ABSTRACT
During the inventoring and monitoring programmes on biodiversity carried out in the Marganai mountains and surrounding areas (southern Sardinia) by Centro Nazionale per lo Studio e la Conservazione della Biodiversità Forestale "Bosco Fontana" of Verona in 2003–2006, a total of 155
species of Macrolepidoptera Heterocera, representative of nine families, were collected with a variety of sampling methods.These species are briefly
accounted on here, with remarks on the most noteworthy taxa from the faunistic, biogeographical and systematic standpoints.The survey led to the
discovery of the noctuid Phytometra sanctiflorentis (Boisduval, 1834) (= luna Zerny, 1927), so far known only from the Iberian Peninsula, which
is thus a species new to both Sardinia and Italy as a whole.
Key words: Macrolepidoptera, Sardinia, Marganai mountains, faunistics, new records.
RIASSUNTO
Reperti di Macrolepidotteri Eteroceri dei Monti Marganai e dintorni in Sardegna meridionale (Lepidoptera)
Il presente contributo fornisce notizie sulle 155 specie di Macrolepidotteri Eteroceri che, con diversi metodi, sono state raccolte nel corso delle
campagne di censimento della biodiversità condotte dal Centro Nazionale per lo Studio e la Conservazione della Biodiversità Forestale "Bosco Fontana" di Verona nel comprensorio dei Monti Marganai e dintorni (Sardegna meridionale) nel 2003–2006. Alcuni elementi di particolare interesse
sistematico, faunistico e biogeografico sono brevemente commentati, tra i quali degno di nota è il nottuide Phytometra sanctiflorentis (Boisduval,
1834) (= luna Zerny, 1927), finora ritenuto endemico della Penisola Iberica, che risulta pertanto nuovo per la Sardegna e più in generale per la
fauna italiana.
INTRODUCTION
MATERIAL AND METHODS
During 2003–2006 the Centro Nazionale per lo Studio e la Conservazione della Biodiversità Forestale
"Bosco Fontana" of Verona (hereafter CNBFVR) undertook a number of sampling campaigns in the Marganai mountains and neighbouring areas in southern
Sardinia within the framework of monitoring and
inventoring programmes on biodiversity (cf. Mason
et al. 2006; Cerretti et al. 2009; Bardiani 2011). The
present account deals with all the macromoth species
collected during such campaigns, with emphasis on
the most noteworthy species from a systematic, faunistic and biogeographical point of view.
Study area
The area of the Marganai mountains has to be intended in the extended manner outlined by Angius et al.
(2011). The reader is also addressed to that paper and
to Bardiani (2011) for an annotated list of the sampling
sites and relevant features of landscape and vegetation.
Sampling techniques
The taxonomical groups taken into account in this
contribution are those falling under the traditional
concept of "macromoths" or Macrolepidoptera Heterocera. This heterogeneous assemblage, not corre783
Andrea Iuli, Alberto Zilli
sponding to any taxon rigorously defined on a systematic basis, holds a great potential for environmental analyses, not least because of the vast amount of
information so far available on it. The families here
treated are nine, namely Psychidae, Zygaenidae, Sesiidae, Lasiocampidae, Sphingidae, Drepanidae, Geometridae, Notodontidae and Noctuidae.
The macromoths were collected using an array of
methods which include light-trapping (fabric sacks
suspended below fluorescent 15W actinic tubes run
overnight), sugaring (sucrose-ethanol mixture), netting (butterfly-net), Malaise, pitfall and window-trapping. The collecting team was composed by D. Avesani, M. Bardiani, D. Birtele, P. Cerretti, G. Chessa, P.
Cornacchia, M. Mei, E. Minari, G. Nardi, M. Tisato,
D. Whitmore and M. Zapparoli. Actual collectors of
individual specimen(s) are however omitted in the faunistic list in order not to make the records too lengthy.
Taxonomic identifications
Identification of specimens, particularly those preserved in ethanol inasmuch as collected with Malaise
and pitfall traps, largely relied on the examination of
their genitalia. Dissections were done after the procedure outlined in Grassi & Zilli (2005) and genital pieces mounted either in permanent slides with
Euparal or stored in microvials with glycerol which
were associated to the original specimens.
Layout of results and depositories
All specimens belonging to the families above indicated which were collected during the campaigns are recorded in a systematic list, and remarks to noteworthy
species given in a special section ("Notes") following
it. In the systematic part, supraspecific taxa are listed
according to the arrangement of Karsholt & Razowski
(1996) after the nomenclature given in the most recent version of "Fauna Europaea" (Karsholt & van
Nieukerken 2010), with congeneric species or species
pertaining to a same subgenus given in alphabetical order. Exceptions are represented by Catocala coniuncta,
the amended spelling of which follows Bertaccini et
al. (2008), and the authorship of Cryphia (Euthales)
pallida, the author of which is Bethune-Baker (1894).
Except when otherwise stated, all the material examined is deposited in CNBFVR (Marmirolo, Mantua).

