Introduction

This paper is the eleventh 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 2016, 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 2016 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 correct position in the checklist; new genera for Portugal have author and year of publication given.

32 species new for Portugal are listed below, of which seven are new for the Iberian Peninsula. 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. (2016) the number of Lepidoptera species recognised from Portugal was 2626. With the current paper and other papers mentioned herein, this total has risen to 2657.

Material and Methods

Most species were captured at mercury vapour light over or beside a white sheet, but a few were taken at Heath-type traps with 8 w black actinic tubes. 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 CASTROVIEJO (1986- 2015) where possible and otherwise follows TUTIN et al. (1964-1980).

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.

Recent Literature

BALDIZZONE (2016) reveals that Coleophora murciana Toll, 1960 is the previously unknown male of C. perplexella Toll, 1960. The two species are therefore synonymised, with C. perplexella treated as the senior name. Both have been recorded from Portugal (CARVALHO & CORLEY, 1995; CORLEY, 2015).

CORLEY et al. (2016) add 39 species to the Portuguese fauna and delete one.

GASTÓN et al. (2016) show that Hypsotropa vulneratella (Zeller, 1848) described from Sicily, is not present in the Iberian Peninsula, where it is replaced by a new species (H. vazqueziGastón, Macià, Ylla & Huertas, 2016). In Portugal, the genus has been recorded only from Algarve. No Portuguese specimens were examined by GASTÓN et al. (2016), but they are considered to belong to the new species due to the proximity to populations in Huelva, Spain.

SKOU et al. (2016) revise the genus Ekboarmia, and describe a new species E. miniaria Skou, Stüning & Sihvonen from Baixo Alentejo, Portugal.

TABELL & WIKSTRÖM (2016) add Coleophora proterella Wikström & Tabell, 2016 to the Portuguese list. The record replaces that for C. virgaureae (CORLEY et al., 2012; CORLEY, 2015) which was misidentified.

VAN NIEUKERKEN et al. (2016) provide a new global classification and catalogue of Nepticuloidea. This includes recognition of Glaucolepis Braun, 1917 as a genus separate from Trifurcula, and Fomoria Beirne, 1945 and Zimmermannia M. Hering, 1940 as genera separate from Ectoedemia. The genus Acalyptris is placed after Parafomoria. No subfamilies are recognised within either Nepticulidae or Opostegidae. New combinations for Portuguese species are given in the Appendix below.
