Oorschot H. & Coutsis J. G.: An unusual Polyommatus
thersites with basal black spots on FW underside (Lepidoptera:
Lycaenidae, Polyommatiti).
Phegea
40(1a): 3–4.
A male Polyommatus thersites with basal black spots
on its FW underside is reported for the first time, and the
merits of differentiating this species from the similar P.
icarus solely on the basis of the existence or not of these
spots are questioned.

J.: A new species of Thyridanthrax from Morocco (Diptera: Bombyliidae).
Phegea
40(1a): 5–6.
A new Bombyliid species is described from Morocco: Thyridanthrax
maroccanus n. sp., based on 17 males and
12 females collected in the Ouarzazate region (S. E. Morocco)
in March–April in 2007 and 2009. The new species seems
to be related to Thyridanthrax loustaui Andreu, 1961,
Murcia (S. Spain).

Anastassiu H. T.: First record of Clossiana selene
in Greece (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae).
Phegea
40(1a): 15–16.
A restricted colony of Clossiana selene ([Denis &
Schiffermüller], 1775) is reported for the first time from
Greece. The species appeared to be locally common in mid-July
2011, however its known distribution so far is extremely limited,
encompassing only a small marshland area surrounded by coniferous
forest in the West Rhodópi mountain range, NE Greece,
very close to the Bulgarian border. The small size of its habitat,
which is of unusual nature in Greece, in conjunction with the
general rarity of this butterfly in SE Europe, call for immediate
environmental protection by the authorities.

Franeta F., Kogovšek N. & Verovnik R.: On
the presence of Pontia chloridice (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)
in the Republic of Macedonia.
Phegea
40(1a): 17–20.
The Small Bath White, Pontia chloridice (Hübner,
1813), is a rare species in the Balkan Peninsula and has been
known only by two reliable historical records from the Republic
of Macedonia. Its presence was therefore considered a result
of rare long distance migrations to the country. In the last
three years the species was observed on several occasions in
the wide alluviums of the tributaries of the Vardar River in
the south-eastern part of the country. The larval host plant
Cleome ornithopodioides and larvae of P. chloridice
were also discovered indicating that the species is a resident
in this region. Although the suitable habitats are limited,
there is currently no immediate threat to the species.

magdalenae (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae), new to the Belgian
fauna.
Phegea
40(1b): 22–24.
Stigmella magdalenae (Klimesch, 1950) is mentioned
here for the first time from Belgium. On 23 August 2009, several
leaf mines were found on Sorbus aucuparia L. at Arlon
(province of Luxembourg), in the military camp Lagland, leg.
J.-Y. Baugnée. On 28 August 2010, five mines were found
on Sorbus aucuparia in a second Walloon locality, at

Phegea
40(1b): 25–26.
The S American Castniid moth Paysandisia archon (Burmeister,
1800), which was accidentally introduced to several S European
localities, is now also being recorded for the first time from
the Greek island of Páros. This record is the first ever
published for Greece as a whole by a lepidopterological journal,
all past Greek records having been either in the form of announcements
in the local press, or having been included in a doctorate thesis.

S.: Triaxomera fulvimitrella (Lepidoptera: Tineidae)
rediscovered in Belgium after almost 70 years of absence.
Phegea
40(2): 44–45.
Hitherto only one specimen of Triaxomera fulvimitrella
(Sodoffsky, 1830) was known from Belgium. On 05 June 2010, during
a moth inventory in the Wijnendaele Forest at Torhout (Belgium,
West Flanders), 12 specimens of this species were counted, 8
during the day on tree trunks and 4 during the night on light.
The species lives on fungi and dead wood and apparently establishes
a strong population in this forest.

The female genitalia of Icaricia lupini and I.
acmon are re-figured and re-described, in order to give
a more detailed account of their differences than that provided
by Scott (1986). The female genitalia of the other two members
of the group, i.e. I. neurona and I. shasta,
are, to the best of my knowledge, being figured for the first
time, and are shown here in order to provide a better understanding
of the genitalic interrelationship between all four species
of the group.

the Dodecanese Islands (Greece): new data and an update on their
distribution (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea & Papilionoidea).
Phegea
40(3): 66–80.
The Dodecanese, the most southerly group of Greek islands in
the Aegean Sea, cover a large geographical area and are situated
near the mainland of Turkey. The distribution of butterflies
on the 12 main islands of the archipelago has been previously
studied but considerable gaps in territorial and temporal coverage
remain. Many species of butterflies and skippers have a distribution
that shows low population densities and various species could
easily have been overlooked in the past. In 2011 both authors
obtained new data regarding the distribution of different butterfly
species and gathered unpublished observations from colleagues.
Doubtful and/or data-deficient records are analysed. An updated
overview of the Dodecanese butterfly distribution with comparison
to the literature is provided.

Leucania punctosa (Treitschke, 1825) is recorded for
the first time in Romania based on material collected in the
steppes of northern Dobrogea (south-eastern Romania), where
ca. 300 specimens were attracted to light traps. Adults of both
sexes, as well as male and female genitalia, are illustrated.
The faunistical importance of the steppe areas from northern
Dobrogea is briefly discussed.

mines were found at Orchimont. It is the first record of this
