The first survey of the moth fauna on the Natura 2000 site Livade uz Bednju I to IV and its near
surroundings was conducted in 2016. Four locations were selected and visited three times in different
seasons. A total of 381 moth species were recorded, with the most numerous families being Geometri-
dae (102 species), Noctuidae (94 species), Erebidae (44 species) and Crambidae (35 species). In order to
based on the literature overview and this survey, containing 603 species. 189 species recorded during
this survey represent new county records. The greatest increase in the number of species was for the
Noctuidae (40 species) and Geometridae (19 species) families. Some species like Diachrysia zosimi were
previously recorded only a few times in Croatia. The surveyed sites can now be regarded as some of
the best studied areas in Croatia in respect to their moth fauna.

INTRODUCTION
Moths are a numerous and highly diverse group of insects. They are important plant
pollinators with more than two hundred different moth-plant interactions described so
far (, 2016). Moths also represent prey for many invertebrate and vertebrate
species ( et al., 2000; 2004).
The moth fauna of most parts of Croatia has not been the subject of systematic faunis-

were based on specimens collected at the beginning of the 20th century. Their historical
value is unquestionable but they do not represent the current state of the biodiversity of
the area. The goal of this survey was to gain a baseline insight into the moth diversity of

moth species known from the county based on the available literature and this survey.

ic of settlements, agricultural land, forest fragments and grasslands of different kinds.
The two largest rivers in the area are the Drava, which flows along the northern border
of the county, and the Bednja which flows into the Drava within the county. The Bednja
is a tributary of the Drava, and the whole of its course is in Croatia. The river is 133 km

ske toplice, Ludbreg and joins the Drava at Mali Bukovac near Ludbreg.
A total of 14 Special Protection Areas (SPAs) sites have been designated in the county,
including the Natura 2000 areas Livade uz Bednju I-V (site codes: HR2001408, HR2001409,
HR2001410, HR2001411, and HR2001412) occupying a total area of 1,534.761 ha. The
Bednja River and its valley constitute an important area of the ecological network, par-
ticularly because of the meadow and pasture habitats, and the associated species (-
meadows (with Alopecurus pratensis and Sanguisorba officinalis), Molinia meadows on
calcareous, peaty or clayey-silt-laden soils (Molinion caeruleae) and hydrophilic edges
higher green with rivers and forests (Convolvulion sepia, Filipendulion, Senecion fluviatilis).
The dominant soils are acidic brown soil on clastic rocks, luviziol on clay and partly
hydroameliorated wetland rendzinas on flysch and soft limestone (, 2015).
The Bednja River area and the surrounding habitat is one of last remaining natural sites
in the county and, consequently large parts of the remaining mesophilous grasslands are
included in the Natura 2000 network. Still, except for basic knowledge about the Natura
2000 species and habitats, almost no other available data exist for the area.

This study took place at four localities in the Natura 2000 areas, Livade uz Bednju
I - IV, or in the near surroundings (Fig. 1). The area Livade uz Bednju V was not inclu-
ded as it was not easily accessible by car. Each locality was visited three times in di-
fferent seasons (spring, summer and autumn). On average, four hours were spent at
each locality on each date, depending on the time of year and the climate conditions.
Five to seven UV light tents were used per locality to attract moths. Most of the moths
attracted were identified in the field and released. Only in cases where the identifica-
tion was questionable were the moths collected and identified in the lab using stan-
dard identification keys (e.g. , 1997; & , 2012; et al.,
2012; , 1998; , 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013). Some members of the families
Erebiidae, Geometridae and Noctuidae, and all the encountered Microlepidoptera
were collected and stored in the private collection of the author. The nomenclature
follows the online database Fauna Europaea ( et al., 2014). For several species,
examination of the genital structures was carried out in order to confirm the correct
species identification.
In order to validate the results and compare them with historical records, a preli-
minary checklist of moths of the county was created based on the available literature
(, 1884; , 1910; , 1918, &, 1996, et al.,
1997; , 2008; , 2010).

RESULTS
During this survey we gathered data of 381 moth species within the study area. The
Geometridae are the best-represented group with a total of 102 recorded species,
followed by Noctuidae with 94 species, Erebiidae with 44 and Crambidae with 35
species. All four localities had a similar number of species and abundance of specimens
across three different seasons (Fig. 2).

