Abstract

We report the first faunal list of Pyraloidea of Belgorod Region, including 60 species of 46 genera, belonging to two families. Phycita roborella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Euzophera pinguis (Haworth, 1811), Cadra furcatella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1849), Cadra figulilella (Gregson, 1871), Pediasia contaminella (Hübner, 1796), Schoenobius gigantella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) have been recorded for European Central Black Earth region for the first time. We collected the invasive boxwood pest Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) already registered in the territory of Belgorod region in 2022. In addition the results of testing traps with synthetic sex pheromone of Ephestia elutella (Hübner, 1796), including components (Z, E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate and (Z, E)-9,12-tetradecadienol, are presented. 7 species of the Phycitini tribe attracted by this pheromone in the observed locality were recorded.
