“…The small genus Afromelittia was established by Gorbunov & AritA (1997) to include four very similar species of Afrotropical Melittiini, namely the type spe cies A. occidentalis (Le Cerf, 1917) from Central Africa, A. aenescens (Butler, 1896) from Malawi, A. natalensis (Butler, 1874) from South Africa and A. iridisquama (Mabille, 1890) from Ivory Coast. A further two species, A. caerulea Bartsch, 2016 from South Africa and A. haematopis (Fawcett, 1916), widespread from the Arabian Peninsula to Kenya and Botswana, were added by bArtsch (2016). The closest relative of Afromelittia is the American genus Eichlinia Gorbunov, 2020. In 1992, Dr. MichAel Gruschwitz, a biologist and friend of the second author, carried out a zoological sur vey in The Gambia, West Africa, supported by the Gam bian Wildlife Conservation Department.…”

Sixty-seven species of the subfamily Pyraustinae from 17 genera and two tribes are listed. Anania verbascalis verbascalis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1949) is considered as a senior synonym of A. verbascalis parvalis (Osthelder, 1935) syn. n.; Pyrausta virginalis Duponchel, 1832 as a senior synonym of P. perkeo Amsel, 1970 syn. n.; and P. ferrealis (Hampson, 1900) as a senior synonym of P. euergestalis Amsel, 1954 syn. n. Thirteen species, namely Anania coronata (Hufnagel, 1767), A. murcialis (Ragonot, 1895), A. terrealis (Treitschke, 1829), Pyrausta ferrealis (Hampson, 1900), P. armeniaca Slamka, 2013, P. zeitunalis Caradja, 1916, P. cingulata (Linnaeus, 1758), P. delicatalis Caradja, 1916, P. tatarica Kemal et al., 2020, Loxostege sedakowialis (Eversmann, 1852), L. wagneri Zerny in Wagner, 1929, L. mucosalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848) and L. peltaloides (Rebel in Wagner, 1932), are newly reported from Iran. Additionally, a redescription of the male of P. delicatalis and the female of L. sedakowialis, as well as description of the hitherto unknown female of P. delicatalis are presented. The intraspecific variations of the species if present are discussed and additional new diagnostic characters to separate the closely related species are presented. Data on the geographical distribution of the Iranian species of this subfamily are provided.

An annotated checklist of moths was compiled for Zambia based on intensive and extensive reviews of the literature on insects of the country and on field surveys undertaken by the study for a period of five years from March 2013 to October 2017 to confirm some of the literature review records documented. The checklist contains 1,816 species of moths, arranged into 907 genera and 35 subspecies. One hundred and fifty of these moth species are endemic in Zambia. During our biodiversity field surveys, we verified the existence in Zambia of 3.07% of moth taxa reported in the literature. Some species of moths recorded to occur in Zambia are of traditional/nutritional value to some local ethnic groupings in the country. In addition to their use in traditional medicinal concoctions with plants to treat human maladies, some moth larvae or caterpillars serve as extra sources of animal protein and are consumed as snacks and/or relish by the local people. About one percent (0.9%) of all moth species recorded to occur in Zambia and 7.59% of species of the family Saturniidae serve as extra sources of animal protein for some tribes in the country. To date, no moth species in the country has been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This present checklist will serve as a basis for future governmental decisions on the policy of environmental protection, Red List preparation, and management of natural food security issues in Zambia.
