Dans la poursuite des inventaires men\és depuis 2011, l\&$\#$39;entomofaune de six sites situ\és dans le secteur de la Presqu\&$\#$39;\île de la Caravelle ont \ét\é \échantillonn\és en 2014. Il s\&$\#$39;agit de cinq zones naturelles d\&$\#$39;int\ér\êt \écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) et de la r\éserve naturelle de la Caravelle. Des techniques de collecte vari\ées (pi\èges d\&$\#$39;interception, pi\ège lumineux, pi\èges a\ériens, recherche active et mise en \émergence) ont \ét\é utilis\ées durant une mission de terrain de 20 jours en mai 2014 et compl\ét\ées par une phase de terrain en septembre comprenant des techniques compl\émentaires (pi\ège Malaise et assiettes jaunes en particulier). Au total 7 900 sp\écimens pour 380 esp\èces ont \ét\é d\étermin\és par un ensemble de 27 sp\écialistes. G\éographiquement proches, l\&$\#$39;ensemble de ces sites poss\ède un fonds de faune assez homog\ène, compos\é d\&$\#$39;esp\èces de for\êts s\èches et d\&$\#$39;esp\èces ubiquistes. Les analyses se sont appuy\ées sur la liste des insectes d\éterminants de ZNIEFF en Martinique, des esp\èces \à la fois bien connues, end\émiques et g\én\éralement localis\ées. La r\éserve de la Caravelle et la ZNIEFF 12 de Bois Pothau apparaissent comme les 2 sites les plus int\éressants au regard de ces esp\èces d\éterminantes. La ZNIEFF 02 (Morne R\égale, Pointe Batterie) s\&$\#$39;est \également r\év\él\ée riche en esp\èces dont de nombreux end\émiques. \À l\&$\#$39;oppos\é, la for\êt mar\écageuse du Galion, \écosyst\ème remarquable de petite surface, ne compte pas d\&$\#$39;insecte d\éterminant ; et la ZNIEFF 37 (Pointe Jean-Claude) n\&$\#$39;en comporte qu\&$\#$39;un. La for\êt du Galion a cependant permis la capture d\&$\#$39;une noctuelle qui n\&$\#$39;\était pas encore signal\ée de Martinique malgr\é un bon niveau de connaissance sur ce groupe. La richesse en col\éopt\ères saproxyliques de ces sites, qui ont \ét\é tr\ès fortement d\éfrich\és dans les si\ècles pr\éc\édents, est discut\ée. La recolonisation \à partir de petites zones reliques, dont certaines de ces ZNIEFF, est probable. Les d\éterminations r\éalis\ées pour cette \étude viennent compl\éter le r\éf\érentiel taxonomique des insectes de Martinique d\&$\#$39;au moins 19 esp\èces connues d\&$\#$39;autres \îles et non encore signal\ées de Martinique.

Based on literature and the study of 345 specimens, four species are known and two are likely to be present in French Guiana. A key to species and a list of data are provided. A multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) showed that the three main localities are somewhat distinct, as well as the years 2007-2008 and 2011. Phenology shows that species are flying all year round, with a wide peak of H. cavifrons and H. curvatus during the dry season and early rainy season, fact also shown by the MCA results. On the contrary, H. diadema is more abundant during the first half of the year (rainy season). Monthly abundances appear to be significantly correlated with rainfalls of the previous 2nd and 7th months for H. cavifrons, 2nd and 3rd months for H. curvatus. However, the lack of knowledge of the biology of the species(developmental time, number of annual generations) prevents any hypothesis to be confirmed.

