Abstract: This paper presents a revision of the genus Dyscia Hübner, [1825] (Lepidoptera, Geometridae: Ennominae). Examination of types and additional material for most described taxa has resulted in several new synonyms: Dyscia ilivolans Wehrli, 1953 syn. n. and Dyscia duanjiao Yang, 1978 syn. n. are new synonyms of Dyscia fagaria (Thunberg, 1784); Dyscia karsholti Wiltshire, 1991 syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia galactaria Turati, 1934; Dyscia sicanaria (Oberthür, 1923) syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia innocentaria (Christoph, 1885); Dyscia dagestana Wehrli, 1934 syn. n. and Dyscia senecai Wiltshire, 1990 syn. n. are new synonyms of Dyscia malatyana Wehrli, 1934, and Dyscia rjabovi Wardikjan, 1957 syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia negrama Wehrli, 1953. On subspecies-level, Dyscia distinctaria perdistincta Herbulot, 1957 syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia distinctaria (Bang-Haas, 1910), Dyscia fagaria psoricaria (Eversmann, 1848) syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia fagaria favillacearia (Hübner, [1799]), Dyscia malatyana nachadira Brandt, 1941 syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia malatyana ssp. albersaria Warnecke, 1940, and Dyscia penulataria naevata Wehrli, 1953 syn. n. is a new synonym of Dyscia penulataria penulataria (Hübner, [1819]). One taxon, formerly treated as a species is reassigned to subspecific level, Dyscia conspersaria ssp. sultanica Wehrli, 1936 stat. rev. Lectotypes for 22 taxa and neotypes for two taxa – Geometra conspersaria [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, and Geometra emucidaria Hübner, [1813] – are designated. One species is excluded from Dyscia, Thysanopyga serena (Dognin, 1906) comb. n. From a total of 72 previously described taxa, 19 are recognized as species.

Abstract: This paper presents a monograph of all species of the genus Dyscia Hübner, [1825] (Lepidoptera, Geometridae: Ennominae). Nineteen species are recognized for the Palearctic region, previous records from other regions are wrongly attributed to the genus or mislabelled. The work comprises descriptions of adult morphology, based on external features and genital characters. Autapomorphies of species-taxa are outlined. Previous knowledge on bionomics and distribution is summarized, information on immature stages is supplied for several species. Distribution maps are presented with references to all localities for all species. Habitus and genitalia are illustrated for both sexes of all species, except for Dyscia rungsi and Dyscia dodonaeeti, of which only males were available to us. Photos of the larvae of eleven species, and habitats of fourteen species are given. Keys using genital characters and external features will facilitate identification of males and females.

Abstract: Xestia agathina (DUPONCHEL, 1827) is a noctuid moth which is in Germany chiefly bound to Calluna vulgaris. In its German distribution area the species lives exclusively on intact heath lands of Southwest, West, North and East Germany. In the present paper X. agathina is recorded for the first time from the federal state of Bavaria. The species uses older Calluna vulgaris on humid and half-shady places and is presently most abundant on former or current military training areas. Although it is still frequent on heath lands of the Lünerburger Heide and of sandy areas in East Germany, X. agathina is currently highly endangered by wrong habitat management and too advanced successions. Only the preservation of structure rich heath lands can protect X. agathina from its extinction.

Abstract: Egg-laying behaviour of the Tree Grayling (Hipparchia statilinus Hufnagel, 1766) or field records of eggs have not yet been described from Germany. In this study we present data on seven cases of egg-laying behaviour and two cases of egg findings without the presence of an egg-laying female observed at two military training areas south of Potsdam (eastern Germany, state of Brandenburg). The field sites were xerothermic places, completely exposed to the sun, and consist of patchy vegetation of Corynephorus canescens with dried moss or pure sand. Mostly, eggs were found several centimetres remote from vital or decayed Corynephorus-plants attached to the underside of dead plant material, e.g. moss, lichens, last year’s grass. Corynephorus canescens is presumed to be main diet of the larvae, since it is abundant at the oviposition sites. Finally, causes for the endangered status of the species and measures for its protection are discussed.

Abstract: Among the nineteen species of the Taxon Dyscia s.lat., five form a well-supported monophyletic group, the so-called Dyscia-conspersaria-group (= Dyscia s.str.). For the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships of these species eight adult and one immature stage characters were used. As outgroup taxa Dyscia fagaria and Alcis repandata were employed. The most parsimonious distribution of character stages resulted in the following taxa relationship: {{{Dyscia conspersaria ([Denis & Schiffermüller] 1775) + Dyscia raunaria (Freyer, 1851)} + Dyscia innocentaria (Christoph, 1885)} + Dyscia crassipunctaria (Rebel, 1916) / Dyscia simplicaria Rebel, 1939}. The depicted distribution map is based on a critical evaluation of the literature, and includes a comprehensive survey of collection material. Reference is given to each location.

Abstract: The Geometrid moth Scotopteryx coarctaria is a stenoecic species, found in large areas of sandy heaths which has the food plant of the caterpillar, Sarothamnus scoparius. Up to date records are available in Germany only for Brandenburg and neighbouring areas of Saxony and Sachsen-Anhalt. They are part of its northern boundary, a regional distribution map is given in this article. Because there has been a considerable reduction in numbers over the last few years, there is a danger of S. coarctaria becoming extinct in Germany. Particular protection of their habitat is required; recommendations for appropriate protective measures are given.

Abstract: Recent discoveries of Selidosema brunnearium (Villers, 1789) during the last years which included first records for Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt stimulated a documentation of the present distribution in Brandenburg and the Oberlausitz (lists of all known localities and distribution map). The species is stenotopous and restricted to heathlands; its biology and ecological requirements are described. Possibilities for the protection of the strongly endangered S. brunnearium are also discussed.

Abstract: More than 60 years after Bichroma famula (Esper, 1787) (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) was first recorded in Brandenburg (Germany), it was rediscovered in the most north-eastern part of its known area. This rediscovery is an incentive for further observation of the current distribution of this species in Germany but also elsewhere in Europe and North Africa, which are the areas where Bichroma famula has been found so far. In addition to this, the article describes the biology and habitat of this univoltine geometrid in Germany, including the fact that the moth mainly feeds on Sarothamnus scoparius. However, as this species lives only in the hottest and driest broom-growing areas it is distributed in separate places. Because there has been a considerable reduction in numbers over the last few years, particular protection is required. Appropriate protective measures are given in the article.

Abstract: The distribution of Dyscia fagaria (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae) in Europe has been described, based on actual informations from specialists of various countries and published data. Earlier records from Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania have been shown to be inaccurate. Distribution maps for Germany and Europe are given. Habitat requirements in Germany, D. fagaria is a stenoecic species of open and sandy heaths, phenology of larva and moth and the way they live are described. It is pointed emphatically to protect the species. Recommendations for habitat management are given and are discussed comparing with experiences gained from the nature reserve Lüneburger Heide, in northwest Germany.
