Abstract: The paper summarizes the faunistic data of Agonopterix Hübner, [1825] and Depressaria Haworth, 1811 species from Spain partly based on our own research and partly on collection vouchers obtained from colleagues. In total, four species are new for the Iberian Peninsula, namely A. flurii Sonderegger, 2013, A. hippomarathri (Nickerl, 1864) Depressaria floridella Mann, 1864 and Depressaria pseudobadiella Nel, 2011, and one more for the Spanish fauna: Depressaria cinderella Corley, 2002 The photographs of adults of these taxa and their genitalia are presented. Beside them, the records of A. carduncelli Corley, 2017, A. kuznetzovi Lvovsky, 1983, and A. selini (Heinemann, 1870) are reported from Spain only for the second time. The following taxa are removed from the Spanish fauna: Depressaria cervicella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854, Depressaria pimpinellae Zeller, 1839 and Depressaria tenebricosa Zeller, 1854. An updated checklist of Agonopterix and Depressaria from the Spanish mainland is given.

Keywords: Lepidoptera, Depressariidae, Agonopterix, Depressaria, new records, Iberian Peninsula, Spain.

Introduction

The genera Agonopterix Hübner, [1825] and Depressaria Haworth, 1811 comprise some conspicuous species which are clearly distinguishable but identification of many species remains difficult. In recent years the revision of some groups has lead to the description of new species, but in some groups revision is ongoing. The present paper is a continuation of work of the first author on one of the next volumes of Microlepidoptera of Europe, and summarizes the faunistic data from the Spanish mainland.

Material and methods

The trips were organized between the years 2003 and 2010. The material was collected at light, mainly at fluorescent tubes 8 W. Many records are obtained from museum and private collections, see the list of collections. The localities cited in the text are alphabetically listed in the following table. Other mentioned material originated from various private or museum collections.

Determination is based generally on genitalia preparation, and in some cased it had been confirmed by barcode. All mentioned sequences are accessible via the public dataset DS-DEEUR345 (for access, enter public data portal http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Public_BINSearch?searchtype=records_and_search_for_DS-DEEUR345).

Remark: A. flurii was described from Valais in Switzerland (SONDEREGGER, 2013). It has since been recorded also from France (RYMARCZYK et al., 2013), Turkey (BUCHNER, 2017), and Crimea (SAVCHUK & KAJGORODOVA, 2017). The larva feeds on Centaurea scabiosa. New species for Iberian Peninsula and Spain.

Agonopterix ciliella (Stainton, 1849)

GUIPÚZCOA, Ubegun, 15-VIII-1998, 1, J. Sumpich leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18279 (NMPC).

Agonopterix hippomarathri (Nickerl, 1864) (figs 5-6)

CUENCA, Monteagudo de las Salinas, IX-2008, 1, L ́. Srnka leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 2179 P. Buchner, Barcode TLMF Lep 17679 (SRNKA); TERUEL, Albarracín, 7-VIII-2010, 1, J. Sumpich leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18218 (NMPC).

Remark: It is widely distributed mainly in central Europe, recorded also in France, Greece, Sardinia, Corsica and Ukraine (LVOVSKY, 2013). Larva develops on Seseli sp., predominantly on S. hippomarathrum Jacq. New species for Iberian Peninsula and Spain.

Agonopterix kaekeritziana (Linnaeus, 1767)

GRANADA, Diezma, 17-VI-2007, 1, A. & Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC).

Agonopterix kuznetzovi Lvovsky, 1983 (figs 7-8)

ALMERÍA, Barjalí, 29-VII-2005, 1, V. Gervenka leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 6215 P. Buchner, Barcode TLMF Lep 23314 (SKYVA).

Remark: A. kuznetzovi was described from Orenburg Region in Russia and one paratype originated also from Central Asia (?Kyzil-Asker’) (LVOVSKY, 1983). In Great Britain it was known already before 1983 but only after its description the occurrence in this country was published (LANGMAID & PELHAM-CLINTON, 1984). In Great Britain it is very local and overlooked for a long time (EMMET & LANGMAID, 2002). Just recently it was found in Turkey (BUCHNER, 2017a), and in Spain (VIVES MORENO & GASTÓN, 2017). This Spanish record originates from Álava province in the Basque country (VIVES MORENO & GASTÓN, 2017). Our record was taken at the opposite side of Spain, in Andalucia, and it seems the species is generally distributed in Spain but also only overlooked. Larva feeds on Serratula tinctoria L. New province record, and the second from Iberian Peninsula.

Remark: Verified records originate from central Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia), Balkans, Finland, France, Italy, and Turkey (BUCHNER, 2017b). Only one record from Spain was available so far from Huesca (MURRIA-BELTRÁN et al., 2004). We add additional records from Aragon, identification of one specimen is also confirmed by genetic data. The second records from the Iberian Peninsula.

