The Momphidae, Batrachedridae, Stathmopodidae, Agonoxenidae, Cosmopterigidae, and Chrysopeleiidae families are reviewed, with short diagnoses of all 163 species, and watercolour drawings of adults. One new genus and 10 new species described. 15 colour plates. Line drawings of male and female genitalia.
This book offers a collection of papers presented at the First International Conferenceā€¯ Information Technologies in the Research of Biodiversityā€¯ that was held from 11-14 September 2018 in Irkutsk (Russia). Papers in this book cover areas of interaction of knowledge on biodiversity and information technologies. The main topics include: methods, models, software systems for the analysis of biodiversity data; global data portals; information and analytical systems on biodiversity; application of remote methods in vegetation mapping; theoretical fundaments and organization technologies of the information and telecommunications infrastructures.
This second volume on Tineidae treats the subfamilies Myrmecozelinae, Perissomasticinae, Tineinae, Hieroxestinae, Teichobiinae and Stathmopolitinae of Europe. It presents information for the identification of 103 species of tineid moths. Information is added on the life history and distribution of each species. The distribution data are summarized in a table showing the records for each European country. 23 scientific names are synonymized and two taxa previously regarded as synonyms have proved to represent valid species. Additional records are listed for species treated in volume 7, as well as two taxa which were overlooked before and nine new species are listed.
Microlepidoptera of Europe: Depressariidae is the tenth volume in this series, providing descriptions and illustrations which will enable identification of all 192 species. For preparation more than 10000 specimens have been studied, including East Palearctic species. Barcodes were taken from nearly 3000 specimens. As a result, 28 species were described as new to science, 22 of these present in Europe. For the first time in a guide to species identification in a family of European Microlepidoptera traditional taxonomy based on morphology is backed up by molecular evidence. The last revision of the family which covered all Europe was published in 1910.
The series Microlepidoptera of Europe is intended to be a tool for identifying the European micro-moths. Each volume treats a systematic unit comprising about 100-300 species. This will usually mean a family or subfamily, but it can also be a single large genus, or a group of smaller families. Small and systematically unrelated groups may also be collected in one volume. The geographical area covered will be Europe, west of the former U.S.S.R., and include the Baltic countries. Authors may also include the adjacent parts of the western Palaearctic Region. Each volume will illustrate the adults of all species in full color, either by color photographs or watercolors. Sexual dimorphism and extensive polymorphism will also be illustrated. All species, except the largest, will be shown enlarged. The series has had very fine reviews in European entomological journals and is already regarded as a standard work of the 21st century.
The Gnorimoschemini (Gelechiidae: Gelechiinae) of Europe are reviewed in this volume. A total of 211 species is recognized, including two species not yet found in Europe and two others recently introduced. Descriptions and diagnoses are accompanied by colour figures of the adults (532 specimens are illustrated on 21 colour plates), usually depicting variation, and black and white photographs of male and female genitalia characters. Notes on distribution and bionomics are added for every species.
This first volume of Tineid Moths from Europe treats 180 species of the subfamilies Dryadaulinae, Hapsiferinae, Euplocaminae, Scardiinae, Nemapogoninae and Meessiinae. For each species a diagnosis, colour photos of the moths and line drawings of male and female genitalia are given for identification. Information is added on the life history and distribution of the species. The distribution data are summarised in a table showing the records for each European country. Seven scientific names are synonymised and one species is transferred to another genus.
The Eupithecia of China by Vladimir Mironov and Anthony Galsworthy offers a complete revision of the approximately 300 species occurring in China of this difficult genus of moths in the family Geometridae of the Lepidoptera. This fills a huge knowledge gap and clears up much taxonomic confusion resulting from limited earlier studies. All species are illustrated with colour photographs and the genitalia of both sexes, where known, are illustrated in excellent line drawings. The text gives full descriptions of all species, known distributions, hints on identification and, importantly, lists all known specimens in museum and private collections examined by the authors, thus providing a solid basis both for future researchers and collectors.
This is the first comprehensive tool facilitating the identification of thyretines - the unique group of large arctiids restricted almost exclusively to the Afrotropical Region. The 194 currently recognized species are catalogued and illustrated. Information on the orginal descriptions, type locality and type deposition for each of 333 species-group names is given. 3 genus-group names and 7 species-group names are excluded from Thyretini and transferred to other of arctiids.The diagnostic features of each species are presented as well as short information on early stages, biology and known distribution.
