Identification of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

Saratov Region, June 2015.

Idaea fuscovenosa
Coenonympha arcania

Dear colleagues, the season has finally opened today. The weather conditions are quite spring - like: +8 and cloudy. I hung up the carrier in the garden and only three copies arrived at the light, which in my opinion is quite good for the end of March

Filmed in Saratov, Molochki district.

Please help me determine!

Eupsilia transversa

Dear forum participants, Please tell me brazhnikov, upper as it seems to me KENTROCHRYSALIS CONSIMILIS? But lower SIEVERSI or STRECKERI?

Roman, check out the page Far Eastern Hawkmoth http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=184410&st=50

Dear forum participants, Please tell me brazhnikov, upper as it seems to me KENTROCHRYSALIS CONSIMILIS? But lower SIEVERSI or STRECKERI?

As far as I know, K. consimilis is only found in Japan. If anyone has reliable data on the findings of the species in Russia, it will be interesting to find out. The other two species are difficult to distinguish, especially in the photo. K. sieversi is darker, larger, and more contrasting. But this is very conditional.

Dear forum participants, Once again, I would like to thank everyone who helped me with the KENTROCHRYSALIS genus, thank you! Please tell me the hawkmoth species shown in the photo belong to the genus DEILEPHILA? If I'm not mistaken, is it an ASKOLDENSIS species or not?

Tajik - D. porcellus L. Is similar to the suellus form, but it is still porcellus. With DV-yes, D. ascoldensis. Soak your butterflies in galosha gasoline, they will look better without belly fat.

Thank you very much! And suellus is not a separate species but a form of porcellus?

Thank you very much! And suellus is not a separate species but a form of porcellus?

Yes, this form is brownish in color. It was sometimes treated as a species, but in recent years I have not seen any evidence of its species status.

I ask for help in determining the moths?

Caddis fly.

Well, regarding apamea and lacanobia, it's enough to look into the eyes with a good magnification, real gadenins have hairs sticking out of their eyes. In my opinion, the first 3 are Lacanobia amurensis (aliena), the last one is L. suasa, if you don't have something of your own, I don't have Blue on hand right now.

Second Syricoris lacunana

I see too many discrepancies in the names. For example, this species I always knew as Celypha lacunana) Here's how to understand and find the right option?

This is not a different name, but a different generic combination. There can be no "correct" option here, it is always a question of the writer's personal views, and the nomenclature is generally an artificial thing, invented for our convenience, there are so many people, so many opinions.

By the way, this is a good litmus test for people: when someone says that some generic combination is wrong, and the correct one is this - you know: this is an asshole*.

As for this particular case - in modern publications, Syricoris is more often separated from Celypha into a separate genus - I have no idea how justified this is.

* - except when completely outdated combinations are corrected (such as Papilio podalirius or Catopta thrips).

Thank you, Vasily! I figured it out - everything is correct.
Here's another mystery. Either Apamea illyria, or Pabulatrix pabulatricula. Maybe something else. All from ocd. Krasnoyarsk, forest-steppe. End of July-beginning august.

Rather, it is Cyaniris semiargus. G. alexis has pronounced large spots on the inner side of the wing
