Abstract

The geometrid mothScopulaorientalis(Alphéraky, 1876) has an apparently disjunct distribution in Europe, with local populations in the Balkans (Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania where recently discovered), as well as in Ukraine and southern European Russia. In this study, based on morphological and mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 – COI) data, we report the presence ofS.orientalisin south-eastern Romania (Dobrogea), at the northernmost limit of the Balkans. The flight time (September) of the recorded specimen, is the latest seasonal record for the Balkans, supporting the presence of at least a partial second generation. The Romanian specimen represented a unique COI haplotype which is differentiated by seven mutations from its genetically closest population in Sivas province, Turkey. The presence ofS.orientalisin Romania reduces the distributional gap between the known Balkan and Ukrainian populations and highlights the potential for a more widespread distribution that needs documentation based on directed studies.

罗马尼亚巴尔干半岛北部首次记录东方Scopula orientalis (alphraky, 1876)(鳞翅目，尺蛾科)

东方土工菌（Alphéraky，1876）在欧洲的分布明显不连续，当地人口分布在巴尔干半岛（最近发现的马其顿、保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚），以及乌克兰和俄罗斯南欧。在这项研究中，基于形态学和线粒体DNA（细胞色素c氧化酶亚基1–COI）数据，我们报告了在巴尔干半岛最北端的罗马尼亚东南部（多布罗吉亚）存在的苏氨酸。记录标本的飞行时间（9月）是巴尔干半岛的最新季节性记录，支持了至少部分第二代的存在。罗马尼亚标本代表了一种独特的COI单倍型，该单倍型通过7个突变与土耳其锡瓦斯省基因最接近的群体区分开来。罗马尼亚存在的苏联人减少了已知巴尔干和乌克兰人口之间的分布差距，并突出了更广泛分布的潜力，需要基于定向研究的文件。

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.
