Announcement
We established a collaboration in order to contribute from a molecular point of view to our
ongoing researches on the fauna, ecology, bionomy, distribution, mapping, taxonomy,
nomenclature, bibliography, and database of the Lepidoptera of the Old World. The responsibilities
will be shared as follows:
Field studies, curating the collected material, morphological preparations, and examinations,
identification, etc. based on the morphology will be carried out by Muhabbet Kemal and Ahmet
Ömer Koçak.
The molecular analyses will be carried out by İsmail Yıldız and Sibel Kızıldağ, by using the
following methods: The full length lepidopteran DNA barcode sequence is a 658 base pair long
segment of the 5’ terminus of the mitochondrial COI gene (cytochrome c oxidase 1). DNA samples
(dried leg) will be prepared according to the accepted standards. The mitochondrial DNA will be
extracted with a RED Extract-N-Amp Tissue PCR Kit (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).
LepF1:ATTCAACCAATCATAAAGATATTGG and LepR1:TAAACTTCTGGATGTCCAAAAAATCA primers
(Fisher and Smith 2008) will be used for the PCR amplification of mt DNA COI gene and sent to
Macrogen (Netherlands) for alignment of sequences. Obtained the sequences will be aligned by
CodonCode Aligner Programs. Other sequences used in the present analyses will be obtained from
the GenBank database by MEGA 7. The mt DNA COI gene sequences were aligned using Clustal W
implemented in MEGA7 with default parameters (Hall 1999). The ends of regions will be trimmed
manually and unambiguously aligned sequences and gaps removed by Gblocks. FASTA formed
sequences will be used for transformed nexus and ML files in ALTER online programs. Maximum-
likelihood bootstrapping analyses will be carried out with 1000 replicates using RAxML with the
setting as described in Stamatakis et al (2008). ML analyses will be conducted online on the
CIPRES Portal v.3.3 (http://www.phylo.org/). A Bayesian inference (BI) analysis will be performed
with MrBayes 3.2.6 (Ronquist ve Huelsenbeck, 2003) using the Markov chain Monte Carlo
algorithm. The program JModeltest v.2.1.7 (Posada 2008) will be selected the most suitable
evolutionary model according to the AIC criterion for Bayesian inference.
The results of this research program will be published preferably in the serials of the Cesa. The
material used will be deposited in Biorepository: Cesa Collection http://grbio.org/cool/eaaz-xyfc
Participants: Dr. Muhabbet Kemal, Dr. İsmail Yıldız, Dr. Sibel Kızıldağ, Dr. Ahmet Ömer Koçak.

Abstract: On the moths of Mutki district (Bitlis Province, East Turkey (Lepidoptera). Cesa News 150: 2-46, 93
figs.
In this paper, 333 species of 21 families of Lepidoptera are listed from Mutki district (Bitlis Province, East
Turkey). Faunistically, 38 species are reported here as new to Mutki district. Similarly, 43 species are recorded
here new for the fauna of Bitlis province. A nomenclatural remark is given to Polyocha transversariella
(Zeller,1848). Morphological, faunistical comments or evaluations are mentioned for some species. Field
observations are supported by the images taken in nature. Illustrations of the adults with their genitalia,
tympanal organs, and head are given, if necessary.
Keywords: Lepidoptera, fauna, Mutki, Bitlis, Turkey.
Within the several research programs announced in the past3, the Lepidoptera of Turkey has been
studying by the authors for several decades. The moth fauna of the Süphan Volcano in the district Adilcevaz
of Bitlis Province was recently published by the authors (Kemal & Koçak, 2017a). In that paper, the authors
mentioned 50 species as new to the fauna of Bitlis Province. Few weeks ago, the first author completed and
submitted the final report of a Project, supported by Van Yüzüncü Yıl University on the Süphan diurnal
Lepidoptera (Bitlis Province) (Kemal, 2017). The present study is currently supported by Van Yüzüncü Yıl
University as a project, and important faunistical results are obtained from this year’s excursions to the
vicinities of Aydemir and Çaygeçit villages in the district Mutki (Bitlis Province). As a result of this, more
than 125 moth species were collected and evaluated here.
The first results on the moth fauna of Mutki are listed below, together with the previously known
species. Thus, the total species number of the Lepidoptera of Mutki recorded from the district rose to 437
(104 species butterflies (Kemal & Akın,2012), and 333 species moths of 21 families). Among them, 38 species
are reported here as new to Mutki only, while 43 species new to the fauna of Bitlis Province. As a result of
this, the species number of the Lepidoptera fauna of Bitlis Province rose to 1059 (202 butterflies, 857 moths)
(cf. Kemal & Koçak, 2007).
During the Van earthquake in 2011 (Anonym, 2011), some material collected by K. Akın from Mutki
were destroyed during their faunistical evaluations. Therefore, the species declared in the following list with
the sequence numbers 7, 8, 20, 23, 24, 26, 28, 33, 35, 37, 40, 43, 62, 103 just remain as recorded from Mutki.
The images are given here under the following subheadings; observational images from the nature
(Figs. 1-42), and the images of the specimens in the collection and their genitalia, etc. (Figs. 43-93).
Briefly, pictorial observations of 42 species from Mutki are mentioned here for the first time. Male genitalia
of 19 species, female genitalia of 3 species, tympanal organs of 4 species, and 3 head images of 2 species are
prepared and illustrated here for the first time.
The present material examined are partly preserved in the collections of the CESA4 and YYUIRC5.
1 This paper is a part of the Project, submitted by AVAM (Anatolian and Eurasian Research and Application Center), numbered 2015-
MRK-B345, entitled “Bitlis’in Mutki ilçesindeki tarihsel ve doğal çevre üzerine araştırmalar”, supported by Van Yüzüncü Yıl University,
Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Başkanlığı, Van, Turkey. This project has two main aspects. Namely, the natural environment (here the
Lepidoptera fauna), and the historical structures of Mutki.
