The big website renewal
So, here the newly done:
Taxonomy
Lepidoptera taxonomy came to be more comprehensible
Better taxon delimitation including tribus, subfamilies and more
Thousands of new species and other taxa added
Taxonomy page now shows on two daughter taxa at once
Catalogue
Country/region list renewed
“Sort by” parameters are shown in the individual list on the right since there are already quite a few and it's expected to be more further on
Delays in showing search results now is nearly off. If your connection is presently as much fast as it used to be, you'll have the Catalogue page loaded few times faster than before
Bonuses
Imago flight period and larvae stage now are shown on a species description page schematically what's obviously more handy than plain text. Thanks to Alexandr Boldyrev for this idea.
All links have no slashes at the end anymore. If you for anyway end one with a slash, no biggie, you'll get automatically redirected to the right page.
Yet not as much fast as the Catalogue, other website pages also get loaded faster than before
Shortcomings
Photo uploading is still pending. Still you are free to add comments that's working properly.
Authors info not yet completely matched to texts and references.
Synonyms and species genus combinations are temporarily off to be shown
Shortcomings are due to be removed near days.
P. S. Taxonomy may happen to get buggy, like some taxa could be misplaced or something of the kind. If notice such, please, comment that very taxon or leave a message in the Guestbook, or directly e-mail me.
P. P. S. The English version of the website is still an old one including the old, not renewed taxonomy. If curious, compare these two to see how it actually was and what's now.

Dmitry, sure it would be perfect to own all data by all species and all regions as well. Whatsoever we have what we have so we can try to provide as much information as possible. Therefore, when we mention that the species is met in Germany and not in France with no data by the rest of regions, it's definitely of more use than to limit ourselves with kind of "we know nothing but it's met in Germany". As for Southern Russia, I suspect that Fauna Europea means the south of European part of Russia yet it's just a guess so I translate it literally with no changes. I'm going to add some new info from Sinev's catalogue soon so as Russian regions will be accordingly renamed in the catalogue and search whilst Fauna Europea names could be so far considered as transient ones.