Agonopterix subpropinquella (Stainton, 1849)

ALICANTE: Santa Pola, 27-IV-2008, 2♂♂, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); ALMERÍA, Níjar, 9-V-2005, 1, M. Dvorˇák leg. (NMPC).

TERUEL: Albarracín, 28-VII-2010, 1♀, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); Barjalí, 29-VII-2005, 1, V. Gervenka leg. (SKYVA).

Depressaria absynthiella Herrich-Schäffer, 1865

ALMERÍA, Alto del Calar del Gallinero, 17-18-VI-2007, 3♂♂, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); HUESCA, Candasnos, 13-VI-2011, 1, A. & Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC); TERUEL, Sierra de Javalambre, 5-6-VIII- 2010, 2♂♂, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); Vivel del Río Martín, 24-VI-2001, 1, 1 ♀, Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC).

Remark: In Spain probably widely distributed species, mainly in mountain areas. Apparently it was overlooked in the past because the occurrence was published only recently from Lérida in Cataluña (DANTART et al., 2010). The first records from Aragón and Andalucía.

Depressaria adustatella Turati, 1927

ALMERÍA, Calar Alto, 11-VII-2007, 1, J. Procházka leg. (SKYVA); MADRID, Colmenar de Oreja, 12-13-X-2009, 3♂♂, 5♀♀, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); ZARAGOZA, Castejón de Monegros, 23-V-1996, 1, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC).

Depressaria albipunctella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

GRANADA, La Sagra, 21-VI-2009, 1♀, A. & Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC); HUESCA, Candasnos, 13- VI-2011, 1, A. & Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC); TERUEL, Torres de Albarracín, 4-V-2003, 1, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); TOLEDO, Robledo del Mazo, 19-VI-2002, 1♀, Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC).

Depressaria badiella (Hübner, 1796) (only females mentioned) (figs 12-13)

TERUEL: Albarracín, 23-24-IX-2005, 2♀♀, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); Pozondón, 18-X-2016, 1♀, J. Viehmann leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 6110 P. Buchner (SCHMITZ); TOLEDO, Buenasbodas, 16-VI- 2004, 1♀, Z. Lastuvka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18277 (NMPC); ZARAGOZA, Mediana, 8-X-2008, 1♀, J. Procházka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18276 (SKYVA).

Depressaria pseudobadiella Nel, 2011 (only females or barcoded specimens mentioned) (figs 9-11)

HUESCA, Candasnos, 30-V-2015, 1, J. Viehmann leg., Barcode TLMF Lep 19151 (SCHMITZ); TERUEL, Valdovécar, 3-X-2015, 1♀, J. Viehmann leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 4853 P. Buchner, Barcode TLMF Lep 23217 (SCHMITZ); ZARAGOZA, Bujaroloz, 19-X-2015, 1, J. Viehmann leg., Barcode TLMF Lep 23228 (SCHMITZ).

Remark: Recently described species from France (NEL, 2011). It is easily separable from Depressaria badiella (Hübner, 1796) based on female genitalia but inseparable based on male genitalia or external features. DNA-barcode seems to be helpful to separate these two taxa: sequencing of 15 specimens of D. badiella and 11 of D. pseudobadiella during preparatory work for “Microlepidoptera of Europe: Depressariinae“ show these two taxa in clearly separated clusters, with 3 subclusters in each taxon. However, further research is necessary to be sure if barcode brings certain identification. New species for Spain.

Depressaria cinderella Corley, 2002 (figs 14-17)

JAÉN, Aldeaquemada, 20-VI-2013, 2♂♂, A. & Z. Lastuvka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18223 (NMPC); TOLEDO, Robledo del Mazo, 19-VI-2002, 1, Z. Lastuvka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18225 (NMPC).

Remark: Described from Portuguese material (CORLEY, 2002). In 2017 its occurrence was published also from Spain (Lendoño Goikoa in the País Vasco) (VIVES MORENO & GASTÓN, 2017) but this specimen belongs in fact to Depressaria incognitella Hannemann, 1990. With regard to this fact we bring the first records from Spain here. The larva feeds on Conopodium. New species for Spain.

Depressaria daucella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

ALICANTE: San Juan, 21-VI-2003, 1, Z. Lastuvka leg. (NMPC).

Depressaria discipunctella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854

ALMERÍA, Alto del Calar del Gallinero, 17-18-VI-2007, 2♂♂, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); GRANADA, Otívar, 14-VI-2004, 1♀, Z. Lastuvka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18278 (NMPC).

