Contribution to the knowledge of the fauna of noctuoid moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) of Kyrgyzstan

The paper contains data about 354 species of owlet moths, collected in 2017–2020 in Kyrgyzstan. This work is based on the examination of 4043 specimens, from which genitalia for 600 specimens were dissected. The following number of species is recorded for various territories of the country for the first time: 12 species for Kyrgyzstan; 27 species for West TianShan; eight species for Central Tian-Shan; 29 species for Inner Tian-Shan; one species for North Tian-Shan; 10 species for Alai. In total, 878 species of moths are known in the fauna of Kyrgyzstan. Due to the intermediate position of Kyrgyzstan between Kazakhstan and Tajikistan we can predict an average species number in Kyrgyzstan as between 950 and 1000 species. Thus, the fauna of Noctuoidea of this country is studied by 80–90% to the present time

New data on Pyraloidea and Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) rare species distribution basing on materials from Rostov Region (Russia)

The limits of species ranges for 11 rare pyraloids: Parapoynx affinialis (Guenée, 1854), Tegostoma comparalis (Hübner, 1796), Aeschremon disparalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851), Anthophilopsis moeschleri (Christoph, 1862), Epascestria pustulalis (Hübner, [1823]), Achyra ustrinalis (Christoph, 1877), Anania ochrofascialis (Christoph, 1882), Ostrinia peregrinalis (Eversmann, 1852), Ematheudes punctella (Treitschke, 1833), Ephestia parasitella Staudinger, 1859, Eurhodope rosella (Scopoli, 1763) and 3 noctuid moths species: Phidrimana amurensis (Staudinger, 1892), Callistege fortalitium (Tauscher, 1809), Simplicia rectalis (Eversmann, 1842) are defined basing on the material collected in Rostov Region (Russia) during 2010–2013 by the light-trapping. The Similar Ringed China-mark Parapoynx affinialis is noted for fauna of Russia for the first time. Nine species were found in the Don River basin for the first time. The regional maps with collecting sites for each of 14 species are given. In Rostov Region, the northern or northeastern borders of geographic ranges are established for T. comparalis, A. disparalis, E. pustulalis, A. ustrinalis, E. punctella, E. parasitella, E. rosella, and O. peregrinalis; the western borders, for P. amurensis and C. fortalitium; the north-western borders, for P. affinialis, A. moeschleri, and A. ochrofascialis; the southern border of easterneuropean part of range for Simplicia rectalis