NOTES
Zygaena (Mesembrynus) corsica Boisduval, 1828
Sardo-Corsican endemic (figs 1–2); the larvae are
oligophagous on Asteraceae, mainly on Santolina insularis (Genn. ex Fiori) Arrigoni and Leucanthemum
flosculosum (L.) P. Giraud (Bordoni & Leo 1999).
Insular central-western Mediterranean subendemic
occurring in Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearics and the
Tuscan archipelago (Dapporto et al. 1999), with
colonies recorded from Catalonia (Masó et al. 1979)
and, after deliberate introduction, Tunisia (Hundsdörfer 2004).

Iuli).
The systematics and faunistics of the genera Tephronia Hübner, 1825 and Eumannia Fletcher, 1979 are
currently under review by A. Hausmann and collaborators. There are however conflicting views about the
identity of taxa and their taxonomic boundaries with
respect to the proposal by Leraut (2009). During the
course of this and other surveys in Sardinia up to
three species have been found to occur on the island,
despite the presence of only one taxon was suspected
(T. cyrnea Schawerda, 1932). We refrain however
from giving any further taxonomic identification in
order not to interfere with the resolution of this currently difficult species complex.

Camptogramma bistrigata (Treitschke, 1828)
Sardo-Corsican endemic. Uncertainty exists about
the ranking of this taxon, which Leraut (2009) considers as a subspecies of C. bilineata (Linnaeus, 1758).
The pattern of continental and insular populations is,
however, strikingly different.
Chesias linogrisearia Constant, 1888
This taxon, currently considered to represent a valid,
endemic species to Corsica, is also recorded from
Sardinia in Karsholt & van Nieukerken (2010), who
however do not mention it from Corsica (type locality). Leraut (2009) notes that further studies may
lead it to be subsumed under Chesias rufata cinereata
Staudinger, 1901, which Redondo et al. (2009) in
turn consider as synonymous to nominotypical C.
rufata (Fabricius, 1775).

Alvaradoia numerica (Boisduval, 1840)
The specimen is typical of ssp. behouneki (de Freina,
1983), endemic to Sardinia.
Following the revision of the genus Alvaradoia Agenjo, 1984 by Zilli et al. (2009), the pruned concept of
A. numerica is of a Sardo-Corsican endemic species
(fig. 13).

CONCLUSIONS
Despite the rather limited number of macromoth
species scored during the sampling programmes,
there is evidence that the faunal composition of
the area of Marganai mountains and surroundings
is fairly representative of the peculiar features of
the Sardinian lepidopteran fauna, as shown by the
relatively high number of endemic and subendemic
taxa which were collected, e.g. Rhegmatophila richelloi and Alvaradoia numerica. From an ecological
standpoint, the vast majority of the species observed
in the area fall under the categories of ubiquitous
and thermophilous elements, the latter in turn either characteristic of open spaces or forests. A few
species such as Apaidia rufeola and Pelosia obtusa
are however typical of humid environments, and
their presence is therefore evidence of a given habitat heterogeneity which makes the authors suggest
that with specially dedicated researches the number
of macromoth species occurring in the area would
greatly be increased.
Sardo-Corsican endemic (Fibiger et al. 2010).
Mniotype spinosa (Chrétien, 1910)
The old concept of M. spinosa was recently split into
two species, M. occidentalis Yela, Fibiger, Ronkay &
Zilli, 2010 and M. spinosa (Chrétien, 1910), on the
grounds of the discovery that westernmost populations so far ascribed to spinosa are characterised by the
absence of hair pencils in the male trifine brush organs, whereas the easternmost ones, including those
from Sardinia, have them (Fibiger et al. 2010).
