Abstract—All the known bibliographical and original data on grass moths (Pyraloidea, Crambidae) of Buryatia
(Western Transbaikalia) are summarized. Regional fauna is represented by 46 species, including 24 species re-
corded for the first time, 1 species new for Asian part of Russia, and 1 species new for Russia. The distribution and
bionomics of each species are described in brief.

The present communication deals with the pyralid-
moth family Crambidae (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea) of
Buryatia. The preceding publications of the author
(Shodotova, 2005a, 2007) concerned the families Gal-
leriidae, Pyralidae, Phycitidae, and Pyraustidae. Some
data on species of the family Crambidae of Buryatia
and the Dzhengirskii Nature Reserve were also pub-
lished earlier (Shodotova, 2000, 2003, 2005b; Ustju-
zhanin and Shodotova, 2000; Shodotova and Rudykh,
2004). An annotated list of species of the family was
given in the monograph devoted to lepidopterans of
Buryatia (Shodotova et al., 2007).
Representatives of the family Crambidae are mainly
medium-sized moths. The insects fly in mass in the
middle and late summer, being active at dusk and at
night, but can be also flushed from grass in the day-
time. Among the typical habitats of the moths are
meadows, steppes, and other open biotopes with
gramineans. Larvae usually develop on gramineans but
can occur on mosses and on remnants of the vegetative
origin. Species of Crambidae can injure hay meadows,
pastures, and grain-crops (some species of the genera
Agriphila Hbn., Pediasia Hbn., Talis Gn., etc.). Most
species of the family are widely distributed. A total of
137 genera and about 1600 species are known in the
World fauna, 50 genera and 400 species, in the Palae-
arctics, and 20 genera and 110 species, in the fauna of
the European part of Russia and the CIS (Falkovitsh,
1986).
Species of the family Crambidae in Siberia remain
insufficiently studied. There are few publications cov-
ering the region on the whole (Korshunov, 1990), Mi-
nusinsk Territory (Filipjev, 1924a, 1924b, 1927), and
also Tuva (Kozakevich, 1982), Transbaikalia (Ko-
zakevich, 1978; Kostyuk et al., 1994; Ustjuzhanin et
al., 2004), and Yakutia (Ustjuzhanin, 1988; Ustju-
zhanin and Dubatolov, 1990). Information about the
distribution of some species over the region was pub-
lished in reviews and catalogues (Rebel, 1901; Han-
nemann, 1964; Bleszyński, 1965). The first mentions
of the family occurred in the paper devoted to lepidop-
terans of the Malkhanskii Range (Staudinger, 1892),
and a short list including 14 species was published
later (Kozakevich, 1978).
The present study is based on the author’s collec-
tions made within the period of 1997–2003 in all the
natural zones of Buryatia, and also on the material
kindly supplied by P.Ya. Ustjuzhanin (Novosibirsk),
and the collections of the Siberian Zoological Museum
of the Institute for Animal Systematics and Ecology,
Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(IASE) (Novosibirsk).
The classification of the taxa and data on their dis-
tribution and trophic associations are given according
to the summurized publications of native and foreign
authors (Hannemann, 1964; Bleszyński, 1965; Falk-
ovitsh, 1986; Kirpichnikova, 1999).
The following designations are used in text: (*)
species indicated for Buryatia for the first time, (**)
species new for the Asian part of Russia, (***) species
new for Russia. Collectors are indicated in parenthe-
sis.
