Three species are newly recorded from Tajikistan: Epimetasia gregori Amsel, 1970 from Yazgulemsky and Ishkashimsky mountain ranges, Evergestis hyrcanalis Amsel, 1961 from Ishkashimsky and Yuzhnoalichursky mountain ranges and Cynaeda forsteri de Lattin, 1951 from Yazgulemsky mountain ridge. The latter species represented in Tajikistan by a separate subspecies which described herein as Cynaeda forsteri davlatovi, ssp. n. and Evergestis hyrcanalis george, ssp. n. The exact locality of the toponym “Sarekanda” which is a type locality of several Lepidoptera taxa is found and its coordinates are given. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:49D5C978-1B5F-40AD-BC58-C4F1EE241CA1 |

Hydrophiloidea: Helophoridae, Georissidae, Hydrochidae, Spercheidae, Hydrophilidae SUMMARY. The third part of the Сatalogue of beetles (Coleoptera) of the Urals contains an annotated list of beetles of the superfamily Hydrophiloidea of the Urals Region with adjacent territories of the Middle Volga Region, the Vyatka-Kama Interfluve, Western Siberia, and Western Kazakhstan. Reference information is provided on the regional composition of Hydrophiloidea, including 33 species of Helophoridae, 2 species of Georissidae, 5 species of Hydrochidae, 1 species of Spercheidae, and 63 species of Hydrophilidae. At the Polar and Subpolar Urals (in the Komi Republic) 29 species of hydrophiloid beetles are recorded, for the Northern Urals (in the Komi Republic, northeastern Perm Area, and northwestern Sverdlovsk Province) 30 species are listed, at the Middle Urals 63 species (including 49 species in Perm Area and 42 species in Sverdlovsk Province) are num-bered, at the Southern Urals 82 species (32 species in Bashkortostan Republic, 30 species in Chelyabinsk Province, and 71 species in Orenburg Province) are recorded. Data for the regional fauna of the Urals are summarized, including 104 species from 21 genera and 5 families of Hydrophiloidea. Three species: Laccobius sinuatus Motschulsky, 1849, Limnoxenus niger (Gmelin, 1790) and Cryptopleurum subtile Sharp, 1884 (Hy-drophilidae) are recorded from the Urals for the first time. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:39F74D76-5450-4BBF-A770-E87D79427644 |

Based on long-term collections (2013–2025), available photographic materials, and literature data, an annotated list of yponomeutoid moths (Yponomeutoidea) is presented, including the families Yponomeutidae (14 species), Ypsolophidae (20 species), Ochsenheimeriidae (2 species), Argyresthiidae (14 species), Plutellidae (4 species), Acrolepiidae (2 species), Glyphipterigidae (3 species), Lyonetiidae (4 species), and Bedelliidae (1 species). Among these, 27 species (4 species of Yponomeutidae, 7 species of Ypsolophidae, 1 species of Ochsenheimeriidae, 2 species of Argyresthiidae, 2 species of Plutellidae, 1 species of Acrolepiidae, 1 species of Glyphipterigidae, 1 species of Lyonetiidae) are recorded for the first time in the republic, including Ypsolopha colleaguella Baraniak, 2007, Y. instabilella (Mann, 1866), and Argyresthia bonnetella (Linnaeus, 1758) recorded for the first time in the Middle Volga region; Swammerdamia glaucella Junnilainen, 2001, Argyresthia bergiella (Ratzeburg, 1840), A. sp. (cf. illuminatella Zeller, 1839 / amiantella (Zeller, 1847) / uralensis Baraniak et Junnilainen, 2011), A. abdominalis Zeller, 1839, and Ypsolopha cf. blandella (Christoph, 1882) are recorded for the first time in the Volga region. The list also includes three unnumbered local or rare species (one species of Plutellidae, one species of Glyphipterigidae, one species of Heliodinidae) known only from older literature. Based on genitalia morphology, the subgenus Cerostoma Latreille, 1802, stat. n., is distinguished within the genus Ypsolopha Latreille, 1796, with the type species Ypsolophus dorsatus Fabricius, 1798 (= Phalaena Tinea vittella Linnaeus, 1758; = Ypsolopha vittella (Linnaeus, 1758)). The type locality of Argyresthia uralensis Baraniak et Junnilainen, 2011 is clarified: " Russia, Republic of Bashkortostan, Beloretsk district, “Iremel” Nature Park, 900–1300 m ". urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B3D76A81-5C1D-4562-8AE1-C5B5F6EED9EB |
