Introduction

Macrolepidoptera of the Ural Mountains are quite well studied. The known faunal data are summarized in the Catalogue of Lepidoptera of Russian Federation (ANIKIN et al., 2019). Unfortunately, our findings of Papilionoidea in the Polar and Southern Urals published previously by us (RYBALKIN, ZURILINA & YAKOVLEV, 2018), were not included into the catalog.

In 2019-2021, the first author of this message collected significant materials in the territory of the Urals (Sverdlovsk, Orenburg and Chelyabinsk Regions) (Figs 1-3), where we found rare species of Papilionoidea and Noctuoidea, new for the region.

Material and methods

The Papilionoidea were collected with a butterfly net, the Noctuoidea were attracted at light using self-ballasted (SB) mercury vapor lamps 250W.

The specimens were photographed with the digital camera Sony DSC-HX7V and Olympus Camedia 7070 digital camera, the images were processes in Adobe PhotoShop. The genital preparations were made according to the method of LAFONTAINE & MIKKOLA (1987). The photographs of micropreparations were taken using the Olympus DP70 photographic microscope, using the software DPController and DPManager. Images were adjusted and plates were prepared with the software Adobe Photoshop CS6.
