Announcements of new literature

The trouble is that the book was not advertised in any way and was released in a microscopic print run.

as far as I know, it was released on my own money, which is why the circulation is so high..

Yes, three weeks ago. I will pick them up in the Czech Republic in February and send them to all customers.

A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Vanuatu / Ol Buttaflae blong Vanuatu, ISBN 978-0-9542045-1-8, Storm Entomological Publications, 2009. 192pp., hardback; approximately A5 (210 x 148mm). Vanuatu is an archipelago of more than 80 islands in the southwest Pacific, stretching some 1,300 kilometres in a north/south chain. Despite being young in geological terms, the rugged interior of the larger islands, combined with the islands’ isolation, provide conditions ideal for rapid speciation. All 86 butterfly species and subspecies occurring in Vanuatu are illustrated in full colour, incorporated in the relevant text rather than on plates at the end; other species, requiring confirmation, are also illustrated together with, for example, numerous female colour forms of Hypolimnas bolina; many habitat photographs; colour throughout. Introductory sections include a brief history of entomological research in Vanuatu, lines of faunal discontinuity, and associations with the remainder of the New Hebrides Archipelago (Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz group). The main sections deal with each butterfly species, with emphasis on species’ identification including separation from closely related taxa. Information is provided on habitats, larval host-plants (where known), and island distribution. Maps and tables are provided. The guide is fully referenced with a comprehensive bibliography. Two species and 26 subspecies (30%) are endemic to the New Hebrides Archipelago; many are illustrated for the first time.

Details of the publication are below. Remaining copies are available on a first come / first served basis. The cost is £35 sterling per copy, post paid in the UK only, plus postage elsewhere. Postage is £5 sterling to the EU; £9 sterling elsewhere including the USA and Australia. If you're not interested, it would be much appreciated if you would please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested. Time is moderately important: I shall be away in the field for many months from early March. Payment by cheque drawn on a UK bank (payable to John Tennent), sterling IMO, or cash in Euros, US$ or Australian$ sent via registered mail (or any method which requires a signature at this end), to:

Today came the 11th volume of Noctuidae Europaeae.
Good, but with the same problems. The authors did not even bother to look at the "Catalog of Lepidoptera of Russia", as a result-you will not look at the maps without tears.
We also copied the Acontia titania Klyuchko error.
But kryphius was finally sorted out!

By the way, Vova (Okoem) - there are your photos on Garella musculana (=Erschoviella musculana)! Graz

Matov brought the Catalog of Russian Lepidoptera to Budapest only in June, and the main work with NE11 was already completed and the text was sent to Fibiger.

About Acontia titania will need to be clarified.

In general, the book turned out to be wonderful.

But in general, ignoring regional faunistics (and free use of toponyms ) becomes a standard of systematic work.
Here they brought you here Sviridov and Sedykh for the Komi Republic Acronicta vulpina-and Fibiger sotovarishchi writes about two copies from the north of the Middle Urals. Do we mean Sviridov's copies (and there are 3 of them) - or what? From Nakhodki in Komi to the Urals-390 km. -- more than Denmark from end to end or Hungary from north to south!
In the list of references, meanwhile, there is not a single (!) article by Sviridov! What is this all about?!!

Well, I gave the link above to REJ.
Faunistics is normal when printed in the local language.

This is a complete surprise to me.

And what to assume? It is enough to look at the list of references of the previous, 9th volume - to find out that this literature is known to the authors.

It's just that Matov probably didn't do scoops back then...

Then I don't know ...

The 13th part of The Moths of Borneo

Matov has been working on scoops for more than 15 years. If there are no quotes on Sviridov's works, it's just amazing. Sviridov is still known in Europe. When you say that you are from the Russian Federation, if pyadenichnik talks to you, then immediately questions about Belyaev, Mironov, Kostyuk, and earlier about Antonova. If sovochnik is Matov, Sviridov is not children... It's a pity that valuable Russian faunal art is disappearing again. Especially in the hands of Hungarians, who know the world not in the form of parcels from dealers, but in the form of smells, sounds, kilometers traveled. My respect for my Hungarian colleagues is very high.
You know Giles ' book on finger-flies, a catalogue of the world's fauna published in Apollo. This book is an excuse to castrate the author. Butterfly-endemic to the south of Dauria-written in the type locality-Russia, in the distribution - Russia. Butterfly with the type locality Kazikoporan-naisano type locality-Russia... And a lot of such horrors.
I know the series-scoops of Europe, a great series, if there are any shortcomings-I write them off for annoying misunderstandings, but not for malicious intent and ignorance of the authors. See the previous paragraph.
Please tell me why Zaranga tukuringra was not included in the Catalog of the Russian Federation - described in 2006, so the crested birds lost both their genus and species? Why?

The funny thing is-there is a reference to Sviridov in the text (where he cites Garella musculana for the first time in Europe) - but the list of references is silent!
I do not know why this happens - but the fact that the conditional "Peter" is now stubbornly and persistently pushing the conditional "Moscow" - is visible to the naked eye.

And about Gielis - well, there are just countries listed, without detailing. Kazikoporan in Russia is one of the rare factual errors.
Much more ridiculous (and unforgivable) is the insistent repetition of "Uralsk, Russia" in many modern books, including the latest volume of Noctuidae Europaeae. Probably a hundred times this phrase is used there - and NOT ONE ... I didn't bother to check it out, where is it even?!

And the "Catalog" for most groups remained in 2006, although it was dated 2008. There's a lot that isn't there

Vlad, I agree with you in many ways, but when a type locality is written in the catalog of world fauna - Russia, if the species was described from Kyra in the Chita region and flies there - this is stupidity. It's as if the species were endemic to a small point in Algeria - and write the type locality Africa. this is not how directories are written. There is no storage location of the type. And in general, this red book is a manual on how not to write a catalog. a lot of synonyms that are not specified in any way. Why are TURATI taxa synonymous (the most terrible problem for everyone who deals with the Sahara)? Just because they died in the war.
After this book, the authority of Peder Skou and the editorial board of Apollo Books declined somewhat, not only in my eyes.
And in general, the list of countries is a matter for politicians - biologists should understand that Belgium and Luxembourg are in a geographical sense a slightly different pair than, say, Kuban and Chukotka. But for many, Belgium and Luxembourg are a huge difference, and the number 2 pair is Russia (often up to Kuwait).

Yeah... And we once swore at the geographical primitivism of Smart...

I forgot to mention Kononenko. Everyone in Europe knows about it. We just don't know each other personally.

Uralsk, oz. Ohrid, Kazikoporan, 25 Bigars in Mongolia... There are worse mistakes than Uralsk.
A high-quality product - we must admit this. And we have a list of species almost 150 years after Yershov and Field published.

Hm. I didn't call anyone :P

Never mind that. We've got one o'clock in the morning and a lot of work to do.
The books are good. It's great that they come out

I sincerely bow to Tigran!
I'll go pick up some horses for Solodovnikov

Yes, it is better not to avoid such situations.

Vlad, your mailbox is full. Clean it, otherwise I can't answer you

Andrey Valentinovich's last publication on scoops was in
Eversmannia No. 17-18. 2009
Sviridov et al. " Types of scoops () new for various regions of Russia. 3. " p. 81-99.
I'm even there as a co-author (alas, our material lay for many, many years!?).
