An annotated checklist of the Tortricidae of the region of Murcia (Spain) with new records, distribution and biological data (Lepidoptera, Tortricoidea)

The Murcia Region is located at the south-east corner of the Iberian Peninsula and has a great diversity of Lepidoptera fauna, as a zoogeographical crossroads and biodiversity hotspot with almost 1,100 butterflies and moth species recorded. The study of its Microlepidoptera fauna has already been in...

description The Murcia Region is located at the south-east corner of the Iberian Peninsula and has a great diversity of Lepidoptera fauna, as a zoogeographical crossroads and biodiversity hotspot with almost 1,100 butterflies and moth species recorded. The study of its Microlepidoptera fauna has already been initiated previously for the families Crambidae and Pyralidae into the clade Obtectometra.This document presents a detailed and critical catalogue of Tortricidae moths (Lepidoptera, Tortricoidea) from the Murcia Region, derived from an analysis of museum specimens as well as both published and new observations. A total of two subfamilies (Tortricinae and Olethreutinae), 52 genera and 107 species have been identified and are provided here, complete with their collection details, references in literature and biological information. This includes chorotype, voltinism, larval feeding behaviour and the flight periods observed within the study area. Amongst these, seventy-four species are recorded for the first time, twenty-six species are corroborated from existing literature and merely seven species have yet to be seen in the Murcia Region.
