Phegea 25(1): 1–5.
Gedurende 1998 en 1996 werden de aanwezigheid en populatiegrootte van vier bedreigde Lepidoptera-soorten bestudeerd in het duingebied van de Vlaamse Westkust. Alle vier deze soorten bleken voor te komen langs de hele kuststrook in vitale populaties. Issoria lathonia, die vermeld staat als "uitgestorven" in de Rode Lijst van de Dagvlinders van Vlaanderen, bleek in het studiegebied in twee kleine populaties aanwezig te zijn.

Olivier A.: The butterflies of the Greek island of Léros (Lepidoptera: Hesperioides & Papilionoidea).
Phegea 25(3): 123–128.
After a short introduction about the island of Léros and a discussion about the scarce existing literature, the 29 butterfly species known to occur on this island are discussed. Fifteen species are mentioned here for the first time for Léros. Except for one species, all others also occur on the nearby island of Kos. The island in between, Kálimnos, has 31 species of which 27 occur also on Léros. Two species on Léros do not occur on Kálimnos, while they are known from Kos and on the Bodrum peninsula. Probably both species do occur on Kálimnos but have not been discovered so far. Not a single species shown any taxonomic differntiation compared to the adjacent island or the nearby continent. These island separated only 9000 years from each other and from Turkey. It may be assumed that by now 90% of the butterfly fauna of Léros is known.

Beshkov S.: A new noctuid moth from Bulgaria: Oncocnemis confusa michaelorum ssp. n. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
Phegea 25(4): 153–161.
Oncocnemis confusa michaelorum ssp. n. is described from the North Bulgarian Black Sea coast, near Balchik town. The new subspecies has a colony on a very small locality on the sandy rocks. Oncocnemis confusa michaelorum ssp. n. differs well in its external morphology from the other known Oncocnemis species. In its general characteristics the new subspecies differs from Oncocnemis confusa confusa (Freyer, [1839]) by the characters in the vesica, nbest seen when it is everted. The genus Oncocnemis is new for the Balkan peninsula.
