Addition to the knowledge on the moth fauna (Insecta: Lepidoptera) of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

Additions to the moth fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are given. We report on first observations of five species and on reconfirmation of one species after eight decades. In Croatia, we recorded the species Eublemma cochylioides (Guenée, 1852) for the first time, while Eublemma himmighof...

Summary:Additions to the moth fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are given. We report on first observations of five species and on reconfirmation of one species after eight decades. In Croatia, we recorded the species Eublemma cochylioides (Guenée, 1852) for the first time, while Eublemma himmighoffeni (Millière, 1867) has been confirmed in the country after 85 years. We report on the first observation of five moth species for Bosnia and Herzegovina: Triodia adriaticus (Osthelder, 1931), Eumera regina Staudinger, 1892, Dryobotodes monochroma (Esper, 1790), Lithophane lapidea (Hübner, [1808]) and Nycteola columbana (Turner, 1925). Even though these records could be expected due to species general distributions, they fill the knowledge of moth diversity of both countries and the wider region. V prispevku podajamo nove podatke o nočnih metuljih v Bosni in Hercegovini ter na Hrvaškem, s prvimi opažanji petih vrst in ponovno potrditvijo ene vrste po več kot osem desetletjih. Na Hrvaškem smo prvič zabeležili vrsto Eublemma cochylioides (Guenée, 1852), medtem ko je bila Eublemma himmighoffeni (Millière, 1867) ponovno najdena po 85 letih. V Bosni in Hercegovini smo našli pet novih vrst za državo: Triodia adriaticus (Osthelder, 1931), Eumera regina Staudinger, 1892, Dryobotodes monochroma (Esper, 1790), Lithophane lapidea (Hübner, [1808]) in Nycteola columbana (Turner, 1925). Čeprav je bilo te vrste mogoče pričakovati glede na njihovo splošno razširjenost, naši podatki dopolnjujejo poznavanje raznolikosti nočnih metuljev v obeh državah in v regiji.
