Last summer, the second author carried out field studies around Ta§koprii village of Kulp
(Diyarbakir Prov.), situated in the mountainous region. During night collecting using a light trap with
a lamp of Mercury Vapour 160W, two specimens of recently described species, Echthromyrmex
sehitlerolmez Kogak & Kemal were captured. Although the specimens were fresh, ants destroyed their
abdomens partly in the next day. Comparing the wing markings of the Kulp specimens with the
Holotype from Hakkari, some minor differences were noticed. However, it seems not so significant
for the time being.

For determining the distribution of the species precisely in South East Turkey, more materials
from new localities are needed.

Abstract: This paper deals with the nomenclatural status of the subgenus Sinocampa Kononenko &
Fibiger,20o8 in the family Noctuidae (Lepidoptera), and the subspecies Protaetia (Liocola) lugubris ssp.
orientalis Medvedev,i964 in the family Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera). A replacement name Katyusha (nom.
nov.) at the subgeneric level, and Protaetia (Liocola) lugubris ssp. kalinka (nom. nov.) at subspecific level
are proposed.

Cesa News was established by the Cesa, on 8 January, 2008. Information about the activities of the Cesa, i.e.,
announcements, general news, expeditions, publications, visitors, workshops, seminars, faunal lists, and similar activities
are published in the Cesa News, with rich original illustrations.

Cesa News has internet issues only, in pdf format, and freely accessible. Currently, all the issues are located in the Internet
Archive. Cesa News is continously recorded by the Zoological Record, and listed in the Scientific Master Journal List of the
Thomson Reuters. No new nomenclatural act was published in the Cesa News so far. However, it is recommended to the
readers interested in the World Entomology, as it gives an opportunity following the scientific activities, and also other
publications of the Cesa. The field programs of the Cesa Projects on the Insects of Turkey (ETR) and the Old World (EOW)
will begin in the coming spring of 2009. Therefore, the excursional notes on the insects, and as results of these, faunistical
evaluations will be more frequently seen in the coming issues of the Cesa News.

After completing the first year, totally 50 scientific articles were published in 38 issues, together with many announcements
on various subjects. Totally, 587 copyrighted original images in good condition, and 9 distributional maps were published.
Contents of the Cesa News in the year of 2008, with full bibliographical information are given in Miscellaneous Papers
Nr.146.
