A total number of 35 spider species and more than 170 insect species from five orders were recorded from the southeast of Poltava Region through the pitfall-trapping in the floodplain meadows. Six spider species, eight true bug species, and five beetle species are new for Poltava Region; one spider species (Pardosa maisa) and one fly species (Aphanotrigonum brachypterum) are new for Ukraine. For A. brachypterum, it is the first record from the East European Plain. Spider assemblages were the most abundant in the terms of species and individuals in a saline meadow while the beetles preferred mesic non-saline meadows. A checklist of collected species is given, and the geographic distribution of the rare species is discussed.

INTRODUCTION
The arthropod fauna of Poltava Region has been quite poorly studied. By the beginning of 2013, a regional checklist of spiders had included 183 species (Polchaninova & Prokopenko, 2013); in 2014, it was enlarged to 197 species (Singaevsky, 2014). For comparison, the araneofauna of the neighbouring Kharkiv Region includes 406 species (Polchaninova & Slutsky, 2013). There are no checklists of beetles, true bugs or dipterans of Poltava Region, and the information about their fauna is scattered in various papers. In particular, the data about the true bugs of the Region is in the common list of Hemiptera in Ukraine (Putshkov V. & Putshkov P., 1996), while the data on beetles are in a number of publications (Angelini & Perkovsky, 1998; Bartenev, 2009; Putchkov, 2008; Trikhleb, 2003; Zhantiev, 1976). Among the dipterans of Poltava region, the species of medical and/or parasitic importance have been studied best of all (Lebedeva & Kovban, 1971; Gritsai, 1973).
The aim of this work is to supplement the lists of spiders and insects of Poltava Region, identify rare species and specify their geographic distribution.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The material was collected in the vicinity of Nekhvotoshcha Vil. (49°09'N 34°43'E) and Svitlivshchyna Vil. (49°12'N 34°33'E) in Novi Sanzhary District of Poltava Region. A mesic saline meadow (further in the list - saline mead.), mesic non-saline meadow (mesic mead.), and wet non-saline meadow in the relief depression near the former riverbed (wet mead.) were investigated. The arthropods were collected through pitfall-trapping with the help of 250 ml plastic caps. In each studied meadow, the traps were established in one line, eight caps at a distance of 10 m from each other. A 4% solution of formalin was applied as a preserving liquid. The exposition was for 37 days in the spring-summer period (7 May - 13 June 2014) and 36 days in the summer-autumn period (4 August - 9 September 2014). The traps were emptied approximately once a fortnight. A total number of 625 spiders, 39 orthopterans, 51 true bugs, 4174 beetles, more than 2000 hymenopterans, and 120 dipterans were collected.
In the annotated checklist, each species is provided with a number of specimens, date, habitat, and a collecting locality. New species for Poltava Region are marked with an exclamation point (!), the new ones
for Ukraine with two exclamation points (!!). All the collected spiders and insects have been given in the list despite the fact that some of them are not typical ground-dwellers and have fallen in the traps occasionally (marked with an asterisk *). The material was identified by the following authors: Aranei - N. Polchaninova, Hemiptera, Coleoptera (except Carabidae), and Hymenoptera (Mutillidae) - A. Drogvalenko, Carabidae - A. Putchkov, Diptera - I. Lezhenina. The spiders are deposited in N. Polchaninova' private collection; the insects are in the Museum of Nature of the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (curator A.N. Drogvalenko).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Spiders (Aranei). Thirty-five spider species from 10 families were recorded in the studied meadows: 29 species were found in the vicinity of Nekhvoroshcha, and 22 species in the environs of Svitlivshchyna. Six species are new for Poltava Region (Alopecosa aculeata, Arctosa leopardus, Antistea elegans, Haplodrassus minor, Zelotes latreillei, Salticus zebraneus), one species (Pardosa maisa) is new for Ukraine. P. maisa has a patched geographic distribution in Middle and Northern Europe. It has also been registered in Belarus, Central Black Earth Region of Russia and in the Middle Urals (Polchaninova, 2012; Mikhailov, 2013). According to newly obtained data, the southern boundary of its range in the East European Plain runs through the village of Svitlivshchyna in Poltava Region and the village of Nesterivka (49°54'N 37°18'E) in Kharkiv Region. In both localities, the species occurs in wet meadows (Polchaninova, pers. data).
The other rare species in Poltava Region, Haplodrassus bohemicus, is known from the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Ukraine and southeastern European Russia (Kovblyuk & al., 2012; Nentwig & al., 2016). According to our data, it is a common generalist species in the Right-Bank Ukraine. Further to the east, it decreases in numbers and in the northeast of its geographic range (in Poltava and Kharkiv Regions), it occurs exclusively in the intrazonal habitats like sandy steppes, saline meadows and/or agricultural fields (Zhuravel & al., 2012; Polchaninova).
