Abstract The paper provides information on the distribution of 45 species of Heteroptera from 10 families in the Kurai steppe in the southeast of the Russian Altai (Altai Republic). Of these, Mimula scutellaris Kiritshenko, 1931 recorded for the first time for the fauna of Russia and Bagrada stolida (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1839) — for Siberia. Following 15 species are recorded as new for the Altai Republic: Nabis punctatus mimoferus Hsiao, 1964 (Nabidae); Deraeocoris ventralis ventralis Reuter, 1904, Apolygus nigronasutus (Stål, 1858), Lygidea illota (Stål, 1858), Lygus rugulipennis Poppus, 1911, Lygus wagneri Remane, 1955, Globiceps fulvicollis Jakovlev, 1877, Psallus betuleti (Fallén, 1807) (Miridae); Neides propinquus Horváth, 1901 (Berytidae); Ortholomus punctipennis (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838), Kleidocerys resedae resedae (Panzer, 1797), Cymus glandicolor Hahn, 1832, Xanthochilus quadratus (Fabricius, 1798) (Lygaeidae); Myrmus calcaratus Reuter, 1891 (Rhopalidae); Sciocoris abbreviatus (Reuter, 1879) (Pentatomidae). Key words: Biodiversity, Heteroptera, Kurai Steppe, south-western Altai, Siberia, fauna, new records. Introduction In the paper presents new data on true bugs of the Kurai steppe which occupies vast intermontane depression up to 20 km across and 1500–1600 m above sea level in the middle reaches of the river Chuya in the South- East of Altai Mountains (Altai Republic). From the north, the depression is framed by the high (3000 m and higher) Kuraisky, and from the south by the North-Chuyskiy mountain ridges (Figs 1, 2). The vegetation of the mountain steppe is depleted and shows similarities with the deserted steppes of Mongolia. South-Eastern Altai as well as South Tuva located to the east are outposts of the Central Asian semi-deserts in Southern Siberia, and in zoogeographic terms these territories are of great scientific interest. Especial studies on heteropterans in the South-East Altai have not been carried out, there are only scattered information in publications of various authors (Kiritshenko 1910a, 1910b; Kovrigin 1958, 1965; Péricart 1969; Petrova 1975; Kerzhner & Josifov 1966; Kerzhner 1970, 1972, 1979, 1981; Golub 1977; Ecologica Montenegrina, 38, 2020, 25-35 HETEROPTERANS OF KURAI STEPPE, RUSSIAN ALTAI Vinokurov & Golub 2007, 2009; Vinokurov & Kanyukova 1995; Kanyukova & Vinokurov 2009; Vinokurov 2019, Vinokurov & Rudoi 2020, etc.). A.N. Kiritshenko (1910a, 1910b) according to the collections of E.G. Rodd for the Chuya steppe first indicated nine species of bugs belonging to eight families: Saldidae — Salda littoralis (Linnaeus, 1758); Miridae — Deraeocoris punctulatus (Fallén, 1807), Lygus pratensis (Linnaeus, 1758); Lygaeidae — Lamprodema maura (Fabricius, 1803); Alydidae — Megalotomus ornaticeps (Stål, 1858); Cydnidae — Camptophorus niveimarginatus Scott, 1874; Scutelleridae — Odontoscelis fuliginosa (Linnaeus, 1761), Phimodera reuteri Kiritshenko, 1910; Pentatomidae — Aelia sibirica Reuter, 1884. Significant hemipterological material from this part of Altai was collected by an expedition of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) with the participation of I.M. Kerzhner, a prominent specialist in the order Heteroptera in 1964. During the study of these collections, still undescribed endemics of the Altai-Sayan mountainous country were found, such as: Xylocoris altaicus Péricart, 1969 (Anthocoridae), Myrmedobia asiatica Péricart, 1969 (Microphysidae), Teratocoris coriaceus Vinokurov, 1995, Dimorphopterus atrans Kerzhner, 1970, Systellonotus lesbia Linnavuori, 1972, Agraptocoris oncotyloides Vinokurov, 1995 (Miridae), Dictyonota nigricosta Kerzhner, Josifov, 1966, Tingis altaica Golub, 1977 (Tingidae). Below are listed data on 45 species of Heteroptera belonging to 10 families collected in the Kurai steppe. Figure 1. Kurai steppe in South-East Altai (photo by A.E. Naydenov). Material and methods Investigations were carried out in the Kurai steppe in late July–early August 2019 on the territory of the Kosh-Agach and Ulagan Districts of the Altai Republic (Fig. 2). The bugs were collected in steppe, meadow, and forest biotopes using methods accepted in entomology (Fasulati 1971; Golub et al. 2012). A small but interesting material in total 110 specimens were collected including some species that not previously recorded from Altai Mts. Of them Mimula scutellaris Kir., and Bagrada stolida H.-S. were transferred to the Heteroptera collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg). 26 VINOKUROV & RUDOI Figure 2.

Antestia Stal, 1864 gives its family name and most of them emit an 1. Antestia anchora (Thunberg) unpleasant odour, offensive in nature, produced by a pair of glands in the thorax and is released through *2. Antestia cruciata (Fabricius) openings in the metathorax. Although majority Genus 2. Plautia Stal, 1867 of these bugs are plant sucking, the members *3. Plautia crossota (Fabricius) belonging to the family Asopinae are wholly or partially predaceous. Pentatomoidea is one of the Tribe AGONOSCELIDINI largest superfamilies of Heteroptera comprising of Genus 3. Agonoscelis Spin, 1837 1301 genera and 7182 species distributed in sixteen 4.

    A Faunistic Approach to Assess Potential Side-Effects of Genetically Modified Bt-Corn on Non-Target Arthropods Under Field Conditions

    Biocontrol Science and Technology (March 2004), Vol. 14, No. 2, 129Á/170 A Faunistic Approach to Assess Potential Side-Effects of Genetically Modified Bt-Corn on Non-Target Arthropods Under Field Conditions 1 2 1 1 M. P. CANDOLFI ,K.BROWN, C. GRIMM , B. REBER AND H. SCHMIDLI1 1Syngenta Crop Protection AG, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland; 2Ecotox Limited, Tavistock, Devon, UK (Received 31 October 2001; accepted 13 May 2003) A faunistic study investigating the potential side-effects of corn (Zea mays) genetically modified to express a truncated Cry1Ab protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, on non-target arthropods was carried out under field conditions. The communities of non-target arthropods in the soil, on the leaves and flying in the crop area were monitored throughout the growing season. Water-treated, untransformed corn served as a control, and a spray application of a bacterial Bt insecticide (Delfin WG) and a synthetic insecticide (Karate Xpress) used to control the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis; Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) acted as positive reference treatments. Results were analyzed using a principal response curve. Significantly lower infestations by the lepidopteran target species O. nubilalis were observed in the Bt-corn plots compared to the control. No effects of Bt-corn on the communities of soil dwelling and non-target plant dwelling arthropods were observed. A trend towards a community effect on flying arthropods was observed with lower abundance of adult Lepidoptera, flies in the families Lonchopteridae, Mycetophilidae and Syrphidae, and the hymenopteran parasitoids Ceraphronidae. Effects were weak and restricted to two sampling dates corresponding to anthesis.

In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well.
