Budapest 1983 ANNALES HISTORICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Torrms 75. Budapest, 1983 p. 229-246. Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) from Mongolia. Noctuidae Quadrifinae* by L. RONKAY, Budapest Abstract — Present paper contains records of 56 species, with descriptions of two new subs pecies, Drasteria pulverosa intermedia ssp. n. and Anumeta fractistrigata mongolica ssp. n. Further nine species are new to the fauna of Mongolia. With 24 figures and 2 photoplates. The following annotated list consists of data of Noctuidae Quadrifinae collected by DR. Z. KASZAB in Mongolia on his third to sixth expeditions. The material of the first and second expeditions was identified and published by SHELJUZHKO (1967). From the material of the third to sixth expeditions treated already by some specialists, notably DUFAY (1971) and WILTSHIRE (1969a) published new taxa from Mongolia. The greater part of the remai­ ning material was studied by SHELJUZHKO and KOVÁCS in the same years. The list presented here contains data of unpublished material deposited in Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, the species, published in the previous articles were included in this list only if they provided new data. So the list contains 56 species with descriptions of two new sub­ species, 9 other species being new to the Mongolian fauna; the genital apparates of some species are illustrated for the first time. The collecting localities with characterisation of illus­ trated for the first time. The collecting localities with characterisation of the habitats are given by DR. Z. KASZAB (1963-1968).

The species occurs from Europe and North Africa to Korea and N-China, with a wid e distri­ bution in Central and East Asia, it has not been reported from Mongolia. The taxonomic rank o f this subspecies is dubious because the species has a large individual variability.

The material from Mongolia is very similar to ssp. decolorata WAGNER, 1913, but uniformly smaller, so it is not impossible that they represent a distinct subspecies.

The taxonomic position of the species was clarified up by BOURSIN. New for the fauna of Mongolia, the structure of male genitalia is shown on the Fig. 1.

  • Lärchenwälder Und Kräuterreiche Wiesensteppen Der Lichten Taiga-Zone in Der Nördlichen Mongolei
    Lärchenwälder und kräuterreiche Wiesensteppen der lichten Taiga-Zone in der nördlichen Mongolei Im mongolischen Altai befinden sich trotz der jahrtausendelangen Beweidung noch immer ausgedehnte Lärchenwälder. Sie sind auf den Südhängen auch im natürlichen Zustande sehr lichte Bestände, wobei man kaum eine Grenze zwischen Wald und Wiesensteppe ziehen kann. Nach dem Kahlschlag des Waldes, infolge der extensiven Beweidung können sich die Wiesensteppen als Dauergesellschaften ausbilden und stabilisiereren, aber nach dem Einstellen der Beweidung kann sich der Wald jederzeit regenerieren. Die Lärchenwälder lassen sich in mehrere Typen einteilen (vgl. HILBIG 1990). Als am meisten taigaähnlich gelten die Bestände mit einem größtenteils immergrünen Vaccinium vitis-idaea-Empetrum sibiricum–Linnaea borealis–Pyrola incarnata-Unterwuchs und mit Pinus sibirica-Bestand in der Kronenschicht. Die Lärchen-Gebirgswälder mit üppiger Strauchschicht sind schon mehr lockere, aber noch ziemlich frische Bestände, hier sind z.B. die Sträucher Dasyphora fruticosa, Lonicera altaica, Ribes rubrum, Spiraea media dominant, ebenfalls fast ohne Steppenelemente im Unterwuchs. Am artenreichsten sind aber die staudenreichen, einer Parklandschaft ähnlichen Geranium pseudosibiricum-Lärchenwälder, bei denen die artenreiche Krautschicht durch die hohen Stauden bestimmt wird, wie z.B. Aconitum barbatum, A. turczaninovii, A. septentrionale, Aquilegia sibirica, Cacalia hastata, Campanula glomerata, Delphinium elatum, Dianthus superbus, Ligularia sibirica, Pedicularis oederi, Polemonium

  • Zoogeography of the Holarctic Species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): Importance of the Bering Ian Refuge
    © Entomologica Fennica. 8.XI.l991 Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Bering ian refuge Kauri Mikkola, J, D. Lafontaine & V. S. Kononenko Mikkola, K., Lafontaine, J.D. & Kononenko, V. S. 1991 : Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Beringian refuge. - En to mol. Fennica 2: 157- 173. As a result of published and unpublished revisionary work, literature compi­ lation and expeditions to the Beringian area, 98 species of the Noctuidae are listed as Holarctic and grouped according to their taxonomic and distributional history. Of the 44 species considered to be "naturall y" Holarctic before this study, 27 (61 %) are confirmed as Holarctic; 16 species are added on account of range extensions and 29 because of changes in their taxonomic status; 17 taxa are deleted from the Holarctic list. This brings the total of the group to 72 species. Thirteen species are considered to be introduced by man from Europe, a further eight to have been transported by man in the subtropical areas, and five migrant species, three of them of Neotropical origin, may have been assisted by man. The m~jority of the "naturally" Holarctic species are associated with tundra habitats. The species of dry tundra are frequently endemic to Beringia. In the taiga zone, most Holarctic connections consist of Palaearctic/ Nearctic species pairs. The proportion ofHolarctic species decreases from 100 % in the High Arctic to between 40 and 75 % in Beringia and the northern taiga zone, and from between 10 and 20 % in Newfoundland and Finland to between 2 and 4 % in southern Ontario, Central Europe, Spain and Primorye.

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

  • Tracking List
    Tracked Taxa List: Current as of Invertebrates 2021-May-17 This list contains the tracked invertebrate animal taxa known by the Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre (SKCDC) to occur within Saskatchewan, as of the date provided above. If you notice any errors or omissions, please contact [email protected]. For more information about how the SKCDC generates these lists and what determines when a species is tracked by the SKCDC, visit: http://biodiversity.sk.ca/lists.htm Conservation ranks/status are provided for each species. For details on each, refer to the following resources: ◦ Subnational (S), National (N) and Global (G) Ranks: www.biodiversity.sk.ca/ranking.htm ◦ Government of Saskatchewan Wild Species at Risk Regulations: https://publications.saskatchewan.ca/#/products/1609 ◦ COSEWIC: https://www.cosewic.ca/index.php ◦ SARA; Government of Canada Species at Risk public registry: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry.html SYNONYMS: This list is being provided by the SKCDC as a tool to facilitate users in determining the current, accepted taxonomy. If a name is currently out of use in Saskatchewan, it’s current synonym is provided, indented in the line below the accepted name. In this row, we are unable to distinguish between true synonyms and misapplied names used as synonyms. For example, Cryptantha fendleri is an accepted name for a vascular plant that is currently found in Saskatchewan. This name, however, has also been misapplied to both Cryptantha kelseyana and Cryptantha minima in the past. Therefore, it appears as a synonym to those two species.
