New records of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) from Montenegro

Four areas in Montenegro were visited at the end of June – beginning of July 2020. We found 12 species of Zygaenidae. Second records for Adscita statices drenowskii (Alberti, 1939) and Jordanita globulariae (Hübner, 1793) for Montenegro are provided here. Additional records are given for J. notata (Zeller, 1847) and Zygaena punctum Ochsenheimer, 1808 for which there are less than ten localities known in Montenegro.


Introduction
Montenegro and Albania are the least studied Balkan countries considering Zygaenidae (Nahirnić, 2018). In the last ten years, four species were reported for the first time in Montenegro: Zygaena bizae (Esper, 1800), Z. minos ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Z. cynarae (Esper, 1789), and Z. transalpina (Esper, 1780) Nahirnić et al., 2013;Nahirnić & Tarmann, 2014) increasing the total number of species occurring in the country to 23. In addition, a few other species are expected, such as Theresimima ampellophaga (Bayle-Barelle, 1808), Rhagades pruni ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Adscita albanica (Naufock, 1926), and Jordanita graeca (Jordan, 1907). Published data for many species, even those common in the wider region, are scarce; for some species of Procridinae data are not reliable because genitalia examination has not been done. Most of the attention was given to coastal areas, Mt Durmitor, the Tara River Canyon and their adjacent areas. Despite its small size, vast areas of the country lack any data on Zygaenidae. Here we present data for ar-

Methods
Procridinae and Zygaena purpuralis were determined by the examination of genitalia. Dissection of genitalia was done according to Robinson (1975). All genitalia were preserved in micro vials filled with glycerol with the exception of genitalia of one male specimen of Adscita statices statices (Linnaeus, 1758) x A. statices drenowskii (Alberti, 1939), which was mounted in Euparal on a slide. Photo of the genitalia slide was taken using Nikon Camera with AF-S Micro Nikkor Lens. The material is deposited in the collection of the first author.

Results and discussion
We recorded a total of twelve species: four of Procridinae and eight of Zygaeninae. In the list of the species below, each species is followed by the numbers of localities and comments on its occurrence in Montenegro.

Procridinae
Adscita statices statices -(Linnaeus, 1758): 2, 13, 14. Adscita statices statices x A. statices drenowskii (Alberti, 1939): 2. Dissection of genitalia is necessary for the proper determination of A. statices. The two subspecies A. statices statices and A. statices drenowskii differ in the largest cornutus of the aedeagus. In the aforementioned subspecies cornutus is curved, while in the lattercornutus is straight. Intermediate forms show curviness of cornutus of different degree. Drawings are given in Tarmann (1979) and Jakšić (1990). This is the first photo of genitalia of a male hybrid (Fig. 1, ANZ 781). Here we emphasis the importance of exploring cornutus of A. statices. A. statices drenowskii is distributed on the Southern Balkans and the hybridisation belt goes from eastern, central, southern and western Serbia, northern Montenegro, northeastern Albanian and northwestern North Macedonia. Our record in Grahovsko Polje is a continuation of the northern border of its distribution and it is the westernmost record of A. statices drenowskii. In Montenegro, a hybrid was found only once at Čeline at the Crno Jezero on Mt Durmitor (Jakšić, 1990). There are no other records on A. statices drenowskii in the country. In fact, there are no records of A. statices in almost the whole southern part of Montenegro. Adscita mannii -(Lederer, 1853): 10, 18. We consider almost all published records for Montenegro (Rebel, 1913(Rebel, , 1917Rebel & Zerny, 1931;Vasić et (Jakšić, 1990;Jakšić et al., 2019). Our three additional records are located in new areas. Jordanita globulariae -(Hübner, 1793): 18. The only published record for J. globulariae for Montenegro is from the Lijeva Reka (Veruša) (Sijarić, 1991). Kruševo on Mt Visitor is the second record of this species in the country. J. globulariae is not rare in the surrounding countries and, therefore, we expect this species to be recorded relatively frequently in Montenegro as research on Zygaenidae intensifies.

Zygaeninae
Zygaena purpuralis -(Brünnich, 1763): 3, 10, 12, 17. In Montenegro two species of Z. purpuralis complex occur: Z. purpuralis and Z. minos ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775). These species can be distinguished only on the basis of genitalia or larvae (Nahirnić, 2019). Z. purpuralis is known to occur at 16 localities in Montenegro based on reliable and precise records published in Naumann et al. (1983), Jakšić (1990Jakšić ( , 2003, Nahirnić et al. (2011b) and Jakšić et al. (2019). Our new data originate from the areas where it has not been found before. Other papers that mention Z. purpuralis exist but determination has not been based on the examination of genitalia. Every reliable record based on dissection is valuable and will contribute to the knowledge on distribution of both Z. purpuralis and Z. minos in Montenegro.

Zygaena punctum -
Ochsenheimer, 1808: 10, 14. It has been reported from less than ten localities in Montenegro, mostly in the southern part of the country. It is a xerothermophilous species feeding on Eryngium spp., of which E. campestre L. is a common species in Montenegro. Its suitable habi-tats are well-represented in the coastal lowlands and mountains and we expect it to be a common species there. Previously, it has been found at two localities on Mt Lovćen. Here we add two more localities from Mt Lovćen. Zygaena carniolica - (Scopoli, 1763): 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. In comparison with the surrounding countries, Z. carniolica is not a widespread species in Montenegro. This is certainly the result of lack of research. Ochsenheimer, 1808: 10, 11, 16. In comparison with the surrounding countries, Z. angelicae is not a widespread species in Montenegro. This is certainly the result of lack of research. Zygaena filipendulae -(Linnaeus, 1758): 1, 3, 5, 11, 12, 15. Even Z. filipendulae, the most common and widespread species in the region, is not distributed throughout the country. This is certainly the result of lack of research. Zygaena lonicerae -(Scheven, 1777): 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15. Common and widespread species in the region but not widespread in Montenegro. This is certainly the result of lack of research. Our record from the Grahovsko Polje fills the distributional gap in the area of southern Bosnia and Herzegovina and western Montenegro.
