Description of Prozorovia, a new genus from Pakistan and India (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).

The genus Wittia de Freina, 1980 was described for Bombyx aureola Hbner, [1803] (a junior synonym of Wittia sororcula (Hufnagel, 1766)), which in the modern sense is a paraphyletic taxon containing three groups of species. This study (1) describes a new genus, Prozorovia gen. nov.

Phylogeography and ecology of bumble bees on Kolguev Island, a remote European Arctic landmass.

The bumble bee fauna of the Russian Arctic is rather poorly known. Kolguev Island, a remote insular territory in the Barents Sea, is one of the deficiently studied areas. In this study, material on Kolguev's bumble bees is re-examined, phylogeographic data analysed, putative scenarios explaining the origin of the bumble bee fauna on the island discussed, and the biology and phenology of these insular populations described.