DISCUSSION
With the 381 moth species recorded during this survey, the area of Bednja River can
now be regarded as one of the better surveyed Natura 2000 areas of Croatia in respect to
the moth fauna ( et al., 2011; , 2013; , 1985). Still, the
recorded number probably represents about half of the moth fauna present in the area
in comparison with the nearby best surveyed region, Podravina (, 1985).
In respect to the moth fauna of the county, which now counts 603 species, 189 spe-
cies were recorded for the first time in the area. The increase is partially because even
unpublished part includes all moth families except Geometridae & Noctuidae (and
partially Erebidae as these species were previously treated within the Noctuidae fami-
ly) (, 1996; 2008). Also within Noctuidae and Geometridae
a significant increase in the number of species present in the county was evident with
this survey. An additional 40 species of Noctuidae and 19 species of Geometridae were
recorded as new county records (, 1996; 2008). It is worth
noting that although it is rather short, this is the first moth checklist of any county in
Croatia, although hopefully not the last.

Crambidae
Catoptria osthelderi
This species is distributed manly in central and northern Europe, with records from
France, northern Italy, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia (, 2012). The adults fly
from June till September depending on the location. The larvae feed on various mosses.
Five specimens were collected during this survey. The correct identification of this
species was confirmed by the examination of the genital structures (according to ,
2012). The only available record that may be traced back to Croatia originates from maps
present in (2012), however, it is not mentioned in the text (except possibly as
-
hor (e.g. , 2008; et al., 2014). Due to its presence in the nearby countries
of Slovenia and Hungary, additional records are expected in the future across northern
Croatia.
Noctuidae
Diachrysia stenochrysis
This species is distributed from Europe, through Asia to Japan. It is generally pro-
blematic, being part of a cryptic species complex, and certain specimens are hardly
distinguishable from one another. In the area of Croatia, the most similar relative is
Diachrysia chrysitis (Linnaeus, 1758). The external morphological appearance and the
genital structure are very similar in these species. They can be reliably identified only
based on the female pheromones ( et al., 2012). One of the better distinguishing
features is the shape of the golden area on the fore wing of D. stenochrysis, which is
usually well connected (rather H-shaped) while it is regularly discontinuous in D.
chrysitis. However, the connective golden streak can also be thin or interrupted in D.
stenochrysis. As the collected specimens show the typical features of D. stenochrysis, they
were included in the analysis. Further studies of the populations from Croatia needs
to be carried out in the future to obtain confirmed data about the occurrence and dis-
tribution of this species-pair.
Diachrysia zosimi
pattern, absent or local in Asia Minor. It is widespread but uncommon in Siberia and
the Pacific Region, very sporadic in western Asia but present and locally frequent or
even common in certain parts of Central and northern Central Europe. In Central Eu-
rope it is bivoltine with two more or less continuous generations from the end of May
to the end of September. In most parts of its area, the caterpillars feed on both Sangu-
isorba officinalis and Parnassia palustris L. but preferring Sanguisorba. This species was
recorded for the first time in Croatia in the Podravina (, 1985) and in Turo-
polje regions ( 1992/93). The records from the Bednja River contri-
bute to the known distribution of this species in Croatia, and indicate it may be more
common than previously thought ( et al., 2008).
Nat.Croat.Vol.27(1),2018 125
Heterogenea asella
This Limacodidae species is usually not very rare, but can be very easily overlooked
during surveys, due to its very small size, grey wings and its inconspicuous overall
appearance, especially in the cases where only Macroheterocera are studied. This Pa-
laearctic species is distributed in most parts of Europe. Only some scattered records of
this species exist from Croatia, most of them from the Podravina region (,
1985).
CONCLUSIONS
While the general trend in moth research includes ecological studies on moths (e.g.
et al., 2013; , 2003, 2004), Croatia is still without a base-
line knowledge of moth fauna. Faunistic surveys would provide basic data for future
ecological studies and, if properly done, a baseline for further trend assessments. Such
studies are necessary, especially due to the recent changes in land use.
-
bitants lived from agriculture ( 1991); this percentage was reduced in
1991 to 13.7% only, showing a drastic decline (, 2000).
Across the whole Bednja Valley, a clear practice of either complete abandonment or
intensification in use of the grasslands is present. Even in the last few years, the chan-
ges have been very visible, and the area of wet grasslands is shrinking year by year.
With the disappearance of the habitat, plant communities, as well as the connecting
fauna (in this case the hygrophilous moths) are also endangered.
The trends in the moth fauna are not known across Europe due to the absence of
reference data from previous decades, but for some countries like the Netherlands
about one-third of the macromoth species are decreasing (, 2011).
In order to recognise such trends in Croatia in the future, more baseline surveys are
needed.
