Note on Lepidoptera from Bulgarian caves

To the knowledge of the biology and distribution of Monopis crocicapitella (Clemens, 1860) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), with remarks on cavernicolous Lepidoptera

“…Unfortunately, until 2017 the observations were left without any material taken, because the species was considered trogloxenic. Species of Digitivalva Gaedike, 1970 are considered as a trogloxene by different researchers [Beshkov, Petrov, 1996] or as a subtroglophile [Capuse, Georgescu, 1962;Skalski, 1972;Rákosy, 2003Rákosy, -2004Jakšić, 2017;etc.]. Following by data of Yu.I.…”

Ecological characteristics of a cave‐dwelling moth species, Triphosa dubitata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), in Baram and Ssang caves in Gangwon Province, Korea

“…Studies on organisms that live in caves have mainly investigated organism diversity rather than a specific group (Peck 1988;Kjaerandsen 1993;Cokendolpher & Polyak 1996;Wynne & Pleytez 2005;Son & Kim 2008). Ecological research on moths in caves has not actively progressed, because information about caves, such as the position and scale of the cave is lacking, they are often difficult to access, and it is difficult to prepare caving equipment (Skalski 1972). For these reasons, taxonomic research on unrecorded species observed in caves is more frequent rather than ecological research (Weinstein & Edwards 1994;Medeiros et al 2009).…”
