It includes empirical and theoretical research in all aspects of Lepidopterology (Systematic, Taxonomy, Phylogeny, Morphology, Bionomics, Ecology, Faunistics and Zoogeography, also bibliographical papers or those on the history of Lepidopterology, as well as book reviews on the topics mentioned) from all over the world with special emphasis of study of Conservation Biology.</p> https://shilap.org/revista/article/view/480 Description of previously unknown females of three Euriphene Boisduval, 1847 species and the unknown male of Bebearia inepta Hecq, 2001 from Western Africa, with notes on their taxonomy, bionomy and distribution (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Limenitidinae) 2023-08-29T17:58:44+02:00 Sz.

Tropek robert.tropek@gmail.com <p>During extensive field research of fruit-feeding Lepidoptera in various West African forests, we have collected a rich material of several rare or poorly known species. Among them we identified four species, where only one of the sexes was described. Here, we describe unknown females of <em>Euriphene lomaensis</em> Belcastro, 1986, <em>E. taigola</em> Sáfián &amp; Warren-Gash, 2009 and <em>E. bernaudi</em> Hecq, 1994 with reference to the latter species’ taxonomic position (stat. rev.). We also describe the male of <em>Bebearia inepta</em> Hecq, 2001. We report observations on their habitats and behaviour and review their known distribution.</p> 2019-12-30T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2019 Sz. Sáfián, S. C. Collins, C. Belcastro, O. Brattström, R.

Özdemir mustafaozdemir11@ogm.gov.tr <p>In this study, 3399 specimens belonging to 188 species of the Geometridae (Lepidoptera) family were examined. Species composition and abundance rates of Geometridae communities were analyzed with respect to the plant formations of the region as deciduous forests, dry coniferous-oak forests, humid coniferous forests, pseudomaquis and farmlands. The results also indicates that 26 species in deciduous forests, 23 species in coniferous-oak forests, 20 species in humid coniferous forests, 20 in pseudomaquis and 20 species in farmlands have high abundance rate. The highest rates of abundance in deciduous forests and dry coniferous-oak forests belong to <em>Cyclophora linearia</em> (Hübner, [1799]) with 14,7% and <em>Peribatodes rhomboidaria</em> ([Denis &amp; Schiffermüller], 1775) 13,1%, respectively. Also, the highest rates of abundance in humid coniferous forests and pseudomaquis belong to <em>Scotopteryx moeniata</em> (Scopoli, 1763) with 23,46% and <em>Cyclophora puppillaria</em> (Hübner, [1799]) with 19,83%. Species richness is much higher in deciduous forests than it is in other habitats. Faunal similarities between the Geometridae communities are reported below 50% among all habitats. The highest faunal similarity was found to be between dry coniferous-oak forests followed by the second highest similarity between pseudomaquis and deciduous forests.</p> 2019-12-30T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2019 https://shilap.org/revista/article/view/497 Contribution to the knowledge of the Genus Euchromia Hübner, [1819] 1816 in Equatorial Guinea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae, Euchromiini) 2023-08-29T17:56:50+02:00 A. Vives Moreno avives1954@outlook.es <p>In the course of the reorganization and cataloguing of the Lepidoptera material deposited in the Entomology Collection of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN), in Madrid, Spain, under the name “Exotic”, we have revised two species of Genus <em>Euchromia</em> Hübner, [1819] 1816, originating in exploratory work carried out by different Spanish Scientists. Spanish Guinea was divided into two provinces after 1959: Fernando Poo province, including Fernando Poo and Annobon Islands and Rio Muni province, including the continental territory of Rio Muni and the islands of Elobey Grande, Elobey Chico and Corisco. It became an independent country in 1968, taking the name of Republic of Equatorial Guinea.<br />According to our investigations, two species of this Genus are present in Equatorial Guinea: <em>Euchromia guineensis</em> (Fabricius 1775) and <em>Euchromia lethe</em> (Fabricius 1775). In this work we revise their distribution and carry out the study of both male and female genitalia.</p> 2019-12-30T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2019 https://shilap.org/revista/article/view/498 Butterfly diversity in different habitats in Simian Mountain Nature Reserve, China (Insecta: Lepidoptera) 2023-08-29T17:56:47+02:00 Q.-L. Yang duxicui@hotmail.com Y. Zeng duxicui@hotmail.com Y. Yang duxicui@hotmail.com X.-C. Du duxicui@hotmail.com <p>Butterflies, as environmental indicators, can act as representatives for less well-monitored insect groups. In this study, a field survey was conducted in five fixed-distance belt transects during three years. Four indices were used to indicate the butterfly diversity. A total of 3004 individuals of 151 species belonging to 82 genera in 6 families were recorded in the survey. Among them, 67 species were recorded in Simian Mountain for the first time, and <em>Celastrina argiolus</em> (Linnaeus, 1758) was the dominant species; Nymphalidae was the dominant family. Among the five habitats, the species diversity of butterfly in Sample V was the highest, closely followed by that in Sample I in which ecological environment was relatively intact; and the diversity of butterfly in Sample IV, in which human<br>interference was strong, was least. According to our research, the butterfly diversity in habitats with better ecological environments was higher; while the butterfly diversity in habitats with the most intact ecological environment was not the highest; strong human interference could significantly decrease the diversity of butterfly.</p> 2019-12-30T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2019 https://shilap.org/revista/article/view/500 Contribution to the knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Spain, with the description of a new genus and a new species for our fauna (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae, Phycitinae) 2023-08-29T17:55:16+02:00 J.
