Autumn moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) new for the fauna of Kunashir Island

“…DISTRIBUTION. The species was formerly known from Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Yaku; Korea, China, including Taiwan (Shikata, 2011) but not long ago it was reported from Primorskii krai (Koshkin et al, 2021;Matov et al, 2021).…”

New records of tropical and subtropical noctuoid moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Nolidae) from Primorsky krai, Russia

“…New finds of tropical and subtropical Lepidoptera species in the south of the Russian Far East may be caused by general warming in the region. This trend is especially pronounced in the last 10 years, when about ten species of Lepidoptera from the superfamily Noctuoidea and the family Sphingidae were found for the first time in Russia (Dubatolov & Yakovlev, 2013;Koshkin et al, 2015Koshkin et al, , 2021aKoshkin et al, , 2021bBeljaev & Velyaev, 2016;Koshkin & Kostyunin, 2017;Spitsyn & Spitsyna, 2021;. Many other species during this time significantly expanded their ranges to the north Koshkin, 2021;Koshkin et al, 2021b).…”
