A new species of Pharmacis Hübner, 1820 from Spain with a brief review of the genera Pharmacis and Korscheltellus Börner, 1920 (Lepidoptera, Hepialidae)

We here describe a new ghost moth (Hepialidae) species, Pharmacis cantabricus sp. n. from the Picos de Europa National Park, Cantabria, in northern Spain. The new species belongs to a group of mostly day-flying species that are restricted to the European Alps and some mountain ranges of southern Europe. Based on morphology and analysis of mitochondrial COI gene sequences, the new species is closely related to Pharmacis aemilianus (Constantini, 1911), an endemic of the Italian Apennines. However, Pharmacis cantabricus sp. n. can easily be distinguished from all related species based on both external and genitalic characters. We briefly review and illustrate all species of the genus Pharmacis Hübner, 1820 and discuss its relationship with the related genus Korscheltellus Börner, 1920. We reinstate Hepialus castillanus Oberthür, 1883 as a distinct species and transfer it to Korscheltellus (stat. rev., comb. n.)

Primeros registros de Perlamantis alliberti Guérin-Méneville, 1843 (Dictyoptera: Mantodea: Amorphoscelidae) para la provincia de Palencia (N de la Península Ibérica).

The first records of Perlamantis alliberti Guérin-Méneville, 1843 (Dictyoptera: Mantodea: Amorphoscelidae) for the province of Palencia are reported here, adding to the few ones known in Castilla y Leon, and being in addition some of the northernmost known in the Iberian Peninsula.Se aportan los primeros registros de Perlamantis alliberti Guérin-Méneville, 1843 (Dictyoptera: Mantodea: Amorphoscelidae) para la provincia de Palencia, sumándose a los pocos conocidos en Castilla y León, y siendo a su vez unos de los más septentrionales de la Península Ibérica

Reassessment of Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov. and its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae, Poecilocampinae)

[EN]: Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov., endemic to Spain, is characterized and elevated to species rank. This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of Poecilocampa alpina (Frey & Wullschlegel, 1874) with insufficient diagnosis based on two male specimens only. Its southern populations are described as Poecilocampa navalagamellae turdetana ssp. nov. Notes on external morphology of the imago, genitalia, chorionic structure of the egg, habitat and host plant are presented herein, as well as ab ovo breeding results of P.n. turdetana. An actualised distribution map is provided. According to the results obtained from the study of mitochondrial DNA barcoding, P. navalagamellae belongs to a lineage well differentiated from the rest of the European Poecilocampa Stephens, 1828 taxa. It also differs from these in the wing pattern, the male genitalia, the chorionic structure of the egg and the larval external traits.[ES]: Se redescribe y se eleva al rango de especie Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov., endémica de España. Este taxón fue originalmente descrito de forma escueta como una subespecie de Poecilocampa alpina (Frey & Wullschlegel, 1874) en base a dos machos y sin el estudio de los genitalia. Sus poblaciones meridionales se describen como Poecilocampa navalagamellae turdetana ssp. nov. Se presentan también observaciones relativas a los adultos, genitalia, corion de los huevos, hábitat y plantas nutricias, así como los resultados de cría ab ovo de P. n. turdetana. Se proporciona un mapa de distribución actualizado. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos del estudio del ADN mitocondrial (código de barras genético), P. navalagamellae pertenece a un linaje bien diferenciado del resto de los taxones de Poecilocampa Stephens, 1828 europeos. También se distingue de ellos en el patrón alar, los genitalia masculinos, la estructura del corion del huevo y el aspecto de la larva
