New and interesting records of Lepidoptera from the southern Amur Region, Russia (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

Nuevos e interesantes registros de Lepidoptera del sur de la Región de Amur, Rusia (Insecta: Lepidoptera)

Introduction

The Southern Amur Region is located in the south of the Russian Far East in the southern part of the Amur River basin on the territory of three administrative regions: the Amur Oblast’, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast’ and the Khabarovsk Krai. The study area is completely located in the zone of subboreal broad-leaved and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forests, characterized by a high level of biodiversity. Together with Primorye (the Primorsky Krai), the Southern Amur Region is the richest region for biota in the mainland of the Russian Far East (RICHTER, 1961).

Currently, the fauna of different groups of Macroheterocera in certain areas of the Southern Amur Region, especially in the vicinity of Khabarovsk, is well studied (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2007, 2009, 2010; DUBATOLOV et al., 2012, 2013, 2014; KOSHKIN & NOVOMODNYI, 2008; KOSHKIN, 2009, 2014; DUBATOLOV, 2015a; and so on). Later, these data were used in the preparation of the Catalogs of Lepidoptera of the Russian Far East and Russia (BELJAEV et al., 2016; SINEV, 2019).

However, new data on the distribution of Lepidoptera have recently been obtained, which are explained as the insufficient knowledge of the fauna of certain areas of the Amur River basin, and the dynamics of ranges of some species, including those related to climate changes. This paper provides information on new records of some rare species from different families of Lepidoptera from some areas of the Southern Amur Region, especially from Bikin District (the Khabarovsk Krai).

Moth’s specimens were collected mainly at night using light traps (including automatic) with 250-watt mercury-tungsten lamp and LepiLed UV lamp. All material presented in paper is collected by the author, unless otherwise indicated, and deposited in the collection of the author (Russia, Khabarovsk).

NOTODONTIDAE

Stauropus basalis Moore, 1877 (Figs 10, 11)

Material: 1 ♂, 7-VI-2010, Ekaterino-Nikol’skoe; 2 ♂♂, 8-9-VI-2010, Soyuznoe; 3 last instar larvae on Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. (Fabaceae), 22-IX-2020, Solntsepek.

Remarks: This species is first recorded in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast’. New finds are the northernmost within the species range. The appearance of larva and pupa is shown in figures 10-11. The pupa is the overwintering stage.

Hupodonta corticalis Butler, 1877

Material: 3 ♂♂, 1 ♀, 27-31-VII-2011, Durmin.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, the Primorsky Krai; Japan; Korea; China; Myanmar; Thailand; Vietnam (SCHINTLMEISTER, 2008).

Remarks: Earlier in the Khabarovsk Krai species was found near Khabarovsk only (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2007; DUBATOLOV et al., 2012).

Phalerodonta bombycina (Oberthür, 1880)

Material: 2 ♂♂, 19-23-IX-2020, Shivki; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, 21-IX-2020, Solntsepek.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai; Korea; East China (SCHINTLMEISTER, 2008).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was provided with a single male from the vicinity of Khabarovsk (DUBATOLOV et al., 2013).

Phalera flavescens (Bremer & Grey, 1853)

Material: 1 ♀, 4-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: Bikin District of the Khabarovsk Krai (DUBATOLOV et al., 2013), Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin Island; Japan; Korea; China; Taiwan; Myanmar; Thailand; Laos; Vietnam (SCHINTLMEISTER, 2008).

Remarks: The new record is the second in the Khabarovsk Krai and the northernmost in the species range. Earlier this species was found near Lesopil’noe village (southernmost part of Bikin District). The indication of Ph. flavescens for the Amur Oblast’ (Blagoveshchensk) (SCHINTLMEISTER, 2008) is questioned (DUBATOLOV et al., 2013).

EREBIDAE LYMANTRIINAE

Numenes disparilis Staudinger, 1887

Material: 1 ♀, 5-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai; Japan; Korea; China (BELJAEV et al., 2016).

Remarks: Earlier in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was found in the upper reaches of the Durmin River only (KOSHKIN, 2011).

EREBINAE

Catocala eminens Staudinger, 1892

Material: 1 ♀, 6-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: Khabarovsk Krai (Bikin District, new record), Primorsky Krai; Korea; China (KONONENKO, 2010).

Remarks: A first record for the Khabarovsk Krai and the northernmost locality within the species range. It is probably mistakenly written in Kononenko’s book (KONONENKO, 2010) that C. eminens inhabits the south of the Khabarovsk Krai and the Primorsky Krai in Russia. At the same time, map 235 in the same book shows the distribution of this species only in the south of Primorsky Krai (northward to Khanka Lake). In later books, where the sections about Noctuoidea were written by Kononenko, only the south of Primorsky Krai is included in the range of C. eminens in Russia (BELJAEV et al., 2016; SINEV, 2019).

