Natura Somogyiensis

Distribution in Europe: Scandinavia, Baltic States, Central Europe (except Germany), Italy and Russia.

Cnephasia alticolana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851): Dombóvár, Gunaras, 1 ex, 10.06.2003, det. F. Groenen. The distribution of the species is restricted in North Hungarian Mountains. Sporadically and rare in Transdanubia (e.g. Mecsek Mountains), Jászság region and Szigetköz area.

Cnephasia ecullyana Réal, 1951: Dombóvár, Gunaras, \S, 15.06.2003, det. et gen. prep. F. Groenen, No. 2400. New species to the Transdanubian Hills fauna. Hungarian old records are two localities (Sziráki 1980): “We discovered in it terpinyl acetate traps at Törökbálint and Erd-Elvira, and also in “Atralin ” traps in Budapest (Budatétény)”. It was collected nowhere in the country in the past decades. According to Razowski (2002) the early stages is not described. Moths are on the wing form May to August in Europe. According to Nässig and Thomas (1991) the moth may therefore preliminarily be characterized as a thermophilous European species, which reaches north to central Germany and is widespread in southern and south-eastern Europe. Razowski (1992) wrote a note to the former study: after the geographical repartition of the species under consideration is probably well described by Nässig and Thomas, but must be confirmed by more accurate determinations. By newest literature (see Fauna Europaea 2014) the distribution of C. ecullyana in Europe: Turkey, Balkan Peninsula, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy (Sicily, Sardinia).

Cnephasia longana (Haworth, 1811): Dombóvár, Gunaras, 2<S, 20.07. 2012, det. F. Groenen. New species to the Transdanubian Hills fauna. Very local and rare in Hungary; original first record is from Tihany Nature Conservation Area (Szent-Ivány 1943, Fazekas 1993). Distribution: Asia Minor to Europe furthermore north-west Africa and the Canary Islands but known in North America. Moths are on the wing in July and August, and come to light, although they can be disturbed easily by day. In both sexes the coloration of the forewing very variable. According to literature the larva feeds on a range of low-growing herbaceous plants, in spun flowers and terminal shoots: Anthemis, Armeria, Aster, Crysanthemum, Lycnitis, Ranunculus, Selinum, Sempervivum and Ligularia.

Cnephasia stephensiana (Doubleday, 1849): Dombóvár, Gunaras, 8 ex, 12.06.2003; 7ex, 15.06. and 20.06.2006; det. et gen. prep. F. Groenen, No. 2157; 4 ex, 17.06.2013, det. I. Fazekas. Known localities from Hungary: Mecsek Mts, Tihany Peninsula, Vértes Mts, Sárvíz and Szigetköz region, Jászság area and Mátra Mts.

Cochylidia rupicola (Curtis, 1834): Dombóvár, Gunaras, I S', 30.07.2010, gen. prep. A. Schreurs, No. 1080. New species to the Transdanubian Hills fauna. This species is known only from two localities in Hungary: Aggteleki National Park and Vértes Mountains. A West Palaearctic fauna element; sporadically recorded from Asia Minor and Europe. The larval food plants is Eupatorium cannabinum, Lycopus europaeus and Chrysocoma linosyris (Razowski 2002, 2009); where the flowers and seeds are consumed during August to September, after which the larva builds a cocoon nearby in which it overwinters. The adults fly from June to early August.

Cochylimorpha alternana (Stephens, 1834): Dombóvár, Gunaras, 1 ex, 15.06.2003, det. F. Groenen. The information we have about the moth is very limited, it is minimally researched in Hungary, thus in the possession of the data collected so far we have to be careful when estimating its Hungarian distribution. Know very sporadically only from the Transdanubia in Hungary. No records from North Hungarian Mountains and Great Hungarian Plain. In Palaearctic the moth flies in one generation from July to August; on the Hungary moth in June to August, probably in two generations (e.g. in Mecsek Mountains).
