2 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 43 (172), diciembre 2015: eissn: ISSN: An annotated checklist of the Noctuoidea of Jordan with remarks on ecology, phenology and zoogeography. Part V: Noctuinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) V. D. Kravchenko, J. Mooser, L. Ronkay, E. E. Revay, W. Speidel, T. Witt & G. C. Müller Abstract A complete list of all known Noctuinae species of Jordan is presented and, the biogeography, phenology and distribution of the species is discussed. Within a German-Israeli project to monitor the Lepidoptera Fauna of the Levant we recorded from 1986 to 2010 a total of 44 species, three of which are new records for the country [Agrotis margelanoides (Boursin, 1944), Dichagyris leucomelas Brandt, 1941, Euxoa conspicua (Hübner, 1824)]. In Jordan the Noctuinae are represented by nine genera. Most of the recorded species belong to Agrotis (15), Dichagyris (11) and Euxoa (8); the majority of the species are of an Irano-Turanian (13), Palaearctic (11) and Eremic (11) distribution pattern. The majority of the Noctuinae are clearly concentrated within one or two vegetation zones, and only the two tropical, ubiquitous and polyphagous species (Agrotis ipsilon and Agrotis segetum) are distributed all over the country. In Jordan most of the Eremic species known from the Levant are found (11 of 12), whereas the Irano-Turanian (13 of 37) and the Mediterranean (5 of 19) elements of the same region are represented by much almost 1/3 and almost respectively of the known species. Thirty-nine species are uni-voltine with the highest rate of occurrence in autumn from October to November; the other species are multi-voltine, flying at least twice - in spring and again later in autumn. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Noctuinae, biogeography, phenology, ecology, Jordan, Levant. Una lista comentada de los Noctuoidea de Jordania con detalles sobre ecología, fenología y zoogeografía. Parte V: Noctuinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Resumen Se presenta una lista completa de las especies actualmente conocidas de Noctuinae de Jordania y se discute la biogeografía, fenología y distribución de las mismas. Dentro del proyecto germano-israelí para el seguimiento de la fauna de Lepidoptera del Próximo Oriente, desde 1986 a 2010 registramos un total de 44 especies, tres de las cuales son nuevas citas para el país [Agrotis margelanoides (Boursin, 1944), Dichagyris leucomelas Brandt, 1941, Euxoa conspicua (Hübner, 1824)]. En Jordania los Noctuinae están representados por nueve géneros. La mayoría de las especies registradas pertenecen a Agrotis (15), Dichagyris (11) y Euxoa (8); la mayoría de las especies presentan un patrón de distribución irano-turánicos (13), palaeácticos (11) y erémicos (11). La mayoría de los Noctuinae están claramente distribuidas en una o dos zonas de vegetación, solamente las dos especies tropicales, ubicuas y polífagas (Agrotis ipsilon y Agrotis segetum) se distribuyen por todo el país. En Jordania se encuentran la mayoría de las especies erémicas conocidas del Próximo Oriente (11 de 12), mientras que los elementos irano-turánicos (13 de 37) y los mediterráneos (5 de 19) de la misma región, están representados por, casi un tercio y casi un cuarto, respectivamente, de las especies conocidas. Treinta y nueve especies son univoltinas con el ratio más alto de 517

