Announcements of new literature

Translated from folk to Russian, respectively-Podaliriy (which in the Kursk region for some reason develops on umbrella ones), Shashechnitsa (etc.), sovka gamma, fingerwing.

"Matrosik", by the way, is a very good name for podaliriya!

By the way, maybe this is the pseudonym of the one who tortured this butterfly?

This is obviously a French folk name

"A4 size, full colours with 360 pages. It is in both English and Chinese. Out of the some 2000 species of butterflies recorded in China, Zephyrus Hairstreaks are a group of exotic butterflies. This book is the first volume in printing and includes 62 species from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Chongqing and Guizhou. It depicts eggs, larvae, pupae, adults of every species and their habits."

Dear friends and colleagues,

The second edition of the CD "Day Butterflies of Eastern Europe" is published in a limited edition. Yandex. Disk runs on modern versions of Windows.

The CD "Day Butterflies of Eastern Europe" is the result of a multi-year international project. Its authors are entomologists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (I. G. Plyushch, D. V. Morgun, K. E. Dovgailo, I. A. Solodovnikov, N. I. Rubin).

This work is a complete survey (database) and guide to 379 species with corresponding subspecies of diurnal lepidoptera distributed in Norway (Finnmark province), Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Belarus, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, the European part of Russia (including all subjects of the North Caucasus), as well as Western Kazakhstan (Ural and Atyrau regions). A separate list is given of 13 species that were probably erroneously listed for this territory in old (early XX century) literary sources.
There are 2 parts to the work : a database (essays on families, genera, species, and subspecies) and a polytomic determinant for all subspecies.
Faunal data from these territories are generalized, based on the analysis of our own observations and collections, as well as a large volume of literary sources (about 2000 names). In total, the authors reviewed and analyzed more than 300,000 specimens of mace-whiskered lepidoptera from the study region. Most of the materials and data on the distribution and ecology of species are original and presented for the first time. A good visual aid to the category "Distribution in Eastern Europe" is absolutely original maps-schemes of areas. The CD-ROM contains 421 distribution maps, and thus many taxa are illustrated with 2 smaller-scale maps.
This paper discusses separately and publishes for the first time data on the phenology and number of generations, characteristic and specific ethological details of the preimaginal development of many rare and little-known endemic Eastern European species.
Taxa sketches are supplemented with more than 3,800 original photos of diurnal lepidoptera (at least 4 photos per species or subspecies-the upper and lower sides of the male and female wings are illustrated, for some species there are images of butterflies in natural conditions or photos of preimaginal stages).

Information about Yandex. Disk and the order can be sent by e-mail: d_moth@mail.ru.

I will draw your attention to this new book on Czech and Slovak languages (the first of two). Just got out. A lot of species are illustrated, some groups are excellent watercolors, some are photos of collectible specimens. Lots of photos min.
I like.

I have not even had a hole in my computer for two years now where to put these disks.
Make books. They won't be technically obsolete.

All the same, the CD/DVD standard has 5 years to live, a maximum of 10. You can't tie scientific creativity to any standard of data storage devices. These devices tend to change, and quite seriously and quickly. On average, one generation of storage devices becomes obsolete within 10 years. There were floppy disks - where are they now? There were ZIP drives-where are they now? There were streamers - where are they now? Optical disks quickly lose ground to flash drives. And flash drives are already being replaced by a new data storage format-the quartz information cube. They say it will be insanely durable and very capacious. And it will be, at least, capacious)

It will enter.
However, not from the point that is given in the publication. In Europe, unpublished material on this species from the European part of Russia was found in collections.

So the Astrakhan region is the European part of Russia)

That's right, this is the first published point, but the authors of the book have previously found unpublished materials and will cite them in the book. They probably won't be able to make your post in time. But the points are close.

TRUE BUGS OF THE WORLD 2nd EDITION - AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW

We are very pleased to announce that we will shortly be publishing the second edition of the highly acclaimed True Bugs of the World. The first edition, often referred to as 'The Red Book', published in 1995 by Cornell University Press and authored by Randall T. Schuh & James Alexander Slater ran to 336 pages. The second edition of this monumental reference work, now titled: TRUE BUGS OF THE WORLD (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA): Classification and Natural History (Second Edition) has been prepared by Randall T. Schuh (American Museum of Natural History) & Christiane Weirauch (University of California, Riverside) and runs to a staggering 800 pages, almost 2.5 times the extent of the original, reflecting the great advances in research made over the past 25 years.

FROM THE BACK COVER

The First Edition of “True Bugs of the World” presented a comprehensive review of heteropteran biology, morphology, and classification down to the subfamily level. In the intervening 24 years our knowledge of the Heteroptera has vastly increased. Almost 5000 new bug species have been described during this period, a 12–15% increase. Two new families, Curaliidae and Meschiidae, have been described, and the categorical rank of multiple family-group taxa has been revised. The use of cladistic methods through the application of more-user-friendly computer programs and of DNA-sequence data in phylogenetic analysis are now commonplace with a concomitant increase in our understanding of true-bug relationships. The study of fossil Heteroptera has blossomed in a way not seen since the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Finally, a large body of literature now documents various aspects of the natural history of true beetles, ranging from chemical ecology to microbiomes, and establishing certain Heteroptera as model organisms for phenomena including aposematism, sexual conflict, and paternal care. All of these factors argued for an updated volume summarizing our general knowledge of the true beetles.
In preparing this Second Edition we have maintained an organization approach similar to that of the First Edition. The introductory chapters deal with issues from a historical and functional perspective, the major alteration of format involving the coalescence into a single chapter of all material dealing with heteropteran natural history. Following a key to infraorders, we present for the first time an extensive review of fossil Heteroptera. The systematics chapters, which comprise the remainder and preponderance of the work, focus almost exclusively on living Heteroptera. Taxa are grouped by infraorder, superfamily, family, subfamily, and in some cases tribe.
Following from the First Edition, we present diagnoses and information on the history of classification for suprafamilial taxa, all families, and for many subfamilies and tribes, as well as sections on Specialized Morphology, Natural History, and Distribution and Faunistics. We continue to present information on numbers of described taxa. The volume includes figures for general morphology and for details of structure in all family-group taxa, as well as 32 color plates of habitus images and 2 of living beetles; 3020 papers are cited, a 230% increase over the First Edition. The majority of the newly cited papers have been published since 1993 when the literature search for the First Edition stopped. This seminal volume will appeal to anyone interested in Heteroptera, including for use as a general reference, specialized textbook, aid to family-group identification, and a gateway to the ever-expanding literature on the group.
