Atalanta (August 2000) 31 (1/2):265-292, Würzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 "Fauna lepidopterologica Volgo-Uralensis" 150 years later: changes and additions. Part 2. Bombyces and Sphinges (Insecto, Lepidoptera) by Vasily V. A n ik in , Sergey A . Sac h k o v & V a d im V Z o lo t u h in received 24.II.2000

Summary: 309 belonging to 21 families of Bombyces et Sphinges are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna. 12 species ( Sesia philantiformis, Jordanita tenuicornis, manni, trifolii, Z. occitanica, territa, Amata phegea, Euchampsonia cristata, bucephaloides, Minna christophi, croatica, Hyles nicaea and, prob­ ably, Holoarctia puengeleri) are deleted from the list. They were either erroneously deter­ minated or have disappeared ( Hemaris croatica) since Eversmann 's work. 129 species are recorded for the region in addition to Eversmann 's list.

This paper is the third in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the present- day fauna of the Heterocera of various families, the so-called Bombyces et Sphinges, in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This region comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bashkiria. Two exceptions to the general interpretation of the complex "Bombyces et Spinges" are made in this paper: the Thyrididae are deleted and they will be considered in a following part together with the Pyraloidea and the Pterophoroidea, but the Brachodidae are included and brought together with the Se- sioidea. As was accepted in the first part of the cycle, only material reliably labelled, and cover­ ing the last 20 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V. A nikin (Saratov and Volgograd Districts), S. Sachkov (Samara District) and V. Zolotuhin (Uljanovsk district and southern Tataria). For the same districts we also made use of literature data, i.e. Astrakhan district (Lvovsky, 1971), Bashkiria (Grosser, 1983, 1987) and Uralsk dis­ trict (Ajbasov , 1974; Kuznetsov & M artynova , 1954). All the data from the 19th and early 20th century were taken into account but only as a reference (Becker, 1854-66; C hristoph, 1867, 1868; Gross, 1925; Jakovlev , 1861). Whilst compiling this list we also took advantage of the in­ formation from recent papers on this region (Kumakov & K orshunov , 1979; A nikin , 1990; Sachkov , 1983; Krasnobayev & S achkov , 1990; Sachkov & L yashenko , 1990; Zolotuhin , 1995; Efetov, 1998) and monographs on a fquna of the USSR (Kozhantshikov , 1950, 1956) or the Palaearctic (Obratzsov , 1966; de Freina , 1997), which was in part critically reviewed and re­ vised. The material in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sci­ ences at St. Petersburg, and Kiev Universities was also examined for our study. Also the private collections of A. & V. Isajevs (Uljanovsk), V. Kupayev (Samara) and D. Komarov (Volgograd) could be studied, to whom we express our sincere thanks. We also owe special thanks to the curators of the lepidoptera collections at the institutions listed above - namely to

E. M. A ntonova (M oscow), I. Yu. Kostyuk (Kiev) and A. L. Lvovsky (St.Petersburg) for their help to our work with the museum collections. Special thanks also due to K. A. Efetov (Simferopol), O. G. Gorbunov (M oscow) and A xel Kallies (Berlin) for their valuable advices concerning the , nomenclature and foodplants of and .

In the article we follow those systems that were proposed for Psychidae by Sauter & H aetten - schwiller (1991), with changes; for Zygaenidae by Efetov (1992—) and by N au - mann et al. (1984—Zygaeninae); for Sesiidae by O. Gorbunov (pers. comm.); for by Schintlmeister (1991 [1992]), for other families by de Freina & W itt (1987, 1990), with changes. We consider this variant of the system much more natural than a system which was proposed by different authors in the modern catalogue of european lepidoptera (eds: Razows - ki & K arsholt , 1996). It is that their system was not used here. For the ease of use, information is given in the form of a table, with the principal data on all species mentioned for the Volgo-Ural region. Many localities have been renamed during the last 150 years, the most important ones being listed below: Orenburg - later Chkalov - now Orenburg Samara - later Kuybyshev - now Samara Simbirsk - now Uljanovsk Sarepta - now Krasnoarmeisk of the Volgograd District Waskuntschatskoi - usually noted as Baskunchak (Astrakhan District) Zarizyn orTsarizyn - later Stalingrad - now Volgograd. Note: Spassk, usually interpreted as Eversmann 's estate not far from Orenburg, really might be also a town being flooded under the Volga's water during the erection of hydro-electric power stations and following increasing water levels. Before that Spassk had been situated at about 82 km ESE of Kasan on the left bank of the Volga.

As a result, 309 species belonging to 21 families are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna of Bombyces & Sphinges, 12 species (Sesia philantiformis, Jordanita tenuicornis, Adscita manni, Zygaena trifolii, Zygaena occitanica, Phragmataecia territa, Amata phegea, Euchampsonia cristata, Phalera bucephaloides, Minna christophi, Piemans croatica, Hyles nicaea and, prob­ ably, Holoarctia puengeleri) are deleted from the list. They were either erroneously determi­ nated or have disappeared ( Piemans croatica) since Eversmann 's work. However, 129 species are recorded for the region in addition to Eversmann 's list. So, we can suppose that the species compositions of the moths under this study is almost completely known and all further alter­ ations of the list would be caused by taxonomic revisions and changes in status of some taxa.