The 400+ nominal species of the worldwide genus Gonatocerus Nees are reclassified into 14 genera that are placed in
Gonatocerini, which is defined by three putative autapomorphies. A key to the 13 extant genera of Gonatocerini is given, based on females. Five previously described genus-group taxa are recognized: Cosmocomoidea Howard stat. rev. (= ater group, of authors), Gahanopsis Ogloblin stat. rev. (= deficiens group, of authors), Gastrogonatocerus Ogloblin stat. n. (= membraciphagus group, of authors), Gonatocerus (= sulphuripes group, of authors), and Lymaenon Walker stat. rev. (= litoralis group, of authors). One new fossil genus, Archigonatocerus Huber gen. n., with two fossil species, A. balticus Huber sp. n., and A. longivena Huber sp. n. and one fossil species in Gonatocerus, G. janzeni Huber sp. n., are described, all from Baltic amber from the Eocene epoch. Eight new extant genera and 16 new extant species are described and their species keyed: Cosmocomopsis Huber gen. n., with C. flopsis Huber sp. n. and C. mopsis Huber sp. n.; Heptagonatocerus Huber gen. n., with H. madagascarensis Huber sp. n., H. magnificus Huber sp. n., H. parvus Huber sp. n., and H. pulchellus Huber sp. n.; Krateriske Huber gen. n., with K. ecuadorensis Huber sp. n., K. guianensis Huber sp. n., and K. peruensis Huber sp. n.; Octomicromeris Huber gen. n., with O. compacta Huber sp. n. and O. brevis Huber sp. n.; Progonatocerus Huber gen. n., with P. albiclava Huber sp. n. and P. brunneiclava Huber sp. n; Tanyxiphium Huber gen. n., with T. breviovipositor Huber sp. n., T. longissimum Huber sp. n., and T. seychellense Huber sp. n. Yoshimotoana Huber gen. n. (= masneri group, of authors) with one included species and Zeyanus Huber, gen. n. (= asulcifrons group, of authors) with 9 included species. Keys to the species of seven genera: Archigonatocerus, Cosmocomopsis, Heptagonatocerus, Krateriske, Octomicromeris, Progonatocerus, and Tanyxiphium are provided. Information for each nominal species catalogued includes the original reference, kind, sex and depository of primary type, and subsequent references that include relevant previous generic combinations, if applicable. The type locality is given, based on original descriptions or, where necessary, subsequent publications that provide clarification on the collection locality. Two new synonyms are proposed: Gonatocerus similis Gupta \& Poorani, 2008, syn. n. under G. bialbifuniculatus Subba Rao, 1989; and Gonatocerus hispaniolus Triapitsyn \& Huber, 2010, syn. n. under G. masneri Yoshimoto, 1990. Among the species, 245 new combinations are proposed: 82 in Cosmocomoidea, 1 in Cosmocomopsis, 4 in Gahanopsis, 8 in Gastrogonatocerus, 3 in Gonatocerus, 135 in Lymaenon, 2 in Tanyxiphium, 1 in Yoshimotoana, and 9 in Zeyanus. Revived combinations are proposed for Twelve species: 1 in Cosmocomoidea, 1 in Gahanopsis, 2 in Gonatocerus, and 8 in Lymaenon. The 410 nominal species group names are catalogued under their currently accepted genus and also listed alphabetically in an appendix. A tentative generic phylogeny is proposed.\

Variations in diel activity among hyperdiverse tropical communities of\ moths, despite representing a key component of niche partitioning between\ species, have barely been studied so far. Using light trapping from\ dawn to sunset over a 1-year period in French Guiana, we investigated\ these variations within and between two families of moths (Sphingidae\ and Saturniidae). Our results revealed contrasting patterns in flight activity\ at night between Sphingidae and Saturniidae. Sphingidae reached their\ peak in species richness and abundance between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.,\ followed by a decrease around 11:00 p.m. to midnight, whereas\ Saturniidae were continuously present throughout the night, with a peak\ around midnight. In addition, we found changes in diel activity among\ some of the most common genera in each family, highlighting distinct\ behavioral, physiological, and functional traits among taxa. Given differences\ in flight activity at different taxonomic levels, it is strongly recommended\ to monitor by light trapping throughout the night to effectively\ sample saturniid and sphingid assemblages, even though the activity of\ Sphingidae sharply declines after midnight. These results improve the\ general natural history information of tropical moths and reinforce the\ need of further research on the ecological and taxonomic consequences\ of differences in diel activity.
