Entomofauna of the Opuksky Nature Reserve

I worked in this reserve twice-August 2003 and April 2004. Lists of arrows for the nature reserve's annals. They don't seem to be on this list. I couldn't find it right away, so I'll send it to

The list of lepidoptera is weak.

I looked at leaf beetles and diptera. There are a lot of ridiculous typos. For example, the word Cryptocephalus is written in three different variants.

Thanks! I would be very grateful!

About lepidoptera I agree, but in the mass of publications that are on the page of Voladimir Savchuk there was only this.
For example, more than 400 species have been recorded in the Kazantip Nature Reserve.

I agree, so far I have posted lists directly from the chronicles, but not everything is correct. That's why I ask for the help of specialists in groups, because it will take me much longer to check. Thank you.

This is important to ... justify the need for the existence of a nature reserve in principle.

Someone liked the territory and are looking for a reason to abolish the reserve?

Follow the list. The catastrophically low number of butterflies is surprising. In one good May-June day, you could count more species than in that list. One kind of nymphalid, not a single whitefly? This is ridiculous.
In principle, if we extrapolate, then Opuka should be inhabited mainly by the same species as on Kazantip and on the entire Kerch Peninsula. At least as far as diaries are concerned.
On Opuka, I had a chance to collect only once, in the first days of May. The weather was cold and cloudy, and there were very few insects. Here's what I met:


Whiteflies Colias alfacariensis
Euchloe ausonia
Pontia daplidice (pictured by Semik)

Golubenki
Lycaena phlaeas
Aricia agestis
Polyommatus icarus

Thickheads
Carcharodus alceae
Erynnis tages


Papilio machaon sailboats

Nymphalids
Vanessa cardui

Satyrs
Coenonympha pamphilus
Lasiommata megera

Ursa
Major Arctia festiva

Scoops
Emmelia trabealis
Acontia lucida
Autographa gamma

Moths
of Lythria purpuraria
Cataclysme riguata

Lemoniidae
Lemonia ballioni

Vladimir, thank you very much!

There are two reasons : the organization's project is redone once every 10 years, and it has already been delayed; the second reason is that the borders have not yet been approved, this is for 12 years - the local councils do not want to coordinate it.
It is important to show that yes, there is a reserve, scientific work is underway, a lot has already been done, and there are also prospects for further development...

And according to the list, from the literature I took only the one where the Opuk was indicated directly. On the other hand, this is a reason to conduct special research.

Typos in the list of erect wings are also unbearable. It feels like they scanned some paperwork, then "recognized" it with a computer program and didn't check the result with the original source.

Here is the corrected version.

Phaneroptera falcata – Common
grasshopper Leptophyes albovittata – Common
grasshopper Decticus verrucivorus – Grey
grasshopper Platycleis intermedia – Spotted
grasshopper Tettigonia viridissima – Green
grasshopper Melanogryllus desertus – Steppe
cricket Acrida bicolor – Common grasshopper Bryodema tuberculatum
– Broad – winged rattle
Saga pedo – Prairie
dybka Acrotylus longipes – Seaside filly
Calliptamus italicus – Italian Prus
Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa-Common bear

At the same time, for example, the ratchet is now transferred to the genus Bryodemella, and the actual species belonging to the acrid is a mystery.

I see, thank you so much!

As for what was scanned, it is quite possible - the first chronicles are only in the paper version, and this is what was sent to me from the reserve...

Cardiophorus rubripes Germ. and Paracardiophorus musculus Er. should be moved from goldfinches to nutcrackers.
probably Plagionotus floralis in barbels and probably
Gastrophysa polygoni in leaf beetles instead of Gastroidea polygoni (Linnaeus, 1758)
instead of Lithraria salicariae, it is better to use Lythraria salicariae (Paykull, 1800)
instead of Lobidostomis, it is better to use Labidostoma

in elephants, Trichosirocalus troglodytes (Fabricius, 1787)is better than Ceuthorrynchidius troglodytes
Coniocleonus nigrosaturatus Gz. replace with Coniocleonus nigrosuturatus (Goeze, 1777)

in sirphid flies instead of Spisyrphus balteatus Deg. better Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776)

Thank you, I'll fix it.

Yes, in sirphids, replace Heliophilus trivittatus F. with Helophilus trivittatus (Fabricius, 1805)
and replace Dsoctria engeli with Dioctria engeli Noskiewicz, 1953

Thanks! I got everything.
I am happy to confirm the discovery of Iris polystictica,
but the presence of sand empusa there seems doubtful.
The material sent to the reserve, apparently, has sunk, and Semik, unfortunately, no longer works there.
It's good that the lists have been preserved.

