\"The paper presents a list of Macroheterocera (Hepialidae, Limacodidae, Thyatiridae, Drepanidae, Lasiocampidae, Saturniidae, Sphingidae, Notodontidae, Lymantriidae, Arctiidae, Nolidae, Erebidae, Noctuidae, excluding Geometridae) from Tumninsky Nature Reserve (308 species). Of them, as many as 33 species (11\%) were hitherto recorded neither from the Botchinsky Nature Reserve nor from the Amur River mouth. They penetrate the Tumnin River valley from the Amur River as a kind of an appendix. The 33 species include Agnidra scabiosa, Gastropacha clathrata, Kentrochrysalis streckeri, Euhampsonia splendida, Fentonia ocypete, Peridea graeseri, Pheosiopsis cinerea, Gonoclostera timoniorum, Micromelalopha sieversi, Calliteara pseudabietis, Kidokuga piperita, Arctornis alba, Macrobrochis staudingeri, Manulea ussurica, Pelosia obtuse [sic], Meganola bryophilalis, Evonima mandschuriana, Parhylophila buddhae, P. celsiana, Macrochtonia fervens, Earias pudicana, Mimachrostia fasciata, Araeopteron amoena, Lophomilia flaviplaga, Hadennia incongruens, Bryophilina mollicula, Gerbathodes paupera, Pyrrhia bifasciata, Callopistria albolineola, Balsa leodura, Cosmia moderata, C. trapezinula, Telorta divergens.\"

\"DNA barcoding has become a promising means for the identification of organisms of all life-history stages. Currently, distance-based and tree-based methods are most widely used to define species boundaries and uncover cryptic species. However, there is no universal threshold of genetic distance values that can be used to distinguish taxonomic groups. Alternatively, DNA barcoding can deploy a \“character-based\” method, whereby species are identified through the discrete nucleotide substitutions. Our research focuses on the delimitation of moth species using DNA-barcoding methods. We analyzed 393 Lepidopteran specimens belonging to 80 morphologically recognized species with a standard cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequencing approach, and deployed tree-based, distance-based, and diagnostic character-based methods to identify the taxa. The tree-based method divided the 393 specimens into 79 taxa (species), and the distance-based method divided them into 84 taxa (species). Although the diagnostic character-based method found only 39 so-identifiable species in the 80 species, with a reduction in sample size the accuracy rate substantially improved. For example, in the Arctiidae subset, all 12 species had diagnostics characteristics. Compared with traditional morphological method, molecular taxonomy performed well. All three methods enable the rapid delimitation of species, although they have different characteristics and different strengths. The tree-based and distance-based methods can be used for accurate species identification and biodiversity studies in large data sets, while the character-based method performs well in small data sets and can also be used as the foundation of species-specific biochips.\"
