New data on the distribution of Cossidae (Lepidoptera) in Mongolia

  • 1. Altai State University, Barnaul and Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia
  • 2. Khovd University (Bayan-Ulegej branch), Bayan-Ulegej, Mongolia
  • 3. Museum Witt München, München, Germany

Description

We recorded a new species of Cossidae – Acossus terebrus (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1776) – for Mongolia (Tov Aimak). We also report on the most northern habitat of the cossid genus Gobibatyr Yakovlev, 2004 (North-West Mongolia, Bayan-Ulegej Aimak), which shows the permeability of the Mongolian Altai Mountain Range for some elements of the Dzungarian fauna. Additionally, our sampling resulted in adding new localities to the ranges of Catopta perunovi Yakovlev, 2007 and Cecryphallus nubila (Staudinger, 1895) (first discovered in Hovd Aimak).
