Abstract

The article summarizes the materials on the set of limiting criteria and factors affecting the group of threatened species of diurnal Lepidoptera of Udmurtia. The group is formed by representatives belonging to the categories "Exposed to critical danger", "Endangered" and "Vulnerable", allocated by the regional co-Zoological analysis of the fauna of Rhopalocera. A set of criteria used to identify the threatened categories includes the following indicators of limitation: arealographic (total breadth of distribution of species in the region, the degree of fragmentation of regional habitat types, trends in regional species' chorology); biotopic (quantity and quality of key habitats in the region, as well as actual and potential risks and declining trends in their quantity and quality); population (the level of localization of population structures of species). The main factors of anthropogenic impact on the habitats of moths include the regional types of nature management with landscape-scale manifestations, such as agricultural and forestry activities.
