The photos of female adult and genitalia are provided. Key words: many-plumed moth, fauna, new data, Russian Far East. Introduction Pterotopteryx spilodesma is a widely spread many-plumed moth species, described from north-eastern India, state Assam (Meyrick, 1908), also known from China (Taiwan), Japan, Korea, Philippines (Byun, 2006). For Russia, it was previously given erroneously, from the Sakhalin Island (Dubatolov, Ustjuzhanin, 1991; Ustjuzhanin, 1999). In the annotated catalogue of Insects of the Russian Far East, in addition to Primorsky Krai, P. spilodesma was also reported from Sakhalin, but in doubt (Ustjuzhanin, Kovtunovich, 2016). One female of P. spilodesma has been collected in the vicinity of Kholmsk City (Sakhalin Island) in 2017 by first author. The study of the genital preparation confirmed its species affiliation. The Wild МБР-1 microscope and Canon DS126291 camera were used to prepare images. Results Pterotopteryx spilodesma (Meyrick, 1908) Figs 1, 2 Orneodes spilodesma Meyrick, 1908: 508.

Ecologica Montenegrina, 28, 2020, 23-25 FIRST RELIABLE RECORD OF MANY-PLUMED MOTH PTEROTOPTERYX SPILODESMA ON SAKHALIN ISLAND Material examined. Russia: Sakhalin Island, vicinity of Kholmsk, 47.028 N, 142.037 E, at light trap, 25.IX 2017, 1 ♀, leg. О.L. Titova Distribution. India (Assam), Philippines, China (Taiwan), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tanegashima, Yakushima); Russia (Southern Primorye, Southern Sakhalin, Shikotan Island). Remarks. The caterpillars live on the Lonicera L. (Caprifoliaceae), there are at least five species of them on Sakhalin (Voroshilov, 1982); in Japan they feed on L. japonica Thunb. (Inoue, 1982). On Sakhalin there are two Alucitidae species, one of them is more common: Pterotopteryx eumorphodactyla (Caradja, 1920) and the other is more rare, currently known only by one specimen from south-western coast of the island, Pterotopteryx spilodesma (Meyrick, 1908).

    EXPLORATION Multi-client seismic spurs interest The Northeast Sakhalin Shelf,with several giant fields already discovered and put on production,is recognised as a world-class petroleum province.New seismic acquired in the rest of the Sea of Okhotsk indicate that there is more to be found. Dalmorneftegeofizica Courtesy of TGS has acquired a huge seismic data base covering almost the entire Sea of Okhotsk. New, modern data is now made available through a cooperati- on with TGS Nopec. Photo: Erling Frantzen Courtesy of TGS BP/Rosneft Pela Lache OKHA SAKHALIN Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk The Sea of Okhotsk is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East. It is the northwest arm of the Pacific Ocean covering an area of 1,528,000 sq km, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaido belonging to Japan to the far south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coastline along the west and north. Most of the Sea of Okhotsk, except for the area around the Kuril Islands, is frozen during from November to June and has frequent heavy fogs. In the summer, the icebergs melt and the sea becomes navigable again. The sea is generally less than 1,500m deep; its deepest point, near the Kuriles, is 3,363 m. Fishing and crab- bing are carried on off W Kamchatka peninsula. The DMNG/TGS Seismic acquired in 1998, 2004 and 2005 is shown in green, blue and red colours. Note also the location of Okha where oil seeps were found 125 years ago.

    Contributions Toward a Lepidoptera (Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, Thyrididae, Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, & Noctuoidea) Biodiversity Inventory of the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab Hugo L. Kons Jr. Last Update: June 2001 Abstract A systematic check list of 489 species of Lepidoptera collected in the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab is presented, including 464 species in the superfamilies Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, and Noctuoidea. Taxa recorded in Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, and Thyrididae are also included. Moth taxa were collected at ultraviolet lights, bait, introduced Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), and by netting specimens. A list of taxa recorded feeding on P. notatum is presented. Introduction The University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) contains 40 acres of natural habitats maintained for scientific research, conservation, and teaching purposes. Habitat types present include hammock, upland pine, disturbed open field, cat tail marsh, and shallow pond. An active management plan has been developed for this area, including prescribed burning to restore the upland pine community and establishment of plots to study succession (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/natl.htm). The site is a popular collecting locality for student and scientific collections. The author has done extensive collecting and field work at NATL, and two previous reports have resulted from this work, including: a biodiversity inventory of the butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea & Papilionoidea) of NATL (Kons 1999), and an ecological study of Hermeuptychia hermes (F.) and Megisto cymela (Cram.) in NATL habitats (Kons 1998). Other workers have posted NATL check lists for Ichneumonidae, Sphecidae, Tettigoniidae, and Gryllidae (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/insect.htm).

  • RUSSIA: Local Restrictions on Mission in Sakhalin Region
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 1 June 2004 RUSSIA: Local restrictions on mission in Sakhalin region By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Local religious believers in Sakhalin region sometimes face state restrictions on sharing their faith, Forum 18 News Service has found. Pentecostals have been banned from showing the 'Jesus Film', and have also encountered local state bans on open-air evangelism, whilst the Jehovah's Witnesses have faced obstacles in distributing their literature. One official told Forum 18 that unregistered religious groups "can meet in private flats but not attract other people or disturb those around them." State restrictions on sharing a person's faith are sometimes keenly felt by local believers in the Far Eastern Russian region of Sakhalin, Forum 18 News Service has found. However, these restrictions are not so strict as those imposed on foreigners (see F18News 16 June http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=342). In January 2004, members of Sakhalin's regional Pentecostal union were forbidden from showing the Jesus Film on the Kurile island of Iturup (some 300km from the Russian border with northern Japan), according to the union's bishop, Petr Yarmolyuk. The Pentecostals had already advertised the screening, which was to be held at the main town's house of culture, Yarmolyuk explained to Forum 18 in the regional capital, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on 24 April.

  • Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment Public
    Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment Public Meetings Report Sakhalin Island, 2 October – 27 November 2003 One of the Company's key responsibilities is to conduct its business as a responsible corporate member of the society in which it operates. This principle lies at the heart of Sakhalin Energy's approach to public consultation. Objectives In line with the shareholders’ standards and World Bank/IFC guidelines the Company has completed an international-style Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) in order to address aspects of impact assessment that are not fully covered by the TEOC EIAas they are not strictly required under Russian legislation. In line with these requirements the Company has conducted public consultations. Aim of Public Meetings • Provide effective mechanisms for open consultation and feedback on previously identified issues and the Company's proposed mitigation and management measures; • Create conditions where emerging issues of concern to the community and other stakeholders are brought to the Company's attention in a timely manner, and are appropriately addressed if possible; • Meet the Company's own standards. Stakeholders for Public Meetings • Directly affected communities1; • Other communities on Sakhalin Island and • Governmental authorities (regional and district); • Community organisations; • Non-governmental organisations (local, regional); • Media (local, regional, national, international); • Sakhalin Energy employees and contractors; Process Consultation efforts on the ESHIA occurred in three phases from the release date of the ESHIA: 1 Affected community is defined for the purpose of ESHIA consultation to be limited to communities where a camp or laydown yard is located, those that have not previously been visited but due to changes in location of camp, laydown or pipeline route need to be or where the Company has new or different information that may be material to that community.
