Sphingidae Hawkmoths

sdi, thank you!

vasiliy-feoktistov, and thank you, the manual is entertaining =) But I am interested in the specific composition of Sphingidae for the whole of Russia. I can't find anywhere, even a similar list for the Soviet Union-everywhere there are either lists of the most common species, or individual regions of the country. I suspect that the subject you are looking for can be found in the recent "Catalog of Lepidoptera of the Russian Federation" Sineva... maybe someone has this in electronic form?

There is an old article by Derzhavets on brazhniki of the USSR. If I'm not mistaken in the Entomological Review. somewhere in the 80s or even earlier. I don't have it.

That's what it's called:
Derzhavets Yu. A., 1984. Overview of the hawk moth system (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) with a list of species of fauna of the USSR / / Entomol. obozr. T. 63. № 3. pp. 604-620
Unfortunately, it is also not noticed on the network =(

Here is a list of hawkmoths based on the collection of the Novosibirsk Museum.

I suspect that the subject you are looking for can be found in the recent "Catalog of Lepidoptera of the Russian Federation" Sineva... maybe someone has this in electronic form?

Of course, that's where you need to look.
But it has not been distributed in electronic form [yet].
But it still seems to be on sale - I'll go to the House of Books on Novy Arbat one day, take a look-I need to buy a second copy so that I can also have it in Russia...

Here is a list of hawkmoths based on the collection of the Novosibirsk Museum.

...

There is also information about:
Theretra alecto-Dagestan
Kentrochrysalis sieversi, Acherontia styx, Clanis bilineatus-possible migrants for the south of Primorye.
Maybe the owners of the book Sineva or any other list of Russian hawkmoth will add to our catalog? =)

U Derzhavets Yu. A., 1984. 70 species. In the list of post 244, there are views missing from the article.

Which ones?

Which ones?

I don't have an article, but just for a quick start:
29. Cephonodes hylas (Linnaeus, [1771]) MIGRANT
46. Hyles chuvilini (Eitschberger, Danner & Surholt, 1998)

There is also information about:
Theretra alecto-Dagestan
Kentrochrysalis sieversi, Acherontia styx, Clanis bilineatus-possible migrants for the south of Primorye.
Maybe the owners of the book Sineva or any other list of Russian hawkmoth will add to our catalog? =)

- Acherontia styx is listed in Chistyakov's ID card, and I haven't seen any evidence of capture.

- Acherontia lachesis (Fabricius, 1798) is listed in the book of Izersky as caught in the amount of 4 pcs. in the village of Primorskiy (manor zap. "Kedrovaya Pad")

- Kentrochrysalis sieversi is also indicated by Isersky, 1 piece in the same place (manor zap. "Cedar Pad").

As for the article by Yu. A. Derzhavets, at the time of its writing
- Cephonodes hylas (Linnaeus, [1771]) had not yet been recorded in our Southern Primorye
- Hyles chuvilini (Eitschberger, Danner & Surholt, 1998) had not yet been described

Regarding Clanis bilineatus: the butterfly is recorded in the collections of Yankovsky (R. Sidemi Khasansky district), but the possibility of labeling errors was expressed, since Yankovsky collected butterflies before in Korea. Isersky specified 1 copy. for the same item Primorskiy (manor zap. "Cedar Pad")

What about Meganoton (analis) scribae (Austaut, 1911)? Chistyakov has it marked as registered in Kunashir, and Sinev, as I understand it, does not have it at all?..

Meganoton scribae (Austaut, 1911) on Kunashir is quite real, at least I know a person who caught it there personally

Most lepidopterologists start collecting / studying lepidoptera from the hawk moth family! And WHO is still there - the number and species composition of hawk moth remains unclear:
a). Occurring on the territory of the Russian Federation.
b). Developing on the territory of the Russian Federation.
c). Take for example the death's head hawk moth - the question is, can its pupa overwinter on the territory of Russia!?? Moth moth caterpillars are already found in the Ryazan region (as well as pupae in the Penza region) - perhaps this species winters here???
d). statements about the possibility of flying south in the autumn of moth moth, death's head, and aleander are utter nonsense. We found a male bindweed in early October - snow has already fallen. On the fence of the alcohol factory under the lantern (Penza region). etc. I collect material on this family, I want to write a big article on them.

a and b) Read the topic from post #238 (if you haven't read it of course) the question has already been raised.
c) Bindweed (imago) is already being caught in M. O. (according to rumors)"I didn't catch it myself.
d) I agree.

I'm collecting material on this family, and I want to write a big article on them.

And there will be something new besides dots?

c) death's head pupae were also found in the Odessa region in the spring, from which butterflies were haphazardly released. It seems that even in Central Moldova, someone found the same thing and brought it out.. So the question is removed

Flying south is not nonsense. Bindweed specimens that are caught in the MO in October are the second generation that has emerged here, flying south. Just in our band, it is late hatched, late and starts on the way to the parent land (but, of course, between the departures of individuals, a spread in terms of time is inevitable). It is possible that some emigrants are sometimes unlucky with atmospheric heat (for example, suddenly an early snowfall fell at the distillery, as in the example above), and they - as a result-do not have enough strength (at least until at least a short return of heat) to continue the journey. But the norm is to fly south in the fall. This can probably be considered quite sufficiently covered in the literature. But wintering in our conditions, for example, the imago of the loach hawk moth (not to mention the oleander moth) in the foreseeable future can hardly be expected - as well as the development of eggs laid by individuals of obviously southern species literally under the snow in our zone... In our country, super-millennial generations of their own species will die for the most part without offspring, causing then shoals in the dynamics of population numbers...

today, a couple of hours ago, I came out of the chrysalis

what a surprise

link to the album-shot how the wings were spread

http://picasaweb.google.com/chekhun/Achero...feat=directlink

the situation is exactly like three years ago:

I dug potatoes in the country, dug out a chrysalis

I put it in a box and a hawk moth came out

only in 2007 was bindweed

and this time-a death's head

Honestly, I didn't even expect to see her alive

good!

and how to determine the gender?

Good evening! I also want to share some new findings! We have the second generation of Bedstraw Hawkmoth and Yazykans flying in full swing in the Istra district! On phlox yesterday at dusk at the same time four Bedstraw flew!

Yazykan, in my opinion, in the Istra district is no more interesting than the second generation of bedstraw. I collected podmarennikovogo in October near Zvenigorod.

Yazykan, in my opinion, in the Istra district is no more interesting than the second generation of bedstraw. I collected podmarennikovogo in October near Zvenigorod.

First of all, I saw him here once, but I couldn't catch him

To be honest, I see yazykan in our region for the first time in 10 years of observation. This is probably due to the hot summer. They fly to phloxes in the morning and after sunset, a couple of times even two at the same time flew: one slightly larger, and the other smaller. Class like a hummingbird straight!
