Abstract
A search for the Siberian silk moth – Dendrolimus sibiricus (Tschetverikov, 1908) was carried out from 2002 to 2004 using sticky traps baited with a synthetic sex pheromone blend. Traps were deployed in 98 localities throughout Lithuania: in town parks, botanical gardens, forest trees nurseries and forest lots. No D. sibiricus specimens were found, but a total of 52 other moth species were trapped and identified. D. pini (Linnaeus, 1758) was the most frequently found species. Other species of trapped moths revealed new information on the Lithuanian fauna. Three new localities of the occurrence of very rare for Lithuania moth species, Parornix loganella (Stainton, 1848) and Dichelia histrionana (Frolich, 1828) were found. Six new localities were recorded for the occurrence of five moth species which are rare in Lithuania.
