The taxonomic separateness of the species Aporophyla lueneburgensis (Freyer, 1848) and Aporophyla lutulenta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) occurring in Poland (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Morphological and genetic comparisons were carried out of specimens of two sister species Aporophyla lueneburgensis (Freyer, 1848) and Aporophyla lutulenta ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), which are distributed allopatrically in Poland. The specimens from different populations of these two species hardly differ morphologically but do differ genetically. The mean genetic distance between the groups of A. lueneburgensis and A. lutulenta examined here indicates that their geographic populations can be treated as belonging to separate species. Hence, A. lueneburgensis and A. lutulenta occurring in Poland can be regarded as two separate but sister species.

First record of Stegania trimaculata (de Villers, 1789) (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in Poland, with comments on its distribution in Europe
The article reports on the first record of Stegania trimaculata (de Villers, 1789) (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) from western Poland. Its distribution in Europe and beyond is discussed, with particular focus on its eastward expansion and possible colonization of western Poland. The presence of this species in Asian countries is questioned in the light of possible confusion with Stegania dilectaria (Hübner, 1790) (Lepidoptera, Geometridae).
