ABSTRACT

Karalija, E. & Lelo, S. Identification key for Bosnian-Herzegovinian subfamily Zygaeninae Latreille, 1809: genus Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (Insecta: Lepidoptera). Lack of data regarding species of subfamily Zygaeninae in Bosnia and Herzegovina created a need for research of this group. Using what little data was available about Burnet Moths in Bosnia and Herzegovina and common data about subfamily Zygaeninae, an identification key was created for zygaenid species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two subfamilies of zygaenid moths can be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they are represented with 15 species (Lelo & Karalija, 2008).

Key words: Zygaena, nebelstreif, morphology, wing patterns, determination keys.

SUMMARY

There are three contemporary subfamilies of family Zygaenidae Latreille, 1809, but in Bosnia and Herzegovina ony two of these subfamilies, with 15 different species, are recorded (Procridinae Boisduval, 1828; Zygaeninae Latreille, 1809) (Lelo & Karalija, 2007).

After analysing literature data on zygaenids of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we concluded that there is lack of data that could be used in systematic research of zygaenids of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, the first step is to determine the actual state of this fauna and only after compiling a complete list of these species can the actual analysis be undertaken. Using available literature data on zygenids of Bosnia and Herzegovina and general literature data regarding family Zygaenidae Latreille, 1809, a list of species was compiled and an original key for identification of species of family Zygaenidae Latreille, 1809 was created.
