A new genus, Zolotuhia gen. nov., with the type species paradoxa, sp. from Kyrgyzstan, Talassky Mt. Range, is established in lepidopteran family Lasiocampidae. The genus characterized by a surprising mix of features appearance, wing pattern, venation, male and female genitalia, shared different groups lappet moths. Based on review morphology Chondrosteginae/Poecilocampinae/Macromphaliinae lineage Lasiocampidae, tentative morphological phylogeny genera Chondrosteginae/Poecilocampidae group...
The paper presents a new species of geometrid moth the genus Catarhoe Herbulot, 1951 from Kyrgyzstan, and offers concise taxonomic review based on existing literature an analysis COI barcode mitochondrial DNA fragment in Epirrhoini. A monotypic subgenus are described: (Hyporhoe subgen. nov.) narynensis sp. nov. is distinguished by unique set characters male genitalia, which markedly differs those other congeneric species, has significant genetic distances rest spp. but not exceeding into at...
Based on the results of long-term monitoring fauna diversity in Primorsky Krai, lists individual taxa compiled by experts, and accordance with resolution Government Krai dated April 18, 2023, No. 258-pp, a complete updated list species (subspecies, populations) protected animals inhabiting region is presented. The includes 244 representing 5 types, 14 classes, 52 orders, including 2 annelids, one each nemertines myriapods, 29 mollusks, 3 crustaceans, 63 insects, fish, 6 amphibians reptiles,...
A new species, Xyrosaris insularis sp. n., was found in the Far East of Russia. Most specimens were obtained through rearing larvae that fed on Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. (Celastraceae). The genetic distances between mtCOI sequences X. and congeneric species are range 1.2-13.9%. Minimal distance (1.2%) discovered lichneuta Meyrick from Shaanxi (China), which is lower than standard barcoding threshold 2% for delineation, but both taxa differ well genital morphology. description a...
The article describes and discusses unexpected feature of agrological structure the moths' species assemblages on four small shelf islands in Peter Great Gulf (Sea Japan, south Russian Far East). Before insect fauna these was almost unknown. study conducted according to standard entomological procedures collecting chorological analysis local faunas. Statistical performed using detrended correspondence analysis. Typification areas made following principles by Gorodkov. As a result, it found...
A checklist of the Geometridae Kamchatka Peninsula and adjacent islands is presented. total 80 species are recorded, 20 omitted as doubtful for fauna territory. One new five subspecies described (Xanthorhoe okhotinaria Beljaev & Vasilenko sp. n., Xanthorhoe sikhotenaria ssp. Dysstroma citratum kamtshadalarium Hydriomena impluviata djakonovi Epirrita autumnata smetanini Eupithecia kurilensis mironovi n.). recorded Russian Far East (Kamchatka included) (Macaria halituaria [Guenée, 1858])....
The list of 52 species geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) the Baikal region (Irkutskaya oblast and Buryatia, Russia) is given.Rheumaptera neocervinalis Inoue, 1982 reported as new for Siberia, 3 are region, 18 Irkutskaya 4 Buryatia; distribution in confirmed; literature reference 23 from considered dubious.As result, total number geometrids reaches to 347 153 genera.Genus name Scardostrenia Sterneck, 1928, stat.n., removed synonymy with Proteostrenia Warren, 1895; original...
The paper provides a zoogeographical characteristic of the fauna geometrid moth (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) Amurskaya Oblast (Far East Russia) in aspects regional zoogeographic connections with neighboring territories and local faunas main types landscapes within region. It has been established that shows clear similarity southeastern part Far Eastern Federal District terms species composition participation longitudinal altitudinal-latitudinal groups areas. Differences from other regions are...
An annotated list of 30 species Geometridae from Amurskaya oblast is given.Twenty seven are recorded this region for the first time and distribution three in confirmed by studied specimens.The diagnostic differences Meteima gilva Djakonov, 1952 M. mediorufa (Bastelberger, 1911) Operophtera peninsularis 1931 O. brunnea Nakajima, 1991 discussed.General Perizoma contrita (Prout, 1914) и Photoscotosia atrostrigata (Bremer, 1864) clarified.
The types of a little known species Holarctias rufinularia (Staudinger, 1901) are illustrated for the first time and redescribed, misidentifications this corrected. Photos Acidalia rufularia Eversmann, 1851, rufociliaria Bremer, 1864, published time. Species composition, diagnosis relationships genus Prout, 1913 discussed.
Eleven species of geometrid moths from the subfamily Ennominae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) are reported for first time Amurskaya Oblast at extreme northwestern limit distribution mixed broadleaved – Korean pine ( Pinus koraiensis ) forests, a great distance their closest habitats in Khabarovsky Krai and Primorsky Krai, Russian Far East: Eilicrinia nuptaria Bremer, 1864, Eudjakonovia emundata (Christoph, 1881), Menophra senilis (Butler, 1878), Ectropis excellens 1884), aigneri Prout,...
Skeleton-muscular anatomy of the male genitalia Devenilia corearia (Leech, 1891), Synegia ichinosawana (Matsumura, 1925), Platycerota incertaria Lomographa bimaculata (Fabricius, 1775), and Cabera pusaria (Linnaeus, 1758) is described. Probable synapomorphies Deveniliini, its generic composition relations to Baptini Caberini are discussed. Presumably, Deveniliini separate lineage ennomies, basal Caberini.
