New data on Pyraloidea and Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) rare species distribution basing on materials from Rostov Region (Russia)

Abstract

The limits of species ranges for 11 rare pyraloids: Parapoynx affinialis (Guenée, 1854), Tegostoma comparalis (Hübner, 1796), Aeschremon disparalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851), Anthophilopsis moeschleri (Christoph, 1862), Epascestria pustulalis (Hübner, [1823]), Achyra ustrinalis (Christoph, 1877), Anania ochrofascialis (Christoph, 1882), Ostrinia peregrinalis (Eversmann, 1852), Ematheudes punctella (Treitschke, 1833), Ephestia parasitella Staudinger, 1859, Eurhodope rosella (Scopoli, 1763) and 3 noctuid moths species: Phidrimana amurensis (Staudinger, 1892), Callistege fortalitium (Tauscher, 1809), Simplicia rectalis (Eversmann, 1842) are defined basing on the material collected in Rostov Region (Russia) during 2010–2013 by the light-trapping. The Similar Ringed China-mark Parapoynx affinialis is noted for fauna of Russia for the first time. Nine species were found in the Don River basin for the first time. The regional maps with collecting sites for each of 14 species are given. In Rostov Region, the northern or northeastern borders of geographic ranges are established for T. comparalis, A. disparalis, E. pustulalis, A. ustrinalis, E. punctella, E. parasitella, E. rosella, and O. peregrinalis; the western borders, for P. amurensis and C. fortalitium; the north-western borders, for P. affinialis, A. moeschleri, and A. ochrofascialis; the southern border of easterneuropean part of range for Simplicia rectalis.