Catocala actaea Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874

Material: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, 7-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai; Japan; Korea; China (KONONENKO, 2010).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was provided with three specimens from the Bolshekhekhtsirsky and Botchinsky Nature Reserves (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2009, 2010; DUBATOLOV, 2015b).

Catocala nivea Butler, 1877

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai; Japan; Korea; China (including Taiwan); North India (Sikkim); Nepal (KONONENKO, 2010).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this rare species was provided with single specimens from the vicinities of Khabarovsk and Bikin (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2009).

TOXOCAMPINAE

Lygephila lupina (Graeser, 1890) (Fig. 2)

Material: 1 ♂, 3-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution. Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai (DUBATOLOV et al., 2012), Primorsky Krai; China (PEKARSKY, 2016).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was indicated as L. mirabilis (Bryk, 1948) from the vicinity of Khabarovsk (DUBATOLOV et al., 2012). L. mirabilis was synonymized with L. lupina by PEKARSKY (2016).

NOCTUIDAE

Mimeusemia persimilis Butler, 1875 (Figs 12, 13)

Material: 1 ♂, ex pupa: 12-I-2012, Durmin.

Distribution: Russia: southern parts of the Amur Oblast’ (KOSHKIN & BEZBORODOV, 2009) and the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, South Kuriles (Kunashir); Japan; Korea; China (including Taiwan) (KONONENKO, 2010; BELJAEV et al., 2016).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was provided with two males from the vicinities of Khabarovsk (NOVOMODNY, 2000; DUBATOLOV et al., 2014). According to my observations in the basin of the upper reaches of the Durmin River, host plant of larvae is Vitis amurensis Rupr. (Vitaceae). The appearance of larva and pupa is shown in figures 12-13. Pupation takes place on the ground. The pupa is the overwintering stage.

Teratoglaea pacifica Sugi, 1958 (Fig. 3)

Material: 1 ♂, 17-IX-2017, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, South Sakhalin; Japan; Korea; China (KONONENKO, 2016; TITOVA, 2018).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this rare species was found in the Bolshekhekhtsirsky and Botchinsky Nature Reserves (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2009; DUBATOLOV, 2015b).

Xylena formosa (Butler, 1878) (Figs 4, 14)

Material: 1 ♂, 18-IX-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: Khabarovsk Krai; Japan; Korea; China (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2009; KONONENKO, 2016).

Remarks: The second record on the territory of Russia and the Khabarovsk Krai. Previously this very rare species was found in vicinity of Khabarovsk only (DUBATOLOV & DOLGIKH, 2009). The appearance of X. formosa is extremely similar to X. confusa Kononenko & Ronkay, 1998, but differs well from it by the structure of the male genitalia (Fig. 14).

Amphipyra jankowskii Oberthür, 1884 (Fig. 5)

Material: 2 ♂ ♂, 3-7-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai; Korea; China (KONONENKO, 2016).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was found near Khabarovsk only (DUBATOLOV et al., 2013).

Diarsia ruficauda (Warren, 1909) (Fig. 6)

Material: 1 ♂, 6-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: Russia: southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, Kuril Islands (Kunashir); Japan; Korea; China (BELJAEV et al., 2016; RYBALKIN, 2020).

Remarks: Previously in the Khabarovsk Krai this species was found near Khabarovsk only (DUBATOLOV, 2015a).

NOLIDAE

Siglophora sanguinolenta (Moore, 1888) (Figs 7, 8, 15)

Material: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, 5-7-VIII-2020, Shivki.

Distribution: North India, Nepal, Korea (North and South), China (including Taiwan), Philippines (KONONENKO et al., 1998).

Remarks: Genus and species provided for the territory of Russia for the first time. Previously the northernmost location in the species range was known to be in the vicinity of Wonsan City (southern part of North Korea) (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES OF KOREA, 2020). The identification of the species was confirmed by the appearance and genitalic structures (Figs 7, 8, 15) (KONONENKO & HAN, 2007). The number of collected specimens, their good condition, and the growth of the host plant (Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb.) (SOHN et al., 2017: 498) suggest the naturalization of S. sanguinolenta in the south of the Russian Far East.

GEOMETRIDAE

Acrodontis kotshubeji Sheljuzhko, 1944 (Fig. 9)

Material: 2 ♂♂, 18-IX-2020, 9-X-2020, Shivki; 1 ♂, 21-IX-2020, Solntsepek.

Distribution: Russia: Khabarovsk Krai (Bikin District, new record), southern part of the Primorsky Krai; Japan, Korea (BELJAEV et al., 2016; SINEV, 2019).

Remarks: The first record for the Khabarovsk Krai and the northernmost locality within the species range.
