Armenia is a mountainous country with a characteristic ragged relief and a wide variety of climatic conditions and soils. In addition, Armenia is located on the intersection of two different physical-geographic areas, particularly, various botanical-geographic regions, such as the Caucasian mesophilous and Armenian-Iranian xerophilous ones, where natural speciation is active. -

Langourov Abstract The paper represents results of entomological expedition carried out in the central and southern parts of Armenia in May and June 2018. It includes a list of 124 Lepidoptera species (Papilionoidea) recorded with comments on their distribution. Two species are reported for the first time for the country: Pieris mannii (Mayer, 1851) and Plebejus morgianus (Kirby, 1871). Three cases of suspected errors in label data of the material are reviewed. It is assumed that these errors are attributable to mislabelling of material collected elsewhere, and it is concluded that all that records be considered highly doubtful and preferably ignored altogether until independent confirmation. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, distribution, new data, revised records, Armenia. Nuevos datos sobre los Lepidoptera de Armenia (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) Resumen El trabajo representa el resultado de la expedición entomológica realizada en la parte central y del sur de Armenia en mayo y junio de 2018. -

Long-term river flow forecasting methoods are used for the theoretical basis for the development of river basin water balance equation : the basins with high marks nascent river basin water balance should be organized according to higher zones . Spring flood water balance equation is used for the calculation of the measure or impossibillness to get through , so they are replaced by the flow and the approximate korelyatsion connections between the key factors , including the multifactorial flow prediction recommend using multifactorial linear regression method , which is believed to be the predicted size ( prediktant ) and the variables ( factors or prediktorner ) .There is a linear connection between the above mentioned method to calculate flow of the number of rivers of Armenia which are forecasts for 25 stations. The experimental and calculated results are about 80 %. Long term river flow for casting methods are used for the development of meteorological forecasting and those forecasting methods are completely different and depends on the level of intervention of meteorological conditions.