Alopecosa kovblyuki has been registered on the Crimean peninsula, in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Poltava Regions of Ukraine, and in southeastern European Russia (Nadolny & al., 2013). Presumably, the northern boundary of its geographic range passes through Poltava Region.
Spider assemblages in the saline meadow were the richest (25 species, 314 individuals), while the assemblages of the mesic non-saline and wet non-saline meadows were poorer and differed insignificantly (15 and 14 species, 127 and 166 individuals, respectively).
Beetles (Coleoptera). The overwhelming majority of the collected insects belongs to the Coleoptera order (4174 individuals from 25 families: 4077 individuals have been identified to the species level (129 species), 35 individuals have been recorded to the genus level (9 genera), and 62 individuals to the family level). Eighty-four beetle species were collected from the vicinity of Nekhvoroshcha and 97 species from the environs of Svitlivshchyna. The majority of collected beetles is common species widely spread within the forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine (Sumarokov, 2002, 2003). Five species (Cylindromorphus filum, Habroloma breiti, Dermestes kaszabi, Corticarina truncatella h Agathidium marginatum) have been recorded from Poltava Region for the first time. Of these, D. kaszabi is quite rare, and it has been registered in Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk Regions, and the Crimea (Zhantiev, 1976; Sumarokov, 2003); we have also personal data from Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv Regions. The other four species are widely distributed, but have not been collected yet from Poltava Region.
Our collection has proved the distribution of a vast range of ground beetle species, recorded constantly from Poltava Region (Kolesnikov & Brauner, 1988; Kolesnikov & Sumarokov 1993; Putchkov, 2012). Nevertheless, we have managed to find some new and poorly known species such as Acupalpus luteatus, Brachinus psophia, Callistus lunatus, Carabus clathratus, Harpalus luteicornis, and Harpalus subcylindricus. Carabid assemblages were the richest in mesic meadows (44 species, more than 600 specimens). In the wet meadow, the species composition decreased by almost a quarter (33 species), remaining at the same level in the terms of individual numbers. The saline meadow was characterized by the poorest species composition and abundance of ground beetles (22 species and nearly 240 individuals).
It should be mentioned a high abundance of Silpha tristis (Silphidae) in the meadows near the village of Svitlivshchina, though in the neighbouring Kharkiv Region, this species is rare and listed in the Red Data Book (Drogvalenko, 2013).
The finds of Lycoperdina succincta (Elateridae), associated in its development stages with the fungus-slickers, and Colon serripes and Leiodes badia (Leiodidae), associated with the actinomycetes fungi having underground fruiting bodies, show a good preservation of natural habitats and moderate anthropogenic pressure on this area. A significant part of the found species considers as agricultural pests (Harpalus rufipes, Bothynoderes affinis, Tanymecus palliatus, Agriotes lineatus, Miltotrogus vernus, Maladera holosericea, Pentodon idiota, Gonocephalum granulatum, Opatrum sabulosum).
True bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera). In the studied meadows, the true bugs were represented by 26 species from seven families. Eight species (Canthophorus impressus, Hebrus ruficeps, Megalonotus antennatus, Podops inunctus, P. rectidens, Chartoscirta elegantula, Salda muelleri h Agramma fallax) are new to Poltava Region. Five of them (H. ruficeps, P. inunctus, P. rectidens, Ch. elegantula, and S. muelleri) can be considered habitat specialists preferring wetlands.
Short-horn flies (Brachycera: Diptera). The collected dipterans belonged to 16 families, but we have listed only seven which specimens were indentified to the genus and/or species level. The traps caught many typical herb-dwelling species, as a rule saprophagous developing in the grasses stalks. Aphanotrigonum brachypterum, a short-wing fruit fly from Chloropidae family, is of particular interest. According to the European Database, it is a quite rare species registered in the Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia (Nartshuk & Andersson, 2013; Fauna Europaea, 2013). In the Identification Guide of the Diptera of the European part of the USSR (Opredelitel'... 1970), it was referred to Western Europe with a note on possible finds eastwards. It is the first record of A. brachypterum in the East European Plain. In the studied locality, the species preferred mesic non-saline meadows.
The orthopterans in our collection included only three species from two families of the long-horn Orthoptera, and belonged to common species.
Only one species of collected hymenopterans was identified, the velvet ant Myrmilla glabrata. It parasitizes solitary bees and belongs to typical ground-dwelling insects.
CONCLUSIONS
Thus, despite a relatively short collecting period, in the southeast of Poltava Region there were recorded 35 spider species from 10 families and more than 170 insect species from 42 families and five orders. Nineteen species of various orders have been registered in Poltava Region for the first time. The species composition and arthropods' abundance (on the example of the spiders and beetles) differed significantly when comparing saline and non-saline meadows. The finds of a range of rare species as well as new species for Ukraine and the East European Plain indicate a high conservation value of the study area.
The obtained data are preliminary and may be extended and refined in the course of further research.
