Abstract

A study of the habitat distribution of 177 species of pyralid moths (Pyraloidea) was carried out in the Bastak nature reserve (Far East of Russia) since 2003. 4 habitat assemblages were recognized: I – piedmont mixed broad leaved – coniferous forest combined with floodplain forest and wetlands; II – lowland deciduous forest in association with mesophytic meadows; III – broad leaved and floodplain forest and meadows under influence of man's activities; IV – thin larch forest (mari). The greatest diversity and abundance of Pyraloidea were recorded in II assemblage (154 species, 7535 individuals), whereas IV (larch mari) was the poorest (57 sp., 540 ind.). Diasemia reticularis (Linnaeus, 1761), Crambus pascuellus (Linnaeus, 1758), Sciota adelphella (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1836), Ortholepis betulae (Goeze, 1778) were abundant in all 4 assemblages.
