Summary: 96 species of belonging to 10 families (, Yponomeutidae, , , , , , , Choreutidae, ) are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna. 78 species are recorded from the region in addition to E versm ann’s list (1844). Two new synonymies are established: bjerkandella (T hunberg, 1784) = Choreutes Pullitlalis E versm ann, 1844, syn. nov., and 11 alsinghami C ara dja , 1920, =Zarcinia melanocestas M e y r ic k , 1935, syn. nov. Galactica pluripimctella C aradja, 1920, was previously considered here in the rank of a separate species.

Zusdammenfassung: Für die jetzige Nachtfalterfauna des Volgo-Ural gebiets werden 96 Arten von 10 Familien (Epermeniidae, Yponomeutidae, Argyresthiidae, Ypsolophidae, Plutellidae, Acrolepiidae, Lyonetiidae, Glyphipterigidae, Choreutidae, Galacticidae) aufgelistet.Davon sind 78 Arten nicht in der Liste von E versm an n’s (1844)aus der gleichen Region enthalten. Es ergeben sich zwei neue Synonyma: Tebenna bjerkandella (T hu n berg, 1784) = Choreutes Pullitlalis E versm ann, 1844, syn. nov. und Galactica walsinghami C a rad ja , 1920, =Zarcinia melanocestas M e y r ic k , 1935, syn. nov. Bereits zuvor wurde in dieser Zeitschrift Galactica pluripimctella C a r a d ja , 1920 im Artrang geführt.

Introduction: This paper is the eleventh in a series of publications', dealing with the composition of the presentrday fauna of the Epermenioidea, Yponomeutoidea, Choreutoidea and Galacticidae supposedly attributed to in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This region comprises the administrative divisions of Astrakhan-, Volgograd-, Saratov- , Samara-, Uljanovsk-, Orenburg-, Uralsk- and Atyraus-(=Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bashkiria. As was accepted in previous parts of this series, only material reliably labelled and spanning the last 25 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V. A n ikin (Saratov and Astrakhan Distr. and Kalmyk Republic), S. Sachkov (Samara Distr.) and V. Z olotuhin (Uljanovsk and Astrakhan Distr.). All the data from the XIX and early XX Centuries was taken into account but only as a reference (R eb el, 1901; K ru liko vsky, 1915; Shscherbinovsky, 1919; Polozhentsev, 1941; see also other parts of the cycle). Completing this list we also took advantage of the information from the recent papers on this region (Sachkov 1994, 2004; T rofimova, 2003) and from recent monographs especially taxonomic ones (Bu dashkin, 2003; B udashkin & G a e d ik e, 2005; G ershenson, 1986; M e y , 1994) which were partly critically reviewed and revised. The material in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg and partly of the Moscow State University (under curatorship of E. M. A ntonova) have also been examined for our study. 1 This series was started in Atalanta 24: 89-120 (1993)

457 We owe special thanks to the curator of the Lepidopteran collection at the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Science Dr. S. Yu. S inev (St. Petersburg) for the help in our work with thefunds of the museum. In the text we follow the systems proposed by K uznetzo v & St e ko ln iko v , 2001 and K a rsh o lt & R a zo v sk y, 1996.

For the ease of use, information is given in the form of a table with the basic data of all species mentioned from the Volgo-Ural region. Many localities have been renamed during the last 150 years, the most important ones are listed below:

Uralsk - later Chkalov - now Uralsk Samara - later Kujbyshev - now Samara Simbirsk - now Uljanovsk Sarepta - now Krasnoarmejsk of the Volgograd District Waskuntschatskoi - usually noted as Baskunchak (Astrakhan District) Zarizyn or Tsarizyn - later Stalingrad - now Volgograd.

Note: Spassk, usually interpreted as E versm ann’s estate not far from Orenburg, really might be also a town that disappeared under the Volga’s water during the erection of the hydroelectrostations and the following increasing of waters area. Before that Spassk had been situated in about 82 km ESE Kasan on the left bank of Volga.

As a result, 96 species belonging to 10 families are listed for the modern Volgo-Ural fauna. 78 species are recorded from the region in addition to Eversmann ‘s list o f 1844. At the same time, we can^t affirm that the species compositions of the moths under consideration is completely known now; moreover, we supposed about dozen species will added the list in the nearest future, especially those from desert and semidesert zone of the Lower Volga. Some alterations of the list would be also caused by taxonomic revisions and changes in status of sole taxa.
