New data on Lepidoptera of West Siberian Plain, Russia

“…New to the Russian part of the West Siberian Plain. The nearest known locality of this species is Pavlodar Province in North-East Kazakhstan (Titov et al, 2017). Main previously known distribution of Cirrhia tunicata in Russia was from Baikal region to the Far East (Kononenko, 2016).…”

“…The specimen was collected in steppe zone on the south of the Omsk Province, not so far from Kazakhstan border. On the territory of the West Siberian Plain the species was known from the Novosibirsk Province (Zolotarenko & Dubatolov, 2000;Ivonin et al, 2013) and Pavlodar Province of Kazakhstan (Titov et al, 2017). Fig.…”

“…New to the Russian Part of the West Siberian Plain and the first record from the Omsk Province. The nearest known locality is in the Pavlodar Province of Kazakhstan (Titov et al, 2017).…”

A new Orthosia Ochsenheimer, 1816 species from Iran (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Hadeninae)

“…The tribe Orthosiini, and within it the genus Orthosia, is conspicuously heterogeneous in external and genital morphology throughout the Palaearctic and Oriental regions. The great majority of the genera and species of the tribe occur in the Himalayan region, more precisely, in the Himalayan-Sino-Pacific region, which includes the main chains of the Himalaya from Pakistan to northern Indochina and the eastern frontier of the Tibetan Plateau, together with the western and central Chinese mountainous regions, Taiwan and the southern parts of Japan and continental Pacific areas (see Sugi 1955Sugi , 1986Poole 1989;Chang 1991;Chen 1999;Hreblay and Ronkay 1997;Kononen-ko et al 1998;Ronkay 2000, 2002;Titov et al 2017). It is worth noting that certain areas of Eurasia, especially the western Mediterranean and the arid Central Asian territories, are conspicuously poor in Orthosiini species (Ronkay et al 2001).…”

The first record of Diacrisia metelkana (Lederer, 1861) for Kazakhstan with notes on its bionomics and distribution (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini)

“…Nevertheless, data on Kazakhstan tiger moths can be found in some separated publications devoted to regional or local faunas and taxonomy of various groups (Dubatolov 1996;Dubatolov & de Vos 2010;Gorbunov 2011;Witt et al 2011;Knyazev 2015;Knyazev & Zuban' 2016;Titov et al 2017). The Noctuoidea fauna of North East Kazakhstan is studied more or less satisfactorily, the summarizing paper has been published two years ago (Titov et al 2017). In this paper, the authors report 480 Noctuoidea species including 20 species of the tribe Arctiini.…”
