149 Lepidoptera species from 16 families were reported for the territory of the proposed protected area "Belokurikha Natural Park". This list is the primary data on the fauna of Lepidoptera in the region. Most of the species belongs to Euro-Siberian and Transpalaearctic groups.

Key words: Altai, fauna, protected areas, Lepidoptera.

INTRODUCTION

The study is carried out within the project on creation of specially protected natural area (SPNA) of regional importance, Belokurikha Natural Park, in the Smolenskiy and Altaisliy districts of the Altai Krai (Fig. 1).

The territory of the proposed natural park is located in the low part of the Altai mountain region. The absolute level of relief varies from 240 to 1379 m asl (Mt. Sinyukha). As remnant surfaces, the intrusive massifs with the peaks Sinyukha, Sukhaya Griva, Listvyanka, Tserkovka Kruglaya, Chernovaya and others rise above the rest of the territory. Most of the streams and small rivers are part of the Peschanaya river basin. The river Peschanaya is a left tributary of the river Ob and flows into it at 8 km above Ust-Anui village. It starts in the south-western end of Seminsky ridge near its connection to the Cherginsky ridge. According to the botanical zoning of Altai (Kamelin, 2005) the territory of the proposed SPNA belongs to the North Altai district of the Altai-West Sayan mountainous province of the Circumboreal Holarctic region. A considerable part of the territory (52,8%) is covered by forests, among which the taiga is predominating by area. The main forest-forming species of the natural park are the following types of trees: Abies sibirica, Pinus sylvestris, Betula pendula, Populus tremula. Picea obovata, Larix sibirica and Pinus sibirica are found in the park quite rarely and do not form pure stands. Communities of mesophilic shrubs (Caragana frutex, C. arborescens, Spiraea media, S. chamaedrifolia, Sambucus racemosa, Rosa spinosissima) occur in ravines and low parts of slopes. The herbage is characterized by strong tall grasses (Aconitum septentrionale, Trollius asiaticus, Millium effusum, Vicia pisiformis, V. unijuga, V. sylvatica, Galium boreale,Veratrum lobelianum and Bupleurum aureum) (Silantieva, 2005).

The Lepidopteran fauna of the Russian Altai is still fragmentarily studied. The Rhopalocera butterflies (Papilionoidea) are studied rather well. There are reviews on the day butterflies fauna of the West Altai (Lukhtanov et al., 2007), North-West Altai (Malkov, 1999), Tigirek State Reserve (Volynkin et al., 2011), Kurai ridge (Yakovlev & Nakonechnyi, 2001) and plateau Ukok (Yakovlev, 2004a). All the data on the local faunas of day butterflies are summarized in the monograph (Tshikolovets et al., 2009). The summary on the other Lepidoptera groups of Altai with detailed published faunistic data include only Cossidae (Yakovlev, 2004b), Pterophoridae (Ustjuzhanin, Kovtunovich, 2008), Acrtiidae (Dubatolov, 2010) and Noctuidae (Volynkin, 2012). Thus, the local faunas of Altai Lepidoptera need further study, and such research acquires a peculiar importance in areas of existing or planned SPNA.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The examination of the Lepidopteran fauna was carried out in two localities of the proposed SPNA during the period of 21.07.-1.08.2015:

1. Smolenskiy district, near Belokurikha city, (51°55'21.4''N/084°59'14.1"E) (taiga) (B1);

2. Altaiskiy district, Valley of Peschanaya river (51°49'42.8''N/084°47'55.8"E) (lowlands) (B2).

The Lepidoptera specimens were collected using the standard methods, such as: ISSN 2225-5486 (Print), ISSN 2226-9010 (Online). Ewпогiцнuu eimuKMffnY. 2016. №1

1. Collecting with a butterfly net;

2. Attracting to artificial light screen (generator Subaru-750 and lamps OSRAM HWL-250W);

3. Using battery traps with lamps «Phillips 12W» (killing agent - chloroform). The characterization of the collected material was carried out by the experts in

groups: Geometridae - S.V. Vasilenko, Noctuoidea - A.V. Volynkin, Pyraloidea -P.Ya. Ustjuzhanin and L.S. Snigireva, the other groups - R.V. Yakovlev.

DISCUSSION

Thus, 149 Lepidoptera species belonging to 16 families have been discovered. This list is just primary data, and it is not exhaustive, as in the further systematic studies in different seasons and different parts of the proposed SPNA, according to the expert assessment, it is possible to discover up to 800 species of the order Lepidoptera. The vast majority of the collected species belong to two arealogical groups - Transpalaearctic and Euro-Siberian.

Two species of Papilionoidea (P. nomion and D. sagana) belong to East-Palaearctic group. The complex of Lepidoptera species is standard for the Northern Altai. One species is listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and in the Red Data Book of the International Nature Protection Union - P. Apollo; two species are listed in the Red book of the Altai territory - P. apollo and D. sagana. Thus, due to the Lepidopteran fauna typicality and to the presence of at least two protected species in the studied area, we can confirm the good preservation and typicality of this area in the natural complex of the Northern Altai.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
