This volume consists of the Proceedings
of the 7th International Symposium on Zygaenidae held in
conjunction with the 10th Innsbrucker
Lepidopterologengesprach from 4-8 September 2000 in
Innsbruck, Austria, under the auspices of the Tiroler
Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum. At the Symposium, authors from
Europe and Asia presented papers on taxonomy, phylogeny,
biology, biochemistry, genetics, biogeography,
conservation and pest control in relation to the family
Zygaenidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera).
The contributions include a completely new phylogeny of
the subfamily Chalcosiinae, based on profound cladistic
investigations. New information on the distribution of
the Zygaenidae, the descriptions of hitherto unknown
females, morphological research on chaetotaxy, as a
result of which there are some systematic changes in the
Procridinae, are provided. Moreover, new bionomic data on
life histories, foodplants, mating behaviour, cocoon
construction, photoperiodism, diapause, pheromones and
new data on genetics are given. The current situation of
the taxonomy of, and the first check-list for, the
Zygaenidae of China is presented. Contributions on pest
control and a comprehensive bibliographic summary of the
Zygaenidae as pest species are followed by a description
of successful conservation attempts of some species of
the Zygaenidae.
The production of this book is through the collaboration
of the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum,
Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen, Innsbruck, Austria,
with the Crimean State Medical University, Simferopol,
Crimea, Ukraine.
