Nuevas e interesantes citas portuguesas de Lepidoptera en 2018 (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

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.

List of families and species

NEPTICULIDAE

ERIOCOTTIDAE

Delete Eriocottis andalusiella Rebel, 1901

All Portuguese records belong to E. hispanica. The first record (MONTEIRO & CARVALHO, 1984) predates the description of E. hispanica. Subsequent records were assumed to be E. andalusiella after comparison with material in NHMUK, which had evidently not been curated following the description of E. hispanica. There is currently no evidence supporting the occurrence of E. andalusiella in Portugal.

Recent literature

BIDZILYA et al. (2019) point out that Oxypteryx Rebel, 1911 is a senior synonym of Eulamprotes Bradley, 1971.

BUCHNER & CORLEY (2019) describe Agonopterix olusatri Corley & Buchner from Algarve and elsewhere in southern Europe. This species has long been misidentified as A. chironiella (Constant, 1893), which must be removed from the Portuguese list.

CORLEY et al. (2018) add 24 species to the Portuguese list.

CORLEY et al. (2019) describe Depressaria infernella Corley & Buchner, from Portugal and Spain.

CORLEY et al. (2019) describe Ypsolopha rhinolophi Corley from Portugal and France. HODGES (1986) placed Dichomeris lamprostoma (Zeller, 1847) (under the name of its synonym Gelechia zulu Walsingham, 1881) in genus Helcystogramma Zeller, 1877. This placement appears to have been overlooked until recently.

HUEMER & KARSHOLT (2018) have revised the large genus Megacraspedus Zeller, 1839 (Gelechiidae) describing many new species. They recognise four species in Portugal: M. trineae Huemer & Karsholt, sp. n., M. occidentellus Huemer & Karsholt, sp. n., M. ibericus Huemer & Karsholt, sp. n and M. quadristictus Lhomme, 1946. Of the two species previously recorded in Portugal (CORLEY, 2015) they question the presence of M. binotellus (Duponchel, 1843) in Portugal and Spain and they have no Portuguese records for M. subdolellus Staudinger, 1859, which they place in synonymy with M. lanceolellus (Zeller, 1850). Of the four species recognised from Portugal they give records of M. trineae from BAL, BB and BA, of M. occidentellus from E, of M. ibericus from BA and TM and of M. quadristictus from ALG and E. M. occidentellus is endemic to Portugal.

LAŠTUVKA & LAŠTUVKA (2019) add Chelis maculosa (Gerning, 1780) and Helotropha leucostigma (Hübner, 1808) to the Portuguese fauna.

MACIÀ et al. (2019) revise the genera Coscinia Hübner, 1819 and Spiris Hübner, 1819. C. benderi Marten, 1957, with no published record from Portugal, is reduced to subspecies rank under C. cribraria, but the form chrysocephala of C. cribraria is raised to species. C. chrysocephala (Hübner, 1804) is widespread in the south of Portugal and known from Algarve and Baixo Alentejo (Corley, unpublished records). C. chrysocephala was not mentioned for Portugal in any published works. It has not been recorded separately from C. cribraria, so the precise distributions of the two species need revision.

MÜLLER et al. (2019) include the description of Afriberina salemae Skou & Sihvonen, sp. n., closely related to A. tenietaria. Earlier records of Afriberina Wehrli, 1947 from central and western parts of Algarve (under the names of A. terraria (Bang-Haas, 1907) or A. tenietaria (Staudinger, 1900) belong to the new species, but not all localities are mentioned under its description. Additional records are given in the current paper. Afriberina records from eastern Baixo Alentejo belong to A. tenietaria. Other changes are listed here, including some relating to earlier volumes of Geometrid Moths of Europe which are given in an updated checklist of European Geometridae in volume 6, resulting in changes to the Portuguese list.

Isturgia pulinda deerraria (Walker, 1861) is raised to species rank.

Isturgia pulinda pulinda (Walker, 1860) is not in Portugal.

Gnopharmia stevenaria (Boisduval, 1940) is moved to genus NeognopharmiaWehrli, 1951.

Gnophos perspersata Treitschke, 1827 is newly combined into genus Ortaliella Hausmann, 1993

Charissa avilarius is reduced to subspecies level as Charissa crenulata (Staudinger, 1871) ssp. avilarius Reisser, 1936

Tephronia oranaria (Staudinger, 1892) is newly combined into genus Eumannia Fletcher, 1979

Idaea exilaria (Guenée, 1858) and Idaea manicaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1852) are newly combined into genus Brachyglossina Wagner, 1914.

There are also extensive changes to the order of subfamilies and genera used in CORLEY (2015), particularly in the subfamily Ennominae. These changes are not followed here because many of the placements are tentative and therefore subject to further change.
