Abstract: 14 species are added to the Portuguese Lepidoptera fauna and three species deleted, mainly as a result of fieldwork undertaken by the authors and others in 2018. In addition, second and third records for the country, new province records and new food-plant data for a number of species are included. A summary of recent papers affecting the Portuguese fauna is included.
Keywords: Insecta, Lepidoptera, distribution, Portugal.

Introduction
This paper is the thirteenth in the series of annual summaries of new knowledge of Portuguese Lepidoptera. It gives records of species of Lepidoptera added to the Portuguese fauna in 2018, together with new province records not included in the checklist (CORLEY, 2015). Additional data includes new data on larval food-plants within the country and second and third records of species for the country, which are only indicated when they are not in new provinces. Papers published in 2018 and part of 2019 that relate to the Portuguese Lepidoptera fauna are listed and briefly summarised. Finally an Appendix lists the new species for Portugal separately, with numbers indicating their position in the checklist; new genera for Portugal have author and year of publication given.
14 species new for Portugal are listed below, of which 2 are new for the Iberian Peninsula. Three species are removed from the Portuguese list. A few of the new species listed here have been previously listed for Portugal, but the records were rejected in CORLEY (2015), as being erroneous or unsubstantiated.
In CORLEY et al. (2018) the number of Lepidoptera species recognised from Portugal was 2689. With the current paper and other papers mentioned herein, this total has risen to 2709.
Material and Methods
Most species were captured at light in traps of various kinds, or over or beside a white sheet. For specimens not taken at light, the means of capture is given. Specimens are retained in the collections of the original recorders, unless otherwise stated. However, a few records are based only on photographic evidence.
The order and nomenclature of families and species has been revised in accordance with the new Portuguese list (CORLEY, 2015). The nomenclature of plant names follows the EURO+MED PLANT- BASE where possible.
The entry for species new for Portugal concludes with a summary of the known European distribution, and available information on the larval food-plant, given in square brackets if the information comes from outside Portugal.
