Nuevos Lepidoptera para la fauna de Portugal (Insecta: Lepidoptera) Resumen Con el trabajo de campo efectuado recientemente por los autores del presente trabajo se añaden 75 especies de Lepidoptera a la fauna de Portugal y se suprimen dos especies de la lista nacional. PALABRAS CLAVE: Insecta, Lepidoptera, distribución geográfica, Portugal. Introduction Recent field work in Portugal has resulted in the accumulation of a substantial number of records of Lepidoptera species previously unrecorded or only doubtfully recorded from Portugal. 75 species are listed below, of which 16 are also new to the Iberian Peninsula. Two species are deleted from the Portuguese fauna. Material and Methods Most species were captured at mercury vapour light over a white sheet. Where this was not the case, the means of capture is given. Specimens are retained in the collections of the original collectors, unless otherwise stated. The order and nomenclature of families and species follows VIVES MORENO (1994) with some modifications reflecting more recent works. The nomenclature of plant names follows TUTIN et al. (1964-1980). For most species in the list that follows a reference is given to a work in which the genitalia are 321 SHILAP Nº 139 24/9/07 19:08 Página 322 M. F. V. CORLEY, E. MARABUTO & P. PIRES figured. In many cases the same work is useful for the whole of a family, so the reference is given after the family heading. This has not been considered necessary for most Macrolepidoptera for which good illustrations of the imagines are available in several books. Two species in this list have been identified from pupal exuviae, using PATOGKA & TURGÁNI (2005). Following each species newly recorded for Portugal, a summary of the previously known distribution is given. The expression “Middle latitudes of Europe” is frequently used here, referring to a broad band with imprecise borders extending approximately from southern France or northern Spain and England or Ireland in the west, across Europe bordered on the north by the Baltic Sea and in the south by a line crossing Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia, finally following the Romanian-Bulgarian border to the Black Sea. Many species that essentially belong to this zone extend beyond its northern boundary into northern England or Scotland and into southern parts of Fennoscandia. A considerable number of species belonging to this zone have been found to extend into northern Portugal, either in the mountains bordering Galicia in Spain, or in the coastal regions of Minho and Douro Litoral. In Spain these species may have been recorded in the Cantabrian mountains and sometimes in the foothills of the Pyrenees; probably they also occur in Galicia, but the Galician Microlepidoptera in particular are very little studied. The account for most species ends with an indication of the known larval food-plant. In nearly all cases this is based on information from outside Portugal, and for this reason is placed in square brackets [ ]. Although the foodplant in Portugal is most likely to be the same as elsewhere in Europe, or at least a closely related species, this cannot be assumed without verification. Some of the new Portuguese records are based on larval or pupal findings, in which case outside information on foodplant is not given, unless it adds to the Portuguese data.

Tua at São Lourenço, 20-VII-2006, Corley. France, Spain, Sardinia and Sicily. [Foodplant unknown]. Delete Xanthocrambus caducellus (Müller-Rutz, 1909) from Portuguese list. Recorded originally from TM: Pinhão, IX-1960, Silva Cruz (MONTEIRO, 1982a, 1982b). Monteiro examined three females, the above and two from Algarve (Odeleite, IX-1975 and São Romão, IX1976) (MONTEIRO & PASSOS DE CARVALHO, 1984). He found BLESZYNSKI’s (1965) genitalia figures difficult to interpret, remarking that the Portuguese specimens appeared to be closest to the North African X. watsoni Bleszynski, 1960, but settling for X. caducellus as the most probable match.

PIRES Two further Algarve records were added by CORLEY et al., (2000), but Corley also found interpretation of the female genitalia problematic, and accepted Monteiro’s identification. Subsequently males have been found in Algarve and in the Alto Douro region which are unquestionably X. delicatellus. Monteiro’s material has not been re-examined, but it is assumed that this is also X. delicatellus. * Opsibotys fuscalis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) (see MEDVEDEV, 1986 and SLAMKA, 1995) TM: Netted at dusk, Ponte de Parâmio, 3-VI-2005, Corley.

These specimens were originally identified as C. elinguaria (Linnaeus, 1758), but were re-examined at the suggestion of Victor Redondo. Two of the specimens on which the records of C. elinguaria given by Marabuto et al. (2004) were based have been re-examined and also belong here: BA: Covões, Vale do Zêzere, 22-VIII-2003, Marabuto; Poço do Inferno, 23-VIII330 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 35 (139), septiembre 2007 SHILAP Nº 139 24/9/07 19:08 Página 331 NEW LEPIDOPTERA FOR THE FAUNA OF PORTUGAL 2004, Marabuto.
