Additions to the Catalogue of Lepidoptera of Omsk Region of Russia. Part 2: Eupithecia Curtis, 1825 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

Adiciones al catálogo de Lepidoptera de la Región de Omsk de Rusia. Parte 2: Eupithecia Curtis, 1825 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

Introduction

The catalogue of Lepidoptera of Omsk region (KNYAZEV, 2020) included 972 species of Macrolepidoptera. In the first addition (KNYAZEV & PONOMAREV, 2020) 10 species of Macrolepidoptera were added to the fauna of Omsk Region. Some of the materials on Geometridae collected by S. A. Knyazev earlier were transferred to V. G. Mironov for determination. After examining some of the specimens, it was found that several species were not previously recorded in the region. Based on these data, we present a list of new finds below.

Material and methods

Moths were collected by standard method by butterfly net and by using mercury lamps 250W. All specimens deposited in the private collection of Svyatoslav Knyazev (SKO), Omsk, Russia. The mounted specimens were photographed by the camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Canon 100 mm USM macro lens.

The data about distribution for each species are use from book “The Geometrid Moths of Europe” (MIRONOV, 2003).
