Lepidoptera of Humid Area Oreni Vale (Oreni Vale, Botoani County, Romania) Constantin Corduneanu, Ctlin Balan, Ioan Surugiu
Rezumat Lepidopterele din zona umed Oreni Vale, judeul Botoani, Romnia Zona umed Oreni Vale se gsete n NE Romniei, la circa 10 km Sud de oraul Botoani. Este situat aproape de izvoarele rului Miletin, la o altitudine de circa 160 m, ntr-o zon depresionar nconjurat de dealuri joase. Solul este mltinos (aluvionar), speciile vegetale dominante fiind: Salix, Alnus glutinosa, Populus alba, Phragmites communis, Typha etc. Dealurile nvecinate sunt mpdurite cu specii forestiere, dintre care predomin: Carpinus betulas, Populus tremula, Quercus petraea, Quercus robur, Acer platanoides, Acer campestre, Cerasus avium etc. ntre anii 1985-2007 autorii au efectuat 91 aciuni de colectare, fiind identificate un numr de 536 specii reprezentnd 13,5 % din numrul speciilor de lepidoptere cunoscute din Romnia. Se remarc Arytrura musculus (Mntris, 1859), specie rar de origine est-asiatic (Coreea, Japonia), considerat un relict din vechea faun preglaciar. Specia se mai gsete n Romnia n Delta Dunrii, Dobrogea i lunca inferioar a Mureului. Aceasta este prima comunicare entomologic pentru aceast interesant zona umed, iar pentru bogia i diversitatea speciilor de lepidoptere propunem declararea zonei ca arie protejat.

Keywords: Lepidoptera, Romania, Humid Area Introduction The humid area Oreni Vale is situated in the North East of Romania, at about 10 kilometers away from the South of the city Botoani. It is situated near the springs of the Miletin River at about 160 meters altitude, in a depression, surrounded by low hills. The land is swampy, the dominant vegetable species are: Salix, Alnus glutinosa, Populus alba, Phragmites communis, Typha etc. The neighbouring hills are afforested by forestry species, among which predominate: Carpinus betulas, Populus tremula, Quercus petraea, Quercus robur, Acer platanoides, Acer campestre, Cerasus avium etc. Material and Methods The nocturnal species were collected using a light trap (125, 160 or 250 watt). The diurnal species were captured using an entomological net. Forster (1955), Higgins (1991), Koch (1991), Rkosy (1996) were used in the diagnosis of the species. The systematic of Lepidoptera, according to Karsholt (1996) and Rkosy (2003).
