Two new species and two new subspecies: Catopta albonubila argunica, ssp. n. (Locus typicus: East Trasbaicalia, Kuenga, 45 km SW. Sretensk), Catopta perunovi, sp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia, Altai Rep., near Ongudai), Cossus cossus dauricus, ssp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia Transbaikalia, Chita Province, Nizhnii Tsasutchei), Phragmataecia pacifica, sp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia, Dagestan, 5 km E. Urma) are described. Besides, a new species from S. Mongolia Catopta saldaitisi, sp. n. (Locus typicus: S. Mongolia, Omnogovi Aimak, the Gobi Altai Mts., Gurvan Sayhan) is described. For each species bibliography and distribution map are given. Проводимая в последние годы работа по исследованию древоточцев (Сossidae) Евразии при- вела к описанию ряда новых таксонов с территории Палеарктики, позволила установить грани- цы распространения многих видов. В данной работе делается попытка представить полный ка- талог древоточцев России, выполненный как на основании анализа литературных данных, так и на большом фактическом материале. Исследованный материал хранится в ряде коллекций Рос- сии, Украины, Германии, Австрии. Приведен аннотированный список видов, включающий дан- ные о первичном описании, синонимии, месте хранения типового материала и распростране- нии. Для редких и малоизвестных видов и для новых таксонов приводятся полные данные эти- кеток. Для каждого вида приведена карта распространения на территории России.

Revised: 06 January 2018; Accepted: 23 February 2018 Abstract: Morphological variability among four species of Mycalesis in Sri Lanka that are difficult to discriminate INTRODUCTION due to their morphological similarity was investigated to identify characters that distinguish species more accurately. Many species of butterflies share close similarities Using traditional morphometrics, 90 variables from the wing, which, coupled with individual variation and phenotypic forelegs and genitalia of M. perseus typhlus, M. mineus plasticity, make identification difficult (Ormiston, 1924; polydecta, M. subdita and M. rama were measured and Woodhouse, 1949). Identification keys use objective analysed. A set of 19 characters of the wing, male genitalia and clearly observable differences as well as minute and forelegs were identified to discriminate species. Results of differences to distinguish between taxa (Bingham, 1905; the analysis showed that male specimens were discriminated 1907; Talbot, 1939; 1947). They also commonly use with nine wing characters and five characters of genitalia. objective characters such as ‘purplish-white’ or ‘infused Females could be discriminated with three wing characters with purple’ to describe the appearance of the wing and two foreleg characters.

It is therefore not surprising that approaching 100 additional species were discovered in the Karaganda Oblast during collecting in 1997, 2001 and 2002. During two days of collecting west of the Balkash Lake in May 1997, nine species were identified. On the steppes in the Kazakh Highland, 30 to 130 km south of Karaganda, about 50 butterflies were identified in 2001 and 2002, while in the Karkaralinsk forest, 200 km east of Karaganda, about 70 were encountered. Many of these insects are also to be found in western Europe and almost all of those noted at Karkaralinsk and on the steppes occur in South-Western Siberia. Observations revealed Zegris eupheme to be penetrating the area from the west and Chazara heydenreichi from the south. However, on the western side of Balkash Lake the picture ap­ peared to change. Many of the butterflies found here in 1997 - Parnassius apollonius, Zegris pyrothoe, Polyommatus miris, Plebeius christophi and Lyela myops - mainly came from the south, these belonging to the semi-desert and steppe fauna of Southern Kazakstan.

First, a phylogeographical approach was used to understand the lineage diversity and phylogeographic pattern as well as demographic history of the butterfly. Second, a landmark-based geometric morphometric approach was used to examine morphological variations within and among the genetic lineages inferred by genetic data. In the phylogeographic study, sequences of three mitochondrial genes (COI, Cyt b and ND5) and two nuclear genes (Rpl5 and Ldh) were used. Phylogenetic trees and the median- joining network revealed six evolutionary mitochondrial haplotype clades corresponding to geographic distribution of the species, including two clades from central Honshu, one clade from western Honshu and Shikoku, two clades from Kyushu and one clade from Tsushima Island.