Remark: Before the description of Depressaria junnilaineni Buchner, 2017, it was not distinguished from D. discipunctella (BUCHNER, 2017c). Therefore older records of D. discipunctella are worth a critical check.

Depressaria junnilaineni Buchner, 2017

ALMERÍA: Níjar, 13-14-VI-2007, 1, M. Dvorˇák leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18291 (NMPC).

Remark: The first record outside of the type series.

(NMPC); ZARAGOZA, Castejón de Monegros, 20-IX-2005, 1, 1♀, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC); Monegrillo, 21-IX-2005, 2♀♀, J. Sumpich leg. (NMPC).

Depressaria eryngiella Millière, 1881

ALMERÍA, Alto del Calar del Gallinero, 18-VI-2007, 1, J. Sumpich leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 6360 P. Buchner (NMPC); Níjar, 13-14-VI-2007, 1♀, J. Sumpich leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18292 (NMPC); TERUEL, Aliaga, 27-V-2003, 1♀, J. Procházka leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 6216 P. Buchner (SKYVA).

Depressaria floridella Mann, 1864 (figs 18-19)

TERUEL: Albarracín, 26-VI-2001, Z. Lastuvka leg., gen. prep. J. Sumpich 18219 (NMPC); Moscardón, 26-VI-2016, 1, J. Viehmann leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 4782 P. Buchner (SCHMITZ); Albarracín, 25-VI-2016, 1, J. Viehmann leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 4791 P. Buchner (SCHMITZ); Valdovécar, 4-VIII-2007, 1, P. Skule and P. Skou leg., gen. prep. DEEUR 5383 P. Buchner (ZMUC).

Remark: The species was described from Turkey, and later it was found in Greece (HANNEMANN, 1988; LVOVSKY, 2013). Based on study of the type material deposited in NHMW material from the Czech Republic was correctly identified also (SUMPICH et al., 2013). Later very old Bohemian material D. floridella from the second half of the 19th century was found in the Nickerl collection (NMPC), confirming that the species has been overlooked to date. Similarly, the first Slovakian record from 1976 was published only recently (PASTORALIS et al., 2017). At present, its occurrence is known also from France (LISKA, 2015) and in preparing “Microlepidoptera of Europe: Depressariinae“, specimens from Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Russia and Georgia have been found. The bionomy was not hitherto described in detail but the larva develops on Seseli sp. (Apiaceae), e.g. Seseli arenarium (A. Lvovsky, pers. comm.). New species for Iberian Peninsula and Spain.

Depressaria olerella Zeller, 1854

TERUEL, Sierra de Javalambre, 6-VIII-2010, 1, M. Dvorˇák leg. (NMPC). Remark: Widely distributed in central, northern and eastern Europe, very rare in western Europe. This species was first reported from Spain in Gerona in 2013 (DANTART & JUBANY, 2013). We add the first record from Aragon.

Unconfirmed occurrence of Agonopterix Hübner, 1825 and Depressaria Haworth, 1811 in Spain

Some Agonopterix and Depressaria species which have been listed for the Spanish fauna do not have any reliable recent records. Here we discuss only taxa for which the occurrence in Spain can be assessed against the background of knowledge obtained from the study of these genera in the whole of Europe. Therefore further modification of the presented checklist may be needed in the future.

Depressaria cervicella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 was first included in the catalogue of Spanish moths by Agenjo (1966), and later this information was taken up by other authors, see also the comment of REQUENA & DE-GREGORIO (2015). In the past some entomologists incorporated Depressaria pyreneella Sumpich, 2013 into series of D. cervicella (e.g. in NHMW by H. Zerny), and it is possible that today ́s situation was created by such confusion (H. Zerny collected in Spain, and also was in contact with many colleagues at that time). At present we are inclined to think the occurrence of D. cervicella in the Iberian Peninsula is not reliable confirmed, and we are removing it from the Spanish checklist.

Depressaria genistella Walsingham, 1903 was removed from the list of Spanish fauna already by REQUENA & DE-GREGORIO (2015).

Depressaria pimpinellae Zeller, 1839. Recently revised taxon within whole Europe. Spanish records belong to the newly described Depressaria villosae Corley & Buchner, 2018.

Depressaria tenebricosa Zeller, 1854 is distributed in south-eastern Europe. All published records require revision (REQUENA & DE-GREGORIO, 2015). They most probably belong to D. adustatella which is widely distributed in the whole territory of Spain.

Update checklist of Agonopterix Hübner, 1825 and Depressaria Haworth, 1811

The presented list is based on the checklist of VIVES MORENO (2014). References are given only to species recorded after the publishing of the mentioned catalogue. The presented list is only provisional because some species groups require taxonomic revision, see also previous chapter.
