Gozmány, L.: New data to the Microlepidoptera fauna of the Retyezát Range

24. Olethreutes umbrosana Frr. The specimen mentioned in (1) p. 92. Nr. 678. as Argyroploce urticaria Hbn. (det. U h r i k) belongs to this species. There are also the following ones in the Collection : D. 1921. VII. 10. <£. 400—800 m. — 1922. V. 26. <J. 900 m. — VII. 5. <J. 800 m. — VI. 12. 850 m. - 1928. VII. 15. 800-1800 m. 25. Olethreutes flavípalpana"H.- Sch. D. 1922. V. 30. 900 m. Among cespitana Hbn. specimes. 26. Griselda fractifasciana Haw. D. 1922. V. 30. <£. 900 m. det : Rebel. 27. Epiblema grandaevana Z. D. 1928. VI. 20. <j. 1000 m. - 1928. VII. 15. $. 800^1800 m. This fine pair is the first known occurrence of the species in the Carpathians, proving the connection of the Retyezát's fauna with the Alps and North European high mountains. 28. Pelochrista decolorana Frr. D. 1927. VII. 25. <J. 1400 m. Plessi. This specimen bears the wrong determination label of Uhrik: »Epiblema expallldana Haw.« (1. p. 94. Nr. 706). Expallidana Haw. is a species of the plains, or rather of wet lowland territories. 29. Catoptria monstratana Bbl. D. 1921. VII. 12. 800 m. Its label : »Epiblema fulvana Stph.« det. Uhrik. It is possible therefore that this specimen originates from the ones so enumerated under (1). p. 94. Nr. 705. Alas, there is only this one specimen in the possession of the Museum, so it remains an open question whether there were really some fulvana Stph., in D i ós z e g h y's collection or all of them belonged to monstratana Rbl., a species described from S c h a u f i g g on the Rhine from an 1600 meters altitude. This data also proves the isolated fauna of the Retyezát in the Carpathians, and its connection with the Swiss Alps. 30. Catoptria? fervidana Z. D. 1927. VII. 23. 29. VIII. 4. IX. 23. 27. X. 2. A series of seven specimens of which, however, almost every one is worn making a correct identification impossible. They seem to stand nearest to fervidana Z. Altitude of collecting is also between 1000—1600 m, which seems to correspond to fervidana Z. range, inhabiting southern hilly regions. 31. Phaneta abacana Ersch. D. 1923. VI. 8. 850 m. Labels : »Semasia sp. nahe myrificana, Schmidt.« — 1932 fotogr.« — »myrificana nova subsp. det : R e b e 1«. — The specimen itself is somewhat oily, and therefore all colors darker than thos'e given in K e n n e 1 (Taf. XIX. fig. 69.). Also its white color is almost totally covered by red and gray, and this hind wings are more ovally arched than again in K e n n e l's picture, their shape corresponding rather with that of astragalana Stgr. (Kennel, XIX. fig. 83.) It cannot be mynficana at all, as I have made genitalic slides of both species and they widely differ. I do not have abacana Ersch., in the Collection, so I cannot make a real comparison, but in spite of above minute difficulties I cannot but hold it to be abacana Ersch. A striking find again : the species inhabiting Sibiria and Eastern Asia. 32. Laspeyresia fundi str igana Wlsghm. D. Retyezát. 1928. VII. 20. <J. 1000 m. — VI. 20. 1000 m. — VII. 15. <j>. 800—1000 m. This species again had to be identified by text aloneThe specimens are congruent with W a 1 s i n g h a m's description. The most striking feature of the species' pattern is the white dorsal patch in the form of a duck's head (rather like that of E. foenella L.), and the almost vertical first costal pair of striguláé. The types are from th

e bordering mountains of Syria and Turkey! This find is new for Europe. 33. Grapholritha nebritana Tr. D. 1928. VII. 26.-27. $. 600—800 m. 34. Dichrorampha tanaceti Stt. D. 1928. VII. 14. <J $. 1000—1100 m. 1921. VII. 16. <£. 700 m. — 1922. V. 29. 1400 m. — U. 1914. VII. 10—23. 3 <J. This species was enumerated as alpestrana H.

—Sch. in (1 ). p. 94. Nr. 722., though in our material, 6 specimens of Diószeghy, and 3 of Újhelyi are tanaceti Stt. Another one of them is the below following resplendana Hein. It js doubtful whether there ever existed alpestrana H.-Sch. either in the Köntzei or the C z e k e 1 i u s collectings from the Retyezát. One of our specimens bears the label of U h r i k's determination : »alpestrana H.-Sch.« 35. Lipoptycha resplendana Hein. U. 1914. VII. 10—23. Labeled: »Dichr. alpestrana H.-Sch.« Notwithstanding other considerations this specimen has no costal fold (male!), and so cannot be a Dichrorampha at all. It is a fine specimen of resplendana Hein., and so the first Carpathian data. \ 36. Aristotelia bifradella Dgl. D. 1928. VII. 20. Ç$. 1000 m. 37. Epithectis pruinosella Z. D. 1923. VI. 5. <j. 800 m. — 1928. VII. 14. $$. 1000—1100 m. On the label of the male specimen: »Gelechia galbanella,

• det. Uhrik«. 38. Telphusa alburnella Dup: D. 1923. VI. 16. <£. 700 m. 39. Telphusa wagae Now. D. 1923. VI. 8. <J. 900 m. 40. Lita solutella Z. D. 1928. VI. 20. 1000 m. — VII. 19. 1000 m.—VII. 20. 2000 m. All females. 41. Bryotropha cinerosella Thnbg. D. 1928. VII. 15. $. 800 m. 42. Gelechia tephriditella Dup. D. 1926. VII. 27. 2200 m. — 1928. VI. 20. 1000 m. VII. 20 1000 m. — VII. 15. 800—1000 m. Females all.
