It is distributed from Hungary to Minusinsk.
The correct combination is Paracossulus thrips.

It is distributed from Hungary to Minusinsk.
The correct combination is Paracossulus thrips.

I know how to do it correctly, but I still write automatically using the old

since we're talking about thrips...

Dypressa salicicola:








Phragmataecia castaneae



Cossus cossus

Which are spotless, is it probably Dyspessa kostjuki ?

I am grateful to everyone who looks into this topic. Many thanks for the material to Vladimir Savchuk, Denis Kasatkin, Kostya Vaksov, Grisha Grigoriev, and everyone else who showed interest and collected unique material for me! Thank you friends!
With NG you. Good luck, good health, good mood. And more cossides on your light traps. All of them will be processed, put in a collection and will benefit science. I PROMISE!

After NG, I'll look at the mustache. in general, I assumed that salicicola because all the posted photos were caught at the same time, together during the day they sat on wild onions or garlic in one place with a radius of 10 meters. And with spots there were like in a photo in nature-a typical salicicola, so I signed everyone as "salicicola".

Look at you! ophthalmoides - just like Phalera!

It is a special subfamily in the Cossidae Cossulinae. Recently, P. Gentili's excellent work on Costa Rica was published in the Zoological Journal of Linnev Island. I had one for reviews. Gentili proves that the group belongs to the Cossids, which they tried to deduce from there. By the way, Patricia Gentili described one cool genus in cossidae - Andesia, which turned out to be closer to the hepialids and a separate family Andesinidae was allocated, so it seems... Oh, how many other wild groups there are in the tropics. Where every step is terra incognita.

By the way, on "Fauna Europaea" now the taxonomy lepidoptera it is given in a modern form - and the cossides are given just "according to Yakovlev".
With which I sincerely congratulate Roman

Exclusive photo-Acossus terebra caterpillar!
Omsk region, April 2010.



This post was edited by Konung-03.05.2010 17: 41

On April 13, I took a caterpillar of odorous Woodworm, put it in a jar with cotton wool,the caterpillar buried itself in cotton wool, when there was a hurricane, I took the jar out on the balcony, 3 days later (today) I found a new butterfly.

Today I discovered that the terebra caterpillar, pictured just above, has turned into a very mobile pupa, easily moving with the help of hooks in the dorsal part!

Pavel, thank you so much for your new photos. Perfectly!

Roma, if you need anything for your publications , you are welcome.
Was Dyspessa karatavica still known from one place, or only from Karatau? And is there a PDF version of the mentioned article from Eversmannia? There's also a bunch of semagistis, which I've collected in several places today, too.
Here is a picture from the Kyzylkum Mountains (May 2)

Roman, where does Acossus viktor come from?

In the catalog of lepidoptera of Russia it is listed for Tyva

Yes, it is described from Southern Tuva, but 100% of it is also found in Mongolia. Probably endemic to the Ubsunur Basin or the entire Great Lakes Valley.

Cossus orientalis (det. R. Yakovlev)

Female Stygioides colchicus (Herrich-Schaffer, 1851),
Kherson region, Genichesky district. May 2010.,
Mistaken for female Psychidae

Can I tell you who it is?"

The point is awesome!
This is Deserticossus consobrinus Pngl.

The genus Stygioides
is very much needed from the Crimea

Crimea, Simferopol region, late May-early June 2011

A discussion (3-4 short articles) on the topic of Cossidae and the unpublished monographs of Kondratiev and Kozhenchikov (as well as the material arranged and determined by these specialists in various museums around the world), later used by Yakovlev, I propose to conduct with the permission of Kondratiev and Ulf Eitschbergera, who repeatedly suggested that the latter publish articles in Atalanta (Marktleuthen).
Of course, this is also suggested to Mr. R. V. Yakovlev, who may explain why the revision of the taxa of the species Cossus cossus did not investigate the preserved types of at least 6 taxa, while the author in the same “monograph” describes 4 new subspecies from different parts of the world.

[In Russian]. {Translated of the Title in the Russian original edition is given as "Amurian zoological journal"}, and also why in Yakovlev's works there are no cladograms or defining keys for either the species or even the generic group Cossidae, as is customary for other specialists working on Cossoidea? (see, for example,
1. Hua B. et al., 1990. The cossid fauna of China. (Lepidoptera: Cossidae). — In: Ilustritaj Cinaj Insekt-Faunoj, II. Tianze Chubanshe, Yangling : 1-139 [in text: Pl. I-VII (on pp.[135], [137], [139], [141], [143],[145], [147])]. [In Cinese]. {Transliteration of the Chinese title of the original edition, is given as "Zhongguo kuncong tuzhi: II.

2 ALEKSEY MOSKVICHOV

By the way, when I was last in Berlin, at the Humboldt University Zoo Museum, Mr. May actively asked me if I knew anything about Mr. Kondratiev. And, judging by the intonation, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that no news of the types taken had been received from the specified gentleman for many years. Not good...
