162 KB
The family Crambidae is represented in the Jewish Autonomous Region by 8 subfamilies, which include 134 species from 56 genera. The subfamily Pyraustinae is richest numbering 71 species from 32 genera. The tribe Pyraustini, representing by 57 species, is the largest in the regional fauna. Two other tribes of Pyraustinae – Spilomelini and Margarodini – include 3 and 11 species correspondingly. The high diversity of Pyraustinae due to the fact that the most species from this subfamily belongs to the forest or multizonal complexes, successfully populating vast forests of the Jewish Autonomous Region. The second large subfamily Crambinae includes mainly species of open areas: meadows and steppe landscapes (39 species). Other subfamilies are represented by a small number of species, according to [или due to или because of ] their specificity. Acentropinae (8 species) and Schoenobiinae (2 species) have poor diversity within Palaearctic, being associated with the water and wetland plants. Scopariinae (7 species) are more diverse and abundant in boreal forests rather than in nemoral ones, which are typical for the Jewish Autonomous Region. The species of the tropical subfamilies Cybalomiinae (2 species) and Musotiminae (1 species) inhabit the Jewish Autonomous Region at their northernmost limit of range. The subfamily Evergestinae, having poor diversity in the Eastern Palaearctic, is represented within the Jewish Autonomous Region by 4 species from 6 ones recorded hitherto in the Far East of Russia. The taxonomic structure of Crambidae of the Jewish Autonomous Region as a whole corresponds to that of the Russian Far East