The Palaearctic frontier was delimited to the Arabian Peninsula (the eastern and northern parts of Arabia are attributed to the Palaearctic Region; Yemen, southwestern Saudi Arabia, and southernmost Iran belong to the Afro- tropical Region). Cossidae are highly endemic to arid areas. Some Palaearctic carpenter-moth genera penetrate to Africa southward of the Sahara Desert (an important characteristic distinguishing them from most of the other Lepidoptera). The local faunas of the Palaearctic deserts are united into 4 groups: the Sahara–Arabian–Southern- Iranian, Central-Asian–Kazakhstanian, Western-Gobian, and Eastern-Gobian. In the Eastern Gobi Desert, the fauna is the most specific; it should be considered as a separate zoogeographical subregion.

Rudoj Altai State University, Lenina 61, Barnaul, RU–656049, Russia Synopsis new records of Pieridae, nymphalidae and lycaenidae are reported for Western mongolia (Hovd and Govi-altai aimaks). Key words: Pieridae, nymphalidae, lycaenidae, mongolian altai, fauna Introduction Butterflies of Western mongolia have been studied previously in detail by korshunov & Soljanikov (1976) and korshunov (1977). in recent years, the butterfly fauna has been summarised in series of works with our participation by tshikolovets et al., 2009 and Yakovlev (2012). Some additions were published later by krupitsky & Yakovlev (2012) and Yakovlev & Černila (2012). during our last expeditions to Western mongolia several previously unrecorded species of butterfly were found and are reported here. all the specimens are deposited in the private collection of the first author.

    Foliage Insect Diversity in Dry Eucalypt Forests in Eastern Tasmania

    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 136, 2002 17 FOLIAGE INSECT DIVERSITY IN DRY EUCALYPT FORESTS IN EASTERN TASMANIA by H.J. Elliott, R. Bashford, S.J. Jarman and M.G. Neyland (with four tables, one text-figure and two appendices) ELLIOTT, H.]., BASHFORD, R., JARMAN,S.]' & NEYLAND, M.G., 2002 (3l:xii): Foliage insect diversity in dry eucalypt forests in eastern Tasmania. Papers and Proceedings ofthe Royal Society afTasmania 136: 17-34. ISSN 0080-4703. Forestry Tasmania, 79 Melville St., Hobart, Tasmania 7000, Australia. Species numbers and composition of the insect fauna occurring on trees and shrubs were studied in dry eucalypt forests in eastern Tasmania over nine years. In all, 1164 named and putative species representing 17 orders and 157 families were collected. The bulk of the species belonged to the orders Coleoptera (28%), Hymenoptera (25%), Hemiptera (18%), Lepidoptera (14%) and Diptera (10%). Of the species collected, 388 -- about one-third -- were identified at least to genus or species level. These included 21 named species not previously listed in the Tasmanian insect fauna and 90 undescribed species. A list of 22 host plants for 171 insect species was compiled from records of 132 insect species observed feeding during the study and from previous records ofinsect/host plant associations for 39 insect species found on the study plots. Most insects were feeding on eucalypts (127 insect species) and acacias (38 species). The most widely distributed and commonly collected species were several well-known pests ofeucalypts: Gonipterus scutellatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Uraba lugens (Lepidoptera: N octuidae), Amorbus obscuricornis (Hemiptera: Coreidae), Chaetophyes compacta (Hemiptera: Machaerotidae) and Eriococcus coriaceous(Hemiptera: Eriococcidae).

Pešić: 12 April 2019 │ Published online 15 April 2019. Abstract The article gives description of two species of Carpenter-Moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) new to science, Brachylia fibigeri sp. nov. from Yemen (Sana’a Province) and Mirocossus pittawayi sp. n. from Saudi Arabia (Asir Province). Both new species belong to the genera new to the fauna of the Arabian Peninsula, previously indicated only in Africa. Key words: Carpenter moths, fauna, taxonomy, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Brachylia, Mirocossus. Introduction Cossidae (Lepidoptera) of the Arabian Peninsula are studied relatively well. There is a series of publications about the fauna and taxonomy of this family in Saudia Arabia (Wiltshire 1982, 1990), United Arab Emirates (Legrain & Wiltshire 1998) and Yemen (Hacker et al. 1999, 2001; Borth et al. 2011). All the faunal data are united in extensive monographs of the recent years on Lepidoptera of Arabia (Hacker 1999, 2016). It is known that in the south of the Arabian Peninsula there is a significant percentage of Lepidoptera taxa of African origin (Yakovlev & Dubatolov 2013; Hacker 2016). Some of them were described by us (Yakovlev 2009, 2014; Yakovlev et al.
