A CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE OF THE BALKAN LEPIDOPTERA: SOME SPECIES COLLECTED IN ALBANIA IN AUGUST 2018.

Nocturnal moths and some other Lepidoptera were investigated in Albania during August 2018. Six genera and 17 species are new for Albania. A further 48 species are reported for the second time only in that country. Species with three or more national records are omitted from the list. The majority of data are from poorly investigated areas, including the Tomori and Mali me Gropë Mountains, with the remainder from northern and eastern parts of the country. Selected collecting localities, not illustrated before, are illustrated in colour as are several moth species and their genitalia, including everted vesicas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
