Abstract Lepidoptera family of the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve has not been adequately studied yet. This research was carried out in order to determine the composition of Lepidoptera family of the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve. The Noctuoidea group is a major species included in the Lepidoptera species. The research materials were collected in four refuges (Beruni, , Sultan, Amudarya) from March 2017 to November 2018. A list of species has been compiled in this region for two years. The obtained results show that in the studied area, 1,000 types of moths were collected. It was found out that they belong to the Noctuoidea family. DRL lamp handles were used for catching the moths. Red wine and sugar solutions were also used to attract .

The best results were obtained by dried apple slices instead of The maximum exposure of moth-butterflies to light is cloth base, wrapping 10-15 pieces in each capron thread and observed in a calm, warm, cloudy and foggy night.

In some cases, the eggs that female moth butterflies put in the (Hermetically sealed glass bottle with 0.2-0.6 l of chloroform) wild have been harvested for the study of embryonic and After the moth butterflies are stopped, they are placed in a postembranial stages and the larvae emerged from them. We paper bag. We have a reclaimed DRL lamp trap with a used soil excavations in accordance with the method described container at the bottom, and the moth butterflies are collected in the literature to find pupa (Klyuchko, 1963). The in a chloroform wrapped gauze themselves (Figure 3). classification of plant communities proposed in the specialized literature was used to characterize the collected biotopes From this trap, moths are periodically collected and a fresh (Sautin, Raiko, 1963). chloroform gauze is put. The collected material was processed for collection (for monitoring). In addition, a 2-meter white In the fixation of the worms, we used 70% ethanol or salicylic gauze (2x2m) and Pencilville-type light traps were also used in acid alcohol solution proposed by O.I.Merjeevskaya in 1965. light-free (non-light) places (Gornostev, 1984), Philip Actinic B.A.Starets method was used to record the time and place of BL 8W low-pressure tube feeder converted from 12-volt lead- capturing the moths (Gornostaev, 1970) and to increase the acid batteries and mercury fluorescent lamps were used as number of moths in the laboratory setting.

Data Analysis RESULTS AND DISCUSSION As a result of the analysis, we used effective methods of The reservoir specimens were compiled by the date and materials (Kuzyakin, Mazin, 1986), we also used the method of quantity of Lepidoptera species identified and exposed to counting moth butterflies according to the time (one hour per light. From March, 2017 to November 2018 observations biotope). In the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve, we were made to collect the moth butterflies that attracted to can conclude that the most of the species of thicket butterfly the natural light and other sources of light. As a result, in the fauna feed on forage. There are areas where the complex is reservoirs 92 Lepidoptera species of the Noctuoidea family exposed to harmful, mass reproduction, but there some was identified and their list and number of refugiums are species may be more. The study of the biology and ecology of shown in Table 1. these species requires further study.

Our observations have shown that the number of moth CONCLUSION butterflies in each refugium is one of the main factors that As a result of the conducted work, the taxonomic and bio- depends on the number of species in the area. In particular, geographical composition of moth butterflies was several larvae of the species, such as Catocala puerpera revealed. From the abovementioned, we can conclude (Giorna, 1791), Catocala neonympha (Esper, 1805) have been that there were identified 92 species of moths of 44 genus identified to feed populus species. In which refigium there is of 12 subfamilies in the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere the species of Olivier, Populus pruinosa Reserve. The diversity of these species is due to the fact Schrenk, Populus heterophylla L, there can be found these that they are located in four refugium northeast of the species.
