Abstract

Caloptilia cuculipennella (Hübner, 1796) was first discovered on the territory of Belarus. It is assumed that this species is distributed throughout the country. Fraxinus excelsior L., is indicated as a host plant. This species is the 7th representative of the genus Caloptilia Hübner, [1825] for the fauna of Belarus.

A new host plant for Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimić, 1986 (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in Volga region

“…However, in the conditions of the secondary range, miner caterpillars were recorded on other species of the chestnut genus [21,22], as well as on other plants of other families: Acer pseudoplatanus L., A. campestre L., A. platanoides L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Prunus avium L., Ligustrum vulgare L., Euonymus europaeus L., Carpinus betulus L., Fagus sylvatica L., Cornus sanguinea L., Tilia platyphyllos Scop., Lonicera xylosteum L., Corylus avellana L. [23]. In Belarus, since 2021, the species has been observed on silver maple Acer saccharinum [24]. In the southern region of Russia, a miner species was recorded on Acer pseudoplatanus L. [18], other plants were not noted as host for miner larvae before the author's research.…”
