a long and famous tradition in Lepidopterology. The capital of Saxony, Dresden, is home to the Dresden Museum of Zoology, whose origins date back to the 16th century when stuffed bodies of animals were kept as treasures in the Saxon court which was founded by Augustus, Elector of Saxony (reg. 1553 – 1586). The official foundation of the museum itself was in 1728, when the scientific collections moved from the castle to the newly built Zwinger palace. Unfortunately, the first Lepidoptera collections were entirely destroyed by fire during the revolution in 1849. In the 19th century, natural sciences became very popular, and bourgeois societies were founded in Görlitz, Dresden and Leipzig. During that time, Dresden became a true metropolis of Lepidopterology. Here, Dr. Otto Staudinger (1830 – 1900) established his insect trading company in 1859. In 1862, the Entomological Society “Entomologischer Verein Iris zu Dresden” was founded and published the famous journal Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift Iris. Its membership comprised well-known lepidopterologists from all over the world. As a result of this heyday, many butterfly and moth collections were given to the Museum of Zoology Dresden. Johannes Draeseke (1892 – 1970), who ren- dered outstanding services as a preparator for many decades in these collections, successfully saved the most important parts of the collection from destruction by World War II. Today, the Lepidoptera collection comprises more than 6,000 draw- ers, including over 800,000 butterflies and moth specimens of 23,500 species from all over the world. The number of primary types is at about 1,000 species. Some of the most important contributions are those of European and Southeast-Asian Lycaenidae by Carl Ribbe (1860–1934), the Lepidoptera from Tibet by Walter Stötzner (1882 – 1965) and the Zygaenidae by Manfred Koch (1901 – 1972). On a regional scale, the Dresden collection is a comprehensive archive of vouch- ers of the last 150 years, documenting extinctions, fluctuations and first arriv- als of Lepido ptera in Saxony. Among its contributions is that of Ernst Möbius (1869 – 1945), who lived in Dresden and Radebeul. Möbius published the fauna of “Macrolepidoptera” from the kingdom of Saxony in 1905 as well as the fauna of “Microlepidoptera” of Dresden and its surroundings in 1936. A vast amount of records for these two works come from the Lössnitz area, where our congress venue is situated. On behalf of the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research, of which the Museum of Zoology Dresden is an integral part today, and the Societas Europaea Lepido- pterologica, it is an honour for me to welcome you in Radebeul as participants 3 Welcome ©Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica; download unter http://www.soceurlep.eu/ und www.zobodat.at of the XIXth European Congress of Lepidopterology. With respect to the lepido- pterological history of Saxony, I am very proud to host this congress and welcome participants from so many parts of the world. I am looking forward to a success- ful and inspiring conference as well as an interesting excursion and hope you will enjoy your stay in Radebeul.