I still have a copy of the report, but I can't find the electronic version. If necessary, I can scan it, but I think at this stage it is superfluous

I agree.

15-18.08.2003,
...
Plebeius idas (Linnaeus, 1761)
Melanargia galathea (Linnaeus, 1758)
Hyponephele lupina (Costa, 1836)

Idas? IMHO, not a very suitable place for it.

Galatea in mid-August? On yayla-yes. But in the steppe?
Was the flying yurtina or Lycaon mistaken for Lupin?

But the presence of sandy empusa there seems doubtful.

If so, it will be the first find for the Crimea,in my opinion ...

In the list: a rgyrognomon, was less common than argus (since I still haven't quite figured out argyrognomon and idasam), so I brought idas (what is in the Crimea)
About galatea in the report: "Single highly flown specimens. The time of observations is mid-August-not typical for the summer of this species, which is common in the Crimea in June-July"
Here is an error when transferring Latin, in the report:
Lycaon (Hyponephele lycaon Rott.)

About Empusa: the Crimean empusa mantis (Empusa fasciata Brulle) is not listed in category II of the KKU for the Kerch Peninsula. One specimen was recorded on the southwestern slope of Opuk. (in the photo report)
Thank you for your clarification.

Thank you for your clarification.

Now I found in my old Crimean field diary: Opuk, May 19, 1996 1 copy. Empusa sp. (larva). The copy is probably still in the boxes somewhere.

The Crimean empusa mantis (Empusa fasciata Brulle)... not specified for the Kerch Peninsula.

I met him on Kerch repeatedly. But, much less often than in the mountainous part.

Adding authors and families for mantises and erect wings:

Mantodea:

Mantidae:
Ameles heldreichi Brunner, 1882
or,with subspecies,
Ameles heldreichi taurica (Jakovlev, 1903) - Crimean
praying mantis Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) - Common praying mantis

Empusidae:
Empusa fasciata Brulle, 1832-Striped
Empusa Empusa pennicornis (Pallas, 1773) - Pinnate Empusa - I also doubt its presence there, unlike E. fasciata

Tarachodidae:
Iris polystictica (Fischer-Waldheim, 1846 – - Spotted-winged iris

Orthoptera:

Tettigoniidae:
Phaneroptera falcata (Poda, 1761) – Common
Plastoptera Leptophyes albovittata (Kollar, 1833) – Common
Plastoptera Saga pedo (Pallas, 1771) – Prairie
dyba Decticus verrucivorus (Linnaeus, 1758) – Grey grasshopper
Platycleis intermedia (Serville, 1838)– Spotted Horseshoe
Tettigonia viridissima (Linnaeus, 1758) – Green grasshopper

Gryllidae:
Melanogryllus desertus (Pallas, 1771) - Steppe cricket
Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa (Linnaeus, 1758 – - Common bear

Acrididae:
Acrida bicolor (Thunberg, 1815) - Common acrida
Bryodemella tuberculata (Fabricius, 1775) - Broad-winged rattle
Acrotylus longipes (Charpentier, 1845) - Seaside filly
Calliptamus italicus (Linnaeus, 1758 – - Italian Prus

The list of straight-winged birds, in my opinion, still needs to be replenished and replenished

Should there be earwigs, cockroaches (probably Crimean endemics), possibly bacteria? The list of straight-winged birds is clearly insufficient.

Thanks! I absolutely agree with you. In my resulting table, by animal types and orders, there are graphs: "number of species at the time of organizing the reserve", "current state", "forecast"; this way you can see what you can expect from further research. So leatherwings and other groups, for which there is no information at all yet, are also taken into account there.

I want to clarify, is the Crimean bogomolchik a subspecies? is there a publication where it belongs to the heldreichi subspecies?

And another clarification, now mantises are a suborder of the cockroach-like order?

Pleco

I answered everything in the personal account.

Thank you very much! All received.

I looked at my group of weevils, it's just * facepalm*
16 species of sithons (!) and not a single phyllobius or polydrusus? how so?
Ceuthorrynchidius sareptanus - what kind of nonsense?

Everything is in your hands

Actually, that's why I posted the lists, Ilya Andreevich, I will be grateful for your corrections and comments, what is clearly absurd, please note so that you can exclude it from the lists...
Thank you.

If it is still relevant, I can add a little more butterflies for my own collections.

Now it is more relevant for Igor Sikorsky-in the current chronicle of nature.

What is the situation with the butterfly atlas?

Clear. I now regularly communicate with Igor.
Atlas in the layout process.
