A replacement name for the genus-group name NannaBirket-Smith, 1965 (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Syntomini).

In the fly family Scathophagidae (Diptera), the genus Nanna Strobl, 1894 was introduced as (D. Nanna Becker) flavipes Fall. Zett.

A replacement name for Acrapex albicostata Hampson, 1916 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

In 1905, O. B. Lower described Sesamia albicostata from Australia, based on one male specimen taken at Ocean Grange, near Sale, Victoria in January (Lower 1905: 175).

A replacement name for Dichomeris paulianella Viette, 1957 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae).

By transferring Lecithocera paulianella Viette, 1955 to the genus Dichomeris (Gelechiidae), Park, Koo Minet (2020: 155, 173) caused a nomenclatorial problem (see Art. 52.1) since in that genus there exists already a species Dichomeris paulianella Viette, 1957 which by this action becomes a junior secondary homonym (see Art.

Diversity and abundance of Lepidoptera populations in the Theniet El Had National Park (Algeria).

An inventory of Lepidoptera in the Theniet El Had National Park (PNTEH), Algeria, revealed 86 taxa, both butterflies and moths. The specimens were collected in 68 localities distributed over ten cantons within the park in the period 2015-2017. A preliminary faunistic list is compiled as a base-line contribution to the study of adult Lepidoptera in this park.

A review of the Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) of southern Africa, based on type specimens deposited in the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History (TMSA), with descriptions of three new species.

The Lecithoceridae of southern Africa are reviewed, based on material preserved in the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa. A total of 22 species are recognized including three new species: Idiopteryx jansei sp. nov.

Re-examination of the type specimens of Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera), deposited in the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), Belgium, with descriptions of ten new species from DR Congo belonging to Thubdora Park and Torodora Meyrick.

The type specimens of Lecithoceridae which are deposited in the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), Tervuren, Belgium (five species of Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer and two of Homaloxestis Meyrick) were re-examined. The results are: 1) two species of Lecithocera are transferred to Thubdora Park and Torodora Meyrick respectively, with new combinations: Thubdora barbata (Meyrick, 1933), comb. nov.

Taxonomic history and invasion biology of two Phyllonorycter leaf miners (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) with links to taxonomic and molecular datasets.

This paper deals with two European species, Phyllonorycter mespilella (Hübner, 1805) and P. trifasciella (Haworth, 1828), that have colonized the subtropical Canary Islands. The Rosaceae leaf miner, P.

Geometrid outbreak waves travel across Europe.

We show that the population ecology of the 9- to 10-year cyclic, broadleaf-defoliating winter moth (Operophtera brumata) and other early-season geometrids cannot be fully understood on a local scale unless population behaviour is known on a European scale. Qualitative and quantitative data on O. brumata outbreaks were obtained from published sources and previously unpublished material provided by authors of this article.
