Abstract
This study is focused on the presence of Freyeria trochylus (Freyer, 1844) and Zizeeria karsandra (Moore, 1865) on Rodos Island, Greece. F. trochylus was first found there by Turati and Fiori in 1923 and Z. karsandra by Bender in 1958. The distributional range of both species in Europe including the Mediterranean and their habitat and ecology, including their associations with ants, together with their life history and larval hostplants are examined. The life cycle of Z. karsandra is described and illustrated here for the first time for Europe as a whole.
期刊介绍:
Nota Lepidopterologica is the scientific, peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL). It publishes original contributions to the study of mainly but not exclusively Palaearctic Lepidoptera, especially on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, and conservation, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology.
All articles are published in English, with the possibility of having the summary written in other languages. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
All papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge. Authors and readers are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution. Publication is free for the SEL members and there is no charge for color.
