Abstract

Zhetysu Alatau is one of the richest regions of Kazakhstan in terms of animal species diversity, second only to Altai. Thanks to the favorable combination of various landscapes found here, they can be used for scientific, educational, environmental, educational, cultural and recreational purposes. Presumably, up to five thousand species of insects can live in the entire mountain system, so additional scientific research is needed in the field of inventory. In 2021, for this purpose, field trips were organized to the territory of the Zhongar Alatau Natural Park. Explored territories - Sarkan branch, Baskan, Topolevka, Amanbokter forestry; Chernov, Lepsi forestry of the Lepsinsky branch. To collect initial materials, i.e., photos, videos, samples for collecting, methods of visual examination of large insect species, mowing with an entomological net, and catching by light were used. Scientific reference literature was used to identify insects. As a result, 8 new species were included in the list of insects living in the park. Thus, the taxonomic list is 651 species belonging to 67 families and 11 orders. Of these, 4 species – Coleoptera, 3 species - Lepidoptera, 1 species – Hymenoptera orders. The article contains additions to the list of invertebrates of 2021 inhabiting the territory of the Dzhungarskiy Alatau SNPP.
