(Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) in the Maltese Islands Authors: Schembri, Stephen P. Abstract: BORG (1932) in his list of Maltese Lepidoptera included, among several other 'exotic' species, NymphaLis poLychLorus, the Large Tortoiseshell Butterfly. Borg's list is considered unreliable by most local entomologist's and therefore this species has up to now been unconfirmed (VALLETTA, 1972; SAMMUT, 1984). 1986-09-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/14543 Title: Daphnis nerii L. (Lepidoptera : Sphingidae) in Malta Authors: Schembri, Stephen P. Abstract: A specimen of the Oleander Hawk Moth (Daphnis nerii L.) was handed to the author on 24 July 1984. This large moth was taken from Zurrieq (southern Malta) where it had entered a house, presumably having been attracted to light. The hawk moth was in good cond- ition when captured but due to mishandling it reached the author in a very battered state. However identification was readily made. 1986-09-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/14542 Title: The macrofungi of the Maltese Islands : additions and notes Authors: Briffa, Michael; Lanfranco, Edwin Abstract: Fifty species of macrofungi are recorded for the first tim.e from the Maltese Islands in the form of a classified annotated list; A brief history of the study of macrofungi in Malta is also given. 1986-09-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/14539 Title: Land snails from Comino (Mollusca : Gastropoda) Authors: Thake, Martin A.
