	Ecology and Faunistics
18	V.B. Semenov The staphylinid beetles of subfamilies Micropeplinae, Proteininae and Omaliinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the Moscow Province. SUMMARY. An annotated checklist of 55 species of staphylinid beetles of subfamilies Micropeplinae (5 species), Proteininae (9 species) and Omaliinae (41 species) of the fauna of Moscow Province is given.
27	T.V. Levchenko Contributions to the fauna of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) of Moscow Province. 1. Families Melittidae and Colletidae. SUMMАRY. Article contains generalized information on world distribution and data on distribution in Moscow Province (Middle Russia) of 39 species of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea): 11 species of Melittidae and 28 species of Colletidae. Two species – Hylaeus angustatus (Schenck, 1861) and H. cornutus Curtis, 1831 – are given for Moscow Province for the first time. The localities, the dates of capture, the quantity of collected specimens and original information on ecology are included.
44	L.V. Bolshakov, V.G. Mironov, V.I. Piskunov, V.V. Anikin Additions and corrections to the fauna of Lepidoptera of the Tula Province. 2. SUMMARY. Additions and corrections to the lists of Lepidoptera of Tula Province are given, which contain 24 species, 20 of which are listed for the province for the first time, 7 species (Denisia stroemella (Fabricius, 1779), Eupoecilia cebrana (Hübner, [1813]), Capricornia boisduvaliana (Duponchel, 1836), Lobesia abscisana (Doubleday, 1849), Grapholita nigrostriana Snellen, 1883, Eupithecia spadiceata Zerny, 1933, Idaea dilutaria (Hübner, [1799])) – for the first time for the Central European Russia. Previous record of Adela sp. pr. cupriacella (Hübner, [1819]) for Tula Province is corrected to A. fasciella (Fabricius, 1775). Two species (Nothris verbascella ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775), Epagoge grotiana (Fabricius, 1781)) are excluded from the regional list due to unreliability of the initial records. Taking into account the recent research on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers a new combination is embraсed: Polyommatus eros orientalis (Krzywicki, 1983) [Vodolazhsky et al., 2009], with a reservation that all subspecies of P. eros (Ochsenheimer, 1808), displaying a practically irreversible reproductive isolation and morphological and ecological divergence can be considered as developing “protospecies”.
54	R.V. Yakovlev New Cossidae for Сhinese fauna (Lepidoptera). SUMMARY. Four species of Cossidae are reported from China for the first time: Dyspessa salicicola (Eversmann, 1848), Phragmataecia pygmaea Graeser, 1888, Ph. albida Erschoff, 1874 and Ph. impura Hampson, 1891. Information about distribution Ph. gummata Swinhoe, 1892, Ph. hummeli Bryk, 1942 and Ph. cinnamomea Wileman, 1911 is given.
57	A.N. Poltavsky, K.S. Artokhin, Y.A. Silkin To the fauna of Pyralid and Crambid moths (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae, Crambidae) of Rostov-on-Don Province. SUMMARY. Since 1978, during day- and night-time moth monitoring in Rostov-on-Don Province, 5397 ex. of 137 species of Pyralidae and Crambidae were collected in 36 localities. Preliminary studies of S.N. Alpheraky [Alpheraky, 1876] represented 63 species. The total list now includes 157 species of both families. Two species of Pyralidae (Phycitinae), Pempelia amoenella (Zeller, 1848) and Metallosticha argyrogrammos (Zeller, 1847), are reported from Russia for the first time. The most common and mass species are: Nomophila noctuella ([Den. & Schiff.)], Etiella zinckenella (Tr.), Aporodes floralis (Hb.), Euchromius ocellea (Hw.), Actenia brunnealis (Tr.), Homoeosoma nimbella (Dup.), Mecyna flavalis ([Den. & Schiff.]), Synaphe moldavica (Esp.), Pediasia luteella ([Den. & Schiff.]), Lamoria anella ([Den. & Schiff.]), Endotricha flammealis ([Den. & Schiff.]), Parapoynx stratiotata (L.), Hypsopygia costalis (F.), Calamotropha paludella (Hb.), Thisanotia chrysonuchella (Scop.), Agriphila tristella ([Den. & Schiff.]).

This checklist is the 3^rd supplement for the noctuid moth species new to different administrative divisions of the Russian Federation. The noctuid fauna of the 16 administrative divisions, for which concise reports were published, is here supplemented with data on the species new for these regions. In Kamchatka Province 7 new species were found (previously – 120), Kirov Province – 20 (261), Krasnodar Territory – 1 (398), Kursk and Belgorod Provinces – 21 (211), Lipetsk Province – 2 (180), Moscow Province – 1 (354), Murmansk Province – 6 (89), Nizhny Novgorod Province – 38 (249), Penza Province – 67 (217), Ryazan Province – 2 (326), Tambov Province – 15 (151), Tula Province – 15 (296), Republic of Udmurtia – 50 (157), Ulianovsk Province – 1 (313) and in Vladimir Province – 1 new for territory species (earlier – 274). Haemerosia renalis (Hübner, [1813]) is new for the fauna of Russian Federation, and Oligia leuconephra Hampson, 1908 – for the fauna of Europe and European Russia. 246 records are new for administrative divisions, and 50 – for the “big regions” of the territory of Russia that were established in the “Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Russia” ed. by S. Yu. Sinev [2008].
