Abstract:

"322 species of Macroheterocera (excluding Geometridae) are recorded from the Nature Reserve Botchinskii (north-eastern part of the Sikhote-Alin Mts. in Khabarovskii Krai) after two-years studying. 7 species more (from families Lasiocampidae, Lymantriidae and Arctiidae) are reported from other regions of the north-eastern Sikhote-Alin. 50% of the fauna consists of nemoral species. The most significant changing in species composition along the eastern slope of Sikhote-Alin Mts. is recorded north from the territory of Nature Reserve Botchinskii; the weakest – along the Arsenyev’s line. A new synonymy is established: Atolmis rubricollis rubricollis (Linnaeus, 1758) = Atolmis rubricollis alpischistosis Tshistajkov, 1994, syn. nov."
