( Short communiCatiOns) THE FUNGIVOROUS MOTH SCARDIA POLYPORI (ESPER) (LEPIDOPTERA, TINEIDAE) NEW TO NORWAY LEIF AARVIK & FRED MIDTGAARD The moth Scardia polypori (Esper) is recorded new to Norway. Several specimens were reared from the fungus Fomesfomentarius (L. ex Fr.) Kickx. growing on birch logs at Noresund in Buskerud. Remarks on distribution and a brief diagnosis of the species are given. Leif Aarvik, Tarnveien 6, N-1430 As, Norway. Fred Midtgaard, Norwegian Forest Research Institute, p.a. Box 61, N-1432 As-NLH, Norway. Members of the family Tineidae feed on different kinds of dead matter like wool, feather, fur, and rotting wood. However, many species of the subfamilies Scardiinae and Nemapogoninae have specialized in feeding on fungi. One of the most striking fungivorous tineids is Scardia polypori (Esper) which is herewith reported new to Norway. Fungi containing larvae of S. polypori were collected from birch logs at Noresund, Kf0dsherad, B0 (EIS 35) on 21.11.1981. The logs which measured 20-60 cm. in diameter were heavily • infested with the fungus Fomes fomentarius (L. ex. Fr.) Kickx. The green larvae of S. polypori were not only utilizing the fungi, but were.also seen feeding on the rotting wood. During 1981 4 d d and 2 9 9 were rellred. Several specimens of A rchinemapogon laterellus (Thunberg) which is anot • her fungivorous tineid also emerged. In addition the beetle Bolitophagus reticulatus (L.) was reared from the fungi. S. polypori is the largest representative of the Tineidae in our fauna. The expanse of our specimens is 43-46 mm. Its size and characteristic wing pattern makes S. polypori an unmistakable species. The forewings are blackish brown except along dorsum and termen where the ground colour is pale yellow with small dark markings. S. polypori occurs in Sweden and Finland but is absent from Denmark. In Sweden it has been recorded from nine provinces from Skilne north Fig. I. Scardia polypori from Noresund. to Halsingland (Benander 1946, Svensson 1976, 1977, 1981), and in Finland from ten provinces ranging from the south coast to the provinces Savonia borealis and Karelia borealis (Kyrki 1978, 1979). Otherwise S. polypori has been found in central Europe including Bavaria, Hungary, Austria, and the USSR. In central Europe it is a mountain species (Hannemann 1977).
