Title: DISTRIBUTIONAL LIMITS OF BUTTERFLIES (INSECTA, LEPIDOPTERA, HESPERIOIDEA, PAPILIONOIDEA) OF THE SUBBOREAL AND THE SOUTHERN COMPONENTS OF THE TEMPERATE COMPLEXES WITHIN LOWER AMUR
Abstract: Analysis of butterfly species distribution within the poorly studied Lower Amur basin is presented. Two ecological complexes were considered – nemoral species of mixed broadleaved forests, and temperate meadow species. All data for more than 150 years is summarized. 129 species from 6 families are studied with northern limits of their distribution outlined.