MÜLLER presencia en el otoño, de octubre a noviembre; las otras especies son multivoltinas, volado por lo menos dos veces - en primavera y después otra vez en el otoño. PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera, Noctuinae, biogeografía, fenología, ecología, Jordania, Oriente Próximo. Introduction Within the German-Israeli project for the study of the Middle Eastern Lepidoptera fauna we collected in Jordan for more than 20 years ( ) regularly Lepidoptera. This project was and is a joint effort of the Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University in Israel and the Zoologische Staatssammlungen and Museum Witt, München in Germany (MÜLLER, et al., 2006; KRAVCHENKO et al., 2007a; KRAVCHENKO et al., 2007b). Previous publications from HACKER et al. (HACKER & SCHREIER, 2001; HACKER, 2001; HACKER et al, 2001) are widely based on material collected within the first ten years of this project The last ten years we intensified our efforts and also other groups of entomologists started to explore the fauna of Jordan (FABIANO & ZILLI, 2001; STADIE & LEHMANN, 2012; KATBEH-BADER, 2013). Until today 224 species belonging to the six subfamilies Erebinae, Cuculliinae, Oncocnemidinae, Noctuinae, Xyleninae and Hadeninae are known from Jordan. At the end of the German-Israeli project the list of recorded species from theses subfamilies increased to 302 (including 44 Noctuinae). These six subfamilies will be published in a series of 5 papers and comprise about 80% of the Jordanian Noctuid fauna (KRAVCHENKO et al., 2007a; KRAVCHENKO et al., 2007b). The other subfamilies and groups will be combined at a later point in a sixth paper. The Noctuinae are a large subfamily with about 1200 species worldwide, but they are particularly well-represented in eremic regions (SPEIDEL et al., 1996). Adult Noctuinae and Heliothinae can be easily distinguished from other noctuids by the presence of (hind-)tibial spurs, the latter differing from the Noctuinae by additional (fore-) tibial claws.the larvae of the Noctuinae live on the ground, are polyphagous and feed on herbaceous plants as a result of which many species are agricultural pests. The larvae cut young plants close to the ground, hence the English name cutworms.

4 AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE NOCTUOIDEA OF JORDAN PART V Method of collecting, climate, relief and phyto-geographic regions of Jordan are discussed in detail in our manuscript published earlier (KRAVCHENKO et. al., 2014). Therefore, here we show only a map of vegetation areas and a topographic map. Results and discussion In Jordan 44 species of Noctuinae are presently known, three of which Agrotis margelanoides (Boursin, 1944), Dichagyris leucomelas Brandt, 1941 and Euxoa conspicua (Hübner, 1824) are recorded for the first time. The majority of species are Irano-Turanian (13), Eremic (11) and Palearctic elements (11); Mediterranean and Tropical elements are uncommon (9). Most Jordanian Noctuinae inhabit only one vegetation zone (Figs. 1-2). This group is dominated by eremic species restricted to the Saharo-Arabian and the Sudanian Penetration zone like: Agrotis haifae, A. herzogi, A. lasserei, A. pierreti, A. sardzeana, Dichagyris imperator and Euxoa anarmodia, typical oasis species are Euxoa canariensis and Agrotis spinifera. Species specific for tall grassland and arid dwarf bush communities are mainly Irano-Turanian elements like Dichagyris leucomelas, D. melanura, D. singularis and Euxoa robiginosa. Typical Palearctic and Mediterranean species (species of the genus Xestia, and Agrotis trux, A. exclamationis, Dichagyris nigrescens, Agrotis puta, A. bigramma) inhabit predominantly the hills of northern Jordan and the higher parts of the western Mountain Range. Ubiquitous species like the Palearctic elements Noctua pronuba, and Euxoa temera or the tropical element Peridroma saucia are widely spread within the Mediterranean and Irano- Turanian vegetation zones, but in the desert they are local and restricted to oases Number of species Palearctic Tropical Mediter. Ir-Turanian Eremic Number of zones Fig. 2. Frequency distribution of the Jordanian Noctuinae species in correlation to the number of occupied vegetation zones The Noctuinae presented in this paper compose less than half (44 / 93) of the known fauna of the Levant. Regarding the Eremic elements the differences are small, with only 1 of 12 Levantine species (Agrotis boetica Boisduval, 1837) not found in Jordan but the Irano-Turanian (13 of 24) and Mediterranean elements (5 of 14) represented a bit more than half in the first case of the Levantine SHILAP Revta. lepid., 43 (172), diciembre

This can be explained by the lack of high mountains (above 2000 m as are found in Lebanon, Syria and Israel) with alpine habitats sheltering a rich Mediterranean and Irano-Turanianoro-fauna dominated by the genera Chersotis, Dichagyris and Euxoa. In the Near East, the Western Mountain Range in Jordan is, together with the Judean Mountain Range in Israel, the southern distribution border of many Palearctic, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian elements. Here in general the species richness of fauna and flora, including Lepidoptera decreases from north to south. Tropical species are poorly represented in the Levant and are often restricted to the coastal plains and inland oases. 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% Species absent in Jordan Species found in Jordan 0% Eremic Irano-Turanian Mediterranean Tropical Parlearctic Fig. 3.
