Auchenorrhyncha captured at light in Finland: (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha et Cicadomorpha)

A considerable proportion of Finnish species of Auchenorrhyncha was found to be nocturnally active based on samples from extensive light-trapping in the years 2002 and 2003. Altogether 214 species and more than 147,000 specimens were recorded from 148 annual light trap samples in 76 sites. The samples revealed 14 species new to the country and more than 500 new provincial records. A periodical test showed that the nocturnal activity has two activity peaks with differring sex ratios

An annotated catalogue of the Auchenorrhyncha of Northern Europe: (Insecta, Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha et Cicadomorpha)

Kommentierte Artenliste der Zikaden Nordeuropas (Insecta, Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha et Cicadomorpha). – Es wird eine kommentierte Artenliste der Zikaden Nordeuropas vorgelegt, mit Angaben der Nachweise für die nordischen und baltischen Staaten (Island, Norwegen, Dänemark ohne Grönland, Schweden, Estland, Lettland, Litauen) und die angrenzenden Verwaltungsregionen von Russland (Kaliningrad, Murmansk, Karelien, St. Petersburg und Pskov). Die Liste enthält 513 Arten mit einigen unveröffentlichten Neufunden. Die Nordausbreitung mittleuropäischer Arten in jüngerer Zeit wird kurz diskutiert.An annotated catalogue of the planthoppers and leafhoppers of Northern Europe, with marked occurrences for each country (Iceland, Norway, Denmark without Greenland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) and administrative regions of adjoining Russia (Kaliningrad, Murmansk, Karelia, St. Petersburg and Pskov) is presented. The catalogue includes altogether 513 species with comments on several new species hitherto unrecorded. The recent northward expansion of some Central European species is briefly discussed

Intercalibration of different light-traps and bulbs used in moth monitoring in northern Europe

Four different combinations of light-traps and bulbs were tested during the summer 1996 in Kainuu, northern Finland: a Jalas model with a 160-W (J/160W) blended light lamp or a 125-W (J/125W) mercury vapour lamp, a Ryrholm trap with a 125-W (R/125W) mercury vapour lamp and a Rothamsted trap with a 200-W tungsten lamp (G/200W). The traps were rotated between four sites every night, but were kept in the same position for the fifth night in order to prevent the possible influence of moonlight. The longest distance between the traps was 150m, and there was no direct visibility between any of them. Three orders were inspected, i.e. Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Hemiptera, the total numbers of individuals and species being as follows: 20857/425, 862/101 and 1868/58. G/200W collected significantly fewer moths than the other traps. In some cases, J/125W collected significantly more moths and less species than the J/160W design. The R/125W design collected significantly more species than the J/160W design. Similar differences in the effectiveness of the lamps and traps were found in the case of Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Alpha diversities showed the same trend
